Dale

“This course and study group were enormously helpful. And it was important to do both with some time off in between. I have a much bigger energy budget and am much less anxious about doing something that will result in a crash.”

Judy-Ann

“Every week, I was learning new things about the illness and how to cope with it. Suggestions from the group helped me learn how to pace myself better and focus on better quality sleep. I have been able to return to working part-time after taking this program. I never thought I would be able to do that again.”

Susan

“Thanks to the moderator (Amanda) who assisted with computer illiteracy or brain fog or both, I was able to get just enough exposure and saw Dr. Stein give a video presentation. I was deeply moved by her knowledge, compassion, practicality, and expertise as a physician specializing in psychiatry. In addition, her warmth and sense of hope, especially as one who has managed her own CFS/ME for over 20 years, I decided to take a leap of faith and register. . . Dr. Stein is committed to the latest evidence-based research and lived experience.”

Chris

"I have more acceptance of my health. I have found a better balance between not losing hope, but not wasting time chasing medical interventions."

Claire

"The course has given me a new beginning on my journey. I feel confident now to sit down and create a plan and new goals for my life."

Ed

“After about 11 months of nightly CBTI practice, I can fall asleep, free of sleep aids. My worries about falling asleep have been replaced by a curiosity about when I will drift off, all while feeling calm and comfortable. Just a year ago, I dreaded the end of the day—lying in bed, endlessly worrying about how long it would take to drift off as my body ached. That's over. Thanks, Dr. Stein and Amanda!"

Allison

"I have experienced an improvement in my energy levels since January. I have been able to gradually increase my steps from 3,000 to 6,000 daily."

Amanda met Dr. Eleanor Stein after living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) for over 15 years. She suffered from frequent energy crashes, pain flare-ups, brain fog, and frequent migraines. 

Amanda’s doctor admitted, “I don’t know how to help you,” and recommended Dr. Stein’s programs. Amanda registered for Pathways to Improvement, where she learned daily changes that drastically improved her quality of life.

In Amanda’s words, “I no longer have ongoing FM pain or chronic migraines, and all my symptoms of ME/CFS have improved significantly. My day-to-day energy is more stable as I finally stopped the push-crash cycle. I still consider myself a work in progress, but I have figured out a balance that works for me. That is what I envision for Pathways in Action—that with ongoing support, you’ll figure out which of the strategies work for you and how to put it all into action so that you can manage your life better and find your balance.”

1. How do I get the most out of Pathways in Action?

• People get out what they put into the Pathways in Action mentorship.
• Improvement is possible if people try new lifestyle modifications.

   We recommend that you

• review the Pathways to Improvement self-study course materials prior to each session;
• chart and try new strategies between live sessions; and
• bring your comments and questions to each session.

2. What if I am very ill and need someone to help me with the course?
To assist people who are severely affected, you may nominate a carer to take the course with you (at no extra cost).

3. Can I book an appointment with Dr. Stein and pay her privately?
No, Dr. Eleanor Stein is fully retired from clinical care. She has put what she knows into her online courses and updates them as she learns more.
