Fatigue & Burnout Coaching Since 2002
An educational programme for people living with ME/CFS, Burnout, Long-Covid, Fibromyalgia and Post Viral Fatigue.
If you’ve landed on this page, chances are you already know something isn’t right.
You’re exhausted in a way that sleep doesn’t fix. You’ve cancelled plans so many times that people have stopped asking. You’ve been to the doctor, had the blood tests, been told everything is “normal”. And sent home without a plan.
Maybe you’ve tried pacing, supplements, changing your diet, resting more. Some of it helped a little. None of it was enough.
And underneath everything, there’s a question you might not say out loud:
Is this just my life now?
It doesn’t have to be. And you’re not here by accident.
Most approaches to ME/CFS and chronic fatigue focus on managing symptoms. Rest more. Pace yourself. Reduce stress.
These things matter. But they don’t address what’s driving the fatigue in the first place.
After working with over 800 people, and living with ME/CFS myself for a decade, here’s what I’ve found:
The fatigue isn’t the root problem. It’s a signal.
That’s why rest alone often isn’t enough. You can lie down all day, but if your nervous system still believes you’re under threat, your body can’t fully restore itself.
This course teaches you how to recognise that pattern, and begin to change your relationship with it.
Amir Norris, Fatigue & Burnout Coach
ME/CFS for 10 years. Supporting others since 2002.
We can’t promise specific outcomes. Everyone’s journey is different. But here’s what people who’ve taken this course commonly describe:
These aren’t promises. They’re patterns we’ve observed across 20 years and hundreds of people. Your experience will be your own.
A step-by-step educational programme developed over 20 years of working with people living with ME/CFS, burnout, Long-Covid, and fibromyalgia.
The course is built on what Amir calls the Mirror Method: the idea that you can learn from the patterns of people who’ve navigated similar challenges before you.
After supporting over 800 people, Amir and Aliya have mapped out what these patterns look like. The course walks you through them, step by step, at your own pace, from wherever you are right now.
It’s not a quick fix. It’s not a magic pill. It’s a framework for understanding what’s happening in your body and learning how to respond differently.
5–10 minutes each. Designed for people who are exhausted.
Watch from bed if that’s where you are. Phone, tablet, or laptop.
No deadlines. No pressure. Go as slowly as you need.
9 modules. 70+ short video lessons. Each designed to address a specific aspect of your fatigue, practically and gently.
Before you can change the pattern, you need to see it clearly. These two modules give you the framework everything else builds on.
Why you’re stuck in the fatigue cycle, and what’s actually driving it. Drawing on two decades of experience and over 800 case studies, this module gives you clarity on the factors that may be keeping your symptoms going.
14 short video lessonsThe heart of the course. You’ll learn the Energy Excellence Process (EEP): a practical approach that addresses the mental, emotional, and physical dimensions of fatigue. Designed to be simple enough to use on your worst days.
17 short video lessonsSix focused modules, each tackling a different dimension of fatigue. Nervous system, emotions, physical support, sleep. You work through them at your own pace.
Practical tools for when you’re stuck in “wired but tired” mode. Simple techniques designed to support your nervous system in shifting out of high alert.
6 short video lessonsA technique for navigating the emotional side of fatigue: anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, anger, fear. Because fatigue isn’t just physical, and the emotional weight of it deserves its own attention.
4 short video lessonsWhat our experience suggests about the role of hydration in fatigue conditions, and practical steps you can take to support your body. Simple changes that many of our students have found helpful.
6 short video lessonsThere’s no single diet that works for everyone. This module shares what hundreds of people with fatigue conditions have reported about which foods helped and which made things worse, so you can make informed choices for yourself.
9 short video lessonsWhy sleep can be so difficult with fatigue conditions, and what you can do to support better rest. Practical strategies for the nights when you’re exhausted but your mind won’t stop.
7 short video lessonsHow to become your own coach. A simple problem-solving framework that helps you navigate setbacks, make decisions, and stay on track without depending on anyone else.
5 short video lessonsBringing it all together so the tools become a natural part of how you live, not another thing to keep up with.
A concise summary of everything you’ve learned, with practical guidance for integrating the tools into your daily life going forward.
2 short video lessonsThe full course and all bonus materials are included in every plan.
70+ short video lessons (5–10 minutes each), self-paced, with lifetime access on Standard and Supported plans.
A 30-minute guided relaxation practice with Amir, designed to support deep physical calm.
A guided audio with Aliya, designed for the nights when you’re exhausted but can’t switch off.
Short sessions explaining what may be behind many of the symptoms you’re experiencing: brain fog, light sensitivity, digestive issues, and more.
Real questions from other students, with detailed answers from Amir and Aliya, so you benefit from the collective experience.
Downloadable materials to help you apply what you’re learning.
A verified digital certificate recognising your commitment, useful for employers or simply for yourself.
Ask questions about the material, your situation, or how to apply the techniques. Duration depends on your plan.
Fatigue & Burnout Coach
Amir lived with ME/CFS for over 10 years. He knows this territory from the inside: the exhaustion, the frustration, the medical dead ends, the isolation.
What he discovered during that decade about the role of the nervous system changed his relationship with his health completely. It became the foundation of the Energy Excellence Course, which he has been developing and refining since 2002.
Amir has worked with over 800 people, been a keynote speaker on ME/CFS, featured in a Norwegian documentary, and his clients have been interviewed on BBC Radio 2 and in national newspapers.
Remedial Therapist & Course Coach
Aliya has been a partner at Fatigue Answers since 2008 and is a course coach on the Energy Excellence Course. With over 26 years of experience, she specialises in restorative movement, body awareness, and nervous system support.
Aliya’s voice guides the Peaceful Sleep Audio, and she provides hands-on coaching support to students throughout the course.
Personal accounts from course students. Individual experiences shared in their own words.
Three people, three different starting points, the same process.
After a severe bout of flu, Sophie was too weak to move around the house and unable to work, with brain fog, hypoglycaemia, and debilitating fatigue crashes.
“I had no idea what was happening to me and was terrified of making it worse. It took commitment, and it was a slow, bumpy road, but I kept going with the process.”
Liz needed to rest every day and easily got exhausted and brain fogged. Three months after finishing the course, she went on a filming trip through Spain and Morocco.
“There was quite a bit of stress and hard work during our travels but I kept up doing the process whenever I could feel myself starting to dip. I managed it, and returned happy and more confident in my abilities.”
Laura’s Long-COVID symptoms included blacking out, postural tachycardia, and weakness so debilitating she could not lift a dinner plate.
“I couldn’t understand how post-viral symptoms could lead to blacking out, postural tachycardia that made it difficult to stand, and weakness so debilitating I couldn’t even lift a dinner plate. Part of me was worried the course might not work for me, but by consistently applying it, even through setbacks, I found I was able to keep going.”
These are personal experiences shared voluntarily by course students and represent individual outcomes. Results vary from person to person and these accounts should not be taken as typical. This is educational coaching, not medical treatment. Always consult your GP or medical professional regarding your health.
All three plans include the complete course and all bonus materials. The difference is the level of personal coaching support and access duration.

Take the course. Work through the modules at your own pace. Apply the tools. If after engaging with the course for at least 4 months, you feel it hasn’t supported your wellbeing in any meaningful way, send us your completed worksheets and we’ll give you a full refund.
You have a full year from purchase to request this.
We ask for evidence of engagement (not evidence of “results”) because the course works best when you work with it. We want to make sure you’ve given it a genuine chance before deciding it’s not for you.
This course was designed specifically for people who say exactly that. Every video lesson is 5–10 minutes long. You can watch from bed. You can do one lesson a day, or one a week, or take a month off and come back. You have lifetime access, so there is genuinely no pressure and no timeline. Many of our students have started the course at their lowest point, barely able to get through the day. The materials meet you where you are.
I understand that scepticism. I felt it too, for a decade. This course takes a different approach from most fatigue programmes. Rather than focusing on symptom management alone, it addresses the nervous system patterns that may be keeping the fatigue cycle going. It’s not supplements, medication, or standard pacing advice. That said, I can’t promise it will work for you. What I can say is that the approach has supported over 800 people across 20+ years, and I’d encourage you to read some of their stories before deciding.
No. The Energy Excellence Course is educational coaching. It’s designed to help you understand your condition and develop practical strategies. It does not replace medical advice, and we always encourage you to work with your GP alongside the course.
The Standard and Supported plans include lifetime access to all course materials. The Essentials plan includes one year of access. All plans include the complete course, bonus materials, and coaching support.
Yes. There are no deadlines, no scheduled sessions, and no pressure. You work through the material at whatever pace your energy allows. That said, we find the tools tend to embed better when you keep a gentle, steady rhythm rather than letting long gaps build up between sessions.
All plans include email coaching support from Amir and Aliya. You can ask questions about the material, your specific situation, or how to apply the techniques. The Essentials plan includes 1 month of support, Standard includes 3 months, and the Supported plan includes 6 months.
We offer a full refund if, after engaging with the course for at least 4 months, you feel it hasn’t supported your wellbeing. We ask to see your completed worksheets as evidence that you’ve engaged with the material. You have one year from purchase to request a refund.
If you’ve read this far, something on this page resonated with you. Maybe it was recognising your own experience in the opening paragraphs. Maybe it was the nervous system explanation. Maybe it was reading how the course has been for other people.
I’m not going to tell you this course will change your life. I don’t know your situation, and I don’t make promises I can’t keep.
What I can tell you is this: I spent a decade in the same place you may be in right now. And the understanding that I eventually found, about what was actually driving my fatigue, changed everything for me. This course is my attempt to share that understanding with you, as clearly and practically as I can.
If it feels right, I’d be glad to have you.
If it doesn’t feel right yet, that’s okay too. The free mini-course is a good place to start, and I’ll keep showing up in your inbox with useful content either way.
