I’m Amari Love; a coach, writer, and filmmaker who recovered from over 30 years of invisible chronic illness, including three years bedbound and housebound with Long Covid. For so much of my life I lived with unexplained symptoms and a long list of diagnoses. Treatments came and went, but nothing created lasting change. It wasn’t until I understood how hidden stressors, suppressed emotions, and behavioural survival patterns shape the brain and nervous system that real recovery became possible.

From childhood, my body gave me constant signals that something was wrong. I had growing pains as a small child, then chronic back pain as a teenager. By the age of 20, I had collected a long list of issues: gut problems, widespread pain in my bones, fibromyalgia, breathing difficulties, anxiety, and depression. I was prescribed medication from the age of sixteen and, like many people in this culture, I kept pushing through. I focused on career, ambition, and contribution, often working more than one job at a time, studying nutrition and alternative health modalities alongside my already full weeks. When I became a mother, I added that responsibility to the rest, determined to excel there too. By my 40s, I had exhausted every healing protocol I could find: diets, retreats, supplements, fasts, juice cleanses, and intensive gym routines. I battled cancer and “won”, and continued to be outwardly “fighting fit” while inside my symptoms multiplied. Looking back, I now see that I was living with chronic fatigue syndrome / M.E., but at the time I had no idea all my symptoms were connected. I managed my days through sheer willpower, but pain, fatigue, and loss of capacity meant my social life and connections dwindled.

When the pandemic hit, everything crashed. I was one of the first in the UK to contract Covid, told to stay home in bed because hospitals were unprepared. I thought it would last a few weeks, but instead, it took the next three years. I lived with a revolving list of symptoms that added to my existing ones: I had brain fog, PEM, blackouts, and other new issues to manage. My life kept getting smaller until I could no longer leave my bed in a room with blacked-out windows. 

I thought I had reached the end. I had really tried everything I could find, but nothing created lasting change. So when I first came across the idea of Mindbody healing, I didn’t understand it was something completely different. Then I was introduced to the work of Dr John Sarno and the theory of TMS (The Mindbody Syndrome), and everything began to change.

What followed was a focused journey through brain rewiring, somatic healing, and emotional integration. These approaches reshaped how my brain and nervous system functioned, and my system began to recalibrate. It changed the course of my life.

I immersed myself in studies of neuroplasticity, somatic approaches, emotional healing, and cross-disciplinary frameworks. Through training in mind-body practice and meditation, I discovered how to identify and release the hidden stressors and emotional patterns that drive chronic systemic illness. 

What I learned is that recovery begins when you create the conditions for the mind-body system to reset and rewire. I guide others into building this same foundation, and then through the phases that follow: brain and nervous system rewiring, emotional healing and recalibration, and integration into daily life. This is now the heart of my work, and I offer it with clear, structured guidance.

Recovery begins with Mindbody tools for symptom relief, but the real goal is reclaiming your life. Today, I live in ways that once felt impossible: travelling, working, connecting, and enjoying the strength and clarity I thought I had lost forever. This is the transformation I help others create.
