Following a stroke in 2010, I was still able to think and feel, but was unable to move any part of my body for months. I was soon told that I was suffering from a condition known as ‘locked in syndrome’. Through self-belief, visualisation and motivation, I managed to regain control of my body against medical odds.
A lot has changed since the stroke. I have ‘bounced back’ by becoming a highly regarded TEDx motivational speaker, pioneered two pieces of research at Nottingham University and even won the title of ‘Extraordinary Woman of the Year’ in 2011. I also became an author and wrote the internationally acclaimed book ‘Running Free – Breaking out of locked in syndrome’.
