Hi! My name is Amaya and I have had a chronic illness for as long as I can remember. Here are some useful products that have helped me with my chronic illness and autoimmune disease and I hope they can ease your life a little bit! Please let me know if you have any questions or recommendations for the list!
I have ADHD, and when it's time for bed, my brain sometimes goes on adventures and sidequests I have zero control over. It starts planning funeral speeches that hopefully won't be relevant in the next 40 years. At the same time, it is planning to build a new dining table from scratch, while looping the chorus, and ONLY the chorus, from "Nightfever" by the BeeGees.As you may understand, I have to be really strict with my bedtime routine. Through a lifetime of trial and error, I have learned what works and what does not work. Sometimes white noise is a lifesaver, other times my brain turns it into a clubmix. However, when I create a calming atmosphere around me, and I have a few different tools on hand, to help me unwind, I can fall asleep within a reasonable time every night. I hope you can find something to help you here! 🔗 ***In some of the descriptions I have linked to research papers, to help you gain some knowledge about your sleep.***🔗

My personal journey through Mind-Body Healing began when in adolescence when I was struggling with anxiety, depression, and chronic physical symptoms as well.

I've started putting together these lists of resources that I've been using and sharing with clients for the past ten years and I hope you'll find them helpful in your healing journey too.

I have a post on my Instagram with all the research I've done on the topic.
