The Life Energy Foundation
The Life Energy Foundation

Hi, I’m Sharon. I know, from personal experience, how frustrating it can be when you feel terrible, and you can’t get answers. I created The Life Energy Foundation so nobody with a chronic condition ever has to feel hopeless or stuck. Through a wealth of non-pharmaceutical interventions and resources, there is so much hope! As someone who also deals with a chronic condition (fibromyalgia), bringing these resources to you isn’t just something I’m passionate about—it’s deeply personal.

Life with a chronic condition isn’t easy. It can be crazy and awful—I know! There is lots of ebb and flow. But no matter what point you’re at, we can help you improve. We can help you create resilience.

I always say that “change happens when change must.” If change must happen for you, we are here to support you on your journey. 

Sending strength and positivity,

Sharon Bourke, CMES
