About Anna
Background
Hi! I'm Anna Fryxelius, I'm an expert in overcoming chronic illness. Autoimmune Rheumatoid Arthritis, scleroderma, a complex spinal fracture, several spinal fusion surgeries and a whiplash injury were what caused my pain and disability. The doctors gave up on me when I was 25 years old. A life of being bed bound, in constant pain, on disability income and dependent on lots of medication was what they left me with.
Instead of accepting that, I built my own healing system, and implemented it gradually. With knowledge from breakthrough neuroscience, science-based rehabilitation methods and ancient health philosophies, I combined the best of different modalities in order to recover and build the healthy, happy and active life I wanted.
I call it Health Mastery.
Health Mastery is a structured 12-week process with practical tools and exercises, which leads to personal transformation.
Implemented as a regular practice, it will teach you how to optimise your own health.
Using this method, I recovered so well that I could get out of my hospital bed, park my wheelchair and complete an 800 km pilgrimage, walking to Santiago de Compostella in 2005, and travel around the world in the years following that. I learnt traditional Wushu (WuTan style Kung Fu) and was healthy and strong enough to be able to take up my hobbies of music, painting, horseback riding and volunteer work while also working full time as a leader in an NGO health organisation. In the same time period, I had two children and wrote my first book.
Some of my doctors have labeled my healing as "miraculous" but it really wasn't. It was hard work put into a good system.
It's a system that I now teach to others.
My Healthy Life
Life shouldn't be about fighting illness
Getting any kind of chronic health issue - tends to take up a lot of space in your life. I found out that it was important for me to focus on the healthy and active experiences I wanted to have - and prioritise doing things that led towards those healthy goals. That was, my capacity gradually grew. Every healthy milestone I reached had a snowball effect and led to more opportunities.
After overcoming my own chronic issues and disability, I have been working for a patient NGO for the last 10 years, helping people and advocating for better treatment. I have one published book, Norwegian only, and am working on more books in both English and Norwegian (I'm 50% British & 50% Norwegian and grew up bilingual).
Now I run my own business and work full time helping people get their life back from chronic pain.
