Behind the program is a team of dedicated experts and coaches, each with their own story of resilience and recovery. Their knowledge, combined with personal experience, allows them to guide you through the journey to wellness. Let’s meet the incredible team who is here to help you regain your health and quality of life.
Miguel Bautista – Founder of CFS Recovery
Miguel Bautista, the founder of CFS Recovery, is living proof that full recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is possible. At the age of 22, Miguel was bedridden due to CFS, unable to complete even basic tasks. But through neuroplasticity and groundbreaking work on rewiring his brain and nervous system, Miguel transformed his health and is now thriving again.
Miguel’s journey started with his background as a personal trainer, but after his body crashed, he spent years searching for answers, experiencing frustration with the lack of support. Eventually, through extensive research and experimentation, he discovered that the key to healing was rewiring the brain and calming the overstimulated nervous system.
This insight led him to create the CFS Recovery Program, which has since helped thousands worldwide recover from CFS, fibromyalgia, and other nervous system disorders. His experience shaped the program’s focus on science-backed methods, neuroplasticity, and a compassionate, individualized approach to recovery.
Miguel’s motto: “You are just one mindshift away from living a life with thriving health.”
Junior – Thriver Coach
Junior, one of our expert coaches, has a deeply inspiring story of resilience. After spending five years battling a hypersensitive nervous system, Junior found himself bedridden, isolated, and struggling with his health. But he didn’t give up. Through perseverance and commitment to healing, he transformed his health and his life.
Today, Junior enjoys doing activities he once thought were impossible—like walking 30,000 steps at Disneyworld, playing music, and socializing with friends. His personal experience fuels his passion for coaching others, helping them through their own recalibration process. Junior’s approach emphasizes the mind-shift necessary for recovery, ensuring each person can experience profound healing and regain control of their life.
Adrianne – Thriver Coach
Adrianne is an amazing coach who is also living proof that recovery from CFS is possible. After experiencing severe symptoms and being unable to participate in basic activities, Adrianne committed herself to the CFS Recovery Program. Today, she is not only back to her pre-illness activity levels but is also expanding her capabilities.
Her journey highlights the power of mindset and community support in healing. Adrianne believes that accepting help and using the right tools is key to overcoming CFS. She passionately guides others on their recovery journey, emphasizing the importance of neuroplasticity in the healing process.
Adrianne’s success story is an inspiration to those starting their recovery path and a testament to the power of determination and the right support.
Crista – Thriver Coach
Before becoming a coach, Crista was a physiotherapist with a passion for fitness, including activities like yoga, Pilates, and long-distance hiking. Her life changed dramatically when she contracted COVID-19, leading to a series of long-term symptoms, including severe fatigue, brain fog, and muscle pain—essentially a mix of both CFS and Long COVID.
Despite her professional background, Crista found herself struggling with little guidance and few answers. But through determination, extensive research, and a deep commitment to recovery, she was able to complete an 18-kilometer hike with no symptoms, a monumental achievement in her journey.
Crista’s background in physiotherapy, combined with her personal recovery experience, allows her to offer practical, empathetic coaching that focuses on rebuilding strength, resilience, and physical capacity.
Brent – Thriver Assistant Coach
Brent’s journey to recovery began after an acute case of COVID-19 in 2020. What followed were debilitating symptoms of Long COVID and CFS, including extreme fatigue, brain fog, and autonomic dysfunction. Despite consulting over 17 doctors and trying multiple treatments, his symptoms persisted.
Brent’s breakthrough came when he joined the Recovery Academy Program. Through neuroplasticity and structured support, he reduced his medications and began gradually increasing his physical activity.
Today, Brent is living proof that resilience, determination, and structured support can overcome even the toughest challenges. He now engages in physical and cognitive challenges that once seemed impossible. Brent’s story is an inspiring example of the power of holistic healing and community support in overcoming Long COVID and CFS.
