On July 18, 2018, I had a bike accident that caused a traumatic brain injury. It changed my life.
to live with chronic pain, migraines, vertigo, brain fog, fatigue, light & noise sensitivity…
… and how hard it is to navigate the healthcare system to get the help you need.
It is a very lonely place to be.
I created these educational programs to increase access to information and help you:
√ Understand what happened to your brain
√ Practice techniques based in Yoga to help you calm your Nervous System and foster Neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to change and heal)
√ Connect with others who share the common experience of living with persistent post-concussion symptoms
My goal is to help you live BETTER post-concussion!
