My aim is to help you heal yourself

I enjoy working with people who have vestibular impairments because it requires us to look closely at how various body systems work together. Somatosensory (touch sensation), visual (eyes) and vestibular (inner ear/brain) inputs work together to help you feel stable and secure. In adddition, we may look at the effect emotional systems contribute to sense of physical stability, as well as the known effects of nutition, sleep and exercise on the vestibular system.

Addressing the energy system through bodywork (Zero Balancing) often speeds the healing process along, while using evidence based methods of exercise progression that you carry out at home.
