Welcome To The Blog!

Hello friends! I am so excited you’re here. Whether it’s to hear about my brain healing journey, learn how to rewire your own brain, or even to just learn what the heck re-wiring is, you’re in the right place!

A little background on me:

I am a 25 year old engineer with a passion for neuroscience and technology – something spectacular is possible when the two unite! Growing up, the movement of coasters and animatronics fascinated me. A little programming and smooth movement, and I could easily forget I was in a make believe world to begin with. Robots felt as real as me, and on a coaster I could experience forces and speed that sent adrenaline coursing through my veins. I was obsessed with immersive tech and its ability to take me places I’d never been and captivate my mind for hours on end. This is the power of technology — to help us (or our brains rather) experience new things and enhance the experience of the old. Any technology you interact with will affect your brain in some manner — so imagine what’s possible when that tech is designed to enhance your cognitive functioning ;) That is exactly the kind of technology I am working on/promoting: software that facilitates holistic wellness, devices that aid in natural healing founded in neuroscience, and immersive experiences that are inclusive and personalized for everyone.

I became passionate about holistic wellness after dealing with my own health battle. My health problems began at 18 and lasted 7 years. This month is actually the first that I have felt “normal” again… but of course I must explain what that means! In highschool I was extremely athletic, playing tennis, running, dancing and swimming. Never having had a problem before, I was surprised when I suddenly found myself hyperventilating on the tennis court and in the middle of the pool. Soon I was out of breath simply moving from one room to the next. I would have days where I couldn’t leave bed without feeling as though the world was spinning around me.

I got my first diagnosis in 2021: POTS. EDS, Narcolpesy and FND soon followed. Three of these conditions heavily affect neurological functioning, and I was having a really hard time. I was told for years I would never get better, and these conditions are chronic. I would just have to adpat.

Well, if you know me, I am a very determined / stubborn person. I refused to stop until I got back to the old me; I just knew it had to be possible. And here I am, starting this blog because I didn’t give up. I learned a lot in those years of searching, and I want the health system to change for others. It Needs to change. Healthcare needs to be personalized and easily accessible for all, and so does education on brain optimization and natural healing!

Whether you are experiencing a chronic illness or brain disorder, know someone who is, suspect you are experiencing abnormal functioning or you just want to know more about optimizing your brain in general, this blog is for you. I am so excited to help You help your brain!
