The Nerve Whisperer, Clinical Consultant, Vision And Nervous System Expert
CurrentToday, I travel, write, speak, teach and coach on a regular basis helping people improve their vision both literal eye health and inner vision and perception. In my 20's, I was diagnosed with Keratoconus, a genetic condition of the eye where the cornea thins. Today, at 53, I have better vision than when I turned 40, probably better vision than when I was 12 and started wearing glasses. For about 10 years through my 40's and early 50's, I was the Clinical Director of VisionIMT at the Center for Integrative Manual Therapy and Diagnostics, a large multi-disciplinary clinic in Bloomfield, CT. I often say, I was the director of vision services because no one could tell me it didn't work. My PhD dissertation was on using manual therapy to successfully support people with Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, Autism and other neurological conditions.. Light sensitivity is one of the typical symptoms of Keratoconus. Today, my friends often reach for their sunglasses before I even think about where mine are. I also had severe migraines five or six times a year, weather related. I have had one in the last 10 years. Today my goal is to continue to create healing for myself, my vision, my nervous system and overall well being as well as healing and recovery for my clients, I have used a combination of hands-on therapies (Integrative Manual Therapy, Osteopathic Manual Medicine, Acupressure), Energy Medicine (Matrix Energetics, Manual Pattern Recognition, Reiki, Visualization, Manual Fractal Therapy), Functional Approaches (Wisdom Healing Qigong, Meridian Tapping Techniques, Emotional Freedom Technique) and Eye Exercises (developed by Meir Schneider, MT and Abe Shapiro, Optometrists), Nutrition and Homeopathy.
