Symphony Brain Performance
201- 1450 Waddington Road, Nanaimo, BC, V9S 4V9
My family and I relocated to Nanaimo in October of 2014. My son was only 4 months old, being on maternity leave I had the opportunity to explore my return to work options. Fast Forward to May 2015 and Symphony began as just me - my massage table - and my Sorento. I started Symphony as strictly a mobile service … but I had a vision. I am THRILLED my vision is taking shape! Our clinic opened in April 2016, we have built an amazing team. As I do I am always thinking of ways to serve our clients! I learned very early in my physiotherapy career that I had a passion for neurology and movement. Since graduating from the University of British Columbia, I have taken post-graduate courses in the Bobath Concept, NDT, PWR!, Chronic Pain, IMS, Acupuncture,Vestibular Rehabilitation,Concussion (Post-Concussion) Rehab and Functional Neurology. I believe that by continuing to educate and grow individually I can offer my clients the best of my skills; which in turn, will help you reach your goals and achieve the most of your quality of life. I have experience in all aspects of the contiuum of neurological rehab - acute care (including the emergency room, acute stroke floors as well as throughout other medical floors in the hospital setting), In-Patient Rehabilitation, and in the private clinic setting. Having these experiences gives me an understanding of the journey an individual goes through when recovering from either a new injury or an exacerbation of an existing one. In addition to Symphony I began Concussion Coach - this is an online community for individuals anywhere in the world living with persistent concussion symptoms. I saw a need for education, empowerment, support, community and coaching -> which led to Concussion Coach's creation. I am honoured to have won 2017 Entrepreneur of the Year, 2018 Vancouver Island Business & Community Achievement Awards, and to be a Nominee for the RBC Women's Entrepreneur Awards.
Functional Neurology is a paradigm of care that gives the practitioner a detailed neurological lens in which to assess and treat their client. Functional Neurology is the understanding and knowledge of the brain and the nervous system ~ its networks, its connections ~ and how it all works together for your function. The assessment combines the use of clinical experience + advanced technology to gain a clear picture of how you are functioning now to then create a detailed and specific treatment plan tailored to you.
