Last week, I met with my mentor Chris Saade to discuss and brainstorm my larger message as a clinician and teacher – to discover my individual authenticity.

I have an important message that perfectly represents the blend of my personal life, my family life, my professional training as a Doctor of Physical Therapy as well as the insights and discoveries I have gained through years of clinical experience and teaching.

All the twists and turns of my professional career as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, my love for teaching, my insatiable curiosity for learning and my health challenges have lead me to a place where I have become a patient advocate, working on behalf of others like me.

Chris calls this ripening process – individual authenticity.

 

After meeting with Chris a few times, I am clear that the purpose of my work is:

  • Teaching, writing and speaking out on behalf of people with dizziness, vertigo, imbalance and unexplained repeated fall
  • Rescuing misunderstood and mismanaged dizzy patients
  • Advocating for public awareness of undiagnosed vestibular problems in older adults with chronic falls and the importance of screening the inner ear for all older adults
  • Writing and playing music that generates hope and peace

If the purpose of my work is in alignment with your needs and interests, please join my mailing list so I can keep you informed of what I am creating to share with you and those you love.

Gratitude to my Mentor and Friend:
