From Vision Therapy Mom to Patient: Diane Krebs on Brain Balance and Recovery

In this episode, Denise speaks with writer and architect Diane Krebs, whom she met at a writing retreat in Pennsylvania, about two very different experiences with vision therapy—first as a parent, and later as a patient herself.Diane shares how her young son benefited from active vision therapy to address reading difficulties, coordination challenges, and sensory overload—long before vision therapy was widely discussed. Years later, Diane found herself seeking care after long COVID symptoms and imaging revealed evidence of multiple traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). That journey led her into passive, lens-based vision therapy, along with craniosacral work.Diane reflects on how these approaches supported not only visual and brain balance, but also emotional resilience, confidence, and clearer boundaries in daily life. This episode highlights how vision therapy can look very different depending on the person—and why healing is often a whole-body process.Resources mentioned: Craniosacral therapy, Bal-A-Vis-X, passive vision therapy (therapuetic lenses, syntonics).Diane's doctor is Dr. Amy Thomas at Arizona Vision Therapy Center: https://www.azvisiontherapy.com/Connect with Denise Allen:Website: https://healingmysight.comHealing our Sight Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063570817348If you liked this episode, click here to send me a message.
