Years of research into what could improve his quality of life brought the revelation that if the brain could be fuelled and stimulated specifically for an individual, there was a much greater chance of that person’s brain being able to function to its optimum; and this had huge ramifications for my son – it gave Gemma hope that he could do more, and that his quality of life could be improved. There was no time to waste – and immediately set out on an amazing journey into the world of Neuroplasticity Therapies – a journey that would change my son’s life, change the quality of our family life, and change my life and career as well.

To kick off our September Podcast series we are having a phenomenal guest.  Which is: Allison Fullmer who is the owner of Sanara Yoga and Wellness in Southlake Texas.  Allison, understands the important benefits of Yoga, and Mediation in general. But, especially with a Brain Injury! "Part of my studies the past few years have been with traumatic brain injury research and the benefits that meditation and mindfulness have on them. After a traumatic brain injury, the mind and the body struggle to work together in unison like they once did. The actions the brain tells the body to do are sometimes less efficient and slower. Mindfulness and meditation can help strengthen the connection between the mind and the body. It is truly remarkable."-Allison Fullmer Owner, Founder and Instructor at: Sanara Yoga and Wellness.
