At RecaliBRAINtion®, I, practitioner Michelle offer support and hopefully relief to anyone suffering with physical, neurological, emotional or cognitive issues where doctors / ongoing tests are unable to offer up any physical, causal reason. From a 100% deep understanding of 'FND' from lived experiences of sudden & progressive symptoms from paralysis to deafness, vertigo to stuttering to name a few, over a 45 year period where life was ruined repeatedly from misdiagnosis, no diagnosis to one 'mysterious' illness/symptom/condition to another or incorrect treatment measures offered or undertaken, further impacting health, relationships, behaviours & limiting social interactions & at worst points facing suicide. This patient experience, along with professional healthcare experience over 18 years working on and off in the UK healthcare sector undertaking detailed semiological analysis over decades on myself and thousands of patients I had cared for, I discovered patterns. Symptoms correlating life events & symptoms & understood that many 'higher up' colleagues like consultants, doctors and nurses, in the healthcare system were in the dark; psychologists were missing the point with limited understanding of the brain circuitry role in health & classic medics dismissive unless obvious physical abnormalities discovered during testing patients. I was onto something...  During a more recent 'episode' in 2019, I endured varied symptoms, all dismissed by the medical world after tests over 9 months across 5 clinics, specialist and hospitals, from 24 hour heart monitors, to complex nerve testing to invasive internal examinations. These tests along with the others over previous four decades of poor health on and off offered a ray of hope however, sadly always leading to 'nothing' - antibiotics, surgery or rest as treatment option. The life-limiting symptom control I had built up over the years was lessening. Working in various roles and finally leaving the UK healthcare system in 2010 after a successful on and off career of 18 years due to numerous patient failings, seeing patients with ongoing, debilitating medication side effects, addicts with no solutions and increasing numbers of people with depression, anxiety or chronic pain amongst other issues. The medical model and talk therapy models have been positively life changing for many over the centuries but there was something missing, leaving many in limbo, like me, a state of ongoing poor health, medical issues coming and going. I managed to lessen the severity of symptoms via diet, mindfulness, breath work, sleep, exercise, spending time with people, letting go of things out of my control and forgiveness amongst other factors. The very things that are now being seen to support wellness on a physiological level positively affecting the nervous system and neurogenesis (new cell growth). This journey led me to living a decent life with semi- controllable symptoms. Undiagnosed complex PTSD symptoms further exacerbated from a relentless onslaught of further traumas ranging from stalkers, to identity theft, sexual assault to having to move home 3 times in 2 years whilst being self employed & grieving yet another lost sibling. I like, many turned to friends and online for answers. My symptoms were consistent with FND, Complex PTS, Autism, Auto-Immune Illnesses, Bi-Polar, ADHD and more. The medical world at present unable or unwilling to accept brain circuitry, over and under arousal as causes for dysregulated nervous systems resulting in cognitive, physical, pain, neurological and motor, immunity, sleep and attentional issues.  In 2022 NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback® was the vital key addressing this array of disabling neurological, physical, behavioural, cognitive, motor and mental health symptoms that led me to be living in survival mode or self isolation in fear with most of my life. The neurofeedback brain system, NOT a new system, but one not well known in healthcare as the pharmaceutical industry dominates was lifesaving. Brain wave & circuitry dysregulation has been suggested by an increasing number of world leading trauma and performance coaches, psychiatrists and neurologists as a reason for FND. Traumas and the daily onslaught of life that we all experience, especially after losing a loved one from death or even placement in boarding school (boarding school syndrome) impacting the whole body. Symptoms are shared across other conditions/illnesses where patients, including myself have been diagnosed with anything from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to Autism. After 23 sessions, full recovery, rather than being 'in remission' is the result along with the five months of non-invasive dynamical brainwave training & coaching for my 'new identity' With vast experience of caring for/working with thousands of sufferers in both clinical & non clinical settings over 20 years in the UK & internationally and a business consultancy background, has led to the creation of the RecaliBRAINtion® clinic offering compassionate listening & NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback® neuromodulation allowing better communication between brain structures, from the fear based amygdala to the decision making pre frontal cortex to name but a few, allowing for a more resilient brain and body in the face of old and new internal or external issues causing physical, neurological, emotional, behavioural, attentional, pain and cognitive ill health. In the end the diagnostic labels of 'this illness' or 'that condition' were not of importance as Neurofeedback works on the brains circuitry (non invasive) allowing for effective cross-communication across all areas, resolving over and under arousal as a lasting and permanent solution where some of the most severe symptoms are no longer present instead leaving space for a whole new identity or calm and peace.
