Dealing with a neurological movement disorder, Myoclonus Dystonia since childhood, I finally received a life-saving Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. As a mom with two chronically ill children, I became an expert researcher and advocate for those with chronic illnesses. Having a background in the medical field, teaching and alternative healing, I was able to utilize these skills to aid in diagnosing the rare disorders of my daughters.
