Hey, Vestibular Warrior. I'm so glad that you're here. I'm Em, fellow Vestibular Warrior, Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Health Advocate for Vestibular Warriors. I could not have predicted how a vestibular condition (vestibular neuritis, vestibular migraines and PPPD) would interject itself into my life and test my mental strength, pushing my edge at every turn. Until I was stuck living and breathing it every moment, I never could have understood what it felt like. I felt like I was trapped in an ungrounded body yet disconnected from it at the same time, mentally drained, scared, sad, determined to find my way out but defeated all at once. Fast forward to the present moment, over four years later, and I am beyond grateful to be in a grounded state having recovered my health and wellness.
If you are someone lost in a vestibular something, migraine abyss or other health crisis, my heart goes out to you. Please know that you are not alone on the trail and there is a community of people fighting to take back their health and live an abundant life. You may have had moments when you felt so out of control of what was happening to your mind and body that you felt entirely powerless. However, what I hope that you’ve discovered is that you are not defenseless. You are magnificent. I know this because just the fact that we're connecting means you care big. I believe that there is a world of opportunity to support our health and I will continue to explore and learn, and I hope that you’ll join me. My wish is that your soul is ignited to campaign for your health as you navigate the bumpy trail, because you are helping not only yourself but so many others along the way.

Hey Vestibular Warrior.
I’m going to assume that there’s a chance that you've found this space in the universe because you too are journeying with a vestibular something. Maybe it’s vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, vestibular migraines, cervicogenic dizziness, persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), vertigo, migraine dizziness, derealization… or maybe you’re just struggling with symptoms and you don’t have a clear diagnosis, but you’ve got ideas based on your own research. That was me...for a while. Regardless of what guided you here, I hope the resources that I've created ignite a fire within you to advocate and create your glowing wellness- even with a vestibular something.
Halloween 2016 was a normal day that became the day that changed my life. My diagnosis includes vestibular neuritis + vestibular migraines (which I consider to be just a label) and my vestibular migraine treatment involved the Migraine Vegan Diet (emphasis on whole foods) and beautiful holistic support with a splash of western medicine. My mission has always been to heal from the inside out and uncover my bliss every step of the way.
It's been three years since it all hit and I am beyond grateful to be in a grounded state. Most days I feel fantastic with no symptoms. I thank the universe for the opportunity to come through the darkness and share my story.
In December 2019, I published my book Uncovering Bliss: A Journey with a Vestibular Condition and Beyond. I expose the the mind and body experience that took place when I was in the darkness, my journey through healing, experiences with doctors, the things that helped me along the way, and how following the light within me became my guide. You can purchase my book here and I so appreciate your support.
We all have those life-changing days, but when it comes to a vestibular condition, I think that many of us can pinpoint the day, and probably even the hour, that everything changed and there are big feelings associated with those moments. I'm thankful to connect with you and I know that there are so many vestibular warriors out there striving for vibrant health- with a vestibular condition and beyond. Let's travel the trail together.

I'll always remember the day that it hit. It has midday that I was hit with a vestibular condition seemingly out-of-nowhere, but I wouldn't understand what that even meant for many months later. In short, it flipped my world upside down. I went from feeling in control to losing my sense of self in the world, quite literally. Feeling off kilter, like I was living on a moving dock, looking at my life from the outside, anxiety coursing through my system, were a few of the symptoms that consumed my days. No breaks- my symptoms were every second of every day. I had no warning that this condition would hit and certainly wasn’t prepared for it.
I had experienced a cold/ear infection the week prior, but didn’t think anything of it. I expected my body to heal and I would be just fine. I never could have predicted what happened next. I was sitting at my computer at work and everything just shifted in an instant. I felt sideways, off kilter, dizzy and I couldn’t focus on the words on my computer screen. I stumbled across the office to find my friend and tell her what was happening.
There are no easy words to describe the onset of a vestibular something (in my case vestibular neuritis which triggered vestibular migraines, which I’d find out over a year down the road). The thing is I never would have understood it, until I was sinking deep in it.
In the darkest moments, I held tight onto potential for improvement + gratitude for all the good in my life. I ate a plant-based diet to fuel, support + help my body heal every single day. I used pure essential oils to support my healing and work through the many all-consuming symptoms, both physical and emotional. I worked with a holistic doctor and neurologist (eventually) and around two-years in, with persistence and hope, I started to truly feel like myself again.
All I had longed for throughout the battle with the vestibular stuff was to feel like myself. I knew I was still there deep within, but my physical well-being had been so hurt (it felt destroyed) and my heart wounded, and it would take a fight to come through. I uncovered my relentless drive to push forward, my heart to help others and inspire a perspective of gratitude, and my passion to unfold how this experience would shape my life.
Please feel free to reach out. Sending good vibes your way!
