Description
This week I am talking with Kate about her vestibular journey with an acoustic neuroma, also known as a vestibular schwannoma. Katie lives in North Carolina with her family, where she is kindergarten teacher. She hopes one day to follow her passion of becoming a certified language therapist and stepping into her dream as a reading interventionist. She is still learning to balance her dizziness and exhaustion with amazing support from her church, circle of friends and family. If you would like more information on vestibular disorder's please find the link to   VeDA (Vestibular Disorders Association) in the show notes.  Here you will find more information on balance disorders, diagnosis, treatment, medical professionals, support groups, even a new patient tool kit and so much more.  It has been an amazing resource. If you would like to connect with Katie or myself Heather Davies, please feel free to reach out to me via email [email protected] or find me on Instagram.  Have an amazing week warriors!
