Amy - Vestibular Migraine
Listen now
Description
This week I am talking with Amy about her journey with vestibular migraine which began when she was a young girl and became chronic 5 years ago. She has been a personal trainer for over 12 years and feels that continuing her fitness journey helped keep her symptoms under control. She also believes having perseverance to find the right doctor and counselor (cognitive behavioral therapist) is important in everyone's healing journey.  She feels seeing her on a weekly basis helped relieve a lot of her life stressors and aiding in being a big turning point in her life.  She believes living her life differently than she did 5 years ago, has been incredibly positive. Earlier this year she opened up her online coaching services to anyone with migraine, this is so exciting and the fact she understands what we go through can be huge for those wanting to get in the best shape of their lives while living with this condition!  If you would like more information on vestibular disorder's please visit  VeDA (Vestibular Disorders Association). 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 Amy, please find her on Instagram or her website www.Shockettfitness.com If you would like to connect with myself Heather Davies, please feel free to reach out to me via email [email protected] or find me on Instagram.  If you or someone you know has an inspiring vestibular journey I would love to speak with them, please direct message me and lets connect!  Thank you so much for being here.
