In September 2017, life as I knew it changed forever. During a night out with friends on a Saturday evening, I believe I had my drink spiked and was incredibly unwell. Just a few days later was when the dizziness started. As I went for a walk on my lunch break at work with colleagues I suddenly came over lightheaded, dizzy and faint. It was an intense feeling I had never felt before and was left feeling shaky, woozy and “off” for a few hours and then returned to feeling normal again. The next day the same thing happened again; an overpowering dizziness came over me and i felt faint, but after a few hours it would resolve. Over the following weeks and months these dizzy spells continued to happen but eventually, instead of returning to feeling normal I was left with residual, ongoing, persistent dizziness. This naturally caused a lot of anxiety, confusion, worry and panic and I spent the next two years visiting multiple Doctors, Neurologists, Physios, Vestibular Therapists and ENTs; none of which who could explain what was going on as all of my medical tests came back clear and i was not responding to physical therapy (VRT). I finally received a diagnosis of PPPD and FND and was offered SSRI’s which I chose not to take. I had no other support and was made to feel as though I was an anomaly and the only one in the world dealing with these chronic dizziness symptoms. I felt complete and utter devastation and hopelessness. Id tried acupuncture, reflexology, massage, supplements, dietary changes and CBD oil, as well as pushing through my symptoms, trying not to think of them and living as normal a life as I possibly could but all with no measurable improvements and if anything, my dizziness and anxiety were getting worse. Eventually, I came across a book about Neuroplasticity and started learning how I could retrain my brain and how I could use this to help myself recover from the dizziness and to learn how to feel safe and steady in my body again. Slowly but surely I started to see small improvements in my symptoms which encouraged and inspired me to want to learn more about Neuroplasticity, self healing and my nervous system, which was now playing a significant role in my PPPD. I went from obsessing about my symptoms to obsessing about what I could do to get better. I read lots of books and made a project of myself, doing all of the emotional work, focusing on reducing my fear of symptoms, developing a better relationship with myself and becoming more in tune with my body sensations, thoughts and emotions. I started doing mindfulness based daily practices at home and gradually increasing my window of tolerance in environments and situations that triggered my symptoms. Through applying the principles of Neuroplasticity, I was eventually able to overcome my chronic dizziness symptoms and return to feeling normal again, something I thought would have never been possible to achieve. Fast forward to 2025 and I have spent the last 4 years helping hundreds of other people worldwide to improve and in lots of cases fully recover from their chronic dizziness symptoms too. I truly believe that healing is possible for everyone. You do not need to live a life in fear, struggling with persistent feelings of dizziness. It is totally possible to rewire your brain to filter out dizzy sensations so you can feel comfortable and at ease in your body again. I was tested physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually in order to get to where I am today but i am living proof that healing is possible and am now dedicating my time to help others do the same.
