Balanced Brain

Happy 2nd birthday to my third baby, Balanced Brain ?? Time flies when you’re building something you feel passionate about. Much of the last year, I spent reflecting on how best to continue to serve my clients & community. Studying 2 years of client data, many convos w mentors, & good ol’ intuition - I have more clarity - we must address all aspects of the beautiful interconnected system of the brain & body. Healing & peak performance depends on many factors & often requires multimodal interventions & healing practices. This year, BB will be focusing on continuing to integrate and expand our offerings to address the complex needs of brain health to help individuals feel and function at their best. The greatest part of this growth period, is growing our community. I feel honored and privileged that my dear friends and colleagues believe in the vision of Balanced Brain and are helping to bring it to life. I’ve known Carrie Shklov LCSW from my infancy of my career, when I was an eager new NP building out a primary care team for homeless veterans and struggling to reconcile & process the amt of human suffering and deaths I was seeing. Belkys Fiame, FNP, PMHNP & neurotherapist, and I started our neurofeedback journey together in 2018 — from research to clinical care, all the while both navigating learning the skills of program management in an large govt organization. Mina O’Reilly, Executive Assistant, joined BB as our first w2 employee in April, trusting the vision and quickly taking on parts of operations, which facilitates BBs to continued growth. Jason Pirga, MD ABIM, is expanding his knowledge & skills in Functional Medicine bc we recognize physical health is brain health, and we must address root causes of physical illness. Also, a great life partner, supporting my growth as a person, navigating the depths of human connection. Photos by amazing friend, Leigh & Grace Studio by Amber Abinsay. Thank you all.
