We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
We continue to strive to uncover methods of recovery enhancement and functional restoration within the nervous system, but we feel current technology for brain mapping is still rudimentary when attempting to address complex processes, such as self-awareness! Also, Cognitive fitness has not reached critical mass acceptance in our culture, and many patients are left with only had choices such as taking narcotics or dealing with the hardest moments of their journey on their own without support. Services such as those offered at Neurpvella are not covered by insurances in most circumstances.
We’d love to hear more about your business.

What were you like growing up?
As a kid, I was always curious about what makes us socially engaging. I was shy in my early childhood, and it wasn’t until high school that I became more outgoing. Always curious on how people’s personalities enhanced their job function such as a coach, an athlete or a teacher; and as I got older this became an interest in bodily exercise and its effect on mental focus. I was infatuated with styles of movement in surfing champions for example. Throughout medical school, I began trying to optimize my body energy to enhance learning and stay fit. This continued throughout residency and continues to this day. Recovery from athletic injuries was also a major part of my life. Having participated in multiple triathlons and having sustained injuries in surfing and skating, I had to learn to manage pain without medications because of daily duties.
