Sarah's Story

Meet Sarah: A Journey to Transformation Before coming to Arise Functional Health, Sarah was struggling sensory sensitivities, attention difficulties, feeling her body, and was stuck in fight or flight. Their fear of new environments, inattentiveness, and lack of feeling her body was impacting their social interactions, ability to learn, ability to speak and not allowing the family to have friends over or be able to go places like the grocery store, leaving their family searching for answers.    

Initial Concerns: Finding Hope When Sarah first came to us, their parents were worried about what would happen to her if anything ever happened to them, if she would be able to communicate her needs, and if she would be able to ever go places without sensory overload. They had already tried speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA therapy, but progress was limited. They were looking for a more comprehensive solution that addressed the root causes of their child’s challenges.  

The Arise Functional Health Difference  At Arise Functional Health, we took a holistic and individualized approach to Sarah's care. Through our unique combination of: 

• Functional Neurology Exercises: Targeting underdeveloped areas of the brain to improve her focus, sensory processing, feeling her body and help her express herself. 
• Primitive Reflex Integration: Resolving lingering reflexes to enhance emotional regulation, set a solid foundation for communication and feeling one with her body. 
• Sensory-Motor Activities: Strengthening the brain-body connection for better coordination and balance. 
• Chiropractic Care: Supporting the nervous system for optimal communication between the brain and body. 
• Nutrition Guidance: Addressing underlying dietary factors affecting brain health and behavior.   

A New Chapter: Remarkable Results  After just 6 months of consistent care, Sarah began to experience noticeable improvements. Their ability to regulate emotions, communicate and venture into new environments has transformed not only their daily life but also the dynamic of their family.   

Some of the key changes included: 

• Out of Fight or Flight
• able to go into new places and crowded places without sensory overload
• Improved communication
• able to communicate needs and producing speech
• Starting to form friendships and socialize with others    

Life-Changing Impact Today, Sarah is thriving.

The entire family feels the impact of these changes, with a sense of hope and excitement for the future.
