This episodes conversation is with Kristy Carabello, she lives in Philadelphia with her husband, Nate, and their Cavapoo, Lucy. She was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease and Vestibular Migraine in 2017. After experiencing 8-10 debilitating vertigo episodes a month, she began tracking her activities on paper noticing trends with her triggers and episodes of vertigo. This compelled her to look for an app to assist with tracking, when she was unable to find one for vertigo, she created one!  Vertige! In this episode she shares in more detail about her new app "Vertige" which was created for those with vestibular symptoms, it even prepares reports that can be shared with practitioners, to assist develop a personal care plan. SO EXCITING!!!

Like many of us, Kristy experienced so much anxiety around her vertigo that she stopped doing many of the activities she loved. Over time she found that movement and meditation helped tremendously both physically and mentally. She is a certified yoga teacher and Reiki Master Practitioner and shares these practices with others and hopes to help more vestibular warriors bring balance back to their mind, body and soul. Kristy recently became a VeDA Ambassador and is excited to be volunteering on the Communications Committee. SO exciting!!!
