| Kim is passionate about helping individuals—and those who interact with them—understand the root cause of dysfunction, so attention can be shifted from whose fault it is, to finding ways of improving function. Kim has one son who struggled with attention and learning difficulties, one son with CHARGE Syndrome, and a daughter for whom learning and “being” is relatively easy. | ||

| Becky looks outside the limitations of traditional thinking in education and nutrition. She has explored other reasons, causes, and entry points into the stressors that confront adults and children, particularly in academics and behavior. She is an Elementary School teacher and Holistic Health Counselor (through the Association of Drugless Practitioners), serving the New York Metropolitan Area and the Hudson Valley. The HANDLE approach was the missing link that reveals the origin of her students’ struggles. | ||
