Did you know? Research shows that when patients receive a clear, compassionate explanation of their diagnosis, they’re more likely to engage in their care—and recover more fully.

When we understand why something is happening, it can turn fear into clarity, and uncertainty into action.

Has a health professional ever explained something to you in a way that truly made a difference? Tell us your story—it might help someone else today.

Patient Testimonial: "She has taught me to pay attention to my body. She has taught me how to keep breathing when I start feeling stressed. She has taught me to be kind to myself."

At Boulder Center for NeuroHealth, we walk alongside our clients as they learn to listen to their bodies, stay calm in stressful moments, and treat themselves with kindness. Healing takes time, but with support, trust, and compassion, change is possible. 💙

Recovery from Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) isn’t just about the brain—it’s about the whole nervous system.

Body-based therapies, like gentle movement, breathwork, and sensory tools, help the brain and body work together again. These approaches, informed by somatic work and polyvagal theory, can support nervous system regulation and make everyday life feel more balanced and manageable.

Research shows that when we care for the nervous system, we create a strong foundation for healing. [Sources: Dana, 2021; Pick et al., 2022]

Since COVID, rates of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) in children and teens have been climbing—prompting more focus than ever on pediatric cases.

According to research, FND accounts for 2–4% of pediatric neurology referrals and up to 10–20% of neurology visits in children’s hospitals. Most cases occur in adolescents with the median age ~13.

The good news:
Research led by Dr. Kasia Kozlowska shows that early, integrated care works. With mind–body interventions that address both the brain and the nervous system, many kids and teens see symptoms improve—or even resolve—especially when support includes families, schools, and therapists working together.

At Boulder Center for NeuroHealth, we provide this kind of early, holistic support, giving young people the best chance at recovery and helping them get back to the activities they love.

At Boulder Center, we support kids, teens, and adults diagnosed with FND. Our interdisciplinary team is trained to work with each stage of life, adapting care to meet unique needs.

Pediatric FND requires a gentle and empowering approach—something we specialize in. By supporting the whole family, we help create a path toward understanding, healing, and resilience.

At Boulder Center for NeuroHealth, healing isn’t just something you talk about—it’s something you feel.

Our sessions often include movement, breathwork, and sensory awareness to support nervous system regulation and a deeper sense of safety in the body. We help clients reconnect with themselves in a way that goes beyond traditional talk therapy.

Because true healing is embodied.

Stress and Trauma Are Common—But Not Universal

Up to 70% of people with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) report a history of trauma. But trauma isn’t the only factor.

FND can arise from a combination of influences, including:
A sensitive or reactive nervous system
Chronic stress or life changes
Physical illness or injury

This reflects the complex, multifactorial nature of FND—and underscores the need for personalized, compassionate care.

Why Do People Develop FND?
FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) doesn’t have a single cause—it's a complex condition with many contributing factors. Here’s a breakdown:

Underlying Factors: These are present before symptoms start, like genetics, chronic illness (MS, Parkinson’s), trauma history, or a sensitive nervous system.

Triggering Factors: Life stress, illness, injury, or sudden overwhelming events that trigger symptoms.

Maintaining Factors: Once symptoms start, anxiety, stigma, isolation, or lack of support can keep them going longer.

FND is a biopsychosocial condition, meaning it’s shaped by:
🧬 Biological: Genetic or neurological sensitivities
🧠 Psychological: How we process stress, worry, or trauma
🌍 Social: Our environments, relationships, and support systems

FND symptoms are real physical responses from a nervous system in distress. Understanding these factors helps us support one another and raise awareness. 💙
