Caring For You

My care is:

Compassionate — grounded in empathy, emotional safety, and respect for each individual’s journey.
Comprehensive — addressing the root causes rather than masking symptoms.
Collaborative — partnering with families to build clarity, confidence, and long-term neurological resilience.

I believe deeply in the brain’s capacity for change. Neuroplasticity is not just a scientific principle—it is hope backed by evidence. With the right evaluation and targeted interventions, children and adults can develop stronger, more efficient neural pathways that improve learning, behavior, emotional regulation, and overall function.

At LifeMind Functional Neurology, my mission is to make development feel less overwhelming for families and to ensure no child grows up feeling misunderstood the way I did. Every patient deserves to be seen, supported, and guided with both scientific precision and compassionate care.

Together, we strengthen the brain.
Together, we support the whole person.
Together, we Connect and Thrive.

LifeMind Functional Neurology

Dr. Karen Borman is a board-certified chiropractor and functional neurologist certified in The Melillo Method, and the founder of LifeMind Functional Neurology in Boulder, Colorado. Her practice is dedicated to helping children and adults at every stage of life -- from those facing developmental and learning challenges to adults navigating age-related cognitive and neurological conditions such as memory loss, cognitive decline, and dementia -- by identifying and addressing the root neurological imbalances that stand in their way.

With over two decades of experience, Dr. Borman combines chiropractic care, brain-based therapies, and sensory-motor integration to restore health, balance, and function through a drug-free, holistic approach. Her passion lies in giving families something many thought they’d lost: hope.

At Life Mind, every program is grounded in the Melillo Method, which targets the root cause of challenges—Functional Disconnection Syndrome (FDS)—an imbalance in communication between the brain’s hemispheres. Using sensory-motor exercises, cognitive training, and nutritional guidance, Dr. Borman helps reestablish hemispheric balance and improve daily function.

Parents who come to Life Mind are often exhausted and searching for lasting answers. Dr. Borman offers a compassionate, science-based path forward—helping families move from frustration to transformation.

Life Mind Functional Neurology reflects the city’s holistic spirit and commitment to growth. Dr. Karen’s mission is simple: to help every child and adult unlock their potential so they can Connect &Thrive.
