You are not alone, and none of this is your fault.

There is real hope. With the right understanding and support, your child’s brain can grow, change, and thrive in ways that may not have seemed possible. At LifeMind Functional Neurology, we walk beside you with compassion, clarity, and expert coaching—helping you make sense of what’s happening and guiding your family toward meaningful, lasting progress. You don’t have to navigate this alone. We’re here to help you and your child connect, grow, and thrive.

Dr. Karen Borman, Founder of LifeMind Functional Neurology

My path to functional neurology began long before I entered healthcare. As a child, I struggled silently with learning, reading, and processing—challenges that were misunderstood, misidentified, and often dismissed.

Despite working hard and wanting to succeed, I spent years feeling confused, overwhelmed, and “behind,” without understanding why. It wasn’t until I was 32 that I finally received a diagnosis of dyslexia—an answer that reframed my entire childhood and illuminated the importance of early, accurate, and compassionate support.

This personal experience is the foundation of my clinical purpose.

Today, as a functional neurology practitioner and board certified doctor of chiropractic, I specialize in identifying and addressing the underlying neurological imbalances that contribute to learning differences, developmental delays, focus issues, executive function challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, and immune dysregulation.

I integrate advanced neurological assessments—including primitive reflex evaluation, sensory-motor screening, and hemispheric development analysis—to create customized, non-invasive care plans that support each patient’s unique brain-body profile.

But clinical expertise alone is not enough. I understand what it feels like to be the child who is trying so hard and still struggling, and what it feels like to be the parent searching for answers. That understanding shapes my approach.
