Welcome To Beyond Functional
Everything You've Ever Done Or Experienced Is Driven
By your brain—and everything you want to achieve depends on it functioning at its best. So why not train it? My business helps you identify deficits in your nervous system and provides targeted inputs to rewire your brain, unlocking your potential for better performance, health, and growth.
Who I am
Hello, my name is Anna Gieselman, and I am a seasoned movement and wellness professional with over 20 years of experience in the healing arts. My expertise spans yoga, applied neurology, and functional movement, with a deep commitment to helping others heal and thrive.
My education in applied neurology includes comprehensive training with Z-Health, where I earned certifications in Essentials of Elite Performance, R-Phase, and Post-Concussion Rehabilitation, along with specialized courses on headaches, knee health, shoulder function, and low back pain. I completed a year-long mentorship with Next Level Neuro and hold a Neuro Somatic Intelligence certification, further expanding my knowledge of nervous system health and rehabilitation.
What to Expect
During our initial 90-minute intake session, we will conduct a series of neurological assessments, including visual and vestibular testing, physical coordination and frontal lobe tasks, and cranial nerve evaluations, to identify deficits in your unique nervous system. From there, we will pinpoint specific drills that elicit a positive response from your brain, such as reduced pain, increased strength, or improved range of motion. These positive drills will form the foundation of your personalized homework plan.
Clients who consistently do their homework and engage fully in the process see the best results. I am not here to fix you; my role is to help you identify the inputs your brain and body need to heal and function better. The effort to create meaningful change lies with you. I expect a certain level of commitment to your own well-being. If you’re ready to explore this collaborative journey, I’d love to hear from you.
