LA 2018
In 2018, NVLife’s creator, Missy Beaver, saw 6 children aged 4-12 years old in Los Angeles. The focus was on how postural imbalances may lead to symptoms associated with ASD and by correcting posture, the symptoms reduced. The participants reported many improvements including giant leaps in non-verbal and verbal communication, sleep patterns and gastrointestinal disturbances.
