Real Transformations

At Dizzy Resolve, we're proud of the life-changing results our clients achieve. Here are some inspiring stories from individuals who have overcome persistent dizziness and reclaimed their lives through THE SHIFT program.

“I have changed from being scared., thinking something else was wrong with me, every time I got dizzy, I would feel like I wanted to panic. After THE SHIFT, the amazing weeks have given me my confidence back, they have eradicated my fear of something else being wrong with me, that this will never go away, that I won’t be able to go for a run again, that I won’t be able to look after my kids. Having those small wins throughout the process has given me the biggest confidence. Modern medicine, doctors, everyone who saw me kept instilling fear in me and doubt. Vicky kept instilling positive vibes and confidence and kept me going and I’m so glad I did. What I’ve gained from the wins has been pheromonal and I’ve changed so much as a person.”

Dana, THE SHIFT Program Participant

"Before THE SHIFT, I was limiting myself from doing so many things, living in a small 'safe' bubble. Now, my world has opened up. I'm planning to return to the office, can visualize myself on trains, and even attend night events in heels - something I never thought possible before. The program gave me the awareness and tools to break free from the fear cycle. My symptoms have significantly reduced, and when they do occur, I don't buy into them anymore. My 9-year-old even asked, 'What happened to your dizziness?' That's how noticeable the change has been. THE SHIFT is the foundation for everything else in your recovery journey. It makes you feel heard, sane, and gives you the confidence to understand what's happening. I wish I had found this program two years ago when my dizziness first started."

Tania, THE SHIFT Program Participant

“At the peak of everything, I had to move back in with my mum, I couldn’t drive, I had to quit my job, I couldn’t even stand up long enough to cook a meal or clean the house, I completely lost most of my function and I just spend pretty much all day every day on the couch or bed crying. After THE SHIFT, life is back to normal, I’m living in my house again, I’m driving, I went to a wedding last weekend, I’ve been going out to dizziness, out for coffee, I’ve been going to see live music, so I’ve more or less got my life back.”

Abbey, THE SHIFT Program Participant

“I was diagnosed with Vestibular Neuritis in 2023, my symptoms were severe for 4-5 months of not being able to get out of bed or leave the house, I was getting better coming into the course, but still about 50% of the day I was thinking about my symptoms. Now, I am back to 90-95% back to true again. It feels pretty amazing. I have just come back from a surf which I wasn’t able to do for a few months. I highly recommend this course, go in with optimism and an open mind and wanting to change. The mind is a powerful tool if you let it and have a fantastic facilitator and program. Vicky is fantastic, she has a lot of compassion, highly knowledgeable, has put a lot of time putting this program together. If it wasn’t for the course and for Vicky I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Trav, THE SHIFT Program Participant

“It blew the doors off my expectations; I had no idea really what I was getting into. I joined THE SHIFT because my daughter encouraged me. 6 weeks later I have got fingertips that were numb from chemo and feet that are numb from treatment and all of that has come back and I have stability in my eye sight, I am able to be this new person and it’s amazing. Now, after THE SHIFT, the difference for me is this new person, I can’t believe the change, its’ pheromonal, This new person now wants to stand on the sideline and watch her grandson play soccer, and I’m going to see my granddaughter play netball, I’m going to take my grandchildren to a Taylor Swift show because this new person has nothing holding her back anymore and I have this abundant life that I never knew was able to me and I’ve 73years old.”

Lloyd's Journey to Freedom from Dizziness

"Starting on a transformative journey with Dr. Vicky Stewart at Dizzy Resolve proved pivotal in overcoming my persistent dizziness. Despite initial skepticism, Vicky's expertise in neuroplasticity led to significant improvement in just three months. Her dedication, innovative techniques, and warm demeanor create a supportive environment, making her a trusted ally for anyone grappling with
persistent dizziness. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Vicky Stewart for her transformative impact on reclaiming a life free from the constraints of dizziness."

Lloyd Feigenbaum, THE SHIFT Program Participant

(Retired Medical Officer)

“Based on scientific principals, respecting the neurophysiology, and at the same time implementing alternative approaches like Hypnosis, this is a really revolutionary way of treating a common problem, where most of the time conventional medicine has no answers. THE SHIFT helps the client get acquainted with the subconscious workings of the brain, be aware of them, and adjust their ways of reacting to his/ her's symptoms in a more conscious and controlled way, leading to their eventual abolition. Dr Vicky Stewart is really charismatic in her relationship with the clients and her goals in treating people are clearly defined and achieved. I have been impressed by the fact that dizziness of a varied kind of etiology can be addressed and cured in a program like THE SHIFT and I recommend it to every patient that has been tormented for a long time by chronic dizziness."

Dr. Eleni Gkoritsa, ENT Physician and Migrainous Patient, THE SHIFT Program Participant

“I started doing the shift program, and it's taught me so much. It's helped me a huge amount with my post-traumatic stress to the point that I think it's gone. Part of THE SHIFT that helped me the very most was where we managed to break the chain between my trauma from the past, which was extreme and my emotional response without having that in my life it’s like I’ve actually been born again. I could never ever put my finger on. Why, I was having an anxiety attack until I realized it's all caught up in my subconscious. I have been seeing psychologists for 7 years and I’ve achieved more through THE SHIFT than I have in those total 7 years, so thank-you Vicky.’

Annette, THE SHIFT Program Participant

“Before the course I felt limited in my life, wasn’t comfortable in doing anything strenuous, didn’t like to leave the house very much...and socialising was very limited, I just didn’t like being around people too much and then my head would feel like it was going to explode, and I just couldn’t wait to get home. Now, I don’t have that thinking anymore, I just do what I need to do ...my head is fine, it doesn’t feel like it’s going to explode anymore. We’ve just had a few social events or people calling in and I’ve just not even been thinking about how uncomfortable I am....My sleep improved, my mood has improved...Life is feeling really good. With Vicky's course, THE SHIFT I was so excited for every Monday, for the new lot of modules to drop in and I joined every live call that I could. It was really worthwhile.”

Heather, THE SHIFT Program Participant

“Before joining the shift. I was struggling with vestibular migraines and persistent dizziness. The dizziness was impacting my life in many ways. I wasn't exercising. I was spending more time at home than out, and I would get anxious over daily routine tasks. I'd seen specialists, doctors try Chinese acupuncture and a number of different medications. I felt like it was never going to go away. One of the most significant changes I noticed is that my dizziness isn't long lasting and passes quickly now. I've learnt how to regulate my nervous system by using techniques and identifying triggers. The shift in my mindset has allowed me to create a better normal, because it's not only benefiting me in terms of reducing my dizziness, but it also benefits me in ways that I learn how to deal with stress in my everyday life. For anyone struggling with similar issues, THE SHIFT offers you the opportunity not only to heal, but to deal with the root causes which will positively impact other areas of your life. I'm so grateful for the positive changes I've experienced and am continuing to experience because of THE SHIFT.”

Marisa, THE SHIFT Program Participant

"Before joining the shift, I had symptoms 24/7. I'd been to every specialist and had every test possible. The biggest change was I learned to be still. I could actually sit in the lounge and be still, and I hadn't had that for over 12 months.

I become aware of my thoughts and could relate to what triggers would make my dizziness worse. I was able to come off medication. I didn't need it.I reduce my anxiety by the breathing techniques. I'm able to shift my focus where I used to think about my symptoms all day, every day. I don't really think about them anymore.

The shift program was a different approach to anything I had tried. The Q&A coaching calls were the best thing for me, because we had a group of people going through the same thing.

I would recommend the shift to anyone that's had enough of the medical side of things. Have an open mind, and allow yourself to do all the activities. When I did, the shift began to happen. If you put the hard work in, you will start to see things improving.Not only have I seen the change over that 8 weeks but my friends and family have also seen the change in how I am."

Bromwyn, THE SHIFT Program Participant

"
"The minute I started listening, I could hear the professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine care...I've learned that I actually can be in control... I feel healthier, fitter, and just genuinely well. Improvement is possible. You most probably haven't found that with all the medical people you've talked to... but in THE SHIFT, you do get the changes that you really need. I have totally changed my attitude to my life... I am improving every day. Start your new life back to how you want it to be."

Karen, THE SHIFT Program Participant

"Before joining THE SHIFT, I struggled with my mindset around having Long Covid. While I didn’t experience dizziness, my main symptoms were fatigue, breathlessness, and brain fog. A typical "day" was mostly spent in bed. I did have occasional outings, like going to the shops or socializing, but I was always fearful of overdoing it, knowing that would mean several days at home to recover. Thanks to THE SHIFT, I've been able to focus on what I CAN do and gradually add more activities into my routine. One of the most significant changes I noticed was that I was able to read a book for the first time in 2½ years. (While I had been able to listen to audiobooks, brain fog had prevented me from reading!) The shift in my mindset has allowed me to focus on the potential of my future, and I’ve already noticed a slight improvement in my symptoms along with a huge improvement in my attitude. I now regularly use some of the tools I’ve learned, including short (but powerful!) meditations, positive vision statements, and breathing techniques. There are other tools I can call on when needed, and overall, I feel more equipped to handle whatever comes my way. For anyone struggling with similar issues, THE SHIFT offers a way to reprogram your subconscious mind, which can make a huge difference in your day-to-day life. I can't thank Vicky enough for her compassion, patience, and understanding. She’s no pushover, though—she knows how to get the best out of each participant. I’m truly grateful for THE SHIFT, and I’m looking forward to a brighter, healthier future."

Sandy, THE SHIFT Program Participant

"Before, I would have to go to bed for 2 hours after every vertigo attack, sometimes 2-3 times a day. Now? Never. If I feel symptoms, I just use the tools and within 10-15 minutes, they're gone. I'm 80% better in just 8-9 weeks. It's given me my life back - from avoiding everything to being able to walk, drive, and enjoy time with family again. You've got nothing to lose but your dizziness."

Robyn, THE SHIFT Program Participant

“Eight weeks ago, I couldn't stand up without getting dizzy. I wasn't allowed to leave the house, couldn't work, or take public transport. My life was severely limited. After completing THE SHIFT program, I've experienced a dramatic transformation. I've gotten a job, taken the train by myself, and can now walk my dog independently. My dizziness symptoms have significantly reduced, and I'm having fewer episodes.
Before THE SHIFT, I couldn't imagine a future without the constant fear of dizziness. Now, I can envision myself doing almost anything I want without that fear. I see myself working, going for walks, and even sitting at a computer for hours without getting dizzy.
When I first started, I was skeptical that anything would change. But THE SHIFT has truly lived up to its name. I've experienced a profound shift in my life, regaining independence and hope for the future I never thought possible."

Anonymous, THE SHIFT Program Participant

“It is only early days since finishing The Shift and I have been unwell for over 4 years. I find myself wanting to do more of the little things that I haven't been able to do very often, such as gardening, cooking and last Friday we travelled from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast to catch up with family. We had lunch at a cafe then went back to their place and I was able to have a conversation for a couple of hours.

The thing that I have noticed most is that I find myself thinking more positively about everything now and have more self-awareness of my body and when to rest instead of pushing through. I found the weekly Zoom Calls with Vicky were very supportive and I was surprised to find there were so many people with similar symptoms as me.

I have seen some positive improvement of my mindset in this short time of 9 weeks and would encourage anyone to give The Shift consideration if they are struggling with symptoms that are affecting their lifestyle."
