Redefining recovery — inside and out.
MY STORY
Former national-level football athlete turned brain health founder.
After experiencing long-term recovery following COVID and traumatic brain injury, Rianne Schorel co-founded Move The Brain a recovery-focused initiative working at the intersection of lived experience, neurorehabilitation and brain-health innovation.
Today, Move The Brain supports recovery pathways for individuals affected by invisible brain injury and related neurological challenges across Switzerland and the Netherlands.
