We are seeing seizures

Dedicated to creating an information hub, Seeing Seizures was created out of lack of visibility and knowledge surrounding epilepsy and seizures. 18 years as an epilepsy warrior, Laura Greenwald has poured her heart and soul into creating a platform where those who’ve had lifelong epilepsy, newly diagnosed, caretakers, and those never affected are given the tools and knowledge to understand epilepsy and live a limitless life—regardless of diagnosis.

About the Founder:

Laura Greenwald

Through her experiences, Laura noticed a gap between how epilepsy is commonly understood and how it’s actually lived. This realization led to the creation of Seeing Seizures, an initiative focused on making epilepsy more visible through storytelling, education, and community engagement.
