Early “QUEST”IONS

I grew up on a farm, which means I learned early that work doesn’t wait. When something broke, you figured it out. When help was needed, you showed up. You learned by doing not by asking how. That ability to figure things out on the fly shaped the way I approach everything in my life and my work today.

When I wasn’t on the farm, I was on the pool deck with the Nanaimo White Rapids Swim Club. Swim club wasn’t just sunshine, it was early mornings, hell weeks, and goals that demanded grit. But it was also fun, laughter, and belonging. The farm taught me discipline and responsibility. The pool taught me confidence and connection. Together, they gave me a foundation I still lean on work hard, care deeply, and always leave room for fun.

School however was a different story. While my peers picked things up easily, I’d find myself rereading the same line over and over, trying to make sense of it. My brain thought in patterns and meaning but the school system I grew up in rewarded memorization and speed.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t learn; it was that I learned differently. I thrived on depth, movement, and curiosity. I needed to experience ideas, not just memorize them. I felt like I was playing someone else’s game and trying to learn in a way that didn’t fit how my brain explored and understood the world. For me, understanding comes from depth. The more I feel, the more I know. That truth became the foundation for everything that followed.

Curiously Coordinated began as a rebuild, born from farm grit, poolside adventures, and a restless curiosity that kept searching for the signal beneath the noise.

I’m Dr. Tiff FlynnLocke — a clinician, educator, and systems thinker re-imagining how humans learn, heal, and lead. My work bridges neuroscience, movement, and leadership to translate complexity into clarity helping people, teams, and communities rebuild from the inside out.

Becoming the Practitioner

As a clinician, I’ve always been searching not for quick fixes, but for the moments that create real change. What helps someone move from being stuck in pain or trauma to reclaiming their body, their confidence, and their sense of self?

That search became my calling.

I earned a bachelor’s in psychology and a Doctorate in Chiropractic, combining the study of human behavior, anatomy, biomechanics, neuroscience, and human movement to understand how the body and brain communicate and what happens when they fall out of sync.

One of the biggest lessons of my career?
People deserve to be listened to. They deserve an ally who stays curious enough to ask, what’s really going to help this person thrive? That belief shapes everything I do. My role  as a clinician isn’t to impose a single method; it’s to help people find the approach, the system, or the team that meets them where they are  and to walk beside them until they move forward with confidence.

Over time, I became a dedicated clinician and educator, known for blending curiosity with clinical precision. My drive to understand deeply took me into advanced, interdisciplinary training:

• Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) & Functional Range Assessment (FRA)

• Functional Range Release (FR)– Full Body (Upper Limb, Lower Limb, Spine)

• Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS Level A)

• Advanced TMJ & Orofacial Rehabilitation

• Concussion and Vestibular Rehabilitation (Intro + Advanced)

• Clinical Neurodynamics (Michael Shacklock)

• Visual Rehabilitation – Advanced Training

• APT Workshop – Advanced Neck Pain Practitioner

• Patterns of Pain & Low Back Spinal Triage

• Movement and Embodiment Training with Rafe Kelley through Evolve Move Play

Each mentorship and experience became part of a larger map helping me turn complexity into clarity for the people I worked with. Over time, that same curiosity turned inward. As clinicians, we’re often so focused on caring for others that we forget to care for ourselves. I learned the hard way that you can’t pour from an empty cup. That realization became a turning point: I began to ask what that meant for me.  What would it look like if I applied the same principles I teach every day to my own life? That question marked the start of my personal rebuild and deepened my commitment to helping others do the same.

The QUEST  

In my mid-30s, the answer began to take shape. With the help of trusted clinicians, I was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive type), Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Binocular Vision Dysfunction.The relief was immediate. The “difference” I had spent my whole life working to hide wasn’t a flaw. It was an new understanding that my brain simply worked on a different rhythm. Once I understood that, everything I’d learned about neuroplasticity, regulation, and awareness finally clicked.

From that realization, Curiously Coordinated was born.

Curiously Coordinated is my quest my way of helping and inspiring others to seek their own understanding, rebuild trust with their bodies, and discover the creative intelligence that lives within them.

My purpose is to translate that internal wiring the invisible architecture of nervous systems, movement, regulation, and awareness into practical skills, knowledge, and tools that people can use to connect body and brain in real life.

I’ve spent years mapping what gets lost in the spaces between medicine, movement, education, leadership, and lived experience. Now, I stand as both student and teacher grounded in clinical practice, driven by curiosity, and fuelled by a passion for learning. I don’t come from a place of claiming answers; I come from a place of asking better questions.

Curiously Coordinated is an ongoing journey an open invitation to the thinkers, clinicians, and creators ready to rebuild a world that learns differently.

Because the next generation of change won’t be led by a single expert it’ll be sparked by teams. Teams that listen to each other. Teams that question and collaborate. Teams that make leadership, learning, and knowledge everyone’s game.

That’s the vision behind Curiously Coordinated: to help people reconnect with curiosity, coordination, and collective purpose so that together, we can create a better world starting from the inside out.
