Here are the solutions you’re looking for…

What I have learned about the brain enabled me to take my daughter from brain-injured and learning-disabled to ready for business school. It also allowed me to help my private students reach higher levels of achievement than their parents and teachers ever expected. Now, I want to show you how to get the amazing results that I have been getting, because what I know about the brain has the power to transform lives and families so much for the better.

Over the years, my students consistently:
  • Advance several reading levels in a short time
  • Improve reading comprehension
  • Develop excellent vocabulary
  • Become confident writers
  • Build solid math foundations
  • Begin to love learning and find it much easier
  • Understand their own learning needs and develop a study plan with those needs in mind

​And their parents:
  • Understand the cause of their children’s learning frustrations and how to deal with them effectively
  • Know what they can do to support their children’s progress every day
  • Have fun working with their kids and recognize the genius potential coming forward
  • See the root causes of behavioral issues more clearly
  • Become their kids’ best advocates at school
  • Experience less stress about their children’s academic performance​

The truth is…
Learning is a neurological function.

Brain Beneficial Movement...

Means getting a full range of motion and sensory input from the ground so that the central nervous system can develop good proprioception, muscle tone, and coordination.  Children (and adults too) need lightweight, flexible footwear in order to be fit and healthy.

Haylie and I have been using these minimalist shoes for years with wonderful results.  They are the next best thing to being barefoot!  When you order through my affiliate link here, it helps to grow my business while getting your gang in their best shape ever.  Children and adult sizes available in a range of great styles.  Check out Xero Shoes here:

Doman International Neurological Evaluation

As a Certified Evaluator for the Doman Method Program for children with special needs, I will provide your child with a full functional neurological evaluation that will determine the precise areas of the brain that require rehabilitation.  Then, you can receive training and services directly from Doman International to help your child achieve his or her full potential.  This is the program that we used to treat my daughter’s brain injury (to read more about her journey from learning disabled to business school, click here).  In the past, it was believed that diagnoses like dyslexia, autism, down’s syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, just to name a few, were life sentences.  But now, we know that the brain is highly plastic and can be treated to enable children to live better, fuller lives. 
I currently have openings for half-priced evaluations as part of my certification process!  If you would like to be one of those lucky few, please contact me today!
