Serving families across Arizona with flexible program options to fit every family's needs!
Get Started
You have an amazing child with unlimited potential. But something seems to be getting in the way. They may have behavioral problems, social difficulty, or be experiencing academic frustrations. They may want social interaction but struggle to make and keep friends. They may know the answers for a test but test poorly. In other words, something is “out of balance.”
It is painful to watch your child struggle. Whether the challenges are social, behavioral, academic, or otherwise, understanding the cause and how to help is difficult. Meanwhile, more and more children are diagnosed or “labeled” with countless unexplained disorders. Unfortunately, unless the origin of these issues is understood, the problems generally follow the children into adulthood and often grow even worse.
Ironically, many of these children are very bright and do great in many areas. Yet, some are unable to pay attention, sit still, and are easily distracted. They have a tough time following instructions and some fail to respond entirely. Some have frequent emotional outbursts while some are picky eaters. Others have poor coordination, difficulty riding a bike, catching a ball, or have no interest in sports at all. Instead, they seem obsessed with TV, video games, and may even ask to watch the same movie over and over. Read more below to see how Brain Balance can help.

Our integrated, whole-child approach begins with a personalized assessment. This assessment allows us to identify your child’s specific needs so that we can create a customized plan just for them. Next, we develop a plan that uses in-center training sessions as well as at-home activities to help your child reach their goals.

Brain Balance does not require that a child has a medical diagnosis, nor do we clinically diagnose medical conditions. Our focus is on understanding the struggles these children experience and helping them develop and strengthen the connections to help reduce those struggles.
For those who do have a diagnosis,1 research has shown that the unique challenges your child is facing can be linked to weak connections across different regions of the brain.
The Brain Balance assessment provides you with a deeper view of your child’s struggles. During the assessment, your child’s sensory, motor and cognitive development are evaluated. This assessment helps identify areas of development that need strengthening. The reasons why a child may excel in some areas but has trouble in others will become clearer. From the results, we create a plan that helps your child overcome their struggles.
Fill out our form now to get started. A Brain Balance team member will reach out to personally discuss your child’s challenges and schedule your child’s assessment.
When kids struggle with focus, behavior or sensory processing, it can be linked to weak connections across different regions in the brain. The good news is, we know that the brain can change in a way that may lead to improvements for your child or teen. The Brain Balance program exercises and activities are uniquely designed to help strengthen and build new connections by using a combination of physical, sensory, and cognitive activities. These new, efficient, and effective connections in the brain lead to improvements in our ability to complete cognitive tasks and in our executive functioning:
When these skills and functions improve, a child may feel improved confidence and be better equipped to engage and thrive in the world around them.
The Brain Balance program was recently part of a research study conducted by Harvard University’s McLean Hospital. The research study focused on the impact of aspects of the Brain Balance program, completed at home, on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).We are incredibly excited to share the preliminary findings of this ongoing research.
The Brain Balance Program offers a comprehensive, drug-free option that goes beyond the more traditional, mainstream approaches you may have tried before to help your child get to the root of their challenges instead of masking them.

Brain Balance helps children of all ages. All children are different yet many of them have similar struggles. Regardless of how small or big the challenges may be, they can make life harder for the child and for the whole family.
For the past two years my husband and I felt that Jasmine was not moving forward like other children her age. We wanted to help her without medication, if possible.
My husband and I were at a restaurant and I wanted to go through the drive through and he wanted to go in. Thank goodness my husband won and we went in. While we were in line I saw a Brain Balance poster that listed the struggles we saw in Jasmine. I went to the center and while they were showing me around and talking about the program, I was thinking how did they know Jasmine? That is when I knew this was the place for her.
Before Brain Balance she was very emotional, lacked focus, could never sit still and was always on the move. She hated school and so did we. Every day she came home upset and crying because she couldn’t do the work and she didn’t get along with her classmates, especially the boys. She was overweight and struggled to keep up with her peers. So with all that and more against her school was very hard.
After Brain Balance Jasmine is on the right track. Now she is focused and school is no longer as hard. Her teacher said that her handwriting is one of the best in her class. She stands up in front of her class and reads her book reports. We can go on road trips now because she can sit still longer than 10 minutes without asking “are we there, yet?” She understands personal space and, because of that, she has made friends of her own age. She tries and enjoys new foods. She is at a healthy weight now and running is no longer a problem for her. Teachers are always expressing how proud they are of Jasmine and all her positive changes. Everyone who knew Jasmine before Brain Balance all say she has grown in a positive way. We couldn’t be more proud of her. She put in the hard work and it is paying off. She is still continuing to develop and work on things, but Brain Balance is the best thing that could ever have come into our lives.
At the center they are so nice and helpful. They always have smiles on their faces because they are truly happy to see you and help wherever they can. Do whatever you can to enroll your child into Brain Balance. It is a lot of hard work, but in the end you will be so happy you did it. This program changed Jasmine’s life and our lives forever. Now we get to see what we knew Jasmine was all along – smart, confident outgoing and beautiful from the inside out. Give this great gift to your child; they will be forever grateful!

Our Brain Balance journey began for Reichlin for a few different reasons. He has always been such a very physically strong kid but could not use his body to where we felt like he should be able to. Coordination was always an issue for him, not for daily tasks but for bigger full body movements. He also was struggling to not get distracted in class and his teacher had reported that he was getting his card turned frequently in class, which was unlike him. He also struggled with his handwriting fluency. We just felt like he was capable of more, and there was no apparent reason why he was struggling in these areas.
After we had his Brain Balance evaluation, things made a lot more sense as to why he was struggling. Parts of his brain were underdeveloped, preventing some of his abilities to grow. His core was weak. He looked like he should be able to do the activities that were being asked of him, but he couldn’t. He was disengaged in most things and his main interests were to watch TV and play video games.
We have learned so much about Reichlin and how to help him from Brain Balance. He got all straight A’s and perfect scores on all of his citizenship grades this last semester. He is doing great in Gymnastics and has really engaged in our family and with his friends. We have had numerous people that have commented on how much more imaginative and involved he is when they spend time with him! We are so grateful that Brain Balance has put not only Reichlin on the right path, but our whole family.
– Jillian BatesBefore Brain Balance, Hayden struggled with the normalcy of a child’s day. School was a constant struggle, he had trouble keeping friends, and he felt justified in angry outbursts directed at classmates. He ran away from school on more than one occasion and took things that didn’t belong to him. Worst of all, everyday there was an email from his teacher, listing his mistakes and struggles of the day. He was hyperactive, impulsive, anxious, and struggled to sleep at night. Hayden felt bound by repetitive rituals and obsessions; he was fearful of germs and avoided contact with people. We had tests done that proved he had a brilliant mind and photographic memory, yet he couldn’t follow simple rules or stand the way socks felt on his feet.
After Brain Balance Hayden is the brilliant, happy, and sweet boy I always knew he could be. He enjoys being outdoors, riding his bike, and playing team sports, things he was unable to do before. Hayden no longer struggles to make and keep friends. He no longer struggles with obsessive or compulsive behaviors. Gone are the days we used to fight over the need for him to wear a coat when it’s winter, because now he can actually feel when he is cold. He reads social cues and understands facial expressions to know how someone else is feeling. He no longer has tantrums, or beats up on himself. He is happy and proud of who he is and no longer asks “mommy, what’s wrong with me?” His eczema has even disappeared. The very best part: Others see the difference in him too. Now teachers tell me, not only that he’s smart but that he’s a good and well behaved young man. I always knew he was capable of it, but Brain Balance gave him the ability to achieve it.
– Amber Sundwall
Between the ages of 6 and 9 years old, my son was diagnosed with ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome and stress-induced Tourette’s Syndrome. Although he is a smart child, every school year that went by, the social gap got larger and larger; his grades really started suffering. He was always labeled as “weird” or “annoying” and people didn’t want to take the time to get to know or understand him. About the time he got into 8th grade, the age related temptations and peer-related issues got too much for him to hanule; resulting in failing classes, experimenting with drugs/alcohol, trips to the Principal’s office and school suspensions. He turned “Emo” and got very depressed, was being tempted by “Satanism” and talked about suicide. Everyone around us had an opinion of what to do, and how to hanule an “un-ruley” or “rebellious” kid; along w/their opinions of how a ‘real mother’ should hanule him. The stress and heartbreak it was causing me to watch my son self-destruct got to be too much for me to hanule and I knew something had to be done about his downward spiral before it was too late.
One day I was pulled over in my car crying (after ANOTHER argument w/him) and asked God for a sign of what to do. Then I heard a commercial on the radio for Brain Balance.
Since Brain Balance, his transformation has been incredible. He is more respectful, does his chores without it turning into a battle, is more outgoing, is frienuly and is HAPPY. He and his sister now have their best-friend relationship back. His physical transformation is amazing. He has gone from the black gothic look to his own natural look. Before Brain Balance, he always had an awkward physical ability – now he can run and loves to be outdoors.
Austin was very glad he attended Brain Balance
Our 11 year old son was diagnosed with Ali when he was 8 years old. His younger brother, who is 8 was diagnosed when he was 6 with ADHD. Both boys took medicine to help them focus in school and in life. While we did the lowest doses possible they struggled with insomnia, weight loss, and other side effects that came with the medicine. They started to become less social. They didn’t want to leave the house. The computer or some other screen was where they wanted to be. They no longer would play outside. In a nutshell, they were trapped inside their own bodies.
After talking with several parents about Brain Balance, I knew we had to try. I tell people that if my sons needed a medical operation to save their lives, I would do it no matter the cost. I viewed Brain Balance as “life saving”. I knew this program could alter the course of their lives. We had to do it! It is by far the best money we have ever spent. Having our boys back is priceless! The little boys that were trapped inside have blossomed. I no longer dread taking them somewhere and having them act up. They listen. They read social cues. They play outside! They are so much fun!
Both boys are completely off of their medicine and are doing great in school. I never dreamed it could be this good. They both have come to love the diet and are very happy to be eating so healthy. They tell me it makes them feel better. Their teachers have noticed their improvement and were very supportive. My advice to anyone considering Brain Balance is to DO IT! Work the program and the program will work for you! It is hard work, but do it! My boys are so proud of their accomplishments with Brain Balance and they would tell you to do it as well.
Andrew was struggling with his behavior in school, at home, and in his activities. He was immature for his age, prone to severe emotional meltdowns, unable to sit still at all, constantly complained about wearing clothes and shoes (and very often took them off – while at school), wouldn’t look people in the eyes, and didn’t seem to hear or remember instructions. He also didn’t like to color or write, and reading was difficult. He was very stubborn, lacked impulse control, and was also struggling with a slight stutter. He often interrupted, and could not read social cues well enough to realize that this was not appropriate. His teachers, maybe without even realizing it, started to label him as a “bad” kid, which was hard for me as a mom to watch. He also seemed to be struggling with academics, but I knew that was not for lack of intellect, but from an inability to focus. I finally realized that whatever his issues were – they were beyond my ability to hanule alone. So, we began to consider and look for help.
We found Brain Balance by accident. My husband saw the center one day as he was driving around on a lunch break. Curious, he looked it up when he got back to his office, and immediately sent the website to me to look at. After some research and careful consideration, I decided to call in.
It was the best call I ever made.
Looking at him from this end of the Brain Balance experience, he is a completely different child! The first change we noticed was that he started looking at us in the eye. Then, he started commenting on smells, which he never had before, and I hadn’t even realized it. Slowly, his behavior started improving.
Now, he does not stutter when he speaks, and can articulate himself well beyond his age level. He is calmer, can sit through school and church, he can read social cues much better, he responds to instruction much quicker, and remembers everything that he is told to do. He is not so easily distracted by surrounding noises, and can focus on a particular task until it is done. He also keeps his clothes and shoes on at school. His fine motor skills have improved drastically, and as a result, he now loves to draw pictures, and his handwriting has improved. His reading is now beyond his grade level and his sight word recall is quick and accurate. His intellect is now shining through! I feel bad saying this – but I did not give him enough credit in that department! I knew he was bright, but in reality, now that his mind is clear and functioning properly, he is SO much smarter than I realized. It is amazing to see his intelligence shine!
His emotional meltdowns have all but disappeared! If he gets frustrated, he responds like any normal kid now. He doesn’t throw the big tantrum like he used to, but can better control his emotions and reactions, and now he can be reasoned with. I don’t have to worry about him breaking down randomly anymore! It is such a relief! It has made family outings more fun, and much less stressful.
Most importantly, he is happier, and much more confident in himself. It is a reward beyond hope! Brain Balance has changed our boy’s life for the immeasurable better! It was a lot of work, but worth every bit!”
Tammy and Bo Bingham have made it their mission to help as many families as possible after the profound changes the Brain Balance program made in the lives of their two sons and family. In 2011, they made the difficult decision for Tammy and the children to move temporarily across the country so their two boys could participate in the Brain Balance program. Tammy’s husband stayed at home and worked, flying out when he could to be with the family.
Due to the great success for their sons in Brain Balance, Tammy and her Bo made arrangements to bring the miracle of Brain Balance to other families. Tammy serves as the Executive Director of the Brain Balance centers in Utah, Arizona, Oregon and Colorado. Their personal experience with the program, from the point of view of a parent, helps to ensure that through Brain Balance there is hope for every child and harmony for every family.

"Brain Balance has changed our family forever. It is by far one of the most amazing things I have witnessed in my life.
My hope is that other families will find Brain Balance first and save themselves the pain, struggle, financial burden, marital and family stress that we and so many other families have experienced.
Because of this, we have worked to bring Brain Balance to the families of Utah so they can experience the same changes and miracles with which we have been blessed."
