"I can’t say enough about the Brain Balance program and especially all of the women at the Redlands location. I was looking for help with my 6 year old daughter who had started with some behavioral issues, and had recently started dealing with OCD. My daughter just completed phase 1 of her program yesterday & she is doing amazing! The coaches are the best cheerleaders for the children - they go out of their way to help find ways to motivate each child."

"Our family has been blessed by the staff and their expertise in helping our family on our health journey. We felt led to this facility and program through reading the book, “Disconnected Kids” by Dr. Robert Melillo, found a testimony on Instagram by @laurabpilates, and heard an advertisement on Air1 radio. We prayed about it as we were at our lowest point of not knowing how to help our daughter in a very dark and confusing time."
Eric
"Brain Balance has been the best decision we could've made for our son. The progress that he has made and has continued to make has been amazing. His ADHD has been under control with all that he has learned from brain balance. School is easier, home life is easier, just all around easier."
Zachery B
"We needed to give our son some extra therapy, because he was not getting nearly enough in his special ed class. The Brain Balance exercises and diet change have helped my son tremendously. He realizes that he can think differently and it was definitely giving him the confidence he needs. He’s learning things way faster now."
Jeremy
"My daughter was struggling in school/Daycare academically and socially. She is a very bright kid with a big heart but was struggling in various areas. she would hear different words then what you actually said or seemed like she was tuning you out. very sensitive to textures and smells."
Abigail
"Everyone is super nice but most importantly for us they really took the time to understand my child’s needs and focus on them. He loved going here and we have seen a big difference in him. Overall it was a great experience."
