About Us

In 2011, Doug and Greta Fowler faced a deeply concerning challenge with their youngest son, then seven years old. As an English, Music, and Special Education educator who had taught from preschool through high school, Greta struggled to understand the academic and behavioral issues her son was experiencing. They had pursued years of Occupational Therapy (OT), Physical Therapy (PT), and Speech Therapy, but nothing provided lasting relief. They were getting desperate as their son still could not read, had a very limited diet, and still struggled with basic tasks like tying his shoes. They decided to enroll him in the Brain Balance program. Despite Doug's skepticism and the long, hour-each-way drive they made with their other children in tow, they committed fully. The results exceeded their highest hopes. The program was profoundly transformative, delivering more significant progress than the seven years of previous therapies combined. Brain Balance reignited their hope, shattering perceived limits on their son's potential. He blossomed with confidence, began engaging with the world, and even started singing—a joyous milestone his mother had never dared to imagine. Today, his success continues: he got his driver's license, was Homecoming King, played on his high school's varsity Lacrosse team, and is now thriving in college as a walk-on starter for his college Lacrosse team.

Just two years later, inspired by their son's incredible progress, the Fowlers embarked on a new adventure: opening their own Brain Balance center to bring that same hope and experience to their local community. They have since helped nearly a thousand families navigate various struggles. Their students' accomplishments are numerous, including:

• A student with crippling anxiety starring in their high school's production of Grease the Musical.
• A student with no reciprocal language learning to speak clearly and engage in conversation.
• SAT scores improving by hundreds of points.
• A student finally passing a multiple-times failed exam to become a Vet tech.

Greta reflects on her work, saying, "My favorite part of Brain Balance is seeing the small breakthroughs in physical and functional exercises that I know will lead to big changes as the students' brains and bodies make more and more connections. We celebrate every little win at BB knowing that the little wins add up to big changes that make the world more manageable for our students and families. This is especially rewarding from a teaching perspective. I love what we do!"
