For Children
Is something blocking your child’s social, behavioral or academic progress? Brain Balance picks up where conventional approaches leave off, going beyond the treatment of symptoms to address root causes. At Brain Balance, we’re not about coping with barriers. We’re about knocking them down, one small breakthrough at a time.
For Adults
Whether you are looking to enhance your attention, memory, and problem solving, or want to improve your stress and mood management, Brain Balance can help. The program is designed to strengthen brain connectivity using a unique combination of physical, sensory, and cognitive activities. We’ll ship you everything you need to complete the program.

She and her husband, Seth, researched until they found a holistic healing alternative to help their son overcome his diagnoses. She knows each and every kid has a purpose, and she desires to help them reach their full potential. Jenny’s most recent work experience found her running an administrative division for a consulting firm out of Nashville, TN. This equipped her to relate to people from all walks of life, to truly hear their stories, and help them reach the goals they set for their organizations. As a Program Director for Brain Balance, Jenny loves connecting with families, hearing their stories, and helping them reach the goals they long for in their child.
