Lynn & Jason Brittnacher
Owners/Executive Directors
The past five years of Lynn and Jason’s family’s life were filled with health challenges that seemed insurmountable. Leaning on God through these times allowed them to come out on the other side, stronger and more blessed than they could have ever imagined. With grateful hearts, they turned their eyes upward and asked, “What is your plan for us God? We are here to serve.” God answered them with an overwhelming need to use their talents to help individuals who struggle.

Jennifer Fischer
Program Director
Jennifer Fischer is the Program Director. Jen worked as a Behavior Technician working with children through the ABA therapy program. In 2015 she graduated from Fox Valley Technical College with a degree as a Occupational Therapy Assistant. For the past 6 years, Jen has pursued the medical field working with adult and geriatric populations providing skilled therapy. The focus of her work was physical and cognitive progression through evidence-based, therapeutic treatments to promote quality of life and independence with activities of daily living. The Brain Balance program focuses on engagement of the brain and body working together, which immediately caught her attention with her background in Occupational Therapy. Since joining our staff she just had to learn so much more. She loves that at Brain Balance we dive into looking at the root cause of the challenges the kids in the program face in their day to day life. She also loves the emphasis on a holistic, non medical intervention for kids, which is so unique and truly beneficial to support them academically, socially, behaviorally and emotionally while they continue to develop into their adult years! Jen is excited to be a part of the team bringing the Brain Balance Program to the Fox Valley area and to again be working with children and their families. As Program Director, she will help them achieve growth with their goals and show them their capabilities are endless in our program!
Hayley Verbeten
Program Director
Hayley Verbeten, one of our Program Directors, graduated from UW-Green Bay with her Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a minor in Education. After graduating, Hayley had a plan to pursue her Educational Specialist (EdS) in School Psychology Degree, but God had a different plan when she was introduced to Brain Balance. She has always had a passion for the non-medical, “find-the-root-cause,” approach to helping children and fell in love with Brain Balance’s whole-brain approach! During college, Hayley was involved in human development and neuropsychology through internships and research. She worked with many children ranging in age from infant all the way into adulthood to study natural human development. When Brain Balance was introduced to her she said “If I were to describe my dream job, this would be it…and I didn’t even know it existed!” Outside of Brain Balance, you can always find Hayley with her fiance doing some hiking, reading, hanging out with their dogs, horseback riding, at rodeos, or exploring new Wisconsin landscapes (especially at their family cabin in Townsend)! Hayley is excited to be part of the Brain Balance of Fox Valley team and use her background in human development to help children reach all of their developmental milestones!
