“My daughter was really behind. She seemed more like a 3 year old than a five year old before treatments with Julissa. She hardly talked and when she did communicate her sentences were disjointed and response time slow. Within a few treatments her communication had improved drastically, and she wasn’t so afraid anymore. I am so grateful for how patient Julissa was during the sessions with Maddy and how much she really cared about Madd’s progress. She was able to help my daughter in a way I never thought possible.”
“I first heard about brain integration from a friend who had used it for her dyslexic son with great results. I decided to try it out with my then six-year-old daughter who struggled with reading. We had about eight sessions with Julissa and a few weeks later, she started reading chapter books with no change in our education routine. She’s been an enthusiastic reader ever since… this therapy has been such a blessing for our whole family!”
“The biggest difference I saw in Liam was increased processing speed. He was able to express himself better and his language and confidence in it increased. He also had greater retention of information I appreciated working on affirmation phrases and him being able to have better recognition of his anxiety. I was also able to learn techniques in helping him best learn and communicate.. It was helpful to learn ways to prepare him for learning. I gained as much as he did through your program.”
