"I was experiencing some difficulties in a relationship when I went to see Paula for an individual consultation approximately two weeks ago. Previously I had some very brief experience with Non-Violent Communication (NVC) and Kinesiology but had not used them as a combined tool. I was initially skeptical about how attending the session on my own would impact positively on both of our problems. After completing the Brain Gym movements my focus went from largely about others to more about me and my need for exploration and connection with self. This was quite a surprise as I realized I had been so busy thinking about how others were affecting me, I wasn't really in tune with what I needed to give myself. I continued to do the movements after the session and have noticed how much calmer and happier I feel. I'm pleasantly surprised about how I have been able to recognize when I am reacting to a situation and now I choose to remove myself from the situation and do some movements or the four step self connection process. By changing the way I am thinking, feeling and behaving there has been a positive effect on my interaction with my partner, and I feel that I am much better able to be calm in situations that are diffficult. I am able to be more of an observer. I've seen some really good results so far".

"I am continually amazed at the changes in my daughter", says 'K'. She had a best buddy from grade one and there had been a pattern in their relationship from the beginning. My daughter felt "bossed, put down and pushed away" by her friend at times. At the start of the school week she would be fine. By after-school Tuesday, she would be distressed and telling about 'this happening' and 'that happening'. By Thursday she would be in tears. 'K' said, "I was getting upset and stressed seeing my daughter go through this". By Friday, she would be convinced that she was no longer friends with the other girl. 'K' didn't want to interfere and stop the girls playing. This went on for a year. After a Brain Gym balance, my daughter's response to the situation changed. She really responded to 'Thinking of an X' activity. There's been a one-off reaction since the balance and it didn't have the same heightened effect. "It was not a big blow and we could talk about it and let it go, which is a pretty big change", according to 'K'.

"For many years I have gotten into deep emotional troughs that could last for weeks. After doing a series of individual Brain Gym consultations, I find the feeling only lasts a few hours at most and I get through it much easier now, with perspective on things. I am more honest with myself about things. I can see things clearer. I’ve been reminded of what my truth really is".
