We were able to get a morning visit, just before school started. Every staff member we encountered was very friendly and kind. The doctor we met with was very knowledgeable, and everything we needed to know was explained well. They said that we would wait for the new teeth to come in, and then start the work in his mouth so that we didn't put braces on twice. I appreciated that. They said that in about 9 months they would send out paperwork to begin the process. I felt they were very thorough, and we left knowing exactly how things would go.

Between ages 3 and 10 Child Psychologists had diagnosed my son with everything under the sun: High…read moreFunctioning Autism, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia and Tourette's Syndrome. He struggled academically, behaviorally and with attention and social issues. These challenges involved every system of his brain and body. So, we did all the typical medical therapies and educational interventions including ABA, OT, ST medications, Orton Gillingham, social skills classes, diet changes, etc. Yet, by age10 and the end of 4th grade, my son was 3 years behind in school and couldn't manage 1:1 instruction let alone navigate an overstimulating classroom learning environment. Everyday was a challenge to get him to participate. That's when I found Brain Balance and his life changed forever. I can't thank Brain Balance enough! After 4 months in the program, I had a whole different son. Brain Balance got the two sides of his brain to communicate and synchronize. From there, skills he couldn't do before quickly came on board. Teachers in 5th grade were amazed at his improvements in all areas of development and interactions. He moved from the lowest math and reading groups to working at grade level in the broad classroom. His mid-year NWEA testing for math and language arts showed he was at or above grade level in all subjects. He made friends easily and participated in after school activities and sports for the first time. The Brain Balance program is unique and comprehensive. It succeeds where single issue therapies fail because it addresses all systems of the brain and body simultaneously and focuses on improving the weak areas of the brain so they connect and synchronize with the strong areas of the brain and create true functional improvements. In this way, it truly gets to the root cause of childhood neurodevelopmental disorders. The Brain Balance program is not easy and it's not covered by medical insurance, just as other non-medical programs. But it works and is well worth the investment of time and money. It includes intensive sensory, motor, cognitive and academic activities and stresses clean eating diet and nutrition protocols and healthy lifestyle changes. An average commitment of 3-6 months can result in life-changing results for your child and your family. After spending 7 years in other therapies, the 4 months we spent at Brain Balance was well worth the effort and it's taught us healthier ways to live life going forward. Unfortunately, many doctors and educators don't believe in anything but medication and special education accommodations. These just address the symptoms of these problems, not the root cause. So, it's often up to parents to discover programs like Brain Balance on their own. I hope I've given you something to think about and the inspiration to check out Brain Balance yourself to see if it is right for your child.

My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with a learning disability (Slow Learner) and Significant…read moreDevelopmental Delay. She started Brain Balance over the summer--when we had her IEP meeting after approx. 26 sessions, her teachers and therapists couldn't say enough good things about the changes they were seeing! They commented on how quietly she walked through the halls, sat in class and listened to everything, waited quietly while others spoke before speaking, and kindly helped a new student learn the routines. They talked about the huge increase in her reading comprehension, how quickly she was now picking up on multiplication tables and science concepts, and her improvements in her handwriting. They couldn't believe the growth over the summer! I was excited when I watched her meet a child her age--for the first time I listened to her ask socially appropriate questions and wait for the answers. The whole interaction went smoothly--I never had to intervene or explain her behavior. Her speech is now so clear that people who meet her for the first time can understand everything she says! When she talks--she makes comments that contribute to the conversation--not bring it to a grinding halt like she used to. She no longer wets the bed at night and I've seen a significant reduction in chewing on her clothing. She seems less anxious and more involved in what is going on around her. It is amazing to see how proud she is of herself--she knows that she is changing. I give credit where it belongs--Brain Balance of Woodbury! I know how hard they have worked with her and how much support they have given our whole family! I knew Brain Balance would help--but I never knew it would be so HUGE in such a short time! Everyone in the center wants the best for my daughter and want so much for her to succeed. I drive 3hours--one way--for sessions and I will continue for as long as necessary. They are worth the drive and more! This has been the best thing I could ever do for my daughter and for my whole family!

Hands down the best investment I made in my pregnancy and birth. Justine and her team were…read moreincredible to work with. Their support gave me the courage I needed to trust in my vbac even when medical concerns had me doubting it. During labor Justine was the grounding force I needed to stay locked into my vision and have the confidence to push back on unnecessarily rushing my induction. She was a quiet force in the room that allowed me and my husband to work as a team through contractions. When I started to panic as I transitioned she held my focus and reminded me I'm almost there. 20 minutes later I was holding my baby girl. It was the redemptive birth I dreamt of and I am grateful for Justine's unwavering support and confidence. We felt so taken care of from the initial call through delivery. I wouldn't do it again without her. Worth every penny and then some.

If you're on the fence about hiring a doula like we were, don't be--especially if you're…read moreconsidering Justine and her team. We hired Justine for our second pregnancy because I was high-risk, on Lovenox, and managing gestational diabetes, and an unmedicated birth felt right for us. With my first pregnancy, I had no complications and chose an epidural, so my husband was very skeptical about needing a doula this time, especially since our first delivery went so smoothly. What ultimately made us move forward was knowing that my husband, being a very logical person, wouldn't be able to give me the emotional support I'd need during labor. After meeting Justine on a video call, everything instantly felt right. She was warm, supportive, and confident from the start, and she was the only doula who genuinely believed I could have an unmedicated birth--especially considering how quickly my first labor progressed with an epidural. She also reassured my husband that her support was just as much for him as it was for me. Throughout the pregnancy, Justine and her team answered every question and helped me navigate every curveball. No matter what came up, she was there with guidance, resources, and a listening ear. On delivery day, I delivered our baby girl in under an hour--completely unmedicated, just as we hoped. Even though there were moments when I wanted to give up, Justine's calm presence and steady, encouraging voice helped me push through. It ended up being the most magical birth experience I've ever had, and I still can't believe I did it. Hiring her was truly one of the best decisions we made. TL;DR: We were unsure about hiring a doula, but Justine completely changed our minds. Despite a high-risk pregnancy, she supported us from day one, reassured my skeptical husband, and helped me have a fast, completely unmedicated birth. Her calm, steady presence made it the most magical delivery experience--we're so glad we chose her.

She is always compassionate and kind and has gotten to the root of health issues that he has struggled with over the years.

While other reviews are correct, they do require a $200 deposit for your appointment, that $200 is used towards co-pays and any fees. In my case, I was tired of going through the gamut with poor quality providers and wanted someone that was thorough, so I was willing to pay up front based on the referral I received. Once again, I'm so thankful I did - Angela has changed my life drastically, for the better. From day one, Angela listened to my concerns and the struggles I was having, while validating what I was feeling and explaining why I was feeling that way. She is passionate about the work that she's doing and it shows in her commitment to her patients and their overall wellbeing. She takes time to attend conferences and reads in her time outside of work, to continue to improve her knowledge in the area that she is providing service for. Through her recommendations of several books and online resources, I have been able to educate myself on what I (and others) experience so frequently. Angela took the time to listen to my concerns in regards to medication - something that any mental health patient values - and she didn't disregard what I said. She requested lab work to ensure she was making the right medical decision to proceed and validated that the symptoms I was experiencing weren't coming from another source. We found nothing wrong with the current plan, which another provider wanted to abruptly stop, and I was able to continue my treatment. This allowed me to work with Angela over six months, to build a solid treatment plan, that addressed ALL of the issues I was experiencing. I don't see Angela as frequently as I did while we were building my treatment plan, but every visit is the same experience: Angela is a thoughtful provider that is exceptional in her field. She has expertise that cannot be overlooked. I would HIGHLY recommend Angela, and I do, to anyone looking for mental health support.
