Helping kids thrive this school year by building routines, balancing screen time, and strengthening executive function.

Every week in his ninja + tumbling class, Grant grips bars, climbs ropes, swings across obstacles, balances on beams, and practices push-ups. These aren’t just physical activities, they’re exercises that challenge his brain and body to work together.

I will be sharing local events you can attend, free and low cost screening resources, easy ways to participate if your October calendar is already packed, and practical planning tips to make the most of awareness events.

We’re now two months into the program, and the ripple effect is undeniable. From the way we move our bodies to how we sit down for dinner, Brain Balance has inspired us to reframe what “support” looks like at home.

I don’t know about you but I’ve always been a little scared putting my kids into sports, hearing all of the negative stigma that comes with it. But with Coach Bobby It’s all about finding the love for the activities at a young age.

When I officially became a client, we kicked things off with some seriously in-depth testing to understand what’s really going on underneath the surface.
