What we have done together has been phenomenal! It has completely changed my life. As a teenager, I had a head injury. Afterward I slept through lectures, found it very hard to concentrate or read. I quit college because the challenges were too great. Now after doing Brain Integration with Alex, my eyes are 100% better! I can read as long as I want without my body shutting down and falling asleep. I now ENJOY reading. Concentration during culinary classes are a lot easier. I can stay awake. The teachers notice it too. I can remember names. I seem to be gaining speed when I work and I am able to manage time better, and plan what needs to be done. My headaches are very infrequent. My balance is as good as new. I feel straighter and more coordinated when I run. My life is easier to live not such a struggle.
We worked on some beliefs and experiences of childhood, now I feel more loving, more patient and more confident. The constant fear I had in my life seems to have finally vanished. Thank you for everything Alex. You have literally saved my life!

I am 27 and diagnosed with dyslexia. I have some difficulty with coordination and 3 head injuries, maybe 1 concussion. After Brain Integration, I noticed I no longer have anxiety around breathing while doing the crawl stroke. My stroke is smoother than it has ever been. I can now do the butterfly stroke something that was impossible before. I have more awareness of my body and the tension in it. I can now relax and lower my anxiety over all and overwhelming situations are easier to be with. I can accept things as they are, instead of reacting. Reading is now easier, I can remember peoples names, and note taking is also much easier.
Thank you,

Our 15 year old son, Anthony has
been told that he is dumb and stupid by his classmates. His teachers knew he
was smart and was very knowledgeable of things he heard and saw; but his
reading and reading retention were not good.
In fifth grade he was diagnosed
with dyslexia and things began to improve, but, unknown to us, the damage of
the ridicule and bullying “for being stupid”, being told he “would never go
anywhere and should just die” continued.
The continued tormenting and
bullying caused Anthony to have a lack of confidence and give up on school and
give up on himself. In middle school, he withdrew in his classes, stopped
participating and stopped completing and turning in homework.
He also had
difficulty budgeting time, following directions, giving directions, telling
time, remembering directions, remembering months of the year, and times tables.
He was prone to headaches which turned
into migraines. He had trouble
sleeping. Anthony also struggled with
poor handwriting, organizational skills, reading comprehension, reading skills
and spelling.
By the eighth grade, Anthony
was struggling with depression and was being treated medically and
participating in weekly psychotherapy. He also displayed signs of self-destructive
behavior. His grades were all D’s and F’s with an occasional C. Every class was
a struggle. Anthony was easy to anger and rage at his teachers and other
students.
August:
Anthony began working with
Alex using Brain Integration Technique (BIT) in August just a few weeks before
his freshman year of high school. All summer long we had heard about how he didn’t
want to go to school in August and how much he hated school. His question to us was “as his parents, why
couldn’t we, just accept the fact that he was stupid and always would be?”
After the first couple of
sessions Anthony began to notice a difference in his mood and his sleeping
pattern. When school started, he was not
lashing out at us for making him go.
September:
While Anthony still didn’t
admit to liking school, it was no longer a struggle to get him to go. His
reading got better, he was better able to recall information he read. Memorizing and recalling information also
became easier, ie, times tables.
October:
Because Anthony was feeling
better, he initiated conversations with both his doctor and his therapist about
stopping medication and therapy sessions. After evaluation, the decision was
made to start withdrawing his medicine slowly and start reducing the frequency
of the therapist’s visits. He continued doing better in all of his classes in
school. He was studying and learning in class and he was able to read and
remember things.
November:
Before Thanksgiving, Anthony
was completely removed from his meds. His attitude was great and all of his
classes were going well. During this month he completely read a book in 4 weeks
which is a much shorter time than ever before.
December:
We have “our Anthony” again!
Anthony went to his last therapy appointment; his program was complete. He
finished his first high school freshman semester with 3-A’s, 1-B, 2-C’s and
1-D. He was positive, self confident and while he still doesn’t admit to liking
school, it’s no trouble whatsoever to get him to go.
Since working with Alex using
the BIT, Anthony is able to reign in his emotions, deciding to leave the
situation and not engage. Now he
logically reasons and can see that the principal or teachers really do not like
being screamed at.
Working with Alex has changed
Anthony’s life dramatically.
We sat in on every session Anthony had with Alex
and not only did she make it fun for him but it was easy to tell she cares for
him and what he’s going through. She established a good relationship with him
from day one and kept building on it. After certain appointments where there
was major “realignments” done, she would call us the next day to check on him
and see how he was doing.
Having been a
real doubter of this process, seemed “way out there”, living with the wonderful
results makes it something we encourage everyone to give it a try. WOW, a year ago, we were struggling with a
teenage son who did not think life was worth living to a kid that can’t wait to
live life!

Main issues reading and shyness.
There have been many changes I have experienced in both my lifestyle
and my academics after receiving Brain Integration Therapy. I used to
be extremely shy in front of crowds of people I didn't know. I would
get up in front of my class and have to swallow a lot and I would be so
nervous that I was almost shaking. But, after taking brain integration
therapy I went up in front of my sociology class and only the fist time
I presented was I nervous, after that my nerves were nonexistent. Also
I used
to feel uncomfortable at get-togethers with my grandpa where there
would
be a lot of intellectuals. Now I feel more independent and not reliant
on my grandpa to lead me around.
My reading comprehension has also improved
significantly. Through testing my memory in reading I noticed that I
was
able to recall more of what I read.
Before my BIT appointments
I could remember a couple details and I got the basic gist of what I
was reading and now I can remember and repeat back much more of the
content after I read it. I went from telling minor details back from a
section of two
paragraphs to reciting almost the entire section.
The final and most
important thing for me that I have noticed is that I am no longer
groggy
in the mornings. This has helped me concentrate better in my early
morning classes and I also feel better for the rest of the day. I have
seen a big improvement in the amount of information I retain from these
classes and it has shown in my grades. Brain Integration has definitely
helped me in school and in my personal life.
Thank you very much Alex, it was nice meeting you. I really appreciate what you have done for me.
