I have trained thousands of adults, mostly teachers, principals, administrators, and parents about basic physiology of the brain and body and movements that help to integrate the two. I have spoken at a variety of gatherings ranging from Title1 Conferences* to Eric Jensen's Brain Expo in Chicago.

* Title I refers to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 the goal of which was to improve the academic achievement of the disadvantaged).

I have a sliding scale so that all can participate. My basic fee for children is $55 and $65 for adults. The $55 fee for children includes a 45-60 minute session with a customized movement plan for the individual child. The $65 fee for adults includes the same. These prices are flexible according to income.

I can say through experience that the participants who practice their movement plan at home are the ones that notice the most progress. I always tell people that my job is to not to continue seeing you. If I have done my job, then you have learned enough on your own to not need me. Maintenance is a good idea but frequent visits over a long period of time are not recommended.
