The brain is the organ we use to experience life — both inside and out. When it’s carrying restriction, you feel it everywhere. Brain Balancing is the technique I developed to meet the brain where it is, and help it release what’s in the way.
Where it came from
I was introduced to brain motility in 2003, through a seminar built on Frank Lowen’s work — which itself grew out of Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral’s visceral manipulation, taught through the Upledger Institute. That was the seed.
From there, I spent years developing my own technique through clinical experience. The brain is complex. It invites support in very specific ways, if you’re patient enough to listen.
Since 2015, this work has grown in another direction. I began seeing patients referred by their therapists — people doing deep processing work through EMDR, Brainspotting, LENS, NET, and Splanka. My role became helping the brain integrate after those sessions. Completing the shift. Connecting back to the original event underneath a belief or a pattern. This piece has been pivotal — it’s where the physical and the emotional stop being separate conversations.
Ways to work with Brain Balancing
This technique meets people in a few different doorways. A closer look at each is coming in its own post — here’s the overview.
Neurological support — Brain Balancing tends to shine with headaches, concussion and post-TBI symptoms, epilepsy, a history of meningitis or high fever, and post-COVID brain fog.
Deep therapeutic and psychedelic integration — Intensive counseling, trauma therapy, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy can move a lot in a short amount of time — perception, memory, emotional processing, even identity structure. Brain Balancing supports the brain in finishing that organization, easing fragmentation, overstimulation, and cognitive fatigue in the days after deep work.
High-performance and cognitive optimization — Sustained focus, fast decisions, travel, disrupted sleep — it all asks a lot of the nervous system. Brain Balancing supports the brain’s natural motility and circulation, helping executives, entrepreneurs, and high-level professionals stay sharp, regulated, and resilient without pushing harder.
Trauma and emotional integration — Settling thought, emotion, and memory patterns tied back to an original event, often alongside your ongoing therapy work.
It works virtually, too
This isn’t hands-on-only work. Brain Balancing is built on witnessing — being with what’s there, matching the energy the brain and nervous system need in the moment. That kind of attention travels through a screen just as it moves through my hands. I offer this work in person in NYC, Colorado Springs, and Seattle, and virtually across many states — same technique, same presence, wherever you’re joining from.
