Look Who's Using Brain Gym®

 

“Since taking the Brain Gym® 101 course, I have been using Brain Gym® both personally and professionally in day to day life.  I work with staff and children in need of extra support throughout our multiple centres. Our programs are based on our educational philosophy and focus on the total development of the child (emotional, intellectual, physical and social growth) through play and "hands on learning". We have been implementing Brain Gym® into most of our child care programs. By the end of 2010 all of our teachers, managers will be trained on the Brain Gym® program. We use PACE (a sequence of Brain Gym® movements) in our programs and we incorporate The Elephant, Lazy 8’s, and Cross Crawl movements. We have noticed a positive change in the children’s attitude.  

When Brain Buttons and PACE have been included in the program, either before circle time or when the children have high energy, there has been a positive change in their behaviour. Most of the children are able to settle a little faster or if they have low energy and we are having difficulty motivating them, the Brain Gym® moves help them to become engaged again!!

Personally, I have been incorporating Brain Gym® into my day.  What I have noticed is that my stress has been less and my attitude toward my work day has been more positive. I have found the Brain Gym®101 course to be amazing!!! It really opened my mind on how little time I spend on myself and it allows me to take that time and recharge. The Instructor, Jill Hewlett is a very effective trainer.”

"I use Brain Gym® at night before I go to bed as a transitioning tool to help me relax from my day and go to sleep. I have a very stressful job and Brain Gym® helps me de-stress. By using Brain Gym® my stress levels have been reduced. I am more relaxed and have a tool now to help me calm down at night when I have too much on my mind to sleep. I now sleep through the night and do not lay awake worrying about work.

The part of the training I liked the best was the learning how to do the balance processes, specifically the "Reading" Balance process. The noticing and clarity of the results were obvious at the end of the process. I would not change anything about this workshop, it was just the right amount of time, we were not rushed and a very good pace each day.

Brain Gym® training most definitely met the goals of our organization!! When surveying participant feedback, consensus was, they loved the workshop and they all wanted to know when Community Living Parry Sound were bringing back the Trainers for a third day. The Brain Gym® applications were very practical. I would definitely use Brain Works Global Inc. training services again!"

"Jill's uncanny ability to see right to the heart of the matter, along with her genuine interest in service people, is second to non. Through my work with Jill in a corporate group setting and on an individual level, I have developed an inner strength and an ability to embrace aspects of myself that has helped me both professionally and personally. Jill will touch the mind, heart and should of any organization that wants to live to its fullest potential."
Linda Martin, National Sales Manager, Ralph Lauren Footwear

 

"Jill is one of the most credible, passionate and entertaining speakers I have ever heard. Her rapport with the audience is nothing short of hypnotic. Her sincere enthusiasm for her topic is reflected in the powerful content of her speech and through the smiles in the audience. This is a woman who truly 'walks her talk' and it shows!"
Derrick Sweet, Author of "Get the Most out of Life" and "Healthy, Wealthy and Wise"

 

"Jill Hewlett is a dynamic and interactive trainer who worked with our organization on team building, communication, creativity and stress management. The Brain Gym exercises were excellent, practical and easy to use in working on the goals of our group. We have been using them daily at work since our session. We even incorporated a message about Brain Gym in our staff newsletter! The training allows for the recognition of stress, and how to take a few moments to regroup and reduce the stress. It impacts interactions at work and allows for better coping with stressful situations. For those interested in this training - go for it! The training is informative, practical and applicable in so many situations."
