“Brain Reconnection was the change our son needed. His development had plateaued in traditional therapies and we were looking for something new. After working with Brain Reconnection, we finally found a therapy where our son could enjoy his sessions while learning new skills. It was important for us that we find a program that would work with him and his unique needs. After we began, we started to see positive changes in our son, most notably he began feeding himself, which had been a struggle. He also started pointing at things he wanted and even shaking his head for ‘no’, nodding for ‘yes’. Overall his body control improved and strengthened. He is more present and engaged with activities then we’ve ever seen him. It has been a very positive experience for him and I encourage all families to give it a try.”

“We have found Brain Reconnection through a referral about a year ago and we are very happy about that! My son has autism, ADHD, and some sensory processing issues. We have noticed some improvements after only 6 months of treatment although there is still some work to do! My child became calmer, he doesn’t run around nearly as much and he is able to sit down and do his homework! He seems way more comfortable in his own body and doesn’t wiggle around as much as he used to. He used to have bladder control issues during day and night and now he only has it some nights. He used to have anger management issues that also seem to have gone away for the most part. Now he is able to live an almost normal life and lead a good example for his younger brother! I am looking forward to seeing more improvements with the this therapy! Brain Reconnection also does strengthening exercise with both of my kids! They are very kind and caring people and they’re dedicated to helping all the children! Thank you so much!” (Evelina and Aaron)

“We have two boys on the autism spectrum and have been bringing both to Brain Reconnection for therapy. Our younger son is non-verbal and was fairly non-communicative when we started. He would make sound approximations only when prompted and was not very interested in engaging with anyone around him. We began to see changes right away – in just a few months he has started prodding his brother to play chase with him and getting our attention to show us something he’s enjoying on his ipad. He not only notices the people around him, but shows excitement and asks to be picked up when his dad – his favorite person now – comes in the room.

Our older son is higher functioning but struggles with communication as well as anxiety and slow processing speed. I was very touched by Hela’s patience and acceptance of his sensitivity. Many of his teachers and aides get frustrated easily with him because they see his hesitation as non-compliance, but Hela recognized the neurosensory issues behind his behavior and made him feel comfortable and accepted. His expressive language is progressing – he has gone from mostly scripting movie lines to actually using his own words to communicate. He is also starting to identify his own feelings. Before, he could not articulate that he was feeling nervous or uncomfortable until it was too much and he had a meltdown. Now he is able to tell me when he’s feeling scared or when certain noises bother him and we can address it in the moment.

Starting with Brain Reconnection has been wonderful for us and we look forward to many more developments!” (Iris (Ethan and Malcolm))

“Hela is a wonderful therapist. Just three months of sessions with Hela, I see big improvements on both of my kids, Jayden and Alyson. My son who suffered major trauma, stress, and insomnia, He is so much calmer, more focused, and able to fall asleep fast every night. As for my daughter, who has hypotonia and all body muscle weakness since she was one, she is stronger in general. She stands taller and back straighter.

Hela is so loving and caring. She took us in as a big family. Her vast knowledge in nutrition and holistic healing is a big plus. Not only give us many advices on the best nutrition diets. She finds ways to customize solutions for us. She even went out of her way to get my kids’ favorite toys and books to help them adjust to the routine of MNRI exercises. Both of my kids love Hela. They are so looking forward see Ms. Hela’s biweekly sessions. Thank you, Hela!”

“My 5.5 year old daughter was diagnosed on spectrum some three years ago and in those three years, I and my husband have tried almost all traditional therapies and treatments with no significant gains. We knew we wanted to chart a new path in her recovery journey, but just did not know how and what to do. A chance phone call connected us to Hela. Our conversation of 45 minutes was the best thing that has happened to our daughter in a long long time. At the end of the phone call, we decided to give Brain Reconnection a try. It was the best decision we ever made.

Over the past 4 months, Hela has helped our daughter experience growth that for us was unimaginable. She went from saying just a few words to singing rhymes with us. From not being able to sit to doing 12 piece puzzles. To not understanding commands to following one step directions. We totally attribute our daughter’s growth to working with Hela.

Hela has become an integral part of our team that supports us in our journey to recovery. She is a plethora of much needed and extremely helpful information. She is loving & compassionate, and is always willing to go the extra mile for us.

There are people who touch our lives at certain points on our life’s journey. We are forever changed and forever grateful for having met them and for the possibilities they have helped us to achieve. Hela is one such person in our life. We recommend Hela without reservation, as she has been a true blessing in our life, helping our daughter in all possible ways. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for her. Thank you so much, Hela! “

It’s so hard to put into words the gratitude my family has for Hela and her team. Our child was experiencing challenges in school and exhibiting stereotypical adhd and autistic behaviors. We were already huge believers in neuroplasticity and the need for sensory integration for children and adults so when I came across Brain Reconnection in my search for child-friendly and effective therapies, I was all in.

I did the free phone consultation and then scheduled for her to evaluate my child. Once she did the evaluation, she was able to tell me all about my child’s challenges simply from manually assessing him. She explained which reflexes were retained and sent me the treatment plan.

The therapy is not only primitive reflex integration or MNRI. She also performs neuro-sage, occupational therapy and several others I wish I knew the name of.

The space is immaculate and minimalistic. Separate rooms for each therapeutic modality and a very calming energy to the place. Hela herself is a picture of health and her team, Roya and Olivia exhibit the same. They love kids and these kids absolutely love them. They don’t see “diagnosis” they see “retained reflexes”. It’s all so refreshing.

The therapies my child has received over the past few months at Brain Reconnection have transformed him! I wish you all could see the smile on my face! Previously my child was coming home daily from school with poor behavior reports, unable to make friends, narrow interests, anxiety, social challenges, extreme adhd, unable to regulate emotions, unable to follow instructions, aggressive behaviors at school. We have been doing the therapies for 6 months. I’d say it took about 2-3 months to see a marked difference. He no longer gets any poor behavior reports. In fact, he gets behavior rewards. He has several friends. He’s able to calmly communicate big feelings. He’s able to get him self back into a calm emotional zone after experiencing big feelings. He’s testing above average academically. He can sit and do all of his class work. He has no more narrow interests (this was a behavior that was very prominent ALL TRAINS EVERYTHING!)!! He plays with all toys. He watches new shows rather than the same movie over and over.

He is still our very gifted, unique, funny child with so many amazing ideas. Only now, he’s better integrated and able to regulate. So excited to continue his therapies knowing that we have an amazing tool to help him reach his highest potential.

What a joy and a gift it has been to experience him grow and blossom at the hands of Hela and her team and Brain Reconnection!!

My son has been working with Hela and Brain Reconnection for the past three years. He started with a lot of behavioral problems and dis-regulation. We are continuing to see progress through the time we have been coming. He is calm, more grounded, communicates more, shares his expressions and is more social. His handwriting and drawing as well as his academics have also improved. We have recommended this practice to so many families. We believe it’s a missing piece to neuro developmental challenges.

MNRI has been amazing for our son. After seeing him platuea in traditional therapies we began looking for something different and found Hela. The therapy techniques stimulate different parts of the body and create real change in the brain. Our son has autism and severe epilepsy and has been working with Hela for a few years now and has made incredible gains. After every session he is energized and contented. It’s not the type of therapy where the patient needs to do a lot of difficult tasks, so it’s a great choice for kids like my son, who usually cry and complain during therapy. The things they do are so creative and unqiue, I’m so glad we found something that works for our son. Hela is so passionate about her work and her patients, she will make positive changes in your life, you’ll see!

Hela + her team are beyond amazing. They took care of my son so well + paid attention to every detail. You can tell a difference in my son just from the first intensive we’ve had. He will definitely need more sessions with these lovely ladies + we can’t wait to come back. We are glad to be a part of this family + journey with them. Thank you 🙂
