Testimonials
Jessie Mantle, Victoria, Canada: “At 74 my balance was slipping fast. I wasn’t sure if I could stand on the board but I stand straight and steady! My posture has improved, my balance and agility are much better, and my brain feels sharper. I’m thrilled.”
Sharon Sather, Victoria, Canada: “I look forward to my 15 minute brain defrag break on the hemi-sync board at work. It gives my brain a chance to de-stress while I have a good laugh playing bean bags with my co-worker. I feel much more productive later in the day when I have this kind of a break.”
Jean Patterson, Victoria, Canada: “When I get home from work, my daughter usually greets me by saying, ‘Can you do this trick Daddy?’ It really is amazing because everyone in the family loves playing with the bean bags. So after dinner we get together to play. Our family fights over who gets to use the hemi-sync board first.”
Lyn Jackson, Victoria, Canada: “Since I started standing on your hemi-sync board, I took 5 strokes off my recreational golf game within a couple of weeks. It also helped me a lot in other areas of my daily life: quicker thinking, better memory, concentration and focus. One of the tests we took was reading speed. I was astounded that my improvement was 34%. It has been over a year since I first tried these Power Brain Fitness activities and the changes that came quickly have lasted.”
Lloyd Gauthier, Alberta: “Linda, what did you do to my golf? The next day after doing the hemi-sync activities, my chipping was improved and now it is the best part of my game.”
George Brown, Victoria, Canada: “Finally an activity my grandkids want to do with me. And they don’t even know it’s good for them!”
Connie Hyrcon, Victoria, Canada: “I didn’t know learning could be so much fun! This is a great way to improve my memory and I have a “BLAST” doing it.”
Nancy Gregson, VIHA, Victoria, BC: “This was the fastest half hour of fun! Good for all of us no matter the age, gender or group.”
Andrea Amador, New York, USA: “I can’t tell you how much fun I had doing the DVD exercises in front of my TV. There I was in the den laughing at myself and having a blast. And to think that I’m actually doing something great for my brain by doing this…it’s unimaginable!”
Barb Rainey, Zone 5 Women’s Golf Committee: “This has been amazing - I actually didn’t expect this type of result!! Prior to your one-day seminar, golf was always my passion, but now it’s a passion with calmer results. To say that I was hard on myself would be an understatement – now I can enjoy the game without beating up on myself. Those bad shots are less frequent and more acceptable. Even my experiences with those crazy Victoria automobile drivers is less stressful.”
Heather Dyble Powell River, BC (March 25, 2008): “I am VERY PLEASED to report that I spent some time on the “PBF Hemi-Sync Board” today when I saw my therapist. She was VERY PLEASED with the progress she believes I have made. She believes I can spend some time walking without using the cane but carry it in case I feel tired and need the cane/s support.
“I feel GREAT about this because I believe I may be able to do the 10 KM. M.S. Walk on Sept 27 either carrying a cane OR have a cane in the support vehicle that will circle the route. I REALLY want to do the Walk without using a cane/s or wheelchair for support. I feel SO OPTIMISTIC, ENCOURAGED and EXCITED.”
Lynne Harrison & Dave Irwin, Canmore, Alberta (April 9, 2008): “Dave has done a tremendous job of rehabilitating himself to a highly functioning level since his near fatal brain injury in 2001. But we all miss the “old Dave.”
“I don’t know how it works inside the brain, but after Linda Schaumleffel spent a week in March 2008 putting Dave through Power Brain Fitness workouts, I can see the “old Dave” returning.
-He laughs more often and initiates jokes.
-He more frequently expresses thanks for things done for him.
-His frustration level seems lower.
-He spends less time trying to pick apart inexact language use than before.
-He reacts to new routines with more ease (travel routines).
-He is more able to hold onto his trail of thought in discussions.
-He has more confidence talking with individuals.
-He more readily joins in discussions with larger groups of people.
-He is more willing to help himself with tasks.
-He is more willing to take responsibility for his own actions.
-He blames less.
-He seems more relaxed overall.
-He is much happier.
“In the big scheme of things, Power Brain Fitness is like fine tuning, but I am thrilled to see how much more relaxed Dave is. I have missed Dave’s confident, effervescent personality, and I see that returning now! It is such a relief for both of us, for Dave to get his life back! Linda will be working with Dave again in May, and we are looking forward to seeing more progress.”
