Here's what others are saying about the presentations.
"We have 25 special education and elementary teachers who have built PACE into their daily schedules to help students reduce stress and get into their optimum pace for learning each day. We've shared the information with parents and they're utilizing PACE with their children at home as well. Joni also worked individually with several children, and one in particular who has had a lazy eye, repatterned his eyes to track together. His eyes have worked together for over a year now, and he's making better progress in school.
Todd Kieffer, Principal, Pine Island, MN
"I had a group of children doing a writing exercise. One child's handwriting was unreadable. We all stopped, got into PACE and continued writing. We were all amazed that the child's writing was now readable!" Teacher, Lily Lake Elementary, Stillwater, MN
"I have been thinking and talking about Brain Gym to everyone I have run into since yesterday! My 10 year old daughter thought it was very interesting and even tried the fingertip technique at her piano lesson yesterday. It worked! She got through a tough measure in her favorite piece and played the whole thing perfectly!"
Kim, workplace seminar participant
"I was captivated by Joni. She was so interesting; especially in a one-on-one time we had later; wish she could have spoken more with the group and we could have learned more about her skills and gifts."
Retreat participant
