Brain Balance Center of Oklahoma City

Isaac Johnson

Owner

Isaac Johnson is the proud owner of Brain Balance of Tulsa and Oklahoma City. His passion for helping people led him to open the first Brain Balance in Oklahoma in 2011. The individuals and parents he works with are often well-educated, have read countless books, or have tried every strategy they can find—yet they still sense that something is missing and believe there must be more they can do. With over a decade of experience, he has worked with thousands of families, helping them unlock their full potential through personalized programs that improve brain health and connectivity. Isaac is dedicated to building stronger brain connections that lead to lasting transformations in individuals’ lives. His commitment to improving cognitive, physical, and emotional well-being in others has made him a trusted resource for families in Oklahoma. We would love to connect with you to discuss how Brain Balance could help you or your student build a better brain.

Growing up, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. Being raised in a family of great educators, I saw the difference they made in individuals’ lives. Despite my desire to teach, my parents encouraged me to explore other areas of study, which led me to psychology. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a BA in Psychology and went on to earn my MA in Marriage and Family Counseling from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Throughout my schooling, I found many ways to fulfill my desire by teaching swim lessons, Sunday school classes, or substitute teaching, my passion and longing for student growth remained strong. After “exploring other areas of study,” I received my certificate and began teaching third grade. I absolutely loved it! In addition to teaching my students the curriculum, I implemented techniques and strategies in the classroom that help activate and stimulate the brain. I began to see tremendous changes in my students. As my students began to succeed, I started looking for ways to reach more students. It was at this time that my husband came home and told me about Brain Balance. I am so excited to bring Brain Balance to Tulsa. Every day at Brain Balance is an exciting one because with each new day comes a new success with our students. I feel truly blessed to get to celebrate with parents as their child begins making eye contact, interacting with other kids, succeeding at school, or even trying new foods for the very first time. It is so rewarding to have the chance to meet students’ specific needs and help them achieve more!
