Brain Balance Fox Valley
Brain Balance Has a Non-Medical Approach to Help Your Child
Brain Balance is the leading drug-free program designed to help kids improve focus, behavior, social skills, anxiety, and academic performance. Our comprehensive programming incorporates learnings from cognitive, behavioral and nutrition fields—an integrated approach that is literally redefining what’s possible.
Is something blocking your child’s social, behavioral or academic progress? Brain Balance picks up where conventional approaches leave off, going beyond the treatment of symptoms to address root causes. At Brain Balance, we’re not about coping with barriers. We’re about knocking them down, one small breakthrough at a time.
Research Shows Brain Balance is Effective
A Harvard study found that kids who participated in the Brain Balance Program saw a significant reduction in ADHD index scores, discernible changes in hyperactivity, enhanced cognitive attention, and reductions in oppositional behavior.
We are continually collaborating with world class researchers to show the efficacy of the program and reveal through data how the Brain Balance Program can help children, teens and adults improve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
Brain Balance is not a medical program and does not provide a diagnosis, nor is it covered by health insurance. Our staff are all trained and certified through Brain Balance, and can receive additional certifications as Board Certified Cognitive Coaches, and Behavior Management through outside accrediting agencies.
Is there any research behind the program?
Harvard University’s McLean Hospital completed a study which demonstrated that the Brain Balance Program is as effective as stimulant medication in alleviating ADHD symptoms among children. Cambridge Brain Sciences also collaborated with Brain Balance on a study the results of which show that children who completed three months of the Brain Balance Program displayed significant improvements in cognition, particularly in areas of memory, reasoning, verbal ability, and concentration. Research published in the Journal of Mental Health and Clinical Psychology found that the Brain Balance Program is an effective, non-drug option for improving mental well-being, specifically in areas including overall happiness, emotional functioning, anxiety and social engagement.

Our Team
Lynn & Jason Brittnacher
Owners/Executive Directors
The past five years of Lynn and Jason’s family’s life were filled with health challenges that seemed insurmountable. Leaning on God through these times allowed them to come out on the other side, stronger and more blessed than they could have ever imagined. With grateful hearts, they turned their eyes upward and asked, “What is your plan for us God? We are here to serve.” God answered them with an overwhelming need to use their talents to help individuals who struggle.
Kristie Blauert

Our Center Director, Kristie Blauert, is a Board Certified Cognition Specialist. She has her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a minor in Psychology from Saint Norbert College in De Pere, WI. After college, Kristie started working at an in-home ABA Autism Program in the Fox Valley. She worked for the program for two years as a Behavior Treatment Technician and eight years as a Behavior Treatment Therapist. During the ten years she gained experience working with children between the ages of 2-19 with Autism, ADHD, ODD/IED, and Anxiety. Kristie is proud to be an advocate for families and individuals and understands that each person is unique. Kristie's experience and heart for children make her a valuable member of our team.
Jennifer Fischer
Program Director
Jennifer Fischer is the Program Director. Jen worked as a Behavior Technician working with children through the ABA therapy program. In 2015 she graduated from Fox Valley Technical College with a degree as a Occupational Therapy Assistant. For the past 6 years, Jen has pursued the medical field working with adult and geriatric populations providing skilled therapy. The focus of her work was physical and cognitive progression through evidence-based, therapeutic treatments to promote quality of life and independence with activities of daily living. The Brain Balance program focuses on engagement of the brain and body working together, which immediately caught her attention with her background in Occupational Therapy. Since joining our staff she just had to learn so much more. She loves that at Brain Balance we dive into looking at the root cause of the challenges the kids in the program face in their day to day life. She also loves the emphasis on a holistic, non medical intervention for kids, which is so unique and truly beneficial to support them academically, socially, behaviorally and emotionally while they continue to develop into their adult years! Jen is excited to be a part of the team bringing the Brain Balance Program to the Fox Valley area and to again be working with children and their families. As Program Director, she will help them achieve growth with their goals and show them their capabilities are endless in our program!
Hayley Verbeten
Program Director
Hayley Verbeten, one of our Program Directors, graduated from UW-Green Bay with her Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a minor in Education. After graduating, Hayley had a plan to pursue her Educational Specialist (EdS) in School Psychology Degree, but God had a different plan when she was introduced to Brain Balance. She has always had a passion for the non-medical, “find-the-root-cause,” approach to helping children and fell in love with Brain Balance’s whole-brain approach! During college, Hayley was involved in human development and neuropsychology through internships and research. She worked with many children ranging in age from infant all the way into adulthood to study natural human development. When Brain Balance was introduced to her she said “If I were to describe my dream job, this would be it…and I didn’t even know it existed!” Outside of Brain Balance, you can always find Hayley with her fiance doing some hiking, reading, hanging out with their dogs, horseback riding, at rodeos, or exploring new Wisconsin landscapes (especially at their family cabin in Townsend)! Hayley is excited to be part of the Brain Balance of Fox Valley team and use her background in human development to help children reach all of their developmental milestones!
About The Brain Balance Center of Fox Valley
Brain Balance of Fox Valley is located at 1403 Arbor Way, Kaukauna WI. Located right off of 41 so we can service families in the Green Bay and Appleton areas. When we started on this journey 2.5 years ago our plan was to buy the center in Mequon and move it to our home community. One thing we have found is our timing is not God’s timing. His plan is always bigger and filled with blessings if we are patient enough to let him lead. We have been blessed with an amazing staff at our Mequon Center which is allowing Jason and I to remove ourselves from the day to day in Mequon and work a little closer to home. I will still be in Mequon a couple times a month, however our staff is so solid it allows me to focus most of my attention on our Fox Valley Center. ~ Lynn Brittnacher~

Get a deeper view into why your child struggles
The Brain Balance assessment provides you with a deeper view of your child’s struggles. During the assessment, your child’s sensory, motor and cognitive development are evaluated. This assessment helps identify areas of development that need strengthening. The reasons why a child may excel in some areas but has trouble in others will become clearer. From the results, we create a plan that helps your child overcome their struggles.
