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.

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~
