Brain Blossom Program Overview


Initial Onboarding

To start, you will fill out some paperwork and meet with the doctors for a PARENT only consultation. Then a functional and clinical exam will take place, gathering information about our new practice member. We will then meet again, PARENT only, to discuss the results of the exam and discuss next steps. The first appointment with your child is 1 hour and includes both the Chiropractic Neuro-Structural Examination, InSight Scans & the functional based exam. This is the appointment where we will gather objective findings to see what may be going on with your child and where there may be gaps in development


Tilling the soil - Chiropractic

We will then begin the program with FOUNDATIONAL CHIROPRACTIC. During this time, you will be coming into the office 2-3 times per week for brain-based chiropractic care with our doctors. This will help address underlying autonomic dys-regulation and prepare the patient for upcoming pillars throughout the program. The frequency of care varies throughout the program, but will generally be 2x per week.



Gut Rehab - Holistic Nutrition

Your first visit with Jean will take place shortly after beginning the program. She will meet with you and discuss any lifestyle, diet, and supplement issues, as well as suggesting what testing might need to be done to address gut health and the microbiome. The GI map is included with the program. She will meet with you 5 times throughout the program to help guide and support you through this very important aspect of your child’s healing journey.


Brain Based Neuro Rehab & Games

The Brain Blossom Program™ is an online, at home, brain and body exercise and educational program. There are many tracks designed to engage an individual in all different stages of development and abilities. The individualized exercise tracks are intuitively designed to lead participants through exercises that are appropriately paced. Each track has multiple videos and each video increases with complexity.

It is recommended that each individual should engage in exercises and games no more than 5-10 minutes a day, three to five times a week. We help coach you on these in-office!


Family & Caregiver Support

Throughout the entire program, we want to help parents and caregivers gain a brain-based lens to understanding the child. Additionally, we think getting the support team under care is VERY important, so we offer a FREE exam for the primary caregiver, along with our family discount to ensure the family is being supported from the inside out. We also offer a monthly 15 minute chair massage!

Do you or your child struggle with a deflective behavior that is creating:

  • Difficulty in your life
  •  Difficulty in school
  •  Delayed or missed milestone
  •  Struggles to make friends
  •  Can’t deviate from routine
  •  Anger or emotional outbursts
  • Inability to focus
  •  Hyperactivity
  •  Impulsivity
  •  Anxiety
  •  Speech delays

We can help!

Who Can Benefit from the Brain Blossom Program™?

Everybody! The program is designed to reduce stress and reflective tendencies in order to help individuals engage in, communicate with, learn from and enjoy their world. The only requirement is a partner to work with to administer some of the games!


Think of development like a flower, as it is grows from a seed, everything that happens around it has an impact on what it will be when it’s fully grown. Human development is much the same. Our environments can greatly impact our most basic functions, like the way we move our body, communicate with language, and use our sensory systems. These impacted functions are what we at the Brain Blossom Program™ call Deflective Behaviors™ and they can take many forms. Deflective Behaviors™ can stem from many combinations of factors, but ultimately, they change the way a person learns, behaves, communicates, and socializes.


The Brain Blossom Program™ is designed to give specific body and brain games to help a person move on from their Deflective Behaviors™ to a healthier form of processing their environment.

How the Brain is Receiving Information

We always say, “The Brain develops like a flower!”. This is because the brain develops from the bottom to the top, back to front, inside out, and right to left. To grow it requires information from our bodies and our environment to stimulate higher brain centers to create new neural pathways. Just like a flower needs nutrients and water, your brain needs appropriate information for typical growth and development. We can measure the brain’s input, processing, and output by using non-invasive, advanced testing. This gives objective measurements to observe and remeasure for Progress.


How We Are Adapting to Stress

We are constantly adapting to stress. Stress comes in multiple different forms; physical, chemical, mental/emotional. We all have a different resilience to stress based on genetics & epigenetics. If we hit our threshold for how much stress we can handle, our bodies have to make physiological adaptations and compensations to maintain a level of function. This can impact how our brain and body function and alter how the brain processes, connects, and engages with our world. Again, we use non-invasive, advanced testing to measure and determine how we are adapting to stress.


What Tools We Are Using to Process the World and How Efficient These Tools Are

From the moment we are born, we are engaging, connecting, and learning from our world with our most efficient tool for processing. As a baby, this looks very different than a toddler or a young adult. As we grow, we gain more sophisticated and efficient tools. Sometimes things impact how the brain moves through development, and it can alter how we use these tools or which tools we primarily use. We do a series of tests to evaluate and understand how individuals are using these tools and which tool they are using primarily. Often when we see challenges, it’s because we aren’t using the most efficient tool. Behaviors are also a BIG window into the brain, both how and where we are in development.
