My Experience with Brain Integration Technique- Part 2- My Early Results as a Practitioner


From the very beginning, the results of BIT have

amazed and surprised me! 


I previously took an opportunity to share a personal testimonial of my original BIT experience— the results of receiving BIT myself. However, it is one thing to receive the work and expertise of someone else for yourself, it is another thing to learn to use a modality to help other people and watch the outcomes unfold! Now, I’d like to share a bit about my first experiences with using BIT to help others.


After working more than 20-years in the health care industry as a physical therapist I found myself continually frustrated that I couldn’t help people in the ways, and to the degrees that I really wanted to. I have watched so many people struggle to physically recover because they were also struggling with all types of cognitive or emotional issues.

When I first began studying Brain Integration Technique it felt like a whole new world had been opened up to me. It was so different from the treatment approaches I had taken as a health care provider over the past decades. As I learned to step out of my comfort zone, I began to discover what could happen when I approached the old problems in a whole new way. Each experience created such a sense of joy and wonder that gave me the confidence to take another step forward. It wasn’t long before I was all in.


Even During Training I Was AMAZED By the Results of BIT

During my initial training, as I began to practice on friends and family, so many fascinating things happened that helped to strengthen my confidence in this modality. The event that most stands out is one that really shook me out of my skepticism and convinced me that BIT was the real deal.


A couple months after my fist BIT class we were backwoods camping when my friend suffered an unexpected allergic reaction after eating a peach. Her eyes swelled, throat felt tight, and she could not stop coughing. She took some Benadryl and I quickly performed a BIT allergy balance for peaches. Her reaction immediately stopped progressing and began to resolve a few short minutes later. At the time this result was so surprising and so obvious that we just stared at each other in shock. I could no longer deny that Brain Integration Technique worked. I was sold.


While most other examples from my early days practicing BIT are not quite that dramatic, they are equally amazing. Some of these include.

  • Friends and I were mountain biking when one of them had a near slip off a sharp ledge which caused a panic attack. We were miles from the car and she felt that she was unable to get back on her bike to finish the ride. She was physically shaking and near tears. We sat on some rocks on the side of the trail and worked through a series of balances to address her anxiety. Minutes later her anxiety was greatly reduced. She went on to not only complete the ride, but thoroughly enjoyed it and completed many technical obstacles she wouldn’t ordinary attempt. This is NOT typical after such a scare!

  • Multiple clients reported experiencing a significant decrease in brain fog related to their COVID and chronic Lyme recovery.

  • Improved “big-picture’ awareness that is required of a business owner. During my training I recruited several of my friends for the required case studies. Many of them are small business owners and entrepreneurs. We were able to tailor parts of the protocol to focus on honing their organizational and executive function skills. They all reported an improved “big-picture” awareness, and problem solving and organizational skills that are required of a business owner. Several reported a diminished need for perfectionism, and were able to “stop making things so complicated.” Many saw long awaited breakthroughs in their businesses.

  • My husband hurt his shoulder on a backpacking trip, resulting in a lot of pain and difficulty moving his arm. When he returned home we did some muscle reactivation (BIT) on him. He experienced immediate decreased pain and fully restored motion.


Amazing Results Every Day!

As I completed my training and began to work with clients, I continued to see amazing results. Usually they were the changes we were looking for, but often not ones that would be immediately related to cognitive processes- unexpected happy side effects of BIT. How fun!


Examples of changes that I have saw in my clients during that time include:

  • A client had been unable to tolerate red wine for decades. However, she wanted to use it in a beef roast recipe for a special occasion and asked me to address this with BIT. A few weeks later she reported that not only was she able to tolerate it in the dish, but continued on to enjoy the rest of the bottle without any problems.

  • Another young women had difficulty focusing her right eye and required specialty prism glasses lenses from the Mayo Clinic. A couple days after we completed the eye muscle portion of the protocol she found that she was not longer able to comfortably able to see out of these glasses and had to go back to her old ones with her “normal” lenses! Her eyes were now tracking together! She was overjoyed and was able to read a physical book for the first time in years.

  • Clients often reported an improved ability to drive at night after working through the eye section of the protocol.

  • A young women had been suffering from the severe symptoms of Autonomic Nervous System dysfunction as a result of an unfortunate combination of a concussion and COVID for the past couple years and was experiencing a recent exacerbation that included diarrhea, vomiting, fainting, anxiety, and panic attacks so severely that it prevented her from really engaging in school or social functions. She had completed the BIT protocol in the past, but now we worked specifically on vagus nerve and the autonomic nervous system. The results were great- significantly reduced symptoms within days. She is now off at college and doing well.

  • One client struggled with blood pressure that increased to dangerous levels in certain situations, such as before medical appointments. After completing some of the BIT protocol and focusing specifically on this issue, her blood pressure was consistently reduced to “normal” levels in these situations and her sense of anxiety was decreased.


Great Results- Every Day

These above examples are some of my early experiences practicing BIT. Even now, every day practicing Brain Integration Technique is an opportunity to witness an amazing and joyful and change in someone's life.


After years of working in healthcare, I am so grateful for the opportunity to offer this wonderful modality. It is a tremendous gift and a privilege to be able to use my skills and help the people of our community in this way!
