“WOW! I’m sleeping SOOOO much better- really well now. I’m thrilled. Before Brainwave Optimization, I know that by now I would have been freaking out about the upcoming live shows, and instead, I’m just calm. I can feel a little bit of anxiety now and then if I think about it, but I’m just focusing on getting the things done that I need to, and that consumes most of my time- not the fear and the worry.

So, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for the brain training and fitting me in when you did, Glenna!”

When Kate (not her actual name) came to me, her mother was desperate.  Kate was 19 and had been suffering from depression for a year and a half.  Any of the medications prescribed to her just made things worst.  She had a racing mind and could not sleep.  This was impacting her self confidence, attention and focus and she had an issue with anger.  Now just after 10 sessions her mother says:

“Kate is feeling much better in the past week.  Anxiety is gone.  It is amazing!

She does not have to run away from herself and go out aimlessly trying to keep herself busy in order deal with her internal chaos.  Instead, she is staying home and has been sleeping really well without medication.  It’s as if her body is catching up with the sleep she has been deprived of for the last year and a half.  There is less anger now. Overall, she looks rested and at peace.”

Egbeyemi began Brainwave Optimization in April of 2007 in Calgary for anxiety and depression issues. The end result also had benefits in his martial arts training.

“All I could say was ‘wow’. It was right before a match. When I competed, I was tired but my body just kept going. All those self-defeating thoughts, I was catching myself, and just doing what I had already seen myself doing,” said Egbeyemi. “After that match, I was totally convinced that this was what I wanted to do. Not only did it change my perspective and how I felt in terms of myself and my own self-confidence, but my performance improvement was mind blowing.”

I heard about Glenna from my sister and her husband who had treatments with her and they were very impressed! My family even noticed a difference in them. I have an 8 year old boy that started worrying over everything… mostly at bedtime. When he was 3 he got lost in a store, prior to that he had no fear and after that event his personality totally changed. My sister thought that this change would be wants called a trauma to the brain.  He is a happy kid except that he is sensitive and worries a lot!

We have just finished sessions and wow, what a change.  My son now drops off peacefully to sleep every single night, the worry is gone.  Prior to BrainWave Optimization (BWO) he hated sports because he was scared of getting hurt, now you should see him play ball!!!  If his team was losing he would get very mad and angry and everyone knew it.  Now he is a very good loser and sometimes even get in and makes some jokes about himself.  Prior to BWO he would pout and whine a lot if he didn’t get his way, now he is more accepting and the whining is gone.

Even his teacher has noticed a big improvement! ! !  She says he talks more sensibly than he used to.

Jack is such a different boy! I am so so so thankful! !  Glenna, you have no idea how thankful we are! !

My mind is much quieter, and my thoughts aren’t so all over the place all the time. I am better able to control my emotions and have a serious conversation without instantaneously crying.

Overall, I am elated with my results! I am now sleeping more than 3 hours in a row, I haven’t done this for years. Yes, I still get nights where I don’t sleep well but now that I know what feeling more rested is like I appreciate it even more as I feel so horrible on those rarer days that I don’t sleep. My mind is much quieter, and my thoughts aren’t so all over the place all the time. I am better able to control my emotions and have a serious conversation without instantaneously crying. Before, I hadn’t been able to control the tears, I never wanted to cry yet they would just start rolling and as a result I felt weak and avoid conversations. I still have times where I am tired or have low motivation, but I am working on working through those days. In the end, I feel a sense of lightness and calm, and for that I am thankful.

Thank you for taking me on as a client, I appreciate the work we accomplished together and I look forward to seeing how I continue to progress!

“I have been through physical and emotional abuse in my life.

“I have been through physical and emotional abuse in my life. I have been through a lot of counseling. But there has always been remnants of anxiety and fears still affecting my life. So I came across Brain Awakening and it has changed my world. To a point that I still can’t believe the changes. The anxiety and fears are gone. The constant bad repetitive thoughts have disappeared. I am much more calm than I ever thought possible. Thank you so much for giving me my life back.”

My anxiety is gone, I was able to pull through.

My anxiety is gone and I was able to pull through, get the MRI and go to the doctors on my own. I’m also meditating and doing yoga at a studio before work in the mornings. I love it. I’ve connected with so many people now and realize the importance of friends. And! going on a hike this Sunday.

Quality of life is sooooo much better.

“Prior to Brainwave Optimization, Samantha suffered from major anxiety, depression and ADHD combined type.  Samantha had several traumatic events occur within a short time frame.  Her mother and sister were injured in a serious car accident, her family moved to a new city and she was socially bullied at the new school she attended for two years.  Samantha’s anxiety and depression got so bad she wasn’t able to attend school, and she was frequently sick with headaches and stomach aches.  Her skin had broken out in an extremely bad case of acne.  She was withdrawn and very rarely smiled, unless she had friends around to distract her.  Her appetite decreased to a point where her counselor and teachers expressed concern…

She was hospitalized for a week due to her depression and anxiety in October  2011.  Samantha was on medication from September 2011 until May 2012 when we had her try Brainwave Optimization.  We were already trying medications and therapy. We even had to put her in a special school that focused on emotional and mental illnesses instead of regular curriculum. However, we weren’t noticing any improvements.  One day I was so frustrated and tired of seeing no change or ‘a light at the end of the tunnel’, so to speak, I decided to Google “ways to help my teenage daughter”.  That’s when I discovered Brain Awakening with Glenna Reid.

The next day I called and talked with Glenna at length.  I have to admit I was a little skeptical- who wouldn’t be?  I mean, no doctor I spoke to even heard of it, much less recommended it, but I was desperate for some hope for my daughter.  When I weighed the options of how much treatments were versus how much I’d like to see my daughter happy and functioning again the choice was easy.  I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.  I’m so happy and thrilled that we took a chance.  We feel like we have our daughter back.  She is happy and excited about her future whereas before she didn’t see one.  She’s sleeping better and we’ve notice her skin has cleared up.  She is less impulsive and she seems more at ease and comfortable.  She’s able to sit still for longer, and one of the best things we’ve noticed is that she wants to be around people and not hiding out in her bedroom.

Samantha says she just feels happy and calmer.  She says she doesn’t feel depressed anymore, listens to happier music and enjoys spending time with her sisters and family.

Samantha’s sisters say the she is a difference person; she doesn’t spend as much time on the phone or in her room.  They like that their big sister likes to spend time outside playing with them.  She is just so much happier.”

“Brainwave Optimization is a very sophisticated process of balancing the hemispheres of the brain and bringing the brain waves into a normalized healthy pattern.  What I learned from reading the book from the fellow who designed the program, as well as going through the process, was when something happens to us, be it a trauma or any kind of event (even getting really busy), our brains can get out of whack and rather than naturally coming back is just stays there.  This process is super powerful for bringing it right back.  It is very sophisticated as I said…

They really work a lot with people with ADD, post traumatic stress, anger issues, addictions, sleeping difficulties and all this stuff.  Like really way out there, and I was thinking that I’m not like that. But then as I started to go out and do my kayaking and do some hiking I noticed that with all that has been going on in the last ten years with Procoach, my brain just didn’t stop.  I can be sitting down but not peaceful, you know what I mean.  So I thought this would be interesting and I am always exploring.  I did 10 sessions; it was fantastic. Better sleep instantly, even though I have never had troubles sleeping. But now, right there and sleeping, way less anxiety for sure, much more clarity, clear thinking, more peaceful, happier, more relaxed. And the most interesting outcome of doing this- my daughter completely stopped acting out.  This kind of tells you about the stress that I was carrying and how it affects the people around me, like waves around me- it was stunning.  You ask my wife what happened as a result of brain training and she would say ‘I don’t know, but I am really, really, really glad that he did it.’ … It was very successful for me.  It was very cool.”

“Prior to taking the Brainwave Optimization process at Brain Awakening, I was in a huge rut with my job. Even though I liked the kind of work I was doing, I was finding myself continually annoyed by my boss and colleagues. I wasn’t producing the kind of results I wanted to produce and was becoming increasingly disillusioned with myself and the environment at work. I tried very hard to come up with solutions to this problem and seemed to just keep hitting a brick wall. My stress level was escalating and I was becoming worried about my health.

After the Brainwave Optimization, I noticed an amazing shift in my attitude. I began to see my boss from a whole new perspective. We started working together as partners and coming up with solutions together. I am no longer weighed down with worry and stress. My energy level is now much higher and I’m very happy with the results I’m producing. It feels as if I’m in a brand new job, at a brand new company, with a brand new boss!”

“Brainwave Optimization has helped with my depression. It has come back, but only mildly and hasn’t stayed for long. In the past, when it started it was a steady slow increase in severity until I would finally go back to my doctor and go back on medication. I quit the medication one month before training and haven’t even considered going back to the doctor for depression medication.

I am also doing better with focus. I finished the writings for my first book two months ago. Managed to focus 20 hours a week for almost 6 months on pure creative thought and now I have something to show for it. I’m working on the illustrations for the book now. Overall, I now feel that I am productive and happy with my life. Thank you!!!”

Doing sessions with Glenna has been an interesting experience. I am now much more aware of what I say and how I say it to people. I catch myself starting to say things in a non-trusting or dramatic way and I stop to rethink/rephrase. I give people the benefits of the doubt now. I am not as excitable and think things through much better.

I find that I am eating less, able to put the plate away before empty it and recognizing and listening to the fact that I am full and that I don’t need to eat anything more.

Sleeping is not perfect but it is much better.  I wake in the morning with a smile on my face rather than a frown.

I have a much better relationship with my daughter.  I visited her for a week just after I finished my sessions and she even called me when I get home to commit on how the visit was much different than in the past. I am better able to listen before responding and gain a better understanding of her needs.

“I’m amazed at how well Brainwave Optimization has worked for me. I wanted to quit smoking and depression was also a problem, but I didn’t really think that could be helped. Over the last 6 years I had gone from being a fairly quick marathon runner who absolutely loved the healthy lifestyle, a man fully engaged in the addiction recovery movement with 10 years sobriety, to a two pack a day relapsing, lazy mess! I had tried to quit many times, twice with hypnosis, with two different brands of anti-depressants from my doctor and countless attempts at starting an exercise program. Obviously I was still trying but I’m sure you can understand my despair. After meeting Glenna Reid through a series of very fluky coincidences, I thought, ‘Maybe there is a God after all’… and signed up for an ‘intensive’. After just a few sessions the shift in me was so dramatic, it’s like I never smoked at all. Now, after a few months, I’m enjoying a ‘clean and sober’ healthy lifestyle again and moving forward, not backward, with my life. Thank you!!!”

“Hi Glenna, I had a fabulous weekend. I came into this training expecting and looking for that BIG change. I figured being honest and open was critical to resolving and moving on. My re-rated self? Material things just don’t matter anymore. The weight issue I figure is more centered on being ‘healthy’; I believe that will fall into place now. I saw that the weight issue is just a sabotage of the real me hiding under all those layers!!…I’m back!!

I will say I am a 10 out of 10 for happy and am expecting a 10.5 real soon!  I feel I am sleeping more peacefully, not really remembering dreaming but I am aware of falling asleep.  A few final words on that- I love my life, the people in it and my job/store.  I am very thankful for hearing about Brain Awakening, and the rest, as they say, is history.”

I did wait until 19 days after the sessions to have a glass of wine and I am really happy to let you know that I am in my 29th day as a NON-SMOKER!!!  I still get a few cravings, but so far, so good.  I seem to wake up more than usual while sleeping, but maybe that will change.  I am very happy with the results thus far, so thank you.  I know it won’t be my last session.

“I feel great! Much more relaxed. I use to feel that I was fighting a stupor, now I feel relaxed and alive. I also had a miraculous healing on my right shoulder/arm. I have had this pain in my shoulder for over 10 years. I thought it was just something that I had to live with. Now it is gone!!! WOW!!”

“Well, I thought I would let the group know where Brainwave Optimization has taken me on a personal level. As a few of you know I dealt with an extreme head injury almost 4 years ago by being hit by a car on my road bike while training for an ironman triathlon. This accident sidelined me for so many years before I found Brainwave Optimization. I did not think I would ever race a triathlon again or even live a normal life by the way I felt day after day after the accident.”

“I am happy to tell you on March 3, 2013 I competed and completed the toughest triathlon on this planet, and it was even tougher on this day due to the water conditions. The Escape From Alcatraz triathlon is a swim, bike, run race that takes place in San Francisco, California. It happens once per year and is so popular that you have to put your name in a lottery to get in each year. The swim portion is jumping off a boat with 2,000 other athletes just outside Alcatraz Island. If you have ever been to Alcatraz Island, just picture swimming from there to the main land. Now on this day, picture 6 foot swells and a current that takes you towards the Golden Gate Bridge before you know it. Oh yeah, and water temperatures of 52 degrees. It does not get any easier once the swim is done, but at least you are not going to drown on land.

This is a very tough race without a brain injury.

If it was not for Brainwave Optimization, there is no possible way I could have done this race last Sunday. I could not have put the training in need to complete it. This technology is more amazing than people really know. I know that this is only the start, and as my brain heals it will get better and better. Keep up the great work out there people- you never know where this will take someone. It took me to a place at times I never thought I would get to.”

“On Nov. 7 2011, I started Brainwave optimization with Glenna Reid in Calgary Alberta. Two and a half years ago I was out for a training ride on my road bike getting ready for Ironman Triathlon Arizona in November of 2009.   That dream soon ended as I was hit from behind by a car and the impact sent me hard to the ground striking my head on the pavement and cracking my helmet in half.  I have not been able to race since due to post concussion.  I spent many months off work and a lot of time in bed watching the world spin around me….

My life had changed so much that I really did not know who I was any more.  Little did I know that even though I returned to my feet after a few minutes, I would suffer with a head injury for over 2 years.  All the medical testing came up with no objective results, but I knew there was way more going on than the medical profession could find.  Once I realized that I would have to seek the help I needed on my own  I discovered Brainwave Optimization.  Feeling this could be one of the last chances I had at getting better I booked the sessions of Brainwave Optimization with Glenna Reid. After researching this procedure for a month I felt this could be a very promising procedure to get me back to normal.  After the first day of Brain Training I felt results. I slept great that night and my hunger was under control.  As the sessions went on my head became clearer and clearer and my energy level improved very fast.  When I returned to work the following week, I found my concentration was better and I was more productive in my job.  It has been four weeks since Brainwave Optimization and I only feel better and better each week as Glenna described would happen.  One of the biggest improvements is in my ability to train at the intensity I once trained at before the accident.  I am looking forward to being able to complete a triathlon and compete in road bike races in 2012 thanks to Brainwave Optimization.  Thanks Glenna for the amazing work you do to help restore people back to a normal.”

“I went to see Glenna Reid (www.brainawakening.ca) here in Calgary for the 1 week Brainwave Optimization intensive at the end of April, 2011. I had received an incredible testimonial from Susan Kenney, one of our BodyMind Nutritionists, of how these sessions had helped her end the decade long journey with intense migraines and vertigo.

Going into these sessions I had already been practicing meditation for almost a decade, journeyed through countless books, courses, and coaches in search of the keys to inner stillness and contentment. In the glimpses of experiencing these two states using nutrition and all aspects of work in Body, Mind and Spirit, I experienced ever increasing joy and fulfillment in life.

After the first session with Glenna my mind was completely still. I was driving around after the session thinking to myself ‘Where are all my busy thoughts?’ It was as if I was in the middle of a weekend long silence retreat… except I was in my car driving.

By the middle of the week I was sleeping deeply, had a complete shift in my awareness, and from waking to going to sleep was completely present and content with life.

I initially thought this ‘may wear off’, but instead it got stronger with each passing day. The ‘reset’ that I experienced created a clear mind that was no longer cluttered and revved. Instead of having too many thoughts hitting my mind all the time, now I experience, for the first time in my life, a still and quiet mind.

Throughout the BodyMind Nutrition program, and as all of our teachers here at The BodyMind Institute also teach, if we have a ‘happy gut, we have a happy mind’. In doing all the parts to create a balanced, healthy gut, body and mind, I still felt there was a missing key with the mind, something perhaps that technology or a special meditation process or teaching could offer a solution to. I know I have found one of these ‘super keys’, which is why I wanted to share this with you.

My experience with the Brainwave Optimization is something I feel everyone must experience at least once. For me it was like hitting the ‘reset’ button for my mind, and now I can effortlessly feel the continuous state of inner peace and joy that I know you and everyone you know desires.

Give yourself the gift of this experience; it is a gift of a lifetime!

Thank you Lee for bring this to the world!”

“My son wants brain training for Christmas. When I asked what he wanted he asked for this. I thought I should tell you why.”

My son has autism and struggles with O.C.D (obsessive compulsive disorder). We first experienced Brainwave Optimization in Richmond BC with remarkable results. My son had to repeat simple things (like sitting down) over and over again. He felt trapped and emotionally overwhelmed. Simple things like getting dressed would and could take hours as he had to repeatedly put things on and off. We tried many medications with little to no results. I was very worried for his safety as he would repeatedly say he wanted to die, a very scary place to be for a parent. The first time he went to the brain training he got up and sat down at least 20 times, but he settled and started to relax. It was amazing to see him completely relax, and he would often fall asleep during the sessions. The last session, he walked in and sat down, did the session and got up, no repeats. The gentleman running the training commented on it and my son got a big smile on his face, went back, sat down, got up, laughing the whole time. He made eye contact and was happy. It was the best feeling a parent can have. Believe me, nothing is better in this world. It was the best money I ever spent.

His O.C.D. has presented itself again, and even though it won’t fit under the tree, it will probably be the present he will love the most.”

“Brainwave Optimization is something that I had really never heard about before my father’s family friend mentioned it to me. It seemed a particularly abstract concept at first, but after trying it for myself I am convinced of its benefits. Through a process of audio stimuli and controlled mediation, my concentration has improved quite dramatically. It helped me channel my own inner strength, and to filter out the negative voices in my mind that prevented me from realizing my goals. It assisted me in being able to channel my concentration and channel the full strength in my own mind to realize my full potential. This was done with my own effort and the assistance of Brainwave Optimization.

Prior to Brainwave Optimization I was not able to hold down a job and I was failing in school.  Now I am happy to report that my midterm marks are all in the 80’s, which exceeds expectations.

I would highly recommend it as a therapy for anyone struggling with concentration problems and issues and performance anxieties as I was.”

“For years I have had headaches at least once or twice a week. I would rate these headaches at an 8 or 9 on a scale from 1-10, and they would last all day. Just over two months ago my mother got really sick and it was a very stressful time in my life. This stress triggered full on headaches every day, all day. This lasted for six weeks, day after day. I went to my doctor and he sent me for a brain scan. He said the brain scan was normal and he could not see any reason for my headaches. After another 2 weeks I went online and found Glenna Reid, owner of Brain Awakening. After the first Brainwave Optimization session I noticed that I felt better. On day two I had a headache so bad that I couldn’t stop crying. On the third day I was headache free. Each day after that I would wake up in the morning and wait for the headache to be there, but it never came. My husband and friends would ask how I was doing and how my headache was that day. I would stop, notice and say ‘no headache’. The pain in my neck was totally gone. After 60 days of daily headaches, I have now been headache free for 7 days. I also noticed that I am sleeping soundly, I wake rested, and have so much more energy during the day.

I am truly grateful for meeting Glenna and the contribution she has made to me, my family and my life.

My brain feels awakened!!

Glenna, I am so HAPPY that my brain feels awakened, and that I continue to see and feel balance and harmony. I am very grateful to Yvea for suggesting that I come to see you as it has made me a better person. Thank you.”

“I was first made aware of the Brainwave Optimization intensive from my close friend Lars Gustafsson. He actually begged me to go because of my migraine headaches I’ve had for over 30 years. Even after working with the Headache Assessment clinic at the Foothills Hospital for a few years nothing had changed.

So after a consultation with Glenna I began a 1 week intensive. My initial reaction was ‘Ok, this is different’, but I went on and completed the sessions. That was in December of 2011. Fast forward to today, May 2012. I was talking with my wife and suddenly realized that I hadn’t had a headache in months. I hadn’t noticed any drastic changes in the way I felt and really never gave it a second thought until now.

I knew deep down that there had to be a better way than prescription drugs and was glad I met Glenna Reid.

Thanks very much for being so supportive and professional.”

Wow, just wow. 🥰 We have seen a remarkable change in our son and how he can regulate his reactivity!!! He stopped himself from having a blow out twice this weekend.  He has slept in his own bed the last two nights (thank goodness) and went to bed at a reasonable hour!

Thank you so much. 🙏  I look forward to follow up sessions in the new year.  ♥️
