this means about your brain!

Your life is probably flowing pretty well.

For the most part, your life flows smoothly. You manage stress well, handle your emotions effectively, and generally live life on your own terms. When you take on too much or face a significant life event, things can start to get challenging. Those moments of feeling overwhelmed or emotionally triggered can lead to difficulties that disrupt your usual calm.

These triggering moments are when you might feel some patterns of behavior that are not serving you. You might find yourself stuck in cycles and acting in ways that, no matter how hard you try to change, you just can’t!

Your pons, which is in charge of most of your automatic functions, is pretty organized.

It might not be a perfect, Marie Kondo-looking organization but it knows where things are and when and how to use them.

This gives your logical brain (your cortex) a pretty solid foundation to do all of its jobs every day. But when a big life event happens, you get triggered, or your basic needs are not met (usually when you’re tired or hungry), you seem to respond in unproductive ways. Those are the patterns we were talking about above, and they’re coming from your unproductive subconscious beliefs. These are beliefs that your subconscious picked up in your childhood from caregivers that are shaping the way you see yourself and the world around you. When those beliefs are negative, it’s easy to fall into patterns that you don’t like and don’t want for yourself, but that are hard to break consciously.

In those moments, you might experience some of the following:

Perfectionism Controlling behaviors Lack of coordination Clumsiness Lack of impulse control Sensory processing
difficulties Difficulty with
transitions Flakiness/difficulty
with commitment Difficulty paying
attention Difficulty
sitting still Trouble reading and/or
writing Poor planning and
organizational skills

The cool thing is that you can reorganize your brain and reprogram those limiting beliefs at any point in your life so that the primitive part of your brain can understand how to do its job, and you can live your best life!

FAQ

Does the cost cover the whole family?

What kind of equipment will I need?

One of the great things about our In the Cortex program (besides the fact that anyone can do it!) is that it requires little to nothing in terms of equipment. All of the program’s movements can be done using nothing other than your body. However, depending on your body weight, age, bone structure, and the kind of flooring you have, some of the movements might have you wishing for some padding. After all, we aren’t babies anymore!

Many clients find that knee pads or other cushions/padding are helpful. You don’t need to buy anything – you can get creative! We will give you a few options when you start the program. Our clients have shared numerous ways they’ve created cushions for their knees, hips, elbows, etc. with items from around the house. This need is often temporary while your body gets used to moving in a new way.

How long will it take to reorganize my brain?

Every brain is different and every brain has a different starting point. Our program gives your brain a solid foundation to build upon, with the tools you need to continue with confidence. We recommend doing at least 12 weeks (one for each module) but some people will need more time, and some people will need less.

What is the daily commitment?

Our program is designed to be simple and accessible. The maximum commitment we encourage is 20 minutes per day for 12 weeks.

After the 12-module program, participants have the option to continue on their own schedule. In the Cortex is a lifestyle program, and you will want to continue using the tools you learn for the rest of your life :)

What if I have physical limitations?

All of our exercises can be modified depending on the level of movement available to each participant. There are so many ways, both physically and mentally, to participate in this program, that nearly anything is possible. Our Brain Coaches are always available to guide you through different modifications for each movement.

What is the ideal age for this program?

The ideal age for our program is 2 years and up! Yes, that’s a big range!
The only time we take age into consideration is if a child is less than 2 years old, in which case the focus begins on the parents.
