HEALTHY BODY, HEALTHY BRAIN, HEALTHY GRADES Summer break is just around the corner.

Many of you are selecting summer camps, vacations, and other healthy activities for your kids—to have some fun and recharge before school starts again. But what about their grades. Short of required summer reading, no-fun tutoring, healthy eating and activities—is there anything else?

The answer is Yes! Based on our own experience and recent studies, we now understand that Neurofeedback can help increase attention and working memory performance, reduce anxiety or depression, and help those with symptoms of ADHD. And much more.

THE BRAIN WAVE CENTER To find out more or for a complimentary private consultation, call us today at

941.552.4500 Gregg Sledziewski Founder/Managing Director

THERE ARE SOLUTIONS. Neurofeedback is a measured learning process that takes advantage of the brain’s ability to self-regulate and seek balance. By re-training irregular brainwave

patterns, we are assisting the brain to function better. The technique has been researched and closely studied for over 30 years.

WHAT WE DO AT THE BRAIN WAVE CENTER. Without drugs and using nationally recognized brain mapping techniques, we quickly establish brain function and initiate positive outcomes using noninvasive, customized Neurofeedback training programs.

Visit BrainwaveSarasota.com for more information and download our complimentary copy of “Neurofeedback is not New” and learn how to retrain your brain and enjoy life!
