While sitting in on several of Dr. Taylor’s seminars, I have noticed how her listeners always give rapt attention, eagerly absorbing what she is presenting. She has a way of making complicated matters understandable and even dynamically interesting. She gives abundant food for thought and life-changing insights.

Thank you for presenting such a wonderful seminar, The Brain Program. Through this information, I have learned that I have a right frontal lead and that I am a high introvert with visual preference. I must say that I have been tempted to greet people with the very sentence, "Hello, I’m Wendy, I’m a right frontal, high introvert and visual." I am so excited to find out this information about myself. Now I have permission to be me. The information has helped me to embark on an exciting journey of self-discovery. I feel as if a weight has been lifted.
Thank you for such a wonderful weekend. I certainly will pass along this information!

The Brain Program had an immediate and powerful impact upon my life. I had practiced Homeopathic medicine and psychotherapy in Palos Verdes, California for the past ten years. The information that Dr. Taylor so magically teaches in two whirlwind days, regarding innate brain giftedness, provides you with awareness as well as tools for changing your life.
If it’s a better life you need, it will be improved by the seminar. If you have a great life, the seminar will improve that, also. I am now viewing my family and friends in a more evolved and peaceful light. Arlene has identified and unleashed another of my passions in my search for the truth of my life. Thanks and praise for her accomplishments that have allowed her to design and present the most unique seminar I have ever attended.
—Dr. Sherry Greenberg
