ABOUT US
On August 9, 2013, my husband Mike had a devastating stroke that took nearly 25% of his brain.The stroke caused right side paralysis and cost Mike the ability to speak, read and write. The charismatic man who had led and trained teams of people across the globe now needed help with the simplest of tasks.
Mike’s resilient spirit and supportive family and friends have come together to create miracles. Our journey together through Mike’s recovery inspired Braintastic Exercise. Mike always inspired others to have hope and courage in the face of obstacles and to “keep going”.

TESTIMONIALS
Lisa B. Stroke Survivor
I had a stroke and learned about Braintastic Exercise on Facebook. I have difficulty with speech and forming sentences. The brain exercises they use are great tools for speaking and they are fun to do too! In online group coaching I am also meeting other people in my same situation and that has been great. Lynette & Beth are great to work with and are very understanding.
Ian S. - Stroke Survivor
Excellent. The cognitive activities are challenging, working on improving speed and efficiency, coupled with a physical challenge. This type of therapy immediately brings attention to areas that need improvement. Braintastic Exercises are very easy to use with what I already have around the home. Cells and pathways that fire together, wire together. This is achieving exactly that. The practical activities have translated into everyday activities, so now I am constantly working and improving.
Janice C. - caregiver
My husband had a stroke about 15 years ago. It affected his ability to remember words and to think clearly. We recently completed a session of cognitive therapy exercises with Lynette. These exercises integrated a variety of tasks and helped him to use his brain more efficiently. The activities are very adaptable to ordinary life routines. In the words of my husband, "My brain gets all jumbled and tired while I am doing the exercises but I can think more clearly afterwards." I am hopeful that continuing sessions with Lynette will improve my husband's memory and overall quality of life
