Brain & Brawn is a program developed by Hanna Kok especially for people who want to excel in and/or through sport. It is unique program, because it integrates body, mind and spirit, and it uses predominantly movement to achieve this. Most programs only focus on developing the body and mind. The spirit is our inner-intelligence that knows how to how to create new cells, heal injuries, synchronise our muscle-performance with our breathing and heart beat, etc. Why not work with that Inner-Intelligence to improve our performance and become more efficient in our power output.?

We want to believe that our behaviour is determined by our conscious, but to a far greater extend it is steered by our subconscious mind. If our conscious intention is in conflict with our subconscious beliefs, we will always follow the subconscious. Only if we make changes on a subconscious level, will our behaviour and abilities align with the conscious intentions and we see a change that feels natural and that lasts.

We cannot access and change the subconscious with language, but we can through intentional movement, visualisations and by bringing in the spirit. Brain & Brawn is a combination of normal gym, Brain Gym®, other movement modalities combined with a goal you wants to achieve. This makes the movements intentional and extremely powerful to facilitate change on a deep level. It is so easy and quick that it almost unbelievable.

Success Stories:
Bettie Heidler, was World Champion hammer throw in 2007. At the Olympic games In 2008 she buckled under the pressure to perform. February 2009 she came to see me for one session, where we worked on dealing with the pressure. At a competition a few days later she threw better than she had done the whole of 2008. In August she won a silver medal, at the world championships, where she threw her personal best. .

Brain and Brawn is currently used in group- and individual sessions at South Downs Soccer Academy. The youngsters found that their concentration and skills have improved in their soccer AND their academic skills improved too!

Brain and Brawn has successfully been used to get athletes:
