Brain Integration Session Reviews
Victoria age 15 – I was in fourth grade when I got the brain integration done. I was really struggling in school. I could not read even half as well as the other kids in my class. My math skills were horrible and I could spell about as well as a first grader. The teachers were talking about holding me back a year. That summer was when my mum took me to the brain integration. The next school year, everything was so much better.
I began improving with everything I had struggled with. The letters in books stopped moving around so much, and I could make out words easier and faster. By the end of the year I not only could read at my level, but it was something I enjoyed.
Math was something that I could actually do, and it motivated me to try harder. By the middle of the year I was in the top math class in my grade. Now I am in tenth grade. I am a high honors student, and number 4 in ranking in my grade. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is struggling. Thank you!

Elizabeth age 6, 2014 – I just had my 6 year old daughter diagnosed with dyslexia. I decided to take her to see Yolanda over the summer to help her so she was all ready for the start of school. It has only been a few weeks since I had taken her to do the brain integration.
I can already see a change in her attitude and self confidence. She absolutely loves Yolanda and the time she got to spend with her. She was not at all scared or uncomfortable in any way. It was a most pleasant experience.
I have gone to other people that have done brain integration in the past but would highly recommend Yolanda. She has much more experience and through tat experience has been able to fine tune her skills and has a lot more to offer through that experience. Melanie- Utah

Ardis Hoffman – I love having an integrated brain! I did not have a specific brain/health issue that I was trying to resolve. I historically had a very active brain and it was hard to slow it down or quiet my thoughts. This made sleeping a challenge. I like to be very active and I was often feeling “scattered” or “on the edge”.
Since my Brain Integration sessions I notice how my brain feels more peaceful and I am able to really focus and have direction with my thoughts. I still have moments of high activity but I am no longer overwhelmed!
I highly recommend this treatment to anyone who has experienced a “scrambled” feeling and would like to experience more balance. In particular, Brain Integration is great for anyone who is living on the Autistic Spectrum.

Cal age 8 – He has reading difficulties, can read at grade level but cannot breakdown unfamiliar words, social difficulties that present mostly in school setting, writing symptoms, spelling is far below grade level.The following is an email from Cal’s mother a few weeks after Brain Integration. They live in Long Island:
Things have been going well for Cal. He says he feels different but he cannot define what he is feeling.
He has been showing signs of maturity which will benefit him in the fall when he returns to school. I believe he had a great emotional release from his previous struggles during integration.
I don’t sense the sadness he would have in the past. His coordination has improved tremendously, his spirit is light. He is much better at expressing himself and displaying a much sharper sense of events happening around him.
He will be having a Davis Correction. This will help address his focus with the dyslexia. His is not as cooperative with his school work since we returned, but, I feel this is part of his new found self expression. I actually am viewing it in a positive way and trying to give him the space to express frustration and emotion, but trying to keep him on track at the same time. The Davis Correction should help him to focus his mind’s eye. That also works with opening the pathways of the brain. Between the two techniques I have no doubt he will have the tools to enjoy school and succeed at learning.
I had told you of Cal’s communications with what he and I call his “other world.” He has done this since he was a small baby, even before he could speak this language. He would speak to others that I could never see, and sing songs in languages I could not decipher. I sensed from him that he was afraid the brain integration might make that world disappear. When we arrived in Colorado Springs on our way home, I asked him if that was the way he felt. He said no, but I really believe he was worrying that would happen. So, I said to him “How are things in your ‘other world’?” He smiled big and said, “Things are better in both worlds.”
My husband and I discuss every day the changes we see in Cal. We both see subtle changes as well as profound changes. Some are wonderful and some are more frustrating. The frustration we feel seems to be from his leap into maturity that has happened over night, his metamorphosis from the immature eight year old into a much more mature and aware eight year old.
We know the latter will serve him better in life. We’ll certainly take it and help him deal with these changes as they come. Thank you so much for the work you have done with him. You have changed his life forever, for this we are eternally grateful to you. Many blessings!

RR age 58 – June 2012 – Things have been extremely busy as my partner/leader fell off a roof and broke his leg. Since that time I have been his legs and a part of his brain. He was hospitalized for 10 days so I did much of the follow through on planning, projects and continuity of business.What a hoot it has been as I have been behaving to a much more heightened degree of accomplishment. These are some pieces of my realizations. In the past, I would have been overwhelmed at what was happening in my own life. That alone has been busy with many opportunities to shut down.
Instead, I have been handling them with a rational decision making process which I had only envisioned before. Over the years, I have done many courses and programs for self improvement and still had been unable to ” make them work” There has always been something that kept me from fully assimilating what I learned and “knew “to be true.
(I attended a few conference type meetings and trainings in EFT. I did buy the CD DVD set years ago and still have them. I have done some work with EMDR Eye Movement, Desensitization Response, The Emotion Code, The Healing Code and dabbled in Psych K, Everything is Energy, while doing the CD’s of Wayne Dyer, Morgana Rae, and many others. A lot of information was taken in and not fully utilized……yet.
Since the Brain Integration and Cranial work, I have been more methodical and operating at a much more effective and efficient level.This has been a strong “A-HA” which I have regularly. With the added duties from the company management level, I now have multiples of the “overwhelming shutdown” occurrences and they do not shut me down.
Instead, I am able to think on them, digest and then take action of some sort to move them through the process. I liken it to eating the elephant, one bite at a time. The oversized situation shrinks each time I take an action and the resulting satisfaction of doing that, makes me smile and marvel at my integrated self.
The elephant now has holes in it as I digest the parts. It does not matter right now that it still exists, only that I am chipping away at it, bit by bit. (Later) Things continue to be processed and the elephant is getting smaller all the time. I continue to think of things needing to be done and ways to get them done. It is fun to be playing in the way I have envisioned for so long. Although roofing and life have been VERY busy, I am able to separate them into manageable tasks and complete them fairly easily. Thanks for your work!

CG age 60, Nurse – July 6 2012 – What I have noticed since the brain integration is I have more confidence and energy. I had a wonderful first day back at work. Even though it was long it made no difference. The emotional burdens I seemed to carry before are not there.
I have noticed I don’t back down now, not with my husband and not with others. Pretty cool really, to not be afraid of conflict and confrontation. Now that I am aware, I want to develop better skills to communicate, to build relationships and compromise as appropriate. I speak more directly, not avoiding the truth of what I want or feel.
It is a little curious for me if I come off harsh. Oh, I also laugh easier. I was not laughing much in the past several years. I am grateful.

The victory and success of a 9 year old boy named Caleb Jensen – Caleb sat by my bedside for about 1 hour and just talked that night after the first 2 hour session, it was the first time for such a long conversation. He spoke one sentence 14 words long. Complete and correct. His usual sentences were the average of 3 – 4 words. He had a great interest in throwing and catching smaller balls than previously. His reflexes appeared faster. He had one day he kept pressing on his forehead. Something felt off to him or different.
Caleb said” I’m already getting bigger!” He stands up for himself verbally. Socially he is more assertive. He has a posture of confidence; is happy and more assertive emotionally; is participating more athletically. Something physical around his eyes seemed to have shifted. He is much more willing to do chores. Caleb gets more accomplished. He is less apprehensive with other children. He is happy on his basketball team.
Two years ago he was very frustrated. ” I can do it!” comes out of him a lot!. He gets up better in the morning; loves adding, independently finished his math. Caleb read to me for 45 min. after his brain integration session. I thought it would be more of a struggle. He is more determined. His grandma invited him to read to her, and he read an unfamiliar book. In the past he wouldn’t do anything at this grandma’s request especially academic. He caught a pass and scored a basket in his game. He is much more verbal with his opinions about anything and everything. He talks and talks and talks. He is getting better about explaining to someone what he is learning about. Answers to questions are coming quicker. Update on Caleb: Attending school now and continuing to learn and grow. Parents are very happy.

Comments from the mother of a 5 year old boy diagnosed with autism – After 3 Brain Integration sessions : “He is talking more; cheerful and pleasant; good eye contact; seems to understand better”.
Robin Finkel and grandson Riley – Riley’s problems started with an ear infection which responded well to the Craniosacral sessions. Then an intestinal difficulty was corrected with the same good results. His grandmother also said that when Riley would get in a 5 year old “cranky mood”, just one session would clear it right up. Robin is a “firm believer” in the Craniosacral and Brain Integration sessions, as she has experienced it for herself.
As a horse breaker, she has also been given Muscle Integration for injuries to her neck, legs, and back, restoring health and her self confidence. In fact, her enthusiasm has brought other members of her family into this work.
Robin’s stepdaughter benefited and her daughter’s life changed dramatically after Craniosacral sessions for a head injury. Robin can’t say enough wonderful things” about the total program and enjoys “spreading the good news”.

Comments from a mother of a 12 year old boy – He didn’t have any meltdowns! He made an effort with his homework; school work seems easier; continuing with no violent episodes; improvement in agreeable responses to correction; hasn’t had any situations of vandalism.
LJ Age 38, male – Through my life I have experienced more trauma than most; from mental trauma to physical trauma. I now know that this trauma has in fact had a major impact on my brain’s ability to function normally. I was knocked unconscious several times during high school football, experienced head and neck trauma from four car accidents, a 400 pound stage prop hit me on the head, I was in a wave runner accident which severely damaged my right arm requiring several surgeries to repair. I experienced a good deal of social and mental impacts during high school and the following years.
I have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and depression. I have been treated with various medications and in and out of counseling many times. During the seven years prior to receiving Brain Integration I accumulated debt, declared bankruptcy, accumulated more debt. I became more and more socially reclusive and less and less able to function, even with day-to-day activities. A car accident in August of 2005 which caused significant head trauma and a crushed vertebra, probably put me over the edge.
I could not think clearly, my reasoning skills were faulty. I was simply making very poor decisions, if any at all. I hated people, and wanted nothing to do with society. People would drive me crazy. I didn’t want to deal with anything; I was despondent and depressed. Being aware that my 10 year old nephew had Brain Integration Therapy my parents suggested that I receive the therapy also. This occurred December 12-14 ,2006. I received 15 hours of Brain Integration and 2 hours of Cranial Therapy.
The results were nothing short of miraculous.
Results are best stated by my parents as follows: Our son has had many traumatic experiences and Yolanda Del Hierro, who performed the therapy, attributes his mental deficiencies to much of the above physical and mental traumas in his life.
Since having Brain Integration we have seen a significant change in L’s demeanor, he has no bouts with depression and no anxiety has presented itself, which was the catalyst for feelings of depression and thoughts of suicide. His ability to reason has greatly improved, and his thought processes are clear and rational. He is much calmer and says he feels like great burden has been lifted. There has been a momentous change in his tolerance for other people and he has become more patient and understanding. We have noted that he is feeling a great deal of remorse for poor choices and mistakes of the past, but are amazed and thrilled with overall mental changes.

Brain Integration.....
I had suffered with vertigo for the past 2 1/2 years and done everything to mitigate the dizzying and disorienting effects of this trauma using natural methods. I felt this was my body's response to fear and new circumstances evolving in my life patterns but it was really becoming quite serious and needed immediate attention. This problem had become so serious that I had lost my center of balance and could not exercise by running on the treadmill. Through Brain Integration I have been able to release old unknowing trauma and childhood dynamics and I am able to run on the treadmill again. As a result over the last 6 months, the vertigo has become non existent.
I am so thankful for Yolanda's wisdom and training and skilled touch in this valuable healing modality and I recommend her highly to others.

I just finished the whole session with Yolanda and I want to share that for me, even though the work is very subtle it can be life changing in the effects it has. I noticed right after we started that fear as I had known it was gone. I wasn’t afraid to do things! I can see a future of infinite possibilities ahead. I no longer let my emotions get to me. I still experience them but they, or I should say the negative emotions leave as fast as they come.
It is profound, yet very subtle changes… and I am so grateful I took the time and invested the money to do it.

Thank you Yolanda!!

Testimony from Hannah Jackson
Remedial Teacher in Waldorf School System
August 4, 2019 Carbondale, CO
Yes, I feel your work was very helpful for students.
I am an Extra Lesson and Waldorf remedial teacher. Even though the work I do is for body/ brain integration, I found that paring it with Yolanda’s work really allowed for the work we both do to progress more quickly and go deeper. She also helped release any cranial compressions, tensions or other hindrances which may prevent the full integration of early reflexes and eye tracking and convergence, which affect all academic learning skills. Yolanda helped my son and several students I worked with in the Waldorf School. She has a wonderfully calm way about her and is able to help children feel safe and calm too. I highly recommend her work.

I believe brain integration therapy is an tremendously helpful treatment. The treatment helped me reprogram subconscious beliefs. I believe this helped balance my mood. My behavior after just the first treatment was more “smooth” and not rushed and jagged. I no longer have migraine headaches after doing craniosacral. This is amazing because I have had migraines since I was about four. I thought I would live my entire life getting sick once a week. I could tell there would be a big difference because I went through a detox. There was CSF being blocked in my neck that was likely connected to the headaches and behavioral issues.
I remember left and right more easily. My social skills are better. I was able to walk on campus without fear. Whereas before it was an uncomfortable environment. My energy is different and much higher. I was able to quit old habits very quickly after the treatment. I changed my diet to eat less animal products. I did not feel the need to return to my old stress coping skills. I started waking up in the morning and working out. I became focused on getting more toxins out of my body.
I believe my confidence is more holistic and deep instead of being a faux cover of confidence. Instead of being based on achievements and looks, it is more like, “I am good because I simply am”. This should help with my anxiety.
I am able to let go of the past. My mind can now easily drop old thought patterns that did not serve me. This is huge because having negative thought loops was a big part of my behavioral problems. I believe this will help me with test taking.
In addition, I gained a radically different perspective this year. Having time off and researching allowed me to gain a different perspective on life overall, so many of my problems were diminished because of this as well.
Brain integration helped solidify changes and patterns. I still day dream, but I think a far dose of that is healthy. Yolanda is awesome. I believe brain integration is an incredibly effective, non time consuming treatment that actually gets to the root of the problem. This was much more effective for me than talk therapy, which tended to only increase negative thought loops. This therapy broke the thought loops, so I could create new ones.
Thank you for your support! You have been the most helpful therapist I have ever gone to! Thank you for working with Anna Lee. I trust that she has my best interest in mind. I will try to keep you updated and have a clearer picture of what is going on!

Richard - 70 yrs - Sante Fe, NM July 7 2021
I have noticed subtle change in my thinking. My mind does not wander as much when I focus on a subject. My thinking seems clearer. My memory is sharper. My memory has always been excellent, but over the last maybe 4 years I have noticed an inability to remember names, words, incidents. After our session, it seems like my memory is functioning better. I have also noticed that my balance is a little off, which may be related to not having the correct glasses per my prescriptions yet.

After having a brain integration session with Yolanda, my three year old granddaughter, who was struggling to form words and communicate clearly is making amazing progress.
She is speaking much more clearly and even beginning to sing. She is participating more with her classmates and is more relaxed and joyful.
Her 6 year old sister was having difficulty with her balance. She would, on occasion, fall while playing for no explainable reason. After her session, her balance is greatly improved and she reports feeling that life in general is easier for her.
I am very pleased to witness their progress as each week brings more positive results for them.

Silent Retreat Session Reviews
Silent Walking Meditation 3 day Retreat
Peggy Meehan – I have attended several silent retreats with Yolanda Del Hierro and found each on to be a profoundly peaceful and rewarding experience. Life can be very hectic and stressful. Each retreat has enhanced my ability to slow down and be in touch with my inner self and experience the beauty of life. I now use the tools Yolanda teaches in every aspect of life to my great benefit. I will continue to attend silent retreats and highly encourage others to take time to experience the joy and peace that is intrinsic to each retreat.

A Powerful Experience
Teresa Dunwell – Silent retreats are one of the most profound experiences of silence that I seek and savor in my life. A positive experience of retreat will balance and restore my natural energies and lead me to new insights and direction. I can honestly say that my silent retreat with Yolanda was just this.
I found myself releasing childhood trauma in the very core of my being through my back and lower extremities and as this is the core of my being and my center and foundation it became a very powerful and life changing shift.
Through this silent retreat I was able to address and transform this pain in a very powerful experience of great healing, knowing that it was being held lovingly by its participants in the silence. I am grateful to have shared in this powerful weekend of Yolanda’s sensitivities, and guidance.

Gone Quiet
by Jeanne Soulsby Oct 2014
Ssssh, be quiet. Make a choice to not speak or make eye contact with anyone for a day. Try it.
Pull yourself inward, look to the center of who you are and rest in that still point just behind your heart.
I recently spent a day at a silent meditation retreat in a home that sits at the base of a 13,000’ mountain; a serene setting where soft grasses bleed into the natural landscape of gamble oak and sage brush. Early fall snow lay across the twin peaks like a shawl and corduroy colors of rust and gold spot the hills.
The day began with breath work and quieting ourselves as we sank into a guided meditation. With eyes closed I opened and closed my mouth several times, stretching the jaw in an attempt to loosen the tight, clenched position I normally hold. I dropped my shoulders, rested my hands on my knees, softened my hips and sighed into the day.
We sat for thirty minutes in reflection then moved outside, walking in slow meditative steps for the next thirty minutes. We did this rotation for eight hours. The facilitator, a petite, soft spoken woman, would occasionally interrupt our solitude with a reading or music ranging from the sounds of India to country western, all with a message of silence. Concentrating on the sound she introduced into our muted world helped me focus on something other than the random thoughts that insisted their way into my mind. I have an active mind that races with ideas and thoughts spill continuously from my mouth. I talk a lot. I interrupt people and finish their sentences because they aren’t making their point quickly enough. I talk out loud when I’m alone. In my car, when I pull up to a stop light, my mouth moving in monologue, I bounce and sway so anyone looking my way will think I’m singing along to music. When my dog was still alive I felt justified talking out loud in order to include him. But now that he is gone, I just talk to the walls.
I believed my challenge in participating in this retreat would be my obsessive need to talk but, as it turned out, not talking was the easy part. My difficulty lay, first, in adjusting my breathing; inhaling and exhaling from the diaphragm and not from the chest as is my habit. I have been told that breathing from the chest represents a sense of fight or flight, a common theme throughout my life. So I concentrated deeply on the rise and fall of my belly button, pulling the air up through my lungs to be exhaled and released.
The second challenge was quieting that busy mind, slowing the gerbils that race frantically, their wheel spinning at Mach speed. As I walked meditatively, slowly placing one foot down, starting with the heel and rolling the foot onto the ground until it made strong contact with the earth, then the next foot, all while concentrating on “correct” breathing, the mind chatter began to subside. I gradually moved from the doing of walking and breathing and silencing to the ease of simply being.
By midmorning my emotions broke. We were being guided through an indoor walking meditation; my walking space limited to a ten foot area in the kitchen. The woman on the CD was oriental, her voice a whisper as she led us through thirty minutes of deepening our experience. Stepping with the right foot we were instructed to acknowledge silently that we were uneasy in our body. With the left foot we acknowledged that that was okay. With each step we dove deeper, encouraged to allow fear, anger and aloneness to surface and release. I muffled sobs and continued moving forward, gently, so gently placing heel to toe on the cool terra cotta tiles.
Fears emerged, remnants of age-old beliefs; the not-good-enoughness or, perhaps, millennia of judgments formed from the first apple picked in that Garden at the beginning of time. Another step – it’s okay. The right foot; a small internal voice cries to be heard, to be accepted. Left foot; I cradle my inner child, that sweet innocence so long ago abandoned – it’s okay. Right; relax into the easiness of your being. A deep breath, the left foot again; you are safe.
The voice on the CD shepherded us into embracing and loving the emotion, admitting silently that all is well. As the gong sounded for us to shift to a sitting meditation, a smile rested easily within me, knowing I had transcended old beliefs.
We broke for lunch, silently filling our plates with salad and a quinoa dish. I wandered into a small den, sat alone on the floor and brought my knees up. Cradling the plate, I closed my eyes and took slow bites. An heirloom tomato, a piece of artichoke heart, then a scoop of red quinoa with a tangy sauce and a piece of garden fresh lettuce. Flavors burst and textures teased. This was such a different experience then my normal eating habits; mindlessly chewing and swallowing while engaged in a book or the internet. Slowing the process, I moved into gratitude for the meal, the person who prepared it, the farmers who grew it and everything it took to get it to my mouth. And then there was chocolate.
The day progressed and, as I shifted into a state of neutrality, the challenges of the morning dissipated. The sitting meditation, with eyes closed, allowed me to be absolutely still, where my mind became a slate of dancing colors rather than words. The walking meditation, eyes open and most often focused on the ground in front of me, allowed me to become part of my surroundings. Each leaf or grass clump became significant, birdsong reverberated through me and the distant sounds of humanity became part of the mosaic. Glancing up, the powerful, quiet beauty of the mountain became a symbol for the truth of who I am.
I began the day with fears and doubts sitting just below the surface. By taking the opportunity to quiet the mind, slow the breath and move gently and easily for just a snippet of time, I have freed the emotion and I am at peace.
(Silence fills me amidst the noise of my world; distant traffic, soft conversations from the family upstairs, bird chatter and the rush of breath as it flows from me. Silence is not an absence of sound but rather that place inside where I can reside, undisturbed, in the stillness that lies within my heart-space.) This is Jeanne's testimony.

Cranial Sacral Sessions
"I want to thank you
Yolanda for a transformative cranial sacral session today. What a wonderful gift to receive for the launching of 2021. I have had many brain integration sessions with you over the years and today the cranial sacral session I did with you revealed an awareness of a number of locked up thoughts in my spine of not feeling worthy and not feeling like enough. As a breach baby, I also was not feeling appreciated. Amazing how this translates into our long held beliefs in our bodies!!! Through your long distance energy work, you helped me to access that element of my heartfelt divine origin, to feel loved and successful and appreciated for just being born. I truly value you and celebrate this opening today and the energy work that you are doing in the world to transform individuals one at a time. Thank you!!!

Yolanda has given me several remote treatments. All have been helpful. Recently, when I had Covid,she did a session with me that significantly helped with healing from Covid. A little while into our time I sensed a warming ball of energy in my heart center. Along with this sensation came the awareness that Divine Mother was with me. This allowed me to deeply relax and be embraced in the healing light. My symptoms were less intense and I made a full recovery.

I came to Yolanda needing support with overwhelm. With running a business and being a mom of two, my focus and concentration was compromised with stress and brain fog. My motivation and inspiration was also suffering so my partner, Adam and I started with cranial sacral therapy and saw a huge difference in our overall well being. We decided to invest in ourselves and get fully brain integrated so that we can show up better for our family and growing business so we gave it a try and boy we are so so thankful we did! It was exactly what we needed to get clear, direct, focused, organized, excited and motivated! We came back to LIFE! IT WAS EVERYTHING WE NEEDED! Everything feels connected, integrated, I see as a whole now, not through distorted parts of trauma and pain (or the filters so to speak). Every mom, every business owner, anyone who has experienced trauma can correct the blocks with these offerings.
Greatest Improvements:
• I feel content with a deeper sense of well being
• I am moving through stress with ease
• I am clear headed and joyous even in the face of challenge
• I am more balanced emotionally
• I am more trusting of my circumstances
• I am in the divine flow
Would recommend: Yes

I highly recommend this remote treatment. It is very effective and truly does work to balance one's vibration and center the body's systems. I've had years of cranial sacral therapy with Yolanda going back about 20 years and would even drive 7 hours one way when she moved away.
After hearing that she was doing remote sessions, I decided to give it a go. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical at first but knew I could trust Yolanda and the process. I felt very safe and secure in the privacy of my own home.
Having had 2 sessions now, I can honestly say that It truly DOES work and I say you should give it a try and know that you are in "good hands".

Reanna's Story
This is a miracle story that I would like to share. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 25 years. We have suffered so much loss and heartbreak. The doctors couldn’t tell me how or why this was happening. You feel life growing inside of you only to find out you have to discontinue your baby’s life to save your own. So we decided on one last chance at life and went for an implant.
The first one didn’t work. When they do implants they take more than one egg and fertilize them. They implant a few and freeze the rest, all died but one.
Then I found what I would call my miracle lady to help me handle everything that happened. Not only did she help me create life, but she also helped me maintain my pregnancy to where it was filled with love and joy and every moment was an experience of utter excitement.That is something you can’t put a price on.
Now I have this little person to love and hold every day of my life. The joy is so fulfilling. I would like to tell you my baby is also having cranial sacral sessions. She is so healthy and she has never been sick for 11 months. That in itself is a miracle. We can never thank Yolanda enough for giving us this gift of life and helping us enjoy her and I thank god for her treatments. Thank you!!!” Tina and Rudy 2011
