“I am able to focus and think things through. I am not as impulsive as I used to be.”

“If there were only one word I could use to sum up your program, it would be “Awesome”! I have never come across such a technique that was, seemingly, so simple yet so effective”.
— Van Nuys, CA
“You must be “Glenda the Good Witch”, because the pain that has kept me sleepless for the past 3 nights has practically disappeared after only one session with you. I can’t thank you enough for surprising me like that. All I can say is “What a relief!”
— Sherman Oaks, CA
“My session with you worked miracles. You cleared the way for me to walk into a room and speak to anyone with confidence.”
— Woodland Hills, CA

“With your help I really have learned a lot. I’ve grown, and I hope to continue to work with you. I’ve made breakthroughs in my camp fear and my weight problem as well as my attitudes about myself.”

“Our son has been working with you since early spring and he is a new young man. I want to thank you sincerely for your helping him become the person he is capable of being.”

“Before my Equilibrium session I was tense and unable to focus on the important things. But after my session I was able to finish my homework. I felt more focused than before and a lot more relaxed. This enabled me to get things done quicker and more thoroughly which raised my grades and essentially increased my self esteem”.
— (age 14), Pasadena, CA
“I am more relaxed than I have ever felt. I no longer have this feeling of exhaustion that I would have when trying to get even the simplest task done. I no longer feel that I have this stress holding me down.”
— age 17, Los Angeles, CA
“Watching the changes in my granddaughter has been amazing. I see more confidence in her. Attending your sessions has enabled her to complete more of her studies in school. Her ability to read and follow through on assignments is truly wonderful. I am so grateful that we learned of your work. Without you she would still be fighting a losing battle. Her whole outlook has changed. She knows she can accomplish her goals. Your caring and training of her is deeply appreciated.”
— grandmother, Palmdale, CA
“These are my improvements since I’ve been coming to Barbara Schwartz: I can do math easier. I can get along with people better. …I can do more without thinking of what I am doing. I can concentrate better. I’m happier than I was. My reading is easier. My writing is better.”
— age 13, Palmdale, CA
EDUCATORS
“Thank you very much for your participation in our staff meeting. Our employees enjoyed your presentation.”

“…. I want to thank you for creating such an innovative and inspiring program with Equilibrium. Your approach to reaching the “whole child” in the learning process is truly awesome, not to mention effective!”
— PTA Council, Van Nuys, CA
“This presentation will help you both in the classroom and in your day to day lives.”
— Valley Village, CA
“The presentation is very helpful. It helps to better understand why children act the way they do. It also teaches about relaxation and understanding your body.”

SCOPTIC SENSITIVITY SYNDROME (IRLEN SYNDROME)
“I’m glad I met you. Since I got the blue overlay my eyes don’t hurt and I can read better.”
— (age 12), Simi Valley, CA
“Our daughter has shown dramatic improvement in her reading since using the color overlay from Equilibrium!”
— Calabasas, CA
“Since my sessions with Barbara Schwartz I have experienced a great reduction in my migraine headaches and eye irritation, especially after reading.”
— Calabasas, CA
“I thank you for all the help you have given me, especially with my reading. My overlay helps me with my reading.”
— (age 10), Simi Valley, CA
“I will never forget our son's reaction when you put the blue overlay on his page. He said he could read 24/7 because his eyes no longer hurt and the letters were no longer blurring together. He was so excited that he could read.”
— Simi Valley, CA
“I have been using an overlay when I read and I feel that it helps me tremendously. I no longer feel tired after reading, nor do I get distracted by the “waves” I would see going through the words. Reading has become a pleasure rather than an obstacle.”
— (Age 17), Los Angeles, CA
“Since our daughter (age 13 with Cerebral Palsy) started wearing her blue Irlen filters she now walks further and she doesn’t get tired. She concentrates on things longer. Her teacher says that she is not agitated like she used to be.”
— (parent), Glendale, CA
