“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cydney and the incredible services she provides. From the moment I reached out for help, she has been a constant source of support and guidance. Her expertise and dedication to her craft are evident in every interaction, and her genuine care for her clients truly sets her apart.

Cydney is a godsend! She has a remarkable ability to listen and understand my needs, helping me navigate challenges I never thought I could overcome. Her insights and practical solutions have transformed my approach to problem-solving, and I find myself feeling more empowered and confident thanks to her encouragement.

I genuinely don’t know what I would do without Cydney. She has not only helped me in ways I didn't think were possible but has also become a trusted confidante and ally on my journey. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for support—she truly is a treasure!”

“My mom had medium to advanced Alzheimer's when we met Cydney. Cydney's involvement definitely added to my mother's quality of life and dignity.

My mother had never done any kind of crafts or artwork before she met Cydney. Once she got started with Brain Fit, my mother developed a passion for art. Even when she had physical problems, she refused to miss a session with Cydney.

Cydney has an inexhaustible energy and an infectious sense of humor, both great assets when working with seniors.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Cydney for anyone with cognitive impairment who desires to improve their quality of life. She will instantly become an important part of their life.”

“Cydney began working with my father after he suffered a hemorrhagic stroke which resulted in aphasia and memory difficulties. I don’t live near my parents, and when I do see them, I can immediately see that Cydney’s knowledge, patience, and encouragement have clearly improved his neuroplasticity.My father looks forward to his “brain fitness” training with Cydney, and he enjoys the exercises she leaves with him to work on between sessions. I am especially impressed with the progress he has made in communication. Talking to him now I sometimes forget he had a stroke!”
