At the height of her career, Dr. Brenda was left paralyzed after a motorcar accident. During the year it took to heal and to walk again, she delved into the research of the Human Genome Project and found that we all have an original authentic DNA blueprint for health, health, happiness, prosperity, and success. We all have and authentic self that holds the genetic codes and keys for success.
​
Unfortunately, we became disconnected and created, an ego-self ad a world of chaos, negativity, destruction, disorder, delusion, and struggle. Today the challenge is to stop and turn this process around, and restore the full power and potential of individuals, companies, and organizations – and even a country as a whole.
​

Dr. Brenda is committed to being part of laying the foundation for this new kind and quality of future that benefits all.
