Performance Breakthrough Programme
Susan Steele, Founder, Performance Breakthrough
How our programme works
At Performance Breakthrough, we take a friendly, down-to-earth approach to helping children, teenagers, and adults unlock their true potential—at home, in the classroom, at work, or on the sports field.
We know that life can feel overwhelming when a child struggles to focus, gets frustrated with homework, or finds everyday routines like mealtimes or bedtime a constant battle. We also know that for teenagers and adults, those same traits can show up as procrastination, low motivation, anxiety, or difficulty staying on task.
That’s why we’ve created a unique movement-based programme that works with the brain, not against it. Using simple, fun daily exercises on a balance board and beanbag, we help to strengthen the brain’s pathways responsible for focus, emotional regulation, coordination, and communication. And the best part? It takes just 10 minutes a day.
Within as little as six weeks, families often tell us they see real change, better moods, calmer bedtimes, improved memory, and fewer arguments over homework. Adults say they’re sleeping better, thinking more clearly, and feeling more confident in social and work situations.
What makes our approach different is that we look at the root causes behind the behaviours, things like an underdeveloped vestibular system, sensory overload, or weak visual tracking skills. We don’t label or medicate; we simply strengthen the systems that help the brain function at its best.
Our programme is backed by more than 15 years of experience in neuroplasticity, balance and coordination, sensory processing, and developmental movement. We’re proud to have worked with families from all walks of life, and recently, we collaborated with the Neuroscience Faculty at the University of Ulster on a study that showed clinically significant improvements for stroke survivors using the same methods.
Whether you’re a parent, an educator, or someone who’s just never felt like your brain and body are quite in sync, we’re here to help you find your breakthrough, naturally, gently, and with real support every step of the way.

Examples
Do you or your child struggle with low concentration?
If you or your child find it difficult to concentrate and stay on task when doing homework or in the workplace it is not because you cannot be bothered or that you are lazy; rather that your eyes are not able to work smoothly together to focus and track an object in space. If the eyes cannot focus effectively the mind cannot concentrate in order to process information accurately and at speed. This can make academic, employment and sports field achievements difficult and very frustrating!
Every exercise has been specifically designed to develop your ability to focus.
Are you or your child sensitive to socks/labels?
How is it that you or your child’s skin may be annoyed by wearing socks, yet you could fall off a bike and not feel it? This is an indication that the sensory system in the skin is detecting the light touch of a sock in the way in which we would react to a fall and visa versa. Many people who are affected in this way seek deep impact as a comfort.
Our Pendulum Ball exercises enable the sense of touch to correct itself so that you will no longer be annoyed by socks but you will feel that your wrist is broken. This correction also impacts your ability to show empathy to others as your sense of touch relates to your feelings and it’s your feelings that enable you to considers others’ needs.
We encourage parents to work with their own child to build a positive relationship where you can both observe the progress as it happens.
Your Commitment
It takes a maximum of 15 minutes, just 5 days per week to see observable and measurable results usually within the first 6 weeks. We will supply the specially designed Performance Breakthrough equipment with its unique adjustable balance board along with our expert support for you or your child to ensure that they are given time to achieve results at their own pace.
Achieving permanent results
The programme will take 12 months. Through the science of Neuroplasticity, the brain ‘hardwires’ new neural connections over a period of time. Many therapies that you will have tried will have been prescribed for a period of 6 weeks. You will have seen improvements but once you stop the therapy your child may have reverted to their frustrated state for example. Because we work with your child for 12 months, we ensure that all improvements are ‘hardwired’. Therefore, permanent change takes place. Once a child can concentrate, they will not revert to being easily distracted when they finish the course.
The most common question parents ask is “What happens if it doesn’t work?“
The Programme cannot not work!
Exercises change how the brain processes information. Our knowledge, expertise and one to one support will produce positive results for you and/or your child within 12 months.
In fact, most parents report positive progress within the first few weeks and best of all, their children feel happier!
We are making the difference by providing the solution!
Your Breakthrough Coach has all the expertise you need.
The Performance Breakthrough equipment
Upon signing up to the programme you will receive our specially designed equipment.
Your Breakthrough Coach will arrange an initial consultation to include equipment set-up and an assessment of you or your child whilst they are interacting with the various components of the programme.
Ongoing support for 12 months
Your dedicated Coach will contact you after one week, at three weeks and again at 6 weeks. They will continue to check in with you every 6 weeks to monitor progress and give you the support you and your child need to get the most out of our 12-month programme.
Your support consultations can be carried out face to face or online via zoom or Whatsapp video.
