In early September 2025, families and practitioners gathered on the serene island of Brač, Croatia, for a truly special event—the first-ever QRI Comprehensive Therapy Session in Europe. Led by Bonnie Brandes and the dedicated QRI Team, this four-day retreat combined the power of primitive reflex integration with the peaceful rhythm of the Adriatic Sea. Special thanks to Tamara and Suzana for their incredible support in organizing the resort, coordinating logistics, and ensuring everyone was well cared for. Their dedication made this event possible.

A Beautiful Beginning in Brač

Held at the Waterman Svpetrvs Resort in the coastal town of Supetar, the setting was as restorative as the therapy itself. The resort’s welcoming staff, gentle ocean breezes, and stunning views created the perfect environment for healing and renewal. It was a place where children and families could feel supported, relaxed, and ready for transformation.

Participants traveled from Croatia, Romania, The Netherlands, and Switzerland, with a team of wonderful therapists from Austria and Romania joining to assist. In total, nine children and one adult received personalized, hands-on therapy sessions throughout the week.

Purpose and Promise

At every QRI Comprehensive, the goal is to achieve meaningful reflex integration—helping the body and brain communicate more efficiently through carefully designed laser and frequency protocols. And, as Bonnie reminds families, “the wonderful side effects of reflex integration are improvements in speech, movement, hypersensitivity, and overall health.”

As Bonnie explains, “Reflex integration creates a foundation for progress. When those early reflexes calm and connect, everything else—communication, movement, focus—begins to flow.”

For many participants, these changes began unfolding within days.

Inside the Sessions

Each participant received a personalized program built around their specific needs and goals. The therapies offered included:

Reflex Integration sessions
The Next Step program
Detoxifying foot baths
VLP and Helmet protocols
Frequency bed sessions

These combined approaches allowed each individual to make measurable progress, supported by the full QRI team’s expertise and care.

Stories of Change and Hope

The results were deeply moving. Families saw visible changes in their children—better speech, improved mobility, more coordination, stronger eye contact, and newfound confidence—signs that the nervous system was reorganizing and integrating. One parent shared a particularly moving story:

“Before the Comprehensive, my child couldn’t ride his bike alone. He struggled to move his feet, look forward, and coordinate it all. The day after the sessions, he rode his bike by himself for the first time. We couldn’t believe it.”

These kinds of moments—small miracles born of persistence, science, and love—capture what QRI is all about.

The Spirit of Gratitude

The energy throughout the week was one of gratitude and happiness, as parents witnessed real, tangible progress and the reassurance that healing is possible.

Though there were no formal group activities, the energy throughout the event was unmistakably warm and connected. Families expressed immense gratitude that QRI had come to Europe. As Bonnie shared, “In many parts of Europe, it’s difficult for families to access the kind of therapies we offer. The love and appreciation we felt here were profound.”

That gratitude flowed both ways. The QRI team was inspired by the dedication of parents who traveled long distances to give their children a chance for something better.

Continuing the Journey

After returning home, each participant received a custom home program to continue their progress. Reflex integration doesn’t stop at the Comprehensive—it’s an ongoing journey of healing and discovery. With consistency and continued use of QRI protocols, families can expect even greater gains in the weeks and months to come.

A Path Forward

The Croatia Comprehensive was more than just an event—it was a milestone. It marked QRI’s growing international presence and the beginning of what Bonnie hopes will be many more global healing experiences.

From the turquoise waters of the Adriatic to the smiles of children making new strides, Croatia reminded everyone that when science meets soul, transformation happens.
