About Us

David Mumm

Hi!  My name is David Mumm; I am the author of Actualization Work and the BrainWorks Program. Professionally, I am a human development specialist, with a focus on learning, personal healing and transformation, the brain and neuro-development.  Actualization Work is a holistic psychology I have synthesized over a 25-year career through study, training, and most importantly, practice, facilitating well over 10,000 hours of healing and transformational work for people of all ages, infants to elders. I worked as a psychotherapist/psychology intern for five years supervised by psychologists in Columbus, Ohio through a Ph.D. program in clinical psychology.

I have been a licensed Brain Gym® instructor/consultant since 1986. My father was an outstanding and pioneering dentist. My mother was a speech language therapist, pioneering in her field as well. I was a cadet at Kentucky Military Institute, graduated high school from Columbus (Ohio) Academy.  My B.A. in psychology and pre-architecture was from Beloit (Wisconsin) College. My Ph.D. studies in clinical psychology were done with Fielding University. After college I founded Thinking Dynamics, teaching speed reading and memory training, with Dr. Forrest Ratliff in San Antonio, Texas.  In 1986 I founded PowerLearn Technologies.

These days I enjoy tennis, ping-pong, hiking with my dog, and dancing.  I also really like cooking a vegetarian gourmet meal for friends and family.   I meditate daily and seem to be always learning something new and amazing!
