Naturally, you have more questions. Lets answer some of those!

What Happens During a Neurofeedback Session?

During a neurofeedback session, small sensors are placed on your scalp and ears to pick up brainwave activity. While relaxing music plays, you can choose to engage with the session or simply relax, even falling into a deep REM sleep if you're tired. Since your brain is always receptive, it doesn't matter if you're actively focusing or not; the process works at a subconscious level. The system is automated, using auditory and visual feedback to help your brain learn to adjust its own patterns. The music or visuals might change in response to your brain's activity, encouraging self-regulation. This method aims to move your central nervous system away from maladaptive patterns like hyper-arousal (anxiety) or hypo-arousal (depression), towards healthier brainwave states.

Understanding Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback isn't a quick fix; it's more like a fitness regimen for your brain. Much like diet and exercise lead to physical health improvements over time, neurofeedback requires consistent sessions to yield lasting changes. This therapy helps recalibrate your brain's response to various stimuli, promoting better self-regulation. It's particularly effective when done regularly, which is why home-based neurofeedback systems can be advantageous. They allow for more frequent training without the need for travel, reducing costs and inconvenience.

 

 

Ease of Neurofeedback

 

Neurofeedback is accessible for both children and adults. It requires no special skills; all you need to do is watch a video or play a simple game. The technology provides a real-time mirror of your brain activity, allowing your brain to observe and adjust itself naturally. This process happens below the level of conscious awareness, fostering small changes that accumulate

towards significant symptom relief.

 

 

Client Experiences and Feedback

 

Many clients, both adults and parents of children, express frustration that they weren't introduced to neurofeedback sooner. They often feel that traditional therapies, while helpful, don't compare to the profound effects they've experienced with neurofeedback. The challenge lies in obtaining funding for such treatments, which can be particularly disheartening for those who see substantial benefits but face financial barriers.

Benefits for Creative and High-Performance Individuals

Neurofeedback can enhance performance in various fields, from music to sports:

Improves and maintains high performance levels.
Enhances confidence, mental toughness, focus, concentration, and clarity.
Boosts motivation, mood, creativity, and reduces fatigue and stress.

 

 

Trauma and Neurofeedback

 

For those dealing with trauma, neurofeedback targets the non-verbal, sub-cortical brain structures involved in emotional regulation, which traditional talk therapy cannot reach effectively. This can lead to improvements in:

Hyper-vigilance
Stress management
Energy levels
Memory
Anger
Anxiety

Frequently Asked Questions

Is It Safe?

It’s not dangerous and it’s ideal to be in a state of regulation and calm down and cheer up it. It is flourishing to naturally rebalance the brain. Our brains are habituated to response patterns that are not helpful to what’s happening in the present moment, such as for complex PTSD episodes, and survivors of trauma.

What does a session look like?

Music flows, you can sleep during this time, relax and  focus or fall asleep. Your Brain is always listening, therefore it doesn’t matter what you necessarily do in a session. If you are exhausted, many people go into deep REM. It is a fully automated system, you hear the music and you don’t have to pay attention, but just be mindful of your breath and notice what’s happening. You will have better communication to feel, or experience your body, you will notice joy. 
Over a series of sessions the brain gets to learn how to perform differently with your own personal data, in the present moment and the brain wants to do this, all the while hooked up to the Neurofeedback machine, it changes our stress response. I will empower you and encourage you to be confident, and we will watch as your brain will reverse a pattern deeply and powerfully.

How does it work?

Neurofeedback is using the electrical communication of the brain which can get habituated to patterns that aren’t appropriate for the here and  now. We are recording that information from sensors, that are fed into the head, from a computer system and when the brain is about to go into a "state change" electrically, the software on the computer in a milli-second it creates a auditory interruption, noting change in the exact millisecond that your brain is about to change, it interrupts it in that moment you become aware. It’s an opportunity to see what it’s doing then it can shift and choose different pattern, the brain gets that opportunity thousands of times as it gets the “feedback."

How do I explain what this will do for me?

It helps to have clear lines of communication. Think of a snow globe after you shake it up, Neurofeedback helps all the snowflakes settle to see more clearly. It’s great for self- optimization, helping people do a wellness body walk through, being mindful of what every part is feeling. Neurofeedback helps to lessen feelings of overwhelm, decreases decision fatigue and anxiety.
When you feel incapacitated, stuck; Neurofeedback helps with information overload. Neurofeedback is the perfect connection between body and brain and mind and a perfect extension of our body as we move through space and time. It helps to bring body mind synchronization. Everyone is different, notice and connect different things shifting.

Who is served by Neurofeedback?

We notice great results when our mind and thoughts work together for what we want. Neurofeedback is a stand alone. What are your goals by introducing Neurofeedback?
Are you ready for change? 
Are you holding a negative thought or processing pattern?
Neuro-optimal technology is the latest generation of Neurofeedback. It doesn't treat symptoms, it’s designed to allow the Central Nervous System to optimize its own functioning based on real time feedback and each person's own brain. It helps people to perform at their best, increasing mind body synchronization. 
Your brain will do something to optimize its functioning, we help it get there.

Our goal is to nudge the central nervous system out of certain brain wave patterns and into new brainwave patterns. Whatever is maladaptive, the brain will create a new pattern for. Long-term Hyper-arousal we call anxiety. If we have a freeze response, we call that depression and we can bounce back-and-forth between anxiety and depression, the brain will recognize and shift out of these maladaptive patterns.

We are shifting our nervous system to a different stimulation to “down regulate", and settle the brain and bring clarity.  

 

Is it time to turn, face and transform into your next level of greatness?
