Neurofeedback & Brain Mapping
My clients don't find me first. They find me when they've reached their limit and need something that works. I specialize in qEEG Brain Mapping, Neurofeedback, Biofeedback, and Photobiomodulation — working directly with your brain's electrical patterns to create measurable, durable change.
What Is Neurofeedback?
Your brain has a story to tell. We just need to listen.
Neurofeedback sounds like a fancy word, doesn't it? In practice it's quite simple.
It starts with a qEEG/Brain Map.
The first step is to place a soft cap on your head (like a beanie) that has sensors in it. An electrogel, or salt solution basically, is applied to each sensor. This helps us get a good signal to read your brainwaves. The downside, I'm afraid, is that it'll mess up your hair. So please bring a hat with you. You may want to adjust your schedule so you can shower that day before any major commitments.
The cap connects to a machine that reads your brain's electrical signals. Doctors use the same equipment to read brain signals in people with epilepsy or serious brain injury. Now this is not a medical intervention, I'm not a doctor and I don't diagnose. What it does allow us to do is get a picture of your brain, in the form of the readout (shown above). This gives us a lot of great information, and lets us create a visual picture of your brain that most people can understand.
What are we looking for? It's fairly straightforward, with a few nuances — we're looking for where your brain is running too fast or too slow, and where the electrical activity is too weak or too strong. That's it.
Neurofeedback comes next.
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, evidence-based method that trains your brain to regulate and recover, become more flexible, and build resilience. We begin a session by placing sensors on your head to measure the electrical activity of your brain. The sensors connect to a computer that reads your patterns, then displays an activity on a screen to train your brain. The activity may be a game, an animation, or a video. With training, your brain learns to shift out of patterns that keep you stuck. You might have a busy brain, or you are always on edge, have trouble focusing, experience brain fog or mood swings, have trouble sleeping. Neurofeedback works well for all of these symptoms. You can train your brain into healthier patterns that support more clear thinking, steadier focus, increased calm under pressure, and emotional stability.
This is direct training of your brain's electrical activity, guided by objective data from your qEEG Brain Map. The best way to learn how it works and why it might be right for you is to book a free consultation with me. I’d be happy to show you how everything works.
It is important that we have the honest conversation. This work is not for everyone. You Have to commit to it.
It is important to state this up front. Neurofeedback may not fit into your lifestyle or schedule. It’s a big commitment, there is no doubt. And if you have family commitments, it will require support and commitment from them as well to fully support you while you undertake this work. The payoff on the other side of this is huge.
Each session is 90 minutes twice a week, for a minimum of 20 sessions. More complex situations may take 40-60 sessions. One thing I can tell you is that I take your your time and treasure seriously, and I will do everything I can to make your experience pay off for you. This is one reason I combine neurofeedback with biofeedback and a new intervention, photobiomodulation, to accelerate your progress. I have seen neurofeedback transform lives. It’s real, that’s why I do it. If I didn’t believe in it, and I hadn’t experienced it myself, I would do it.
