Neurofeedback Training
Enhance Your Cognitive Performance for Improved Mental Clarity
Struggling with Mental Clarity and Focus?
Do you find staying focused and mentally sharp throughout the day challenging?
Neurofeedback training, or neurotherapy, can help you achieve peak cognitive performance by training your brain to function at its best. Whether you’re a student looking to improve your learning abilities or a professional striving for enhanced productivity, neurofeedback can be a game-changer.
What is Neurofeedback Training?
Neurofeedback training, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a cutting-edge technique that optimizes brain function. It is a non-invasive and drug-free approach that helps individuals enhance cognitive abilities, emotional well-being, and overall brain health.
By utilizing real-time monitoring of brainwave activity, neurofeedback training provides valuable insights into brain functioning. Through specialized equipment and sensors, individuals can observe and modulate their brainwave patterns.

The Balanced Brain Program
Our integrative approach is intended to address both the known and unknown health issues that challenge our client’s best performance. Although neurofeedback training works to configure the subconscious brain circuits that give rise to symptoms you notice, other aspects of your health platform often need to be addressed as well.
We include Functional Medicine Health Coaching in our training program to help discern and advise you on nutrition and lifestyle imbalances that are affecting your brain health and our success with you using neurofeedback.
If they are evident, we will work with you to address those issues and refer you to other professionals in our network of Integrated Care Providers if more help is needed. Additional costs will accrue for those services.
qEEG brain mapping is one of our primary evaluative tools. It is a 19-channel quantitative electroencephalogram to evaluate your current brain activity and reveal areas of connectivity challenge. It is done in-house and includes a 15-page report, which is reviewed with you on Zoom. This allows us to tailor a personalized and specific neurofeedback training plan for your brain.

What to Expect During a Neurofeedback Training Session?
During a neurofeedback training session, sensors are placed on the head to measure brain activity. This information is then used to provide feedback to the individual so that their brain can learn to better control its own activity.
Neurofeedback training sessions need to be regular and consistent, at least twice per week. The number of sessions needed depends on the person’s condition and goals for treatment.

Infra Low Frequency
Since its discovery in 2006, neurofeedback in the infra‐low frequency (ILF) region of the EEG spectrum (below 0.1 Hz) has matured into a therapeutic method applicable to the full spectrum of brain health challenges. Pioneered by Sue and Siegfried Othmer of EEGInfo, the Cygnet software we use to train these low frequencies is the most widely used and technologically advanced in the industry.
Deep within your brain are networks which communicate at extremely low frequencies. They manage the second by second stability and flexibility of your brain, the platform which determines your reactions to the outside world. If those networks are not functioning well, you will exhibit the symptoms of that dysregulation– sleepless nights, mood swings, migraines, impulsivity, compulsivity, and far more.
Rather than impose a predetermined outcome based on comparisons to other brains, it is uniquely individual, informing the client of their own brain’s internal activity and allowing it to take that information to make adjustments in its own best performance. That is exactly how it is designed, it just needs good information.
The technology is used to provide exactly that, your job as a client is to allow your brain to witness its changing dynamics and make the corrections needed for better function.
Default Network Training
Rooted in traditional neurofeedback techniques first implemented in the 1970’s, Default Network Training or DNT was conceived by Dr. David Kaiser, one of the world’s leading experts in qEEG analysis.
Based on his unique analysis of brain function using a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG), this type of neurofeedback trains specific parts of the brain (Brodmann areas) to balance their energy, for your best performance.
Any over use or under use of regions of your brain will result in behaviors that impede your best performance and, using this technique, proper function can be found or restored.
All areas of the brain are targeted, from the deepest limbic structures, like the amygdala and the hippocampus, which regulate your most basic, innate responses, to the prefrontal cortex, the final arbiter of your everyday functioning. And everything in between.
Data-Driven Neurofeedback
In addition to our extensive intake questionnaire, we employ sophisticated measurement tools to measure your brain’s current and ongoing performance levels. Both to guide our training and to track your progress along the way.
This quantitative scaling self report allows us to measure and track your response to the training over time.
This 45-minute video-based cognitive assessment from Creyos® gives you and us valuable information about your current cognitive performance. It will identify specific areas of challenge, and our training protocols can be modified to address those issues.
The NutrEval© test from Genova Diagnostics® provides the highest level of nutritional analysis available.
