Creating new pathways

Applying NeurOptimal® neurofeedback training can bring a wide range of benefits. If you are struggling with addiction, stress, depression, anxiety, poor sleep, or other psychological difficulties, this could be an effective programme for you. Neurofeedback can also assist to boost mental focus and strength for athletes looking  to enhance their performance.

Neurofeedback is safe, drugfree and non-invasive. It’s a training system that supports taking advantage of the brain’s natural resources. FDA in the US has approved neurofeedback  in order to help with relaxation and stress reduction in numerous instances. The American Paediatric Academy has officially endorsed neurofeedback as a “Level 1/Best Support” practice that is targeted towards children who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Neurofeedback can also help manage some neurological or psychological conditions like autistic spectrum disorders, post-traumatic stress, sleeping issues, eating disorders, addictions, brain injury, seizures, and depression.

KEY FACTORS THAT DISTINGUISH NEUROPTIMAL® FROM OTHER NEUROFEEDBACK SYSTEMS:

NeurOptimal® is effective because it is designed to work best with your individual brain. It does not attempt to “fix” predetermined conditions or pin down specific problems. This was a limitation in many earlier neurofeedback systems. Often, resolving a problem in one area could cause other problems elsewhere. The heart of the NeurOptimal® system -Dynamical Neurofeedback®- is a proprietary technology based in neuroscience and specifically designed with the naturally non-linear function of the human brain in mind. NeurOptimal® is built to harness the incredibly dynamic nature of your brain in a way other systems simply cannot match. As a result, this neurofeedback system can be used effectively to address a wide array of complaints without specifically “targeting” them from the outset of the training

NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is designed to be reactive and functions by assessing brain activity and then sending back to the brain information allowing it to self-correct while taking advantages of the dynamic nature of human brain. Research has shown that the brain knows how to repair itself, which is why the system is safe and will not push the brain in any specific direction. NeurOptimal® Instead sends the brain the information required to correct itself so it can perform in a more optimal way and guides  the brain towards self-repair. NeurOptimal® requires no effort on the user’s part. Other neurofeedback systems require the user to “interact” by playing games or solve puzzles during sessions. This additional level of interaction is unnecessary with the NeurOptimal® system. During a training session, you can simply relax and enjoy!

REFQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS;

WHAT IS A SESSION LIKE?

Sessions last about 50 minutes. After the sensors are placed on your scalp using a thick paste, all there is to do is to relax in the comfortable chair and listen to pleasant music. 

 ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS?

No. Since this is a training system that does not introduce a chemical into the body, there are no chemically-induced side effects. Typically, clients experience NeurOptimal® neurofeedback as pleasurable.

 WILL IT HURT?

No. Sessions are relaxing and painless. Some clients even fall asleep!

WHAT WILL I NOTICE AFTER NEUROPTIMAL® NEUROFEEDBACK?

Everyone experiences the benefits of NeurOptimal® neurofeedback differently. Some clients notice marked changes more quickly, while many others notice more subtle changes, across many different areas of life. Since NeurOptimal® neurofeedback utilizes the Dynamical Neurofeedback® approach, the changes are wholistic, meaning the brain starts to work more efficiently in many different situations. Many clients experience better sleep, reduced stress, heightened mental clarity and functioning, better communication and relationships with those around them, just to name a few. 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO WORK? DOES IT LAST?

Sometimes you will become aware of results after just one or two sessions, but it may take more sessions until you notice positive changes. We usually recommend that you plan on eight to ten sessions.

Brain training of this kind is akin to going to the gym to workout – the transformations that occur have lasting effects and may last forever. However, if you go through periods of high stress, you may feel the effects diminish and feel that a “tune-up” is necessary.  People experience the lasting effects quite differently from one another, and just as you know when your body needs to exercise, you will know if you feel the need for tune-up NeurOptimal® neurofeedback sessions in the future.

For a long-lasting effects, a minimum of 10 sessions are recommended, however, many individuals may notice the improvements sooner.
Depending on your goal, you might want to stop or carry on beyond the recommended 10 sessions.

NeurOptimal® neurofeedback  Testimonies:

Carole M

 “My children did around 20 training sessions and I did 10. I noticed my kids became more relaxed and balanced and my  shy son was more energetic and verbally expressive. I also felt a shift in myself toward being more relaxed and able to handle challenges. Besides being more relaxed and having emotional regulation, I can handle my triggers better and 

stay present and at ease during stressful times”.

John T

 “I decided to try neurofeedback after a recommendations from a friend. After my first session, I felt relaxed and  could have better quality sleep in many years. After a few more sessions, I noticed a subtle shift, mostly an increased ability to focus, think clearly and manage stress”.

  Brian N 

Recovering Addict 

“I’m already noticing improvement; more restful sleep, feeling less anxious in usual triggered situations. Enhanced craving  management for my addiction. I am also noticing some subtle improvements in some issues that have given me trouble for a long time. I am excited to see what improvements more sessions will bring”.

Sarah H 

University student

“I find my concentration levels improving, ability to understand and retain information while studying has increased, and I have a more restful sleep –all adding up to a more relaxed feeling throughout my day.”
