Neurofeedback
Children ages 6-17 & Family Members and Adults
We know that when people are together, our nervous systems sense and respond to each other. If someone is angry, upset, or excited we feel that too. This is especially true with the people we are with the most, our family. It is very helpful for children using neurofeedback if other family members are also engaging in this process. Then everyone’s nervous systems are calming and sharing this new level of regulation. To facilitate this level of family involvement, I offer a discount for anyone after the first child and arrange scheduling to be as convenient as I can for each family.
Neurofeedback has been used to help many difficulties including anxiety, attention span, brain injury, emotional regulation, impulsive behaviors, fears, focus, migraines, social skills, sports performance, etc.
Neurofeedback allows the brain to have conscious practice moving between the Limbic System (anxiety, flight or fight, survival mode, our primitive/reptile brain, etc.) and the Pre-Frontal Cortex (emotional regulation, critical thinking, self awareness, etc.). We need both parts of our brain to work in their turns, however the PFC (Pre-Frontal Cortex) turns off in traumatic situations as it is not necessary for survival. Neurofeedback is a way of re-engaging the PFC and strengthening it, which increases brain flexibility.
I use the pirHEG system for neurofeedback (Passive Infrared HemoEncephalography). This system does not use electrodes, instead it uses a headband that measures cellular activity in the front part of the brain (the PFC). A movie and a task are used to engage the brain. The movie helps guide the brain into an emotional state (the limbic system is activated) and then the movie pauses and the task is to gently focus the mind so the brain can activate the PFC. The idea is to increase the amount of time the brain spends in the PFC. We only work enough to strengthen the brain, not wear it out.
The PFC assists in regulating the other areas of our brain so there are many possible improvements with neurofeedback. I have seen improvements in children and young adults in the following: anxiety, attention and focus (ADD/ADHD), decision making, decrease in hypervigilence, emotional regulation, focus, memory, social skills, sports performance, and traumatic brain injury symptoms. Other areas where neurofeedback may be beneficial include autism spectrum symptoms, brain fog, improving cognitive functioning, dyslexia, migraines, stress, and more.
The initial session for a child is about an hour and 15 minutes and is $120. Follow up sessions are 30-45 minutes and are $85. If family members are participating the sessions will each be 30 minutes and are $50. We can schedule sessions for family members one after another or individually depending on what is best for your family.
I offer a free 30 minute consult so we can get to know each other a little, talk about neurofeedback and see the equipment used, and share what you would like neurofeedback to help with. Please text or email to set up a consult (information is below)

Using Neurofeedback And Homeopathy Together
Neurofeedback and homeopathy are both powerful and when used together the results are even more beneficial. Homeopathic remedies allow you to have a tool at home as needed and assist your system in healing from the inside out. Neurofeedback allows your brain, over time, to be strengthened in ways that increase self awareness, lower stress and improve functioning. These systems compliment each other and allow for more complete levels of heath and wellness.
