Transcript of Webinar
Natalie: Thank you all who are joining us for this conversation I know a lot of you are going to be watching afterward so please enjoy and feel free to send us questions um I'm so pleased that Sarah and Dana have agreed to join me to talk about head injuries and their own experience some of you may know Sara she works for us she's a certified NeurOptimal® trainer and she runs our program on the east coast and Dana is our copy editor for our blogs um and so he has also suffered from a concussion recently and has offered to share his experience using NeurOptimal so thank you both for joining us
I guess just let's start the conversation just talking about what happened. What was your injury and what were your initial symptoms like? Maybe we can start there.
Dana: You want me to go? Thank you. So, first of all, I really appreciate the invitation to speak a little bit I'm always super excited to share good products with people and especially anything connected to health and well-being um so yeah my concussion was relatively recent it was December 28th um of last year I um was attacked in a bar um somebody attacked me and you know hit me a number of times and I sustained some pretty forceful blows um I had some contusions um a little bit of an open wound in my forehead um I had a pretty good sized knot right in the middle of my head about the size of apple walnut um at some point I guess he must have hit me in the side of the head repeatedly I had like some split cartilage inside my ear and I was bleeding from that um
After the event I didn't really feel an effect any effects I sort of felt fine for a couple of days and then I I work freelance or independent as a writer so I I have to be on my computer every day for anywhere from three to nine hours everyone has to be on their computer these days but that's my life as well and I feel like it was maybe eight or nine days after the attack I started noticing that I had headaches that were fairly consistently they were coming on at different periods of the day and staying for a long stretch of time up to hours at a time and they were Sharp they weren't headaches I could ignore um and I also started noticing I had light sensitivity my you know from looking at the computer anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes after I would get on the computer um my it felt like my eyes physically hurt they were achy and then that sort of light sensitivity seemed to contribute to the headaches the headaches would increase in severity and it and after again it feels like maybe eight or nine days after the the event the attack is when I started noticing these symptoms um and very very clearly very very shortly after I started noticing the symptoms um I really couldn't be on the computer for more than an hour and a half or two a day which was very difficult because I would have work days that demand it I'd be on my computer for six or seven or eight hours and I just couldn't it sort of got to the point like I was kind of like I try to squint at the computer to lessened the amount of light coming in I try to turn down the monitor the light density on the Monitor and again really after eight or nine days I just an hour and a half or two was all I could this is the only time I could spend on the computer um and I was only familiar with the terms light sensitivity my my daughter is in college now she's a college freshman but when she was in Middle School. She went through back-to-back concussions so as a parent I sat with my child with neurologists and doctors talking about concussions so I knew from being you know being in the presence of neurologists and doctors that concussions are just really a tricky thing and there's not much anyone can do except whatever you're doing that creates symptoms don't do that thing pretty much is concussion protocol so so that's where I was after like day eight or nine after the attack I was yeah I was having really bad headaches light sensitivity and I absolutely could not work the amount I needed to.
Natalie: Thanks, Dana. So Sara, your situation's a little bit different that it's here you had the concussion. Can you tell me a little about that?
Sara: I'm Sara, and I've Neurofeedback trainer for seven years. I've been training myself and my family for a decade or so. What happened about three months ago was that my son who is in high school, he's an athlete, got a concussion from baseball practice. He got a fastball hit in the side back of his head, and after that he experienced concussion symptoms. His symptoms were very similar to Dana, light sensitivity, pounding headaches, and difficulties in processing information which the doctor also confirmed with him. They gave him a notice that he did not have to go to school or do his homework because it was very difficult for him to concentrate on homework. He also had sleep disturbances. He would wake up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back to sleep; he had mood changes too. I noticed there was a change in his mood. He was feeling very sad at times, which was a little bit unusual for him but yeah, it was every mom's or parent's nightmare seeing your child suffering from a concussion during a sports event that he loves. It was very difficult…
Natalie: So, what did you notice in terms of the persistence of the symptoms? I mean, I guess you started with the neurofeedback immediately afterwards? I was away when this happened, but as soon as I came home and I learned about his concussion – because he was not telling us that he had the concussion right away– then we noticed that there was some change with him and as soon as he let me know I started him on a NeurOptimal brain training program and I did that pretty intensively for over a week and a half which meant that he did two sessions per day sometimes three sessions. He's used to training himself with the NeurOptimal system. Typically, he would fight me on doing them, but this time around, he would ask me for it. He would ask, “Can we do a brain training session?” Also, I convinced him not to look at his phone. Since NeurOptimal is effortless, you don't have to look [on the screen] or be actively involved, but he likes to look on his phone, playing chess and such, so I convinced them to rest. To completely rest. He would have a sleep mask or something covering his eyes while in session and five minutes into the first session that he did, he fell asleep and slept throughout the session too. So sometimes I would begin another session after that, either a full-length 33-minute session or a demo session [15 min] right after. That helped him quite a bit with his sleep disturbances. When I learned that he woke up not in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back to sleep, I asked him to next time this happens you let me know. Wake me up and don't worry about waking me up in the middle of the night and we do a training session, and we did that for three nights in a row, and that helped him. After doing that, he could fall asleep with no problem and stay asleep, which really helped him as well.

Natalie: Dana, what about you? I can't remember how long it was into your concussion that we got you this system. What do you remember?
Dana: I just wanted to backtrack a minute. Sara reminded me when she said cognitive issues. I had those as well. I forgot about it. Again, around day eight or nine, when I really was like my second or third day into recognizing I've had very clear symptoms of a concussion, one of the other things I noticed was that not that I have a necessarily high IQ, but cognitively I'm pretty sharp and I'm a writer so I'm constantly sort of holding concepts and words and ideas in my mind and again around day eight or nine I I started to realize Ithere were certain things I couldn't remember. I looked at the computer, and I think “Oh I want to write about this thing!” and then a few minutes later I could feel my mind looking for the thing I thought of, and I couldn't find it, and that's unusual for me. I just was not able to hold on to ideas and thoughts with the same sort of Acuity that I normally could, and that was a little frightening obviously um, yeah the whole thing was so anyway, I think it was around, and as Natalie mentioned, I do some editing for her and the company side I'm fortunate that I sort of get to have my mind in the world of the I call it the machine anyway not that I understand it conclusively in any way whatsoever but I'm at least have some passing familiarity with it and I feel it was like day nine or ten I think Natalie actually reached out to say I've got some editing work you know and I kind of emailed back and said I don't know if I can like I got attacked and I can't look at the computer and um I mean you know of course that was a very decent kind person so initially she was concerned for me and then she said would you know do you think you'd want to try one of the NeurOptimal trainers and I sort of hadn't thought about it um
Dana: Yeah and to be honest I was a little skeptical at first just because of having been with my daughter through back to back concussion protocols and knowing just how how subtle that this kind of injury can be so it didn't I didn't really think you know initially oh yeah this will fix it and Natalie didn't say that at all she was like you know something you you could consider um but I have to say by day nine or ten into this you know I was really I was having a cognitive issues the headaches were really really bad and I couldn't work so I was in a pretty bad place which I think force in my hand I don't know if if my symptoms hadn't been that severe had I you know would I have considered a NeurOptimal trainer but my situation was not great and I was losing money because I couldn't work so yeah I think I think a machine probably got to me maybe 12 or 13 days after the event yeah sorry did you also train how often did you train when you first got it yeah so when I first got it Natalie said look just go at your own pace you know I think the default trading session is 30 minutes yeah but I think I did I think I did a morning and an evening session of 30 minutes and on the third day so I did you know morning night first day morning night second day morning on the third day and before the third session on the or before the second even the session on the third day I had been at the computer working and I looked up and I realized I've been working for three hours wow didn't have the same degree of headache and I didn't have light sensitivity and I was like oh like like no way so then I just I remember I contacted Natalie and I was like hey how much can I use this thing because I think it's working and I told her I said I'm on my third day and I just noticed that I've been on the computer for literally an hour and a half longer than I've been able to be and I'm not experiencing the same degree of pain and you know Natalie said just really take it at your own pace so than for the next couple of days I went up to 45-minute sessions for the morning and the evening and I did that for a few days, and I just continued to feel progressively better each day and then I would say by the third week
The third week after I got attacked, maybe 10 or 10, maybe 10 days after using this I was doing three sessions a day of 45 minutes, um and I did that for something like the next five or six weeks and I'll also say I'm sorry, go ahead, I'm curious what what what made you decide to do the 30- 45 minutes a day well I just I mean I don't know if it was the right thing to do or not but I sort of felt like well if I'd only used it sort of quote-unquote a little bit I know I felt better after three days I'm just gonna power it all the way up.
More is more and I'm a little I'm Latin so I'm a little dramatic like that yes more is more you know and you said to your credit you were like you know just really take it at your own pace then if you feel like it's not working or you're taking steps backwards or whatever move back a little bit and I'm very you know I was very like I really kept a very keen eye on my progress but I will have to said Miss a fair amount of work in those first two weeks and I kind of had to get back to catching up and this was very interesting for me like I was using it three times a day for 45 minutes basically for six weeks and I don't think one of those sessions I ever lay down and close my eyes I would hook myself up and I would work because I had to work and my feeling was like I kind of don't have a choice I have to work I have to look at the computer I'm going to crank this thing all the way up use it as much as possible and unless my head explodes I'm just going to keep doing this and my head never exploded and I just kept feeling fine and I kept being able to increase the amount of time I was working so I don't I mean for me it really I was surprised and I don't mean to sound like an infomercial at all I mean I'm but I'm very I'm very grateful to pass along information for things that work you know especially anything in the in the field of health and and you know well-being um I I don't you know again concussions are a curious thing somebody could have a very mild concussion and have it for a year somebody could have a severe concussion and have it for a week just really but in my case for me it was very black and white that it worked you know and you know and it's interesting part of why I asked that question is because I I have found over the years in working with people with head injuries that it really does vary in terms of what that that brain wants and so it's really curious because I have found that in general people with head injuries are more on the side of less is more so fewer sessions spread out throughout the week people tend to want to do it at the end of the day because there's kind of a feeling of tiredness afterwards and then they can go right to sleep and the Brain continues to repair um so I thought it was really interesting when you told me um you know and that was a few weeks into your training that you were doing you know three sessions a day I was like wow that's a different brain you know and that's part of why I always say to people just listen to your own body and see what it's saying to you because as each brain is unique and I know that frustrates people because everybody wants this sort of like security of of what's how often you know should I do this what's the what's going to give me the best results and it really
I mean the thing that is important for people to know who who are watching who aren't familiar with NeurOptimal is that this is a non-invasive practice for that brain and so you can as Dana did train 45 minutes three times a day. You're not harming your brain what the brain tends to do when it's tired is ignores information so if you're doing your session and your brain is tired and it's receiving the feedback through the micro interruptions in the music if the brain's tired and doesn't want to go into action on that information it'll just ignore it. It is safe to do what Dana did for himself .
What about your son, Sara. What were the weeks of training following? Maybe even to say a little bit about what were the other supports if you added other supports in what did you add?
Sara: I always go to the NeurOptimal brain training because that has helped before. But I was also looking for other support and you suggested to look into hyperbaric oxygen therapy and I knew that that had helped my family before for other stressfull events so I was curious how can this help us in this moment so I did find a local place and um and it involves being in a pressurized environment getting oxygen into your bloodstream and to repair tissue and um it is a relaxing session and my son did it for three sessions but each time it was bothering his eardrums because at the same time he was going through these concussion symptoms he also experienced sinus infection so he did not want to continue with that um other things we tried was chiropractor session but our chiropractor did not want to do any spinal adjustments so he just worked on strengthening muscles and exercises to do but even light exercises for my son was difficult he even a walk around the block would trigger his headaches so he did not want to even do that for and that lasts for lasted for a week so my concern was really about finding ways to help him with this recovery and we tried also acupuncture with cupping and that really helped him relaxation wise and he felt more himself after a session each time he did a acupuncture that really helped him um as well and um we tried also based on the doctor's recommendation to increase magnesium intake Omega-3 we also added turmeric um turmeric oil that you digest which was is good for inflammation, we did light exercises but again even a walk would trigger headaches so he rested most of the time which is not typically for him. He is an active 16-year-old boy so this was very difficult. We tried all that. This morning, I asked him what was the best tool for him, and he said neurofeedback training with the NeurOptimal system worked best for him. He continues doing the sessions but not as intensive as he did the first week that I learned that he had a concussion. He's now just doing it once a week, maybe twice per week and he's back on the phone again looking on his phone while doing a session so he is he's got no problems with light sensitivity anymore. How long before he was able to go back to school? He was home for ten days from school and then he extented time to finish his homework and tests. He went back to baseball practice, just doing light exercises for the about two and a half weeks after his concussion symptoms. He went back to school eventually and now he is fine. He is fully recovered and was cleared by the doctor to continue his baseball practice. But I asked him this morning what symptoms he’s got that is lingering and he's actually said that he's having difficulties with reading still. The words are jumping and he has to focus more on reading sentences and comprehensive comprehension focus issues.
Therefore we we just continue with the methods that work for us. Which for him is neurofeedback training with a NeurOptimal. Then we continue with a good diet for him, for instance, eliminating starch as much as possible, processed food, and dairy. But he's back to his regular self and I'm very grateful for that. One of the suggestions that I have for families who experience this, to also train themselves, that was very important for me to also train myself.
When he would wake me up in the middle of the night and I did a session on him, I would also do a session on myself. That did not necessarily mean that I could fall asleep but I could cope with the stressors around the lack of sleep and cope with all the stressors of seeing a person that you love not being himself. So that's the number one suggestion I have is to train yourself too. Yeah, that's a good one because it's stressful. It's so stressful! Your world is stumbling upside down and you want to help and you can't and it's difficult for him. It was difficult for him to rest. What do you do when you're used to being very active? It's been three months now and it's just a few symptoms that you're still lingering. I would also say to everyone to trust in the process.
Everyone is so different when they start the training with NeurOptimal and with other methods. But stick to what works you know and keep at it! Trust I think for him was important. He trusted me when I told him that okay we're gonna do this so he was committed and I was committed so that also is very helpful. To be committed! To really take the time.
For you Dana you you were working at the same time but it's a huge commitment to do three sessions per day. But you are committed because you have no other choice sometimes? I'm just sort of laughing a little bit at the contrast and styles. Sara's obviously a much better person than I am. I ate cookies and drank beer and worked like a maniac. I mean I'm just being honest it's the end of the day and I had to work and so I'm like I'm gonna have some cookies and I'm gonna have one or two beers so it's very different. I didn't do any health supplements, I never did the machine while I was laying down and resting, I was working all the time and you know, somebody it's just it's a very interesting study and contrast. Someone could say well it was placebo effect and I could say maybe. But for me it was interesting because I didn't have a choice to not work I had to work and I didn't know what I was going to do if the light sensitivity and the headaches stopped me from working I had to work um and and but I had real-time feedback because literally by the let's say by the 10th day I couldn't look at my computer for more than two hours a day I started using the machine and by the 14th day I was almost back to my regular schedule and I had the very empirical real world feedback of my own physiological symptom I wasn't telling myself I felt better I literally didn't have light you know the light sensitivity was decreasing and the severity of the headaches what were decreasing you know so yeah it's interesting I'm not advocating people drink beer and eat cookies while they do it it works just don't don't do what Dana did try to have a look at what I did inflammatory diet when you're healing a brain injury but in the spirit of transparency I think it's just it's interesting that I didn't have to whatever that whatever NeurOptimal training does it does it so it works absolutely I would you know Aid Yourself in all the ways that you can you know the more you can create a healthy context for your body the better I just didn't have that I didn't have that availability to me I mean I really had to like I'd missed weeks of work and bills were like stacking up and I literally was like shoot I just gotta do the machine as much as I can and hope it works and it seemed to for me you know and how long has it been since you stopped doing the sessions because I know you returned your rental what like a month and a half ago yeah say six weeks ago yeah I know I mean I'm fine I mean and I really I like or probably a month into it I felt like a hundred percent you know I just but I wanted to keep it because I was like well if it's working I wanted to keep working and you know again I'm not the science of it and the technology is a little bit beyond me but at least like I sort of felt like well if it's healing on a level I can't feel why not keep letting it heal me you know I'm gonna sit at the computer and work anyway it only takes me five minutes to put the things on and so yeah and I don't have any I don't have any no backsliding of of your symptomswell that's great exceptionally like the healing felt bad and stable
Natalie: And Sara how long was it for for your son in terms of when you felt like okay we can we can cut back on the number of sessions what were you looking for as the indication of like we can try doing less now.
Sara: I think when his sleep was less interrupted. After we did that ession at night for three four nights in a row. I forget because I was sleeping very badly myself. But when he could go back to falling asleep as well as staying asleep throughout the night I knew then that he is okay. That he's recovering. So I felt more kind of at ease an I went back to maybe just do once a day for two weeks. The recovery was two weeks and after that we were just doing once or twice per week. I knew that neurofeedback with NeurOptimal was the go-to tool for us and also he knew that as well. Because of his past experience with the neurofeedback training before. The sleep disturbances was new but I knew that this had helped me in the past from being jet lagged so I was like okay let's do this set it all up and so we're ready to go.. When he went back to school again after being home for 10 days he was he was gradually getting better.
Natalie: One thing I wanted to just add is that it does take the brain a while to heal so you talked to anybody I was actually just in talking to the audiologist and she said when you put a hearing aid in somebody it's really was three months before the brain is really you know now wiring for the new information of a hearing aid and I was like oh yeah that's always good to remember because we don't think about the time factor in healing and and I'll share just something that happened personally that that surprised me which is I I have a condition in my right ear um and I've had severe hearing loss because I've had a bunch of surgeries on it and my last hearing test was in 2018 and I'm I'm I'm um sort of technically deaf in my right ear and then because of covet I didn't go and have a hearing test and so I just went and had one two weeks ago and then I went and saw my ENT doctor and he said wow your hearing has improved so much in five years and I was like what how I thought that was like done and and so I asked him I said how can that be that my my hearing because there's a lot of damage in that ear he's like oh well you know the brain continues to heal over time and I was like wow it's like weird and a lot of damage and and my you know hearing system is still trying to improve its functioning and so you know as a brain trainer that's a really kind of hopeful thing an important thing to hear and so part of I wanted to share with you all in in terms of just really remembering that you know regardless of when you stop doing your your NeurOptimal training you know continuing to care for your brain giving it sleep giving it you know healthy whole foods diet minimizing, the sugars and things that are inflammatory for the brain. Those sorts of things will have an impact over time to allow the brain to do what it does which is always trying to improve its functioning um regardless of what do we feed it cookies and beer or do brain training I would not give my son beer but cookies yeah yeah why not now I feel like yeah why not because he's feeling so much better so I know we have some people who are here live so I want to open it up if anybody has any questions they want to ask and you know they can be questions about head injuries anything for Dana and Sar or they could just be general questions about NeurOptimal or anything.
Question from an attendee in Detroit: My experience with NeurOptimal®
Greetings, hi, my name is — I just want to saycongratulations to both of you um for you know for doing NeurOptimal and making that something a modality that you use that you that you loved that helped you along your journey. Peace and wellness to you both. I just I didn't necessarily have a question I just wanted to say I did NeurOptimal in May of last year in 2022 I went to a place called Inception in Detroit Michigan. I did a boot camp there and I want to say ever since I did it and then rented the machine for like two and a half months after. It opened my life up so much just as far as things that I was afraid to do or couldn't do. It allowed me to think more, it allowed me to get my words out more and allowed me to process more um though it was some Flip Flip up slip back but my mind I would say that my brain has definitely over time um events like I've never seen it before or not used to um and um it was a modality that I could honestly say saved me um due to my own research and my own study so I just wanted to thank you and thank you nor optimal and just I'm so grateful and my goal is to become a brain trained um trainer technician if I'm saying it right um or um in the next in the next month or so just to have it in my area um because it was so beneficial to me and thank you again oh thank you for sharing your experience and and for you know wanting to share it with others it's it's wonderful yeah thank you for the well wishes. It's very it's very touching to hear your story. I'm very happy for you.
Sara: That's it that's my journey too. I became a certified trainer from training myself and seeing life-changing results. I also I wanted to give this to more people and share how it works. Letting people know hat it's completely non-invasive and safe for everyone and also guide people in their journey. It is incredible. So I hope that you become a trainer soo.
Thank you so much thank both of you.
Natalie: Good luck on your journey keep going keep pushing thank you for sure any other questions or comments that the people have.
Question from an attendee: How does the rental look like?
Hi, this is Ken, nurse practitioner at NYU I don't specialize in neurology you know nothing I'm not doing neuro-therapy but I've just been reading up on it and my question is, I know through the years this this apparatus has become more um convenient and more mobile um did anyone find it to be logistically I mean I mean we're in New York City. I'm in a 400 square foot apartment studio you know can you use this at you know you know I have fragmented sleep two and a half hours every night well you know waking up in the middle of the night so can you use it if you wake up and can it be this you know I'm picturing this big clunky briefcase on the end of your bed what exactly does what does it look like and is it cumbersome can I jump in real quick yeah because um like it's the size of a tablet it comes in a little case but it's the size of a tablet and I I have a small home and I I was confined really to my office and and by my office I mean my desk so I have like my work desk and the computer I'm looking at you know in now and I would just keep the tablet right next to me with all the little clamps and everything when you first set it up you know you open the manual and you're like oh how am I ever gonna get through this it literally like 15 minutes later it's set up once it's set up it doesn't take you any more than like five minutes and I literally just kept it you know eight inches away from me I'd run my session I'd have lunch I'd come back and then boom boom boom five minutes later I just put a little paste on the clamps I put them on so you need you know three feet by three feet area you know and and a couple times after I was done with my day I just put it by my little bedside and again it's the size of a tablet and I would just put the clamps on and lay there so it takes five minutes to put the little flappy things on your ears and a couple on your head start the program it literally takes five minutes so okay thank you that's helpful yeah you need no room at all and again it's like anything like the first time you buy a computer and you set up you're like I'm never gonna do this once you set up a computer you never think about it again and that's what my experience was like I was like oh boy there's a whole manual coming and it took me like 15 minutes and then once you have done it like once or twice it's super super easy and you need no room at all minimal room so and go for it I'm sorry you're having fragmented sleep I've been there that's tough so if you maybe you give this a shot and it helps I hope it does man thank you yeah I just wanted to show you how it looks this is the rental case that you get it oh okay that's not okay yeah it's very doable it's lightweight I've worked it with me on the plane oh that was my next question on the plane not a problem so it's very portable and it's so easy to use and if you have any problems when you rent this is the tablet oh I see yeah oh okay thank you and the the sensors I think that the sensors may be the most difficulties in the beginning but like Dana was saying it's very easy to use to provide a manual too and and my job as a rental manager is also to coach and guide you and and how to set it up if you need extra help we have thank you very much thank you yeah literally like about the third time I used it it was like to my left and I'm like typing with one hand setting up Zoom calls and clipping the things on it's super super easy and also they have really good like the when I first set it up I had an issue with my Wi-Fi which the Wi-Fi the my phone company should have been able to help me with and they weren't and I actually texted they have the near optimal they have like customer service via text and I texted the woman in my area and like 10 minutes later she was like no your login is this thing in a boom boom boom so super easy it's wonderful thank you yeah yeah don't drink beer apparently but
good to know…
I was in a dire situation…
Blood flow! We want blood flow to the brain right? That's good, that's key can any other questions you had or you're good okay great thank you um we're almost at our end time but we do have time for one more question if anybody has one well certainly you know how to reach us you can always email or call us if anybody has any follow-up questions at Dana and Sara thank you so much for sharing if anyone wants to talk to me directly about my experience or anything how to use it or whatever I'm really really happy to help I mean it was really helped me a lot so I'm happy to share whatever I've learned and if I can be have helped anyone you can get my number from Natalie or whatever I'm happy to you know to be in touch with anyone if they need it great thank you both for sharing thank you for joining us and um I hope everybody has a good weekend oh there's a chat oh thank you yeah thank you for your stories all right take care. Thank you both and thanks, everyone. Bye.

Review from a Client
This review is from a client in New York who saw improvements in her focus and overall wellbeing:
I sustained a major bump in my head recently and could not believe how out of synch and disoriented I felt. I spent four days feeling uncoordinated, fatigued and dizzy before a friend pointed me in the direction of Neurofeedback Training Co. in NYC. It was like night and day. After my first session I felt significantly more grounded and centered, more in control of the connection between my mind and body. I was so relieved!
The experience itself was so relaxing, professional, and uplifted. The technician was incredibly knowledgeable about my challenges which was such a relief because I felt like I had no real information about my issue prior to our conversion. I felt much less scared and relieved to have a path to healing that was doable, effective and also non-invasive.
I've since continued my work with neuro-feedback training both because I so enjoy the staff and the caring feel of the office in general and now 6 months later I've seen such improvements in other areas of my wellbeing and health. For instance my allergies have calmed down significantly, my sleep has become manageable and I don't wake up at night and cannot get back to sleep as often as I used to. In general I feel like my mind is more clear and more organized.
I highly recommend neurofeedback therapy and Neurofeedback Training Co. to anyone looking for help with their overall wellness and brain health but also those who want to feel more focused and relaxed. This is the place! Convenient location in NYC, super friendly knowledgeable staff, wonderful relaxing experience and great benefits.
