QEEG & Neurofeedback

"Your brainwaves control your thoughts, your emotions - almost everything about you. If you can change your brainwaves, you can change your life."

Dr. James Hardt

Neuroscience & Neurofeedback Pioneer

What is neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a powerful, non-invasive technique that helps regulate brain function by measuring and providing real-time feedback about your brain's electrical activity. Think of it as a mirror for your brain - allowing you to see and influence patterns you weren't previously aware of.

How does it work?

Your brain produces different types of brainwaves, each associated with specific mental states:

Delta waves: The slowest frequency, present during deep sleep
Theta waves: Active during deep relaxation and meditation
Alpha waves: Present during calm, focused states
Beta waves: Dominant during active thinking and concentration
Gamma waves: The fastest frequency, associated with peak performance and focus

A well-regulated brain can smoothly transition between these states based on the situation - focusing when needed and relaxing when appropriate. However, many people struggle with this natural shifting, which can lead to various challenges in daily life.

The QEEG brain mapping process

We use Quantitative EEG (QEEG) brain mapping as the foundation of our neurofeedback program. This advanced technology measures electrical activity at 19 different points across your brain, creating a comprehensive map of your brain's functioning.

The process involves:

Placing non-invasive sensors on specific points of your scalp
Recording your brain's electrical activity
Analyzing the patterns to identify areas that could benefit from optimization
Creating a personalized neurofeedback protocol based on your results

Our two approaches to neurofeedback training

1 NeuroMeditation

Our primary approach uses NeuroMeditation, developed by psychologist and neurofeedback practitioner Jeff Tarrant. This method:

Provides real-time feedback about your meditative state
Helps you recognize when you’re truly meditating versus mind-wandering
Focuses on regulating alpha waves to promote deep relaxation
Helps break patterns of sympathetic dominance (chronic fight/flight/freeze response)
Teaches skills you can continue practicing at home without equipment

2 Targeted Neurofeedback

Based on your QEEG results, we can also offer specialized training for specific brain regions that show opportunity for improvement. Using audio and visual cues, you’ll learn to optimize your brain activity patterns in these areas.

Applications of neurofeedback

Neurofeedback has shown promise in supporting:

Stress and anxiety management
Focus and attention
Creativity and performance
Cognitive function
Sleep quality
Emotional regulation
Recovery from trauma/PTSD
Athletic performance

The path to better brain function

Through neuroplasticity - your brain's lifelong ability to form new neural connections - neurofeedback can help create lasting positive changes in how your brain functions. Regular practice helps establish new, more beneficial patterns of brain activity, leading to improved self-regulation and wellbeing.

Integration with other modalities

Neurofeedback is most effective when combined with other approaches to nervous system regulation. We integrate neurofeedback with various other modalities to create a comprehensive approach to mental and physical wellbeing.

Sympathetic Dominance Protocol

A psychosomatic stress reduction method that combines various modalities to identify and remove emotional blocks that express as physical symptoms.

PEMF & Infrared

Muscle relaxation, improved circulation and ion transportation to stimulate the body's natural recovery process.

Photobiomodulation

Red light and Near Infrared Light of specific wavelengths interact with the mitochondria to boost ATP production (more energy).

Cold Thermogenesis

Nervous system regulation training and helps to reduce inflammation, boost metabolism and improve immune function.

Gut Healing Protocol

Reduce harmful bacteria and parasites, heal the gut lining and encourage growth of beneficial bacteria to boost the immune system and gut-brain connection.
