ABOUT US

Being interested in trauma, brain function and it’s impact on people’s lives, I read several books on trauma including Bessel Van Der Kolk’s book “The Body Keeps Score”.
Bessel Van der Kolk is a prominent Austrian born American psychiatrist specialising in trauma recovery. I was simultaneously dumbfounded and excited to read of his positive clinical experience with the use of neurofeedback to help sufferers of trauma.  The before and after MRI’s images of the brain were enough to convince me that there was something of substance in the no-talk option for self help and self-improvement. Another powerful read is Neurofeedback in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma: Calming the Fear-Driven Brain by Sebern Fisher. Although they use linear neurofeedback, these books provide an in-depth review and reframing of cutting-edge neuroscience in relation to trauma.

A way for the brain to train itself to work in a way that helps the whole human to function better and have troubling symptoms reduce in duration, intensity and frequency, seemed like a miracle to me.

As serendipity would have it, a dear friend was renting a NeurOptimal unit and offered me some sessions.
After just a few NeurOptimal sessions, perceptively I felt very different (in a good way) but almost found it hard to pinpoint exactly where and how. After a few more sessions I noticed a definite change in patterns of thinking and ways of being. I knew that the neurofeedback sessions helped my brain let go of unhelpful ways of being.

I am convinced through first hand experience and observation, that neurofeedback offers humanity a “back-door” to training their brain from dis-regulation to wellness. There are different types of neurofeedback - you should read more about the types in the FAQ’s. I chose NeurOptimal specifically because it is a form of neurofeedback that is dynamic and non linear. I feel that this type of neurofeedback is superior. Today I use it as a form of peak performance training.

NeurOptimal is an advanced neurotechnology designed to train the brain to function better - what that means is different for everyone, because our brains are different.

It tracks the brain's electrical activity millisecond-by-millisecond and uses auditory sense perception (hearing) to provide key feedback to reset patterns. NeurOptimal is a non-invasive and safe neurofeedback training for kids and adults alike.

This innovative form of neurofeedback is now available at The Roomy Brain in Thames, Coromandel New Zealand.
NeurOptimal is not a medical treatment, but rather, training for the brain so that you feel better, whatever that looks like to you.
