How Do I Know If Neurofeedback Is Working?
Changes to watch out for whilst brain-training:
The brain changes slowly and for neurofeedback to be safe — even for babies — the change must be gradual. So at the end of your first month’s training you may wonder what has shifted. The changes may be subtle at first; however, the more neurofeedback you have, the more significant your changes will be.
Unlike linear neurofeedback, NeurOptimal neurofeedback will not just be working on a single issue…
Read moreWhy EVERY brain can benefit from Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is not just for those with a medical condition. The whole family can benefit from training with neurofeedback. That’s because it trains your brain to become more flexible and resilient. And these days we know that a brain that is more flexible will be better able to cope with the everyday knocks and bruises of life…
Read moreOur brainwaves affect our moods and behaviour — How can neurofeedback help?
Whilst we are children, particularly when we are 6 and younger, our predominant brainwave frequencies fall into the theta range (4—7 Hz). This is a slower frequency than we experience as adults, and as such one rarely hears young children complaining of over-thinking or ‘busy mind’!
Theta can be recognised as …
Read moreAre your triggers affecting your relationships & making your life smaller?
When we are triggered, our limbic system (the reptilian brain) is activated and we find ourselves thrown into a 'fight, flight or freeze' response.

Read moreNeuroFeedback and Peak Performance
GENERALLY, two key conditions are met when people consistently perform at the top of their game. They are completely focused with an alert mind; while at the same time their body is relaxed and free of tension. Think of the relaxed but mentally alert posture of a golfer, a concert pianist or an Olympic sprinter…

As we (hopefully) get ready to usher into law marriage equality for any two consenting adults irrespective of gender, transgender or non-specific gender, it is difficult to believe that just 13 years ago our then Prime Minister John Howard was so fearful that the Constitution did not expressly forbid same-sex marriage that he changed the law to include (what seemed to be even then) an antiquated statement that marriage could only take place between a man and a woman! Despite loud protests from many that a country with our track record on discrimination...
Read moreMeditation - it's not what you think!
