About NeuroFeedback
Providing The Brain With Gentle Feedback So It Can Naturally Self-Correct and Find Balance.
Neurofeedback optimises the brain and nervous system, supporting improvements in concentration, mood and emotional regulation. Over time, people who utilise neurofeedback training typically report feeling calmer, happier, more resilient and more focused. Clients also frequently note improvements in memory, mental clarity, academic and/or sporting performance, and improved motivation. A settled nervous system allows you to feel more relaxed, less reactive and more able to engage in relationships without conflict.
The Evolution of Neurofeedback:
Developed by psychologists and neuroscientists, NeurOptimal® neurofeedback represents an advanced approach to neurofeedback. Using non-linear technology, it stands at the forefront of second-generation neurofeedback technology.
Traditional, older styles of neurofeedback (still in wide use today) are known as protocol-driven systems. They represent first-generation technology in the development of neurofeedback. The protocol-driven systems work in a linear fashion and typically focus on isolated brain frequencies. Based on brain-mapping (QEEGs), protocol-driven systems push the brain in a singular direction.
NeurOptimal®, on the other hand, is second-generation neurofeedback technology. It utilises an advanced, non-linear approach designed to auto-navigate the entire brain as an interconnected organ. Rather than requiring a practitioner to manually select limited frequencies, NeurOptimal’s patented technology interacts seamlessly with your brain’s natural global activity. This automated process removes the need for external practitioner adjustments and QEEGs, allowing the system to work fluidly with your whole brain across multiple frequencies.
Registered with the TGA as a wellness device, NeurOptimal® is a professional-grade neurofeedback system that is safe for children and adults, helping to quiet automatic stress responses and enabling the brain to move towards a state of deep calm. NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is 100% naturopathic and safe, providing relaxation and comfort for families and even for infants. In fact, I regularly work with new mothers and babies to support them both to thrive!
What happens in a session?
During a session, five comfortable sensors are placed on your scalp and ears. While you’re listening to relaxing music, the system monitors the brain's natural electrical activity 256 times a second. Whenever a sudden shift or stress response is detected, the system responds with a micro-interruption in the music. These auditory cues are the ‘feedback’.
Gradually, the nervous system uses these micro-interruptions in the music like a mirror. Just like catching a glimpse of your reflection naturally prompts you to adjust your posture, these gentle pauses simply alert your brain to its own immediate stress patterns. By instantly noticing these moments, the brain naturally remembers how to quiet its own agitation, step out of old reactive loops, and return to a calm, stable state. This is how brain fitness and efficiency naturally improve as your training progresses.
Over time, you are likely to notice an increase in well-being — this is the effect of your nervous system resetting and being restored to natural balance.
As a trauma-informed practitioner, I utilize this gentle, holistic approach to support families and individuals looking to calm their daily stress loops and cultivate more comfort in their bodies.
