How Does NeurOptimal® Work?
Neurofeedback Training with the NeurOptimal® system reorganizes the brain to operate more efficiently. It is used by thousands of people to bring more ease, joy and peace into their lives.
The NeurOptimal® system is a non-invasive brain training method that teaches self-regulation and helps build resilience and flexibility. This advanced brain training technology -- developed in part by, NASA-level engineers -- works by triggering what’s called the orienting response, which is the brain’s ability to sense change in the environment and take in new information about what is different.
What Results Can I Expect With Neurofeedback Training?
There is no standard answer to these questions because everyone’s central nervous system is unique. While we cannot predict what your brain will do with the information it receives from the neurofeedback therapy training, we can offer a few guidelines.
Clients describe after a neurofeedback session feeling clearer, calmer, lighter or brighter for a few hours after the session – a feeling that typically will last through the week, from one session to the next (weekly sessions being the most common). Eventually, this new-centred way of becoming their “new normal”. Only if they get thrown off by a negative event - a bad day at work, chemicals, a knock on the head - might they drop into the way they felt before. But generally, they will not dip as deeply into emotional discomfort and will more than likely bounce back from challenging situations much more quickly and easily. Here's one of our client's feedback.
“The process is deceptively simple — being hooked up to a neurofeedback device and sitting quietly. Afterwards, there’s a subtle but powerful shift in feeling — I feel more present, and relaxed, and have greater well-being. It’s been very effective in working with my anxiety.”

NeurOptimal® Reviews - How Effective is Neurofeedback?
Here’s a recent review from one of our rental clients:
My husband and I are experiencing wonderful, unexpected progress. I'm also reading a book called, “The Body Keeps the Score” about trauma, ADD and PTSD and ways to heal. Science made fascinating! Chapter 19, "Applied Neuroscience," is all about neurofeedback and the amazing way the brain can heal its electrical pathways and grow new ones through Neurofeedback. This gives me so much hope.
I rented a Neurofeedback machine for 3 months and have been very pleased with the results. I feel calmer and more focused. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity. Sara and Kate were wonderful and responsive. Thank you very much.
J. Rented a system 2021 for 3 months
The sessions are going well. Thank you for the reminder. I'm noticing some changes in my focus and anxiety and in my son's response as well, which is great. We will definitely make sure we do the recommended minimum. I have been training nightly during the week since it seems to work with my schedule. I want to mention that my dreams have been very vivid lately as well.
