Neurofeedback
Empower Your Brain & Calm Your Nervous System
NeurOptimal® NFB is a brain training system – it’s like taking your brain to the gym. As such, clients are called trainees, and practitioners are trainers. NeurOptimal® is the only NFB like it in the world and it is based on the philosophy that given the right conditions/information, people will heal themselves. This is critical for us at BOOM Healing as we share this philosophy and bring it into sessions with clients.
NeurOptimal® NFB is called non-direction, non-linear, and dynamical. It provides trainees with real-time feedback on their brain activity (the system takes 256 electrical readings per second) and empowers trainees’ brains to make their own adjustments. In other words, it is a completely non-invasive technology – it simply acts as a mirror so your brain can “see” how it is functioning and make adjustments if needed or wanted.
NeurOptimal® does not push a trainee’s brain in any direction and no diagnosis is needed to train. Moreover, NeurOptimal® respects that all brains function in an individual way – there is no one way to be healthy or optimal. In our experience this makes NeurOptimal® neurodivergent affirming technology.
What it Does
So what can NeurOptimal® NFB do for the trainee? First it is important to say that each trainee is individual and each NeurOptimal® NFB session is unique – as such the ways NeurOptimal® NFB helps is distinct. Some things that trainees have noticed include:
- Improved focus
- Feeling more productive
- Help with sleep management
- Help with promoting a healthy lifestyle
- Help with ‘mental acuity’
- Boost in self-esteem
- Feeling more calm and certain
- Coping better with things
What to Expect at BOOM Healing
When you enter BOOM Healing you will be greeted by a beautiful waiting room with a fireplace and tea. When it’s your session time, we will invite you upstairs.
Your first session will always include a chat about NeurOptimal® NFB, a chance to have your questions answered, and signing of consent forms. Following this, you will be invited to get comfy and snuggle up in the large armchair provided. We keep the room warm, unless you ask otherwise, and typically light a candle. Once comfort is established, we will attach the 2 head sensors and 3 gentle ear clips using a dab of conductive paste and start the session. A session lasts 33 minutes and you stay cozy and listen to music. The music contains the feedback which sounds like little breaks or crackles. Clients typically report that sessions are very relaxing and comfortable.
