The Method

NeurOptimal® is a gentle, non-invasive brain training system that uses neurofeedback to help your brain function at its best. It doesn’t force or stimulate the brain—instead, it simply gives your brain real-time feedback about its own activity. With this information, your brain can naturally adjust, reset, and rebalance itself, leading to improved mental clarity, emotional resilience, and overall well-being.

NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is designed for all ages—from infants to seniors—and can be used by anyone looking to support their mental and emotional well-being. Whether you're hoping to improve daily life, enhance performance, or work through challenges like stress, anxiety, or sleep issues, NeurOptimal® offers a safe and natural way to help.

The main goal of NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is to help your brain become more flexible, resilient, and better able to handle whatever life throws your way.

Through gentle brain training, NeurOptimal® supports your brain’s natural ability to self-correct. This can lead to lasting improvements in areas like focus, emotional balance, sleep quality, stress management, cognitive performance, and overall well-being—without diagnosing or controlling the brain in any way.

A NeurOptimal® session is simple, relaxing, and completely non-invasive. You'll sit comfortably while small EEG sensors are placed on your scalp and ears. These sensors don't do anything to the brain—they simply monitor its activity.

As you relax and listen to music, the system picks up on subtle changes in your brain’s electrical activity. When it detects a shift, it gives real-time feedback through tiny pauses or skips in the sound. These brief interruptions gently alert your brain to what it's doing, allowing it to naturally self-correct and improve its functioning.

The entire process is effortless—you don't need to think, concentrate, or try to do anything. Over time, this training can lead to greater mental clarity, emotional balance, better sleep, and improved overall well-being.

Each NeurOptimal® session includes time for check-in, brain training, and wrap-up. You'll start with a brief conversation with your trainer to discuss how you're feeling and any goals or updates you'd like to share.

The actual brain training portion lasts 33 minutes, during which you'll relax while the system gently provides feedback to your brain. After the session, you'll have a few minutes to check in again with your trainer to reflect on the experience and note any changes you may have noticed.

Extra time is also included for placing and removing the EEG sensors, so please allow a little more than 33 minutes for a standard session.

Clients can also book an extended session, which includes two 33-minute brain training segments with a short break in between. This is ideal for those looking for a deeper or more intensive experience.

There’s no fixed schedule for NeurOptimal® sessions—the ideal frequency depends on your goals, how you feel, and your lifestyle. Many people start with 2 to 3 sessions per week for a few weeks to help the brain adjust and build new patterns. In the early stages, regular sessions are more effective than occasional ones. Think of it like going to the gym—steady effort brings better results.

Everyone's brain is unique and a specific number of sessions for a desired outcome cannot be predicted.

The key is self-awareness—pay attention to how you feel mentally, emotionally, and physically. Your own experience will guide you in knowing when to continue, pause, or resume training.

You don’t need to concentrate or “do” anything during the session. In fact, you're welcome to simply relax—or engage in any quiet, or calming activity such as reading, drawing, journaling, knitting, or closing your eyes—as long as it doesn’t involve sound. The system works automatically, allowing your brain to train effortlessly in the background.

NeurOptimal® takes a different approach from traditional treatments. It’s not designed to treat specific diagnoses like ADHD, anxiety, or insomnia. Instead, it works on the understanding that many challenges arise when the brain gets stuck in unhelpful, rigid patterns.

How it works: NeurOptimal® acts like a mirror, showing the brain its own activity in real-time. This "mirror" is the same for everyone—no matter your age, background, gender, or diagnosis. The brain uses this feedback to naturally reorganize and improve its function in the way that’s best suited for you as an individual.

Because it supports the whole central nervous system, many clients notice unexpected benefits beyond their original goals—such as improved sleep, clearer thinking, or better mood regulation.

The key idea is that your brain "knows best" how to heal and balance itself. NeurOptimal® simply provides information and gentle feedback, allowing your brain to lead the process naturally—without forcing changes or causing side effects.
