Good questions
deserve clear answers.
A straightforward introduction to the service, the schedule, and the boundaries of wellness-focused brain training.
A form of biofeedback that uses information about brain activity during training. This practice offers it as an educational, wellness-focused service designed to support exploration of self-regulation.
Sensors record activity at the scalp, and a computer provides feedback about the measured signal. Clients typically relax and listen to audio tones. Ask the practitioner to explain the equipment, protocol, and limits before starting.
If you decide to move forward, Deana will send you an intake form to complete before your brain mapping appointment. The information you provide, along with your consultation and brain mapping results, helps Deana better understand your goals and develop an individualized neurofeedback plan.
There is time for a check-in, sensor setup, training, and a conversation afterward. You usually sit comfortably and listen to audio feedback while the practitioner monitors the session.
The recording involves sensors on the scalp, without needles or surgery. Ask about the specific equipment and sensor placement before you begin.
Sensor-based recording is generally intended to be comfortable. Experiences vary; tell the practitioner about discomfort or any concerning response so training can be paused and the next step discussed.
Suitability is discussed individually during the consultation and intake process. Your goals, circumstances, and questions about licensed care all matter.
A parent or guardian can ask about suitability and the practical arrangements for a child or teen. Involve the child’s qualified healthcare professionals where appropriate. Participation and results are not guaranteed.
Appointments generally last approximately 60–90 minutes, including setup and conversation.
Often 2–3 times per week, depending on the person and the agreed plan. Discuss what is practical before you begin.
The number is individualized. Approximately 40 sessions may be recommended, but there is no universal number or guaranteed result.
A longer program may allow repeated training and ongoing observations. Forty is a possible planning recommendation, not a proven threshold after which a specific result will occur. Ask why a particular plan is suggested for you.
Brain mapping commonly refers to recording and organizing information about brain activity. Ask what assessment is used here and how it informs training. This wellness service does not use mapping to diagnose medical or psychological conditions.
Yes. The practitioner travels to clients for in-person sessions. A suitable space and access arrangements are discussed in advance.
