Bio:
At Life Brain Training, we offer NeurOptimal® neurofeedback sessions, machine rentals and support. Because we know what it’s like to be parents , and how sometimes life throws us curveballs.
Who is Life Brain Training : We are a Mum and Dad team that have a passion to help people just like us.
Prior to starting our business, we struggled as parents with our eldest child who had emotional regulation issues. Searching for answers, we were introduced to NeurOptimal® sessions for ourselves to help with stress, depression and anxiety symptoms and got great results. We were so pleased with the results we got that, we wondered If it would help our eldest child with her emotional regulation issues. After some research, we decided to rent a machine for 3 months and were so pleased with the results that we embarked on the certification training and Life Brain Training was born.
What is NeurOptimal ® : NeurOptimal is a dynamical nonlinear form of Neurofeedback that was developed by Psychologists, Dr Val and Sue Brown from the Zengar Institute. It is not considered a medical device, but rather a tool, just like you would go to the gym for your body, this is like a gym for your brain, the difference being that it’s not hard work.
How does NeurOptimal® work?: in its simplest form, sensors are placed on the ears and head to scan the electrical activity in the brain, and you listen to nice relaxing music and the training begins.
It is important to note that nothing is being put into your brain or taken out and you don’t feel anything. The sensors monitor your brain activity (by scanning your brain 256 times a second) and right before it senses a shift in activity, the system will interrupt the music (this is the feedback part of the training). The interruption, signals to your brain that you have a choice to self-regulate and come back to the present or keep doing what you are doing.
A good analogy for this is if you are driving on the freeway and you veer out of your lane, you might hear the rumble strips on the side of the road signaling to you to get back in your lane if you want to (or if your intention was to pull over, you would ignore it!). What you do is 100% your choice and it doesn’t push your brain to do anything it doesn’t want to.
What NeurOptimal® can do for families: NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is designed to optimise brain functioning, helping to reduce stress, improve sleep, enhance focus and so much more. For the whole family, it is a gentle, non-invasive technology that helps support emotional stability, symptoms of ADHD and autism, stress management or even just enabling you to show up as a better version of yourself.
There is no age limit on who can use the system and as it works directly with your own brain and central nervous system, all results are individual and unique to what you need. It is not a medical device, so there is no diagnosis needed, and as it is 100% natural, it is safe to use with medicines or other therapies.
What NeurOptimal® can do for individuals: Prior to renting the system for our family, I was introduced to the tool by my psychologist. I had done many years of self-improvement and knew what to do in terms of getting myself out of a cycle of anxiety or depression, however, in her words "I was stuck". NeurOptimal sessions helped me to become unstuck and feel like there was a way forward.
