Been a while since we took a breath together.

Let’s get back to it!
 The physiological sigh.

A natural way your body releases stress.

Here’s how to do it:
 🫁 Inhale through your nose 🫁 Take a second, shorter inhale on top 🫁 Exhale slowly through your mouth

Repeat as needed.

Your nervous system will thank you.

If you understand your patterns but still feel stuck, you’re not doing therapy “wrong.” 🔄

You can be self-aware, motivated, and doing “all the right things” but still feel like your body didn’t get the memo.

Sometimes insight isn’t the missing piece. 🤔
�Sometimes the nervous system needs more capacity first.

Neurofeedback doesn’t replace therapy or bypass the work.
�Neurofeedback can support regulation at a foundational level, making therapy feel safer, steadier, and more effective over time. 😌

Not instead of therapy.
�In support of it. ⚖️

As we wrap up the final month of 2025, here are a few things we’re officially leaving behind 👋🏻 (for the sake of our brains, our bodies, and our nervous systems):

We’re leaving behind white-knuckling our way through stress. Pushing through isn’t resilience, it’s a sign your system has been in survival mode for too long.

We’re leaving behind running on no sleep and only coffee. The brain can’t regulate when it’s exhausted. Sleep isn’t optional; it’s neurobiology.

We’re leaving behind pretending burnout is a personality trait. Burnout isn’t who you are; it’s what happens when your physiology has been overextended without repair.

We’re leaving behind trying to mindset our way out of dysregulation. Thoughts matter, but they can’t override a nervous system that’s overwhelmed. Regulation starts in the body and the brain’s networks.

And we’re definitely leaving behind calling it overreacting when it’s actually a survival pattern. Your system isn’t dramatic, it’s protective. More compassion, less self-blame.

Here’s to walking into 2026 with more awareness, more gentleness, and tools that genuinely support the brain.

✨ A clearer, calmer year starts with a supported nervous system. ✨

Closed our eyes, pointed fingers, and revealed a lot about our team. 🧠

Turns out, each of us brings something different to the neurofeedback room.

What came out might be funny..but what stands out is how every person brings a skill and a perspective that makes this team stronger.

A reminder that even in a room full of focus and technology, we’re still humans who like to laugh at ourselves.

Grateful for my neuro family. 💕

Human first. Therapist second.

I show up in the therapy room with training, experience, and tools - yes of course. 📚

But I also show up as a real person.

Someone who laughs, learns, gets things wrong sometimes, and keeps growing right alongside the people I support.

Because healing doesn’t happen from perfection.

It happens in connection. ✨

Client stories are my favourite stories. 🧠💛

Let’s be real, neurofeedback seems a little woo from the outside. I get it.

Most people don’t realize how much solid neuroscience sits underneath it, so a healthy dose of skepticism is completely normal.

I’d have it too!

And change can feel hard to imagine until your nervous system actually experiences it. Especially when your brain has been in survival mode for so long. 🔄

For so many people, the hardest part is taking that first step.

When the brain begins to recalibrate, the things that once felt heavy start to feel just a little more manageable. Bit by bit, balance returns… and so does a sense of you.

Curious if neurofeedback could support your own reset?

So grateful for this amazing neurofeedback team.

The kind of people who show up with skill, heart, and just the right amount of “sure, go ahead and hook me up for the photo.” 😂🧠✨

Jamie, thank you for your s***k, your eagerness to dive headfirst into anything we’re doing, and for being the ultimate right-hand man. Your energy makes the room lighter, your curiosity makes our work better, and your willingness to jump in (even when it means being the one in the cap) is everything.
 Hana, thank you for your steady presence, your attention to every detail, and for taking on any idea I throw your way. You bring a calm steadiness to the space, notice the little things that matter, and somehow make even the most tangled wires look graceful.

And to both of you: thank you for keeping the train rolling and making every client who walks through the door feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. I seriously couldn’t do this without you. 💛

QEEG before ➡️ after 15 sessions of neurofeedback.

Presenting concerns: Anxiety, depression, and emotion regulation difficulties.

What changed in the brain:
 🧠 Delta: Decrease in excessive Delta activity and improved communication across regions, suggesting better alertness, mental clarity, and emotional stability (less “fog” or emotional heaviness)

🧠 Alpha: Reduced excess frontal Alpha, reflecting improved engagement, motivation, and emotional responsiveness
 🧠 Beta & High Beta: Reduced activation, reflecting less overarousal and mental tension, often linked to decreased anxiety and racing thoughts
 🧠 Theta: Still elevated, but now showing much better communication across regions, a sign of improving integration and regulation.

Based on these findings, we’ll continue with a more targeted approach over the next 10 sessions to support Theta regulation further.

Overall, this pattern reflects a brain moving toward balance, clarity, and adaptability, the foundation for emotional resilience.

Change starts in the brain, and ripples outward. 💛

Curious how neurofeedback could help for you? Let’s connect. 💌

Gratitude helps the nervous system settle.
 It gently reminds the brain that we are safe, supported, and connected.

I’m feeling deeply thankful today: for the people I work with, for the stories I get to witness, and for the power of the brain to change and heal.
 Wishing you a restful and heart-filled Thanksgiving. 🍁🧠🧡

 Because your brain deserves good vibes too.

I’ve had a lot of people reach out asking about what somatic psychotherapy is since welcoming my newest team member who specializes in this approach.

Somatic psychotherapy is a type of therapy that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. 🧘🏻🧘🏽‍♀️

It recognizes that stress, emotions, and trauma often live in our physical experience.

This means that these things can show up through tension, posture, breath, or nervous system responses. 🫁🧠

Unlike traditional talk therapy alone, somatic therapy invites the body into the conversation.

This approach can be especially supportive for people who feel stuck even after talking things through, or for those navigating trauma, transitions, anxiety, or chronic stress.

Healing isn’t just about changing thoughts, it’s about helping the body feel safe and alive again. ✨

If you’re curious about whether somatic therapy might be right for you, I’d love to chat. 💛

Did you know our amazing neurofeedback technician, Jamie, wears a lot of hats? 👒🎩🧢

By day, he’s a full-time kindergarten teacher wrangling tiny humans and shaping big imaginations.

By evening, he’s here in the clinic helping brains find their balance. 🧠⚡

And as if that wasn’t enough… he also sidelines as a children’s book author! 📚✨

His stories are funny, heartwarming, and inclusive; bringing joy and representation to kids everywhere.

Basically, he’s proof that superheroes don’t always wear capes…

Sometimes they carry books, EEG sensors, and finger paint. 💪😄
