Good Afternoon Clinic Family!

We are happy to announce that we have begun working with MARAbio, a company that uses a quantitative approach via in vitro assay to identify the presence of maternal autoantibodies in plasma from Mothers. This information will allow us to evaluate the risk for a subset of autism in mothers who have a biological child symptomatic for autism or a child diagnosed with autism.

For further information, please contact:

Bioray now has an Infant Line of Products!

Gentle Support for Life’s Earliest Moments

When a baby is uncomfortable, it affects feeding, sleep, and the overall ease of the day. Supporting digestion and elimination during this early stage can help babies feel more comfortable and settled. This line was created to offer gentle, reliable support so babies can feel more at ease in their bodies, and parents can feel more supported as they care for them.

🤰Everyone talks about postpartum depression—but perinatal depression (depression during pregnancy) is rarely discussed. Pregnancy is often described as a beautiful time, yet for many women it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and emotionally heavy. And when those feelings show up, they’re often met with guilt instead of support.

😔If you’re struggling during pregnancy, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it silently. This season of life is a major transition: you’re not just preparing to welcome a baby, you’re becoming a new version of yourself. That transformation can be powerful, but it can also be incredibly challenging.

We’re here to support you through it. Our team offers TMS therapy as a safe, non-medication option for treating perinatal depression. This article has great information for you to reference about treatment: https://womensmentalhealth.org/posts/transcranial-magnetic-stimulation-for-perinatal-depression/

If you’re feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or not like yourself, reach out to our TMS Coordinator—we’re here to help you feel like you again 💞

Clinic family….We are almost here! Summer time is right around the corner, perfect weather for outdoors and sports! Here at the clinic we offer Neurofeedback, which is the use of noninvasive electrodes to measure brain wave activity to form a protocol in order to train brain waves to a specific range to improve things such as: insomnia, ADHD, ASD, anxiety, and even sports performance.

A study completed by Tosti et al., titled Neurofeedback Training Protocols in Sports: A systematic review of Recent Advances in Performance, Anxiety, and Emotional Regulation dives into advantages that neurofeedback can provide for your family!

Neurofeedback influences athletic performance, cognitive functioning, and emotional regulation. The review spans a wide range of sports and athlete experience levels, highlighting that neurofeedback protocols—targeting EEG frequency bands such as alpha, beta, theta, and SMR—consistently improve technical skills, reaction time, attention, working memory, emotional regulation, and anxiety management. Overall, the findings support neurofeedback as an effective tool for enhancing both sport-specific and cognitive performance.

As Mother's Day approaches we wanted to remind you (and Dads who step in as nurturers):

💛 YOU’RE NOT ALONE 💛

Becoming a mother brings many emotions—joy, love, and sometimes feeling overwhelmed or unlike yourself. If you’ve been struggling, gentle and effective support is available, TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, simply put: gently lighting up the brain that feels sad, while calming down the areas that are overstimulated from stress).

Key Benefits for New Mothers:

✨ Effective Care: Many patients experience improved mood, reduced depression, and better daily functioning.

🍼 Breastfeeding-Friendly: Does not pass through breast milk and is safe for nursing mothers

🧠 Gentle Treatment: Painless with no cognitive side effects

🌿 Alternative to Medication: Helpful for those who prefer to avoid or haven’t responded to antidepressants.

Depending on your policy, insurance may cover treatment. We work hard to get it approved, and if it is not, we have the lowest self-pay rate in all of North Carolina.

👩‍🍼Mom: You’ve learned to accept so much — but that doesn’t make the hard moments any easier to watch 😔💔

👨‍🍼Dad: You've given everything, but the options to help have seem to run dry...

💙 As parents, you would do anything to help your child thrive. But you can't do it alone.

If your child is on the autism spectrum, you know the feeling… searching, researching, hoping. Wanting something — anything — that could make communication a little easier, social situations a little less overwhelming, and everyday life a little smoother for them.

And at the same time, you’ve probably learned to be cautious. The word “cure” doesn’t sit right. False promises and disappointment can take a toll. Because the goal isn’t to change who your child is — it’s to support them in living their fullest, happiest life.

That’s why we’ve been talking more about TMS therapy.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, cutting-edge treatment that is beginning to show real promise in helping with some of the challenges associated with autism — like communication, behavior regulation, and social interaction. While research is still ongoing and thoughtful optimism is important, the potential is something we simply couldn’t ignore.

We made the decision to invest in this technology for our special needs families… and we’ve already started to see meaningful, encouraging changes in some of the children we’re working with. Moments that matter. Small wins that feel big. Glimpses of progress that give hope.

✨ More connection
✨ More engagement
✨ More ease in everyday life

We know every child is different. And we would never promise a miracle. But we do believe in exploring every opportunity that could help your child thrive.

If you’ve been wondering whether there’s something more out there… our TMS coordinator wants to talk to you 🙏 For more information, please reach out to her here:
