Neurogen High Performance Neurofeedback, or HPN, is a gentle form of brain stimulation in combination with electroencephalography (EEG) to measure and balance brain waves and neural activity. Low intensity electrical pulses stimulate the brain to encourage the repair of neuropathways, restore healthy neural function, and promote neuroplasticity.

I believe that every brain is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to mental health, therefore we center all our treatment plans around the individual. Your treatment plan and journey will be unique to you.

Whatever your goals may be, we want to help you achieve them as quickly as possible. I  listen well and truly take the time to understand what you are experiencing so I can formulate a plan together that works for you.

You are involved in every step of the journey!

When you arrive for your first session, I will sit down with you to discuss your goals and review your intake form together. I will explain how the technology works and answer any questions you may have. After that, you will sit in a chair and relax for 20 – 25 minutes while your practitioner moves EEG electrodes around your head to measure and balance the neural activity in each area. Our treatment is passive, rather than active, which means you do not need to perform any activities or other stimuli during the session.

After your session, you may feel tired – this is a good thing! As the neural pathways are being stimulated at each point where the leads are placed, the brain is sending blood to those areas. As we know, blood carries essential components for repair and healing. This process requires energy and fluids (we are moving blood after all!), so be sure that you are well hydrated and do your best to get a full night’s sleep. This will help promote an ideal environment for the rejuvenation and regeneration of the nerves.

Neurogen Brain Balancing uses a two-prong approach to balance and promote healing within the nervous system. The first is to measure, modulate, and balance neural activity. The second is a gentle stimulation that sends signals to the brain to indicate that repair or healing is needed in a specific area (or multiple areas). This is achieved by using low-intensity electrical pulses with electroencephalography (EEG), a clinical tool used to measure the electrical activity of neurons within the brain. Changes in the neural activity can be seen in real-time and the benefits are often felt quickly.

The number of sessions will vary from person to person. While it may take only a few sessions to recognize benefits, it will typically take more sessions for the effects to last. A typical series is 10-15 sessions for adults, while youth usually require less. Initial improvements are often temporary, but due to the cumulative nature of the sessions, the improvements last longer with each session. The good news is that results typically endure and improve over time.

Benefits include improved focus and mental clarity, clearer vision, more restful sleep, increased motivation, decreased anxiety and depression, less irritability, stress, impatience, and anger.

Possible side effects include, but are not necessarily limited to, feeling tired, lightheaded, headaches, or temporary exacerbation of a symptom. Occasionally, individuals may have periods of increased anxiety, increased irritability, or a ack of energy – these are typically short-lived while the brain adapts. If you experience any of these effects, please tell your Neurogen Practitioner. Staying hydrated and resting may help alleviate these symptoms.

No. The amount of energy that is used in HPN is small and very safe. The EEG Amplifier puts out a very small signal that is equivalent to about 1/100th the strength of an AA battery. The signal is less than the strength of a cell phone signal and is far below anything a person can feel or detect. Brain Balancing is safe for persons of all ages.
