Transformed My Mental Health
"My crippling anxiety and uncontrollable frustration were hijacking my ability to parent effectively and preventing me from connecting with my children. Neurofeedback released me from their powerful grip, transforming my mental health in a way that medication, talk therapy, exercise and nutrition never had. Now I have the capacity to put into action everything I have learned about how to parent children from hard places!"
