My initial experience with NeurOptimal^® was remarkable and led me to becoming a practitioner. While I personally benefited from Sessions – improved clarity and focus and a heightened sense of well-being mostly – it was witnessing how veterans were helped at the Kingston Institute of Psychotherapy and Neurofeedback that had the most profound effect. As I was introduced to NeurOptimal^® by two medical doctors, including a psychiatrist, I assumed the technology was being embraced by the medical mental health community. That was in 2011. Unfortunately, this widespread acceptance has not yet occurred, despite pockets of enthusiastic adoption by professionals open to new approaches.
In recent years my focus has been introducing NeurOptimal^® to First Responders. A blog on NeurOptimal^®’s website summarizes the life changing results of a recent project and I encourage you to pass the link on to any First Responders you may know: https://neuroptimal.com/calm-minds-save-lives-neuroptimal-and-first-responders/
My scientific background led me on a winding journey to where I am today. My first degree was in Biochemistry from McGill University, a pioneering institution in brain research. I followed my BSc with a series of graduate neuroscience courses, drawn by an interest in how the brain works, particularly regarding neuropathology and the brain’s ability to heal itself. After working a few years in medical research, I decided to continue my education in a different direction and received a certificate in computer programming followed by a master’s in information management. This led to a fulfilling research career in inter- and intra-enterprise data integration. When I discovered NeurOptimal^® in 2011 and learned that the basis for its profound results was “information sharing,” I realized I had encountered one of the most important applications of technology possible, as it had the power to change lives. NeurOptimal^® provides the brain with information in a completely natural way that leads to the brain changing and balancing itself.
I am currently one of the more senior practitioners working with NeurOptimal^®, a bit of a pioneer you might say. I am honored to be an official representative of Zengar^® as well as an instructor for the Basic Certification Course. While I still offer occasional in-office Sessions, my current focus is on providing NeurOptimal^® rentals and courses. I take my machine rentals very seriously to ensure that each renter feels confident that they are getting the maximum out of their investment. I am especially happy and proud when a rental goes so well that it turns into the person or group buying their own machine. Through offering the Basic Certification Course to new owners, I am able to pass on what I’ve learned – tips and tricks, insights and examples of real-life situations. I am especially happy to be able to include a complimentary stay at our gorgeous B&B for anyone attending the course (space permitting). Being located in the country but close to the shores of Lake Huron, it is a perfect spot to learn, grow and relax.
