qEEG Brain Mapping
Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG) is a cutting-edge brain mapping technology that measures electrical patterns at the surface of your scalp, reflecting your brain's activity. Using advanced analysis, qEEG interprets these patterns, offering a window into your brain's function and guiding personalized treatment plans.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses a low level of electrical current to stimulate specific areas of the brain. This stimulation can enhance or diminish the activity of neurons in that area, influencing brain function.
-
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that trains the brain to function more efficiently. By monitoring brain activity in real-time, this innovative approach helps the client learn to regulate their own brainwaves, leading to improved focus, behavior, and emotional well-being.
-
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a therapeutic technique that trains individuals to control bodily processes that are typically involuntary, such as heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, and brain activity. Biofeedback helps individuals understand how their body responds to stress or other stimuli and learn to control these responses, leading to improved health and well-being.

Micronutrient Testing
Genetically, everyone metabolizes micronutrients differently. The SpectraCell micronutrient test is a specialized blood test that measures functional levels of various vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients within the white blood cells. Unlike standard blood tests that measure the static levels of nutrients, this test assesses how well the cells can utilize these nutrients, providing a more functional view of nutrient status over a longer period. Understanding these deficiencies can be crucial in determining the root cause of various health issues, such as chronic fatigue, immune system problems, or mental health conditions.
-
Food Intolerance and Sensitivity Testing
Food intolerances can cause a range of symptoms such as digestive issues, bloating, headaches, fatigue, skin problems, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. By identifying the foods that your body struggles to process or react negatively to, you can tailor your diet to avoid these triggers. The MRT test is a method used to identify potential food intolerances or sensitivities. Unlike food allergies, which can cause immediate and severe reactions, food intolerances or sensitivities may lead to subtler, chronic symptoms like digestive issues, headaches, or fatigue, and they can be harder to pinpoint.
-
Psychotherapy
Individual, group, couples, and family psychotherapy are all important tools that help the client learn to manage their stress. Psychotherapy provides a supportive environment where individuals can discuss their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors with a trained professional who helps them understand and address their emotional challenges. The goal of psychotherapy is to gain insight into one's life and to learn new coping strategies for dealing with problems.

Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation (PBM) uses low-level light therapy to stimulate cellular activity and improve neurological function. By enhancing mitochondrial energy production and reducing oxidative stress, PBM supports brain health and can improve conditions like depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. It also promotes neuroplasticity and increases cerebral blood flow, which can enhance memory, focus, and overall mental clarity.

Virtual Reality CBT
Virtual Reality Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (VR CBT) is an innovative form of therapy that combines traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with immersive virtual reality environments. By simulating real-life scenarios, VR CBT allows individuals to confront fears, practice social skills, or address anxiety-provoking situations in a safe, controlled, and customizable setting.
