"Neurofeedback is on the cutting edge of the mind-body revolution. I believe it is one of the treatments that will keep us moving toward an era of new approaches of naturally managing our health. Deborah Stokes is an extremely gifted therapist who is on the forefront of her profession."

Many of our clients with insomnia report that they have a "busy brain" that chatters away at night, keeping them awake. Some are chronically stressed and can't seem to wind down at the end of the day in order to fall asleep. Others can fall asleep but wake up throughout the night or in the early morning. Neurofeedback helps to quiet the mind chatter and relax the body and the stress response so that sleep is more easily achieved and maintained throughout the night. Clients also report that their sleep is more efficient and restorative.
I had a hard time falling asleep before the Neurofeedback sessions. I felt as if my brain was re-living the day's events and playing over each stressful work situation. There is one particularly difficult problem in my life right now that used to torment me nightly. It took only a few sessions for me to learn to relax and let go. I can now shut off this running commentary where before it seemed to control me. Now I am off my sleeping medication feel more refreshed in the morning. I rarely have to use the meds to fall asleep any more.

I was a skeptic. Yet, I couldn't sleep without pills and was living my life in an anxious fog. One year after treatment, I have no trouble sleeping. I am focused, calm, and efficient in all aspects of my life. I've even lost 25 pounds! "Braintraining" turned my life around."
