Ready to transform your life with a method that goes beyond temporary fixes and gets to the root of your stress?

Imagine having a toolkit designed just for you, helping you achieve a well-regulated nervous system that lets you feel calm, energized, and resilient 🌟 – no matter what life throws at you 😊. 

In your *personalized* Embodied Neurofeedback sessions, we’ll work together to explore and balance the key areas that shape your experience: 

• your brain wave patterns
• nervous system coherence 
• physical body

A powerful, holistic – and natural – approach, the 1-4-U Ripple Experience of Embodied Neurofeedback ensures you can face life’s big AND little challenges with ease and grace 💃, without feeling overwhelmed.

You’ll begin to notice a positive ripple effect in your life 😄 😄 😄, bringing more peace and joy to both yourself and those around you.

Let’s get your Ripple started in this powerful four part experience!

1. Curiosity is the 1-and-Only Key

The first step of the 1-4-U Ripple Experience is incredibly simple yet profoundly powerful: Curiosity ✨. 

So, you may be thinking that I mean “having an open mind and a willingness to explore a new approach”…like Embodied Neurofeedback (what the heck is that anyway? We’re getting there, I promise).

And, while you will need that, obviously…

Here’s what I really mean…

All you need to get started is a genuine sense of curiosity about yourself and your internal world.

Yep, I know, you already know how to be curious (that’s why you’re reading this right now). 

BUT, how often do you stop and really use it in a meaningful way? (Nope, wondering what’s new in Stories doesn’t count here)

If you’re like most of us, not very often. Maybe not even at all. 

But here’s the truth…

Your innate curiosity (it is in there, I promise!) is your key to unlocking new possibilities and perspectives. 💫

Because deep and meaningful transformation doesn’t come from following other people’s advice on positive thinking or the newest detox cleanse – no matter how many people liked it on Instagram. 💔

Curiosity is the gentle nudge that encourages you to ask questions, discover new insights, and understand yourself better. (That can be a little scary sometimes, I know 🫣)

When you use your curiosity to stay engaged and open to the changes you’ll experience in your brain, body, and the rest of your nervous system, you’re more likely to notice subtle shifts and embrace new ways of thinking and being. 

It takes practice, for sure, but this key makes your healing journey not only extremely powerful (because it’s happening at a deeper level)…

But also enjoyable, as you’re more likely to notice – and take pleasure in – the small “wins” you’ll experience at each step. 💃🏽

2. Building Self-Awareness in 4 Areas

To create a truly lasting regulated (and resilient) state, it’s essential to build self-awareness in four key areas: 

1. Your brain
2. (The rest of your) nervous system
3. Your body,
4. And your perspective

You can resolve old, ineffective patterns and reactions by understanding and nurturing all four of these areas simultaneously. (I know, it sounds complicated, but I’ll show you how – you’ve got this 😎).

You’re going straight to (all) the source(s) of your well-being – ensuring that calm, joy, and FLOW are always available ✨ from within. ✨

No more relying on external or artificial sources of joy, calm, and focus that provide only temporary relief (at best). 🤦🏻‍♀️

In the 1-4-U Ripple Experience you’ll use self-awareness to build flexibility and resilience into 4 key areas: 

🧠 Brain Wave Pattern Regulation

Understanding your brain wave patterns is the first step in creating a well-regulated nervous system. Through Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback), you’ll train your brain wave frequencies at various sites – based on where they may be stuck in an unhealthy or inefficient pattern. 

By becoming aware of how your brain functions, you can identify when it’s out of balance and take steps to bring it back into harmony. 

You’ll gain more control over your mental state. 💪🏽

You’ll learn how to recognize and adjust your own brain waves, promoting states of calm and relaxation, or focus and problem-solving – whatever flavor the moment is calling for… (go away worries 👋, I’m busy making Play-Doh rabbits with my kids!) 

➡️ Quick Note About Neurofeedback: 

Neurofeedback can be powerful with minimal to no side effects – when done properly. While it is safe, you don’t want to waste your brain training time (and money💰) working with just anyone. 

Any licensed healthcare provider can purchase the equipment and set up shop, but only some have gone through the extensive training and testing required to become Board Certified in Neurofeedback (BCN). (Be sure your provider is on BCIA’s list.) Also, some providers (even some BCNs) hook you up to the equipment and have you passively watching a movie while your brain hopefully does the work. But, while many of us use car engine metaphors for Neurofeedback (yup, guilty! I mean, they are good metaphors 🤷🏻‍♀️), you know you aren’t actually a car (you’re so smart!). So don’t drop your amazing brain off at the doctor and assume it’ll ❌ magically get “fixed.” Research is now showing that the HUGE results you can get from Neurofeedback happen when the provider is “Attuned” 💫 with you during the process.

💗 Nervous System Regulation and Coherence 

Your nervous system is the bridge between your brain and body, playing a crucial role in how you respond to stress and how you recover from it – if you recover at all (hmm, anyone else here with chronic stress and anxiety? 🙋‍♀️). 

One example of how you can directly impact this bridge between brain and body?

HRV coherence training helps you understand and improve the communication between your heart and brain, fostering a more resilient, adaptive, and regulated nervous system. Yes, you heard that right – you can actually make your brain and heart talk to each other in a more calming and flexible way. 

(🤓 Science nerd break: did you know, your heart 🫀 has its own complex “nervous system” and has a 60-100x more powerful rhythmic electromagnetic field than the brain! Let’s put that to work!)

➡️ Bottom line: Rejuvenating your nervous system ensures that you’re better equipped to handle life’s ups and downs without feeling overwhelmed.

🧘‍♂️ Physical Body Awareness 

Your physical body holds onto stress and trauma, often manifesting in tension, pain, and other health issues (like autoimmune disorders, IBS, heart disease, fibromyalgia…just to name a few). 

With all that going on inside, it’s no wonder many of us – often without realizing it – learn to tune out and turn away from our body’s signals (No kidding! Who would want to keep hearing sirens going off??  😱).

BUT, when you do that, it doesn’t stop the damage that’s occurring – it just builds and builds until you have to pay attention because…

• Suddenly your back hurts so much there’s no way you can be at your desk all day, never mind sit on the sidelines of your daughter’s basketball game. 💔
• Or you make what you think is a pit stop in the bathroom as you’re about to skip out the door to see your favorite band (they haven’t been on tour in years!) and find you’re stuck there all night 😭.

By slowly (at a pace that is comfortable for you) becoming more aware of the sensations in your body, you become more attuned to its signals and can respond to stressors quicker and with greater ease and flexibility. 

When done in a specific, attuned – and nervous system focused – way, Restorative and Yin Yoga, as well as Yoga Nidra and meditative practices, can help you tune into your body’s needs, which will naturally release tension and build flexibility. This self-awareness leads to improvements in connective tissue, reduced pain, and a greater sense of physical well-being, making it easier to navigate daily challenges. 

➡️ Body Bonus: By building self-awareness in this area, you also start to love your body ❤️ – exactly as it is – and find yourself treating it right, naturally, without force or “willpower.”

🕉️ Perspective and Worldview 

Undergoing powerful changes in the first three areas—your brain, nervous system, and physical body—it’s natural for things to feel a bit uncomfortable at first. 

Your current reactions and thought patterns have been ingrained for so long 🧠. 

A tried-and-true overarching worldview guides and supports these profound transformations, helping you navigate through any initial resistance your system might put up. 

Tested over millennia, the Yoga Sutra philosophy provides a comprehensive and non-religious (although compatible with any form of spirituality) framework, encouraging exploration and a shift in perspective that nurtures a mindset promoting your happiness and reducing suffering. 

As your compass, the ancient philosophy will not only help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns but also cultivate more positive and balanced perspectives. 

So, say goodbye 👋 to relying on external circumstances alone, and guide yourself towards finding lasting joy and contentment from within.

By going straight to the sources—your brain, nervous system, body, and perspective— 

AND integrating them in one cohesive system, you create a foundation of self-awareness that is sooooo deep, it can’t help but lead to lasting change. 

3. Uncover the Real You – Vibrant, Confident, and Creative

Soooo, that was it. (Ok, almost – read on for the real prize👇)

There are no more steps you need to take. (Yep, school got out early! Go get a dairy-free, gluten-free “ice cream” 🍦)

Because building resilience in the four key areas naturally leads to uncovering the true You – she’s been there all along. 🦸🏻‍♀️

You’ve peeled back the layers of stress, anxiety – and those annoying reactions 😭😳😡- that have been masking your real self. 😎

Imagine yourself as a bright, shining light that’s been veiled by all the noise and chaos of a dysregulated nervous system and negative beliefs. 

When you clear away the fog, an authentic, calm, and joyful You is revealed underneath. 

And trust me, finding hidden treasure within yourself is soooooo worth the journey! (Especially when the journey itself feels *Ahhh-mazing!*)

4. Own Your Ripple

But wait there’s more! 🎁

When you start feeling more balanced and resilient, you’ll notice a wonderful ripple effect on the world around you. 

Your newfound calm and joy don’t just stay with you—they spread to your family, friends, and (yep) even your coworkers. 😊😊😊

Your calm, resilience, and authenticity creates a calmer, kinder world by giving others safety, permission, and space to feel peaceful being their authentic selves. (Ooh, my heart has goosebumps!)

And let’s not forget the science …➡️  Remember, your heart’s electromagnetic field (the one that’s waaay stronger than your brain’s EMF)? It’s not just in your body. The magnetic component of it radiates beyond your body – it can be measured about 3 feet away! 🤯 (Yep, the hippies were right – again – you are totally puttin’ out Vibes all day long, man. 💗) 

So, like tossing a pebble into a pond; those positive changes in you create waves that gently touch everyone in your life.

Your kids may seem happier, your relationships may become more harmonious, and even those tricky situations at work might feel a bit smoother. (Now, let me be crystal – however they were before, totally not on you. Just pointing out the craaazy impact your Vibe can have on their Vibe.)

It’s amazing how your inner peace (no longer an illusive, abstract concept, but something you feel every day 🎉) can light up your entire environment, making it a more joyful and connected place for everyone around you.

Happier and Lighter: Mariana’s Neurofeedback Story

Mariana used to feel like she was constantly on edge, juggling work and family life while trying to keep her reactions in check. 

Like you, she had tried everything—self-help books, nutrition tips, talking it out, even throwing herself into work to avoid the stress. 

While each of these things helped a bit, they were just temporary fixes – so she could paste a smile on her face 🥹 – and didn’t change how she felt inside.

Skeptical but willing to give it a shot, Mariana started a series of Embodied Neurofeedback sessions, working through The 1-4-U Ripple Experience. 

To her surprise, she felt calmer after just a few sessions. 

As she kept going, her body felt lighter and her mind clearer, like she didn’t have to struggle to stay balanced anymore. 💃🏽

She started sleeping better and waking up refreshed. 

By the end of her journey, Mariana wasn’t just calmer inside; her friends and family noticed it too. She stopped overreacting to the little things, making it so much easier to connect and have fun with them. 👩🏽‍❤️‍👩🏻

Even her kids seemed happier and lighter because she was more relaxed. Her regulated nervous system and the positive changes in her life created a ripple effect, making her home a happier place.

This all sounds great, but you might be wondering…

Are There Side Effects to Neurofeedback?

Wait, what exactly are you doing to my brain? 

Ok, no need to freak out. 🫣 Breathe. 

Neurofeedback (and the other techniques in the 1-4-U Ripple Experience) aren’t doing anything invasive to your brain or body. After decades of research and clinical use, they have no known side effects. 

Instead, the Neurofeedback system receives information from your brain through sensors placed on your head. The sensors receive the electrical signals put out by groups of neurons firing below the surface, but they don’t give off any signal directly back to your brain. (It’s like when you put a thermometer in your mouth – it takes a reading of the heat but it doesn’t actually do anything to your mouth). 

The computer system then gives you – and your brain (even more instantaneously and subtly) – feedback based on the pattern of brain wave frequencies it sensed. 

Think of it like a fun, high-tech mirror that helps you see how your brain is functioning so your brain and body can make positive changes – often on its own (but over time, you also learn how to read and adjust your own body and brain in order to get into whatever state you need). 

Can Neurofeedback Make You Worse?

Rest assured, not only are Neurofeedback and the other methods we use non-invasive, they have also been extensively researched. 

They are not known to have side effects, and when you work with a Board-Certified provider, you can trust that the process will be done safely, without making your current symptoms worse.

In fact, they’re designed to help your brain and body find a better balance naturally. 

Sometimes, very early on in the process, you might experience some unwanted effects – like feeling slightly more tired or wired than usual for a day or so. (Good news: If this does happen, it’s usually a good sign that your brain is going to be very responsive to the feedback – Yay!)

And don’t worry—if there are unwanted effects initially, these typically resolve very quickly as we fine-tune and find your optimal frequency and training sites – a tailor-made plan just for you and your unique brain.

So, while it might seem a bit mysterious at first, remember that we’re just helping you tap into your brain’s natural ability to find balance – to get unstuck from the patterns that are tripping you up. 

It’s all about working with your body’s inherent wisdom, not against it.

And soon enough, you’ll start to notice those positive changes that make everyday life feel a whole lot easier and more enjoyable.
