🧠NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback with Carol Ann
Gentle brain training to help you feel more like yourself - naturally.
If you’re navigating anxiety, overwhelm, tic disorders, burnout, brain fog, concussion symptoms, trauma, or sensory sensitivities—or if your child is—you’re not alone. And you don’t have to “push through” or “figure it out” on your own.
NeurOptimal® is a non-invasive, intuitive form of neurofeedback that helps the brain become more flexible, calm, and resilient—without needing any diagnosis, brain mapping, or complicated protocols. It’s safe, easy, and designed to meet your system exactly where it is.
Unlike other forms of neurofeedback, NeurOptimal doesn’t “train” your brain to behave in a certain way. Nothing is being done to your brain—your brain is simply receiving real-time feedback about its own activity, which helps it naturally reorganize and regulate itself in the way it knows how.
🌿 So, how does it work?
During a session, five small sensors are gently placed on your scalp and ears. You’ll listen to music—or a children’s show if that’s more your speed—through a tablet. As the system monitors brain activity, it delivers subtle interruptions (like a brief pause or “skip” in the sound) when it detects a shift in your brain’s patterns. That moment of feedback creates a kind of mirror for the brain.
Imagine doing yoga for years without ever seeing yourself in a mirror—and then one day, suddenly having one appear. You might notice your downward dog’s a little off. That awareness alone helps you begin to adjust.
That’s what NeurOptimal does: it helps the brain see itself, so it can choose to function more smoothly.
And because your brain is always in charge, it will never push itself faster than it’s ready to go. That’s why side effects are extremely rare—and why this system is even used with people in comas, or with sleeping children who wouldn’t tolerate traditional neurofeedback.
💫 Real-life impact
NeurOptimal is like a gym for your brain. As your brain begins to regulate itself more efficiently, improvements may be noticed in areas like:
• Sleep
• Mood and emotional regulation
• Focus and executive functioning
• Sensory sensitivity
• Cognitive clarity and memory
• Energy levels and motivation
• Headaches, including migraines
• Digestion, immune function, and more
You can do whatever you like during a session—nap, read, scroll on your phone, answer emails, or just rest.
Many parents find that homework time becomes easier, meltdowns decrease, and family life begins to feel more connected and harmonious. (And yes, I often recommend parents do sessions too—brains “synch up,” and the whole home benefits.)
✨ Why work with me?
There are many people offering NeurOptimal rentals—but most don’t have a clinical background, and even fewer have deep specialization in nervous system regulation.
I’ve worked as a clinical social worker for over 30 years, supporting sensitive and complex individuals and families. I’m also neurodivergent myself and have personal experience with ADHD, fibromyalgia, chronic insomnia, trauma, anxiety, sound sensitivities, MTHFR, and brain injury/post-concussion syndrome. In my family there is also tic disorders, autism, selective mutism, Ehler Danlos syndrome and more. This work isn’t just professional for me—it’s personal. I know what it’s like to need something that’s truly gentle.
In many cases, NeurOpitmal with me is covered under extended health plans that cover social workers in Ontario. I also have discounts available. Please enquire for details.
If any challenges arise during your use of the system, I can offer nervous system based simple, effective strategies to help you get back on track—quickly and gently.
NeurOptimal Pricing
Those accessing NeurOptimal with me who have extended health plans that cover social workers in Ontario, may be reimbursed for their sessions, within the limits of their plan.
In person sessions, when available are $180 each.
NeurOptimal Rental System Packages
Discounts are often available, please enquire for details. Free local delivery is often possible (Brantford, Paris, Hamilton, Cambridge, Kitchener, Burlington and surrounding area). Shipping available across Canada at an additional charge.
Unlimited sessions, over 2 weeks.....$630
Unlimited sessions, over 4 weeks.....$990
After renting for 4 weeks additional 4 week periods can be added on for $810
The systems are very easy to use and come with everything you need - conductive paste, manual, etc... Support and advice via email is also included.
Feel free to share your sessions with family members. If a child is doing brain training it is ideal if at least one parent is also having sessions.
When people do brain training together they tend to "synch up" better and feel more connected. As we begin to improve we are able to support the improvements of others.
If you choose to purchase a NeurOptimal system after renting, I’ll rebate up to $150 of your rental fee. Be sure to ask me how to access this before purchasing.
