Biofeedback for high blood pressure
One of the many benefits of biofeedback training is lowering high blood pressure. Recent research has shown the connection between high blood pressure and impaired cognition. I totally agree – if your brain isnt getting the blood and oxygen it needs, or if youre feeling anxious which often causes high blood pressure, your brain wont work the way it should nor will you be able to concentrate.

Exposure Therapy
Exposure therapy and systematic desensitization are so affective for anxiety disorders including phobias and PTSD. Biofeedback and neurofeedback tools help prepare the individual for exposure through training and gaining skills to self-regulate the physiological response to stress, known as fight or flight.

Stress and weight gain
Hormones play a major role in weight gain/loss. That’s why we can all eat the same diet and get different results. If you’re stressed, your cortisol hormone, which is meant to work w your ability to metabolize foods, will instead work with your fight/flight response. Call me to learn skills to de-stress.

The Chameleon Syndrome
When we blend in to protect ourselves from others and/or please others. This is damaging to one’s self leading to incongruencies between ideal self and real self.
Biofeedback and neurofeedback are empowering and help to overcome this syndrome. Training validates experiences, increases understanding of maladaptive patterns, and helps individuals gain control over physiological responses. As a result, there becomes little need for protection.
Don’t be a chameleon. The world likes it best when YOU show up.
