Neurofeedback (NFB)
Neurofeedback typically begins with a quantitative EEG (QEEG, or brain map) to identify dysregulation that is contributing to mood, anxiety, learning or other issues. The QEEG results in a set of neurofeedback protocols to address this dysregulation. Neurofeedback is also used for “brain brightening,” helping to offset factors of normal aging by enhancing memory and performance.

Enneagram
The Enneagram has been used for many decades as a tool for self-awareness. It describes 9 distinct personality types, each having unique strengths and challenges. Understanding your personality type can help identify repeated, unhealthy behavior patterns that thwart personal development, as well as the path to integration and better emotional health. Enneagram work is useful for individuals, couples, families, and corporate work groups.
I believe the most powerful transformation comes from examining brain, behavior, and personality patterns in order to holistically address issues that stand in the way of a fuller life.
