Meet
The Breakthrough Team
Raquel Younglove, CEO and Founder
Hi! I’m Raquel Younglove, the visionary founder and CEO of Breakthrough Neurofeedback and Breaking Barriers Coaching, with more than three decades of expertise in understanding human behavior and 30 years of entrepreneurial success in the health and wellness industry.
A veteran in the neurofeedback industry with over 20 years of global experience, I specialize in helping clients achieve mental clarity, emotional balance, and peak performance through advanced neurofeedback techniques. My expertise spans both linear and Dynamical Neurofeedback systems, complemented by certifications in areas of Strategic Intervention, Trauma Solutions, Advanced Coaching, and studies with the Flow Research Institute.
By combining cutting-edge science-backed technology with science-backed strategies and compassionate support, I help clients achieve mental clarity, emotional balance, and peak performance.
My personal experiences with overcoming trauma, physical challenges, and single parenting have shaped my empathetic and solution-focused approach. After a life-changing car accident at age 15 and a failed spinal surgery, as well as significant trauma and loss as a child and adult, I’ve experienced first-hand the transformative power of neurofeedback for myself (and my son), in managing grief, improving resilience, and optimizing brain health. It is these personal experiences that inspired me to establish Breakthrough Neurofeedback as a hub for mental, emotional, and physical wellness.
In addition to neurofeedback, I provide high-performance and mental health coaching through Breaking Barriers Coaching, equipping clients with practical tools to thrive in their personal and professional lives. Whether it’s improving time management, deepening relationships, creating sustainable self-care habits that help you stay in your A-game or charting that path to your greatest dreams, my coaching is grounded in science and fueled by passion.
I am committed to helping clients from all walks of life step into their full potential, empowering individuals to create lasting, meaningful change and live their healthiest, most fulfilling lives.
