Frequently Asked Questions

For some people whose main issue is focus and follow‑through, HEG‑only can be a very effective starting point. For more complex patterns (sleep, mood, trauma, brain fog), the best results usually come from both: neurofeedback for whole‑brain regulation plus HEG for targeted prefrontal strength.

Many people notice shifts in focus, frustration tolerance, or “mental stamina” within the first few weeks, especially when training consistently. Deeper executive‑function changes tend to build over 6–12 weeks of regular use.

The way we use HEG, the goal is balanced activation and regulation, not “more activation at all costs.” If someone feels overstimulated, we adjust frequency, duration, and protocols so training feels productive, not overwhelming.

Yes, when used correctly. HEG is non‑invasive, uses no electricity into the brain, and sessions are short and gentle. We adjust protocols based on age, history, and sensitivity, and give parents clear guidance for at‑home use.

Many people with concussion/TBI or long‑term neurological challenges use tPBM as part of a broader care plan. We review your history first and, when appropriate, encourage coordination with your medical providers so everyone is on the same page.

Many people notice shifts in clarity, energy, or sleep quality within the first few weeks, especially with consistent use (3–5 sessions per week). Deeper support for brain fog, fatigue, or long‑term stress load typically builds over 1–3 months.

It can, depending on timing and settings. Some protocols feel more activating, especially if used later in the day. Others are more calming. We help you choose the right timing and approach — for example, daytime vs evening use — based on your goals and how your system responds.

tPBM uses low‑level red and near‑infrared light — not heat or lasers that burn tissue. When used properly and within recommended settings, it’s designed to support cellular energy and healthy blood flow, not cause damage. We guide you on safe use, timing, and dosing so it’s appropriate for your brain and nervous system.

That’s what the Brain Regulation Pattern Quiz andBrain Plan Call are for. We look at your patterns, goals, and capacity, thenrecommend whether to start with neurofeedback, a tools‑only reset, or a BrainPower Stack that combines both.

In many cases, yes. HEG and tPBM are gentle, non‑invasive tools that can be appropriate for children and teens when used correctly. We review age, history, and sensitivities with you first and give clear, age‑appropriate protocols.

Yes. One HEG or tPBM system can often be safely used by multiple family members under one plan, which is why many families like starting with these tools. We’ll give you clear guidelines on who can use what, how often, and how to share equipment safely.

For some people, tools‑only can be enough to see meaningful changes in focus, energy, sleep, or recovery. For others, the best results come from both: neurofeedback to retrain wiring and tools (HEG, tPBM, BioMat, LifeWave) to support fuel, blood flow, and recovery. We’ll help you decide what makes sense for your situation.

Notalways. Some people start with tools‑only plans (like HEG Executive Focus Resetor a Brain Energy Reset with tPBM) as a gentler or more affordable first step. Others add tools on top of neurofeedback as part of a Brain Power Stack for deeper or faster results.

Yes. We offer payment plans on most programs and 0% financing through CareCredit for qualified clients. We never want money to be the sole reason someone stays stuck; we’ll walk through options with you.

Many clients use HSA/FSA funds for eligible services. Check with your plan; we can provide receipts and documentation as needed.

We are an approved provider for TriWest, Colorado Medicaid, and Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) in certain cases. Coverage and eligibility vary by person and program. We’ll review this with you during your Brain Plan Call or first visit.

Pricing depends on whether you’re doing in‑person or at‑home, 25‑ vs 40‑session Brain Reset Foundation, and whether you add tools or Brain Power Stacks. We’ll go over clear options and numbers on your Brain Plan Call before you decide anything.

No. We do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical or psychiatric conditions. We work on brain and nervous system function to support how you feel and perform in daily life, and we encourage you to keep appropriate medical and therapeutic care in place.

Often, yes. Many clients work with us alongside medication and/or therapy. We don’t prescribe or manage meds and we do not replace your therapist. We’re happy to collaborate with your providers when appropriate.

Neurofeedback and our tools are non‑invasive and generally well‑tolerated. Occasionally, people feel temporarily more tired, wired, or emotional as the brain adjusts (similar to starting a new workout routine). We monitor and adjust as needed.

Common reports include: better sleep, steadier mood, less reactivity, improved focus and follow‑through, feeling less “on edge,” clearer thinking, and more capacity to handle life without crashing as quickly.

Many clients notice early shifts (sleep, stress tolerance, focus) within the first 3–7 sessions. Deeper, more stable change typically builds over 8–12 weeks of consistent training. Every brain is different; we track patterns, not promises.

No. We use them as relaxation and wellness tools to support comfort, sleep, energy, and recovery. They do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions and should be used as part of a broader care plan, not in place of medical care.

Neurofeedback trains the brain’s wiring and patterns. tPBM supports the cells and energy that wiring runs on (mitochondria, blood flow, recovery). Together, they often help people move from stuck to progressing again.

Many basic HEG systems only train more activation in the prefrontal cortex. Our protocols train both healthy activation and the ability to come back down, so you get better focus and follow‑through without getting stuck in “amped” mode.

Not necessarily. Some people start with tools‑only plans (Executive Focus Reset with HEG, or Brain Energy Reset with tPBM) as a gentler or more affordable first step. Others layer tools on top of neurofeedback as part of a Brain Power Stack.

We troubleshoot with you first. If needed, we repair or replace equipment according to your rental agreement so you’re not stuck without support.

Yes. We do step‑by‑step setup with you (remote or in‑person), give you a binder and short videos, and are available for questions. If you can manage basic email and Zoom, we can walk you through the rest.

Often, yes. Depending on the program, we can structure single‑user or whole‑family plans so multiple members safely benefit from the same neurofeedback, HEG, or tPBM system.

For many people, yes. You’re using the same professional‑grade systems we use in the clinic, with clear protocols and ongoing support. In‑person is best when you need hands‑on guidance or more complex protocol work; at‑home is ideal for families, busy professionals, and those outside Colorado.

Yes. We work with children, teens, and adults. Sessions are non‑invasive, and manykids find them calming once they understand the routine.

Not always. We use QEEG when we need more precision (for example, after head injury or complex cases). Many clients do very well with history + clinical assessment + dynamical neurofeedback. We’ll tell you when a map would truly add value.

Most people train 2–3 times per week. A Brain Reset Foundation typically takes about 3 months to complete, depending on schedule and frequency.

Both are Phase 1 Brain Reset Foundation plans. The 25‑session track is our standard reset. The 40‑session intensive is for more entrenched patterns (long‑standing anxiety/trauma, complex attention/mood issues) or people who want a stronger, front‑loaded transformation.

Our in‑person clinic is in Colorado Springs, CO. We also offer at‑home neurofeedback, HEG, and tPBM programs with full remote support across the U.S. and in some cases internationally.

Two simple steps:

1. Take the Brain Regulation Pattern Quiz to get language for what your brain seems to be dealing with.
2. Book a Brain Plan Call so we can review your history, goals, and capacity and recommend a Brain Reset Foundation plan, Brain Power Stack, tools‑only start, or a combination.

Yes. What we do in sessions and with our tools is powerful — but it does not override basic biology.
If you are cutting sleep short, overstimulating your nervous system, under-fueling your body, or relying on alcohol or substances, it will limit how much change is possible and how long results last.

For sleep specifically, this matters: you have to put yourself in bed long enough to allow the opportunity for the sleep your brain actually needs. Neurofeedback can help regulate the system, but it can’t create sleep time that isn’t there.

We don’t givegeneric advice. We provide highly personalized guidance to help you understandwhat your brain and body need — and how to realistically implementhabits that support brain and nervous system health long-term. This is a teameffort.

We work withchildren, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, ADHD, sleep issues, brainfog, depression, trauma, concussion/TBI, and general stress and burnout. Wealso support high‑performing professionals and athletes who want more capacityand resilience, not just “symptom relief.”
