Last day of a 10 day intensive of Neurotherapy and neurofeedback in Italy.

Yes I do housecalls- even to Italy!
One of the frequences we're hitting here is 19-25 hz, 0.1 step, 5000 msec, 0.5 mA
The frequency sits in the brain's fast current (high beta), which is associated with alertness, mental effort, and cognitive control. When used therapeutically, this range is often chosen to help a brain that is under‑activating in the frontal regions or struggling with attention, motivation, or mental stamina.

Using a gentle neurotherapy we're not pushing the brain up or down — we're rhythmically nudging it to sync and
improve daily task management skills,and more consistent emotional regulation (planning, organizing, impulse control)

Targeting the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) — the brain’s “control center.” It might be a lot to ask for, but we're not shy about going after what we want (life is short-why settle).

Keeping JM comfortable while we embark on his first protocol in 2 years. All the other protocols have held beautifully. His first session during COVID he was afraid of everything; anyone touching him, going down stairs and especially climbing on anything (even a couch). I had to have someone hold a full length mirror so he could see what I was doing with the electrodes that he was sure would hurt or mame him. After the 3rd session he jumped off a 4 foot log. After his fifth session he was waking up the back of the couch by himself! Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center
Six years later he’s functioning in the original Maria Montessori school in Perugia, Italy

Neurotherapy in Italy with JM whom I’ve treated for ASD symptoms since he was 6 yo. I’m here to start a new protocol to even out the power in his brain hemispheres. I’ll give him 10 intensive Neuro Stim sessions and 10 traditional neurofeedback treatments as per his most recent EEG/brain map dictates. I’ll run the traditional neurofeedback treatments from California while he lives his best life in Italy

Three very important questions about neurotherapy...
1. Does insurance cover the neurotherapy?
Answer: Sadly, it does not. If you see Dr. Elliot in the
Santa Barbara office, MediCal will pay for a 10-minute adjunct session. The full protocol sessions are an hour, which insurance doesn't yet cover.
***BUT if you have a STROKE or CONCUSSION, MediCARE MIGHT pay for the EEG Brain map, in which case it is up to the patient to be reimbursed. WE DON'T BILL INSURANCE. We recommend you get a referral from your MD. We will furnish a receipt of payment, and we will give you a letter stating that the FDA approves it for this service.
(PHEW, that's a lot).

2. Do I have to keep doing neurotherapy forever for it to work?
No you don't. Your brain is neuroplastic- it is being retrained and rehabilitated to be regulated. You may need touch ups...because life happens. This therapy is re-regulating your nervous system to be more efficient and more organized.

3. Are puppy snuggles extra? No- if you want puppy snuggles they are included for the price of the session. We do not allow puppy snuggles during a brain map. That is a clinical process that doesn't include algorithms for brain stimulation resulting from excessive puppy joy.

Rain or shine autism shows up. Rain or shine we show up to support the autistic community with Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center at The Mission in San Luis Obispo. This year we offered to show people their brain waves and let them see their brain working in real time. Nicole’s favorite are the ASD kids terrified to try it, so she enlists them as her “Science Assistant” and they help hook up their parent. Eventually their overly cautious (vigilant) nervous system lets down and they try it. Then the parents not only see their children’s brain waves but they also get to experience a sample of watching some neurofeedback regulation in process. This is what we call “Living Your Best Life.” Meeting people, sharing hope and understanding. Thank you to everyone at CCASC and working in our booth for giving so selflessly. See you next year…or come in sooner to 👀🧠👋
