"Thank you for the neurofeedback. I can really tell a difference as I am continuing to walk through the medical stuff we are going through, I am just processing it so different than I have in the past. I know that (neurofeedback) is the big difference. I am so thankful." - Mark Beddingfield, American Red Cross President

“I was fortunate to discover NeurOptimal (neurofeedback) after a traumatic accident where I suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). NeurOptimal was gentle, relaxing and gave me a safe place to experience a thorough healing without having to relive my trauma. It gave me a necessary foundation to help me heal from TBI, as well as the PTSD and anxiety, without medication.” -Sarah George, Indiana
“I have seen Heather Ponder for Neurofeedback for about a year and half. I had a brain hemorrhage and a stroke about 6 years ago. I had a hard time getting words from my brain to my mouth. Neurofeedback has helped me make reconnections in my brain so now words come easier. Most people don’t know that I ever had a stroke. This has helped me so much, it has been a Godsend. -Jackie Howell
After suffering a concussion as a teenager I have dealt with anxiety, mild depression, extreme stress, and PTSD for over 25 years. I have also been a lifelong supper of mild OCD. After undergoing 20 sessions with Heather, there are feedback has proven to lessen the symptoms and enabled me to deal with them a lot better. It’s as if the edge has been taken off in a cloud lifted off my mental state. This is a very noninvasive treatment and kid friendly. Anyone from a child to a grandparent can benefit. You can also easily resume treatments as you need them throughout your life. Your feedback treatment is absolutely worth doing. For those on the fence, please don’t put it off and continue to suffer unnecessarily. I have also been a lifelong supper of mild OCD.

As someone who is highly skeptical of unorthodox methods for treating health problems, I have to confirm the value of neurofeedback. I can say with 100% certainty that this stuff really works! After one family member received a number of treatments related to issues with Tourette’s syndrome, we were so impressed with the results that we rented the machine for a month. During that time my entire family received many treatments and experienced many benefits - we were lining up to use it! I personally found relief from insomnia and restless leg syndrome, and the overall mental health of my family was improved. We are planning to rent the machine again to continue our neurofeedback sessions! Heather Ponder is great to work with, knows her stuff, and makes something complex seem very simple and easy to understand. Her genuine desire is to improve your quality of life, and she is focused on people and not profits. I highly recommend you pay her a visit! -anonymous father ~ Helena, AL
