Neurofeedback

 Neurofeedback is training in self-regulation. It is simply biofeedback applied to the brain directly. Self-regulation is a necessary part of good brain function. Self-regulation training allows the system (the central nervous system) to function better.

 

Neurofeedback addresses problems of brain dysregulation. These happen to be numerous. They include the anxiety-depression spectrum, attention deficits, behavior disorders, various sleep disorders, headaches and migraines, PMS and emotional disturbances. Neurofeedback is a research-based form of biofeedback. Neurofeedback can also be combined with equine or nature based techniques before or after a training session to further enhance your own ability to regulate emotions, create self-awareness and become focused and present.

 

Training sessions are offered at a low rate for first responders. EEG rates are set by Rightmind Wellness Center.

Equine Therapy Intensives

Sound Familiar to you?

Have a parade of faces that run through your mind at night?

Feel shut down?

Not present with friends or family?

It doesn't have to be this way.

 

Equine and nature based therapy intensives, can help with distress after a bad run, the end of a relationship, anxiety, panic, and chronic pain. My job is to have your back, so you can get back to yourself. We utilize the same concept with our horses, we want to get a little closer to the "threat," while learning how to stay safe and feeling connected to ourselves. 

Typical weekly therapy sessions take months to years to have the same results we offer with our intensives.  

A single retreat day (or half day) is equal to (4-8) 45-50 min sessions. In other words, 1 retreat day is equivalent to 1- 2 months of weekly therapy, but the effects are substantially more powerful because of the continuity of the work. 

 

Your one-on-one day with a therapist means there is no wasted time saying hello, catching up or shutting down a session, you have their full attention. The retreats are outdoor and equine based, not in an office setting (although we can do traditional based therapy as well). We utilize techniques such as equine assisted EMDR, biofeedback, polyvagal equine therapy and more. Intensives are offered during the months of May, June, September and October. Hope to see you there. These intensives are offered at a low cost for first responders and military members.
