NEUROFEEDBACK
TAKING THERAPY TO A NEW LEVEL
What is Neurofeedback / Biofeedback?
1/3
LENS = Low Energy Neurofeedback System
Neurofeedback/Biofeedback is similar to looking at a mirror. We look ourselves over to see if we need to make an adjustment such as moving a hair that is out of place or buttoning a button we may have missed.
LENS reads a person’s brainwaves for the first second to decide where the poorest functioning is going on in the brain indicated by high-powered, but slow, waves.
It then makes an adjustment by modifying a person's brain waves and sends it back to the brain.
It reorganizes brain waves by decreasing excess power which speeds up the brain waves. LENS creates a more balanced brain state so it can respond instead of reacting.

LENS = Low Energy Neurofeedback System
This neurofeedback system is different than all others: Instead of entraining brain waves so the brain can work optimally, it disentrains maladaptive waves.
Despite, the low energy, it is proven to work faster than traditional neurofeedback systems with lasting effects.
LENS targets mental health symptoms such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, learning disabilities, speech problems, developmental trauma, sleep issues, impulsiveness, emotional dysregulation, irritability, anger reactivity.
It does not cure chronic mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, but it alleviates comorbid conditions such as anxiety so a person can live life fully.
LENS also:
- alleviates headaches, migraines and traumatic brain injuries and
- increases memory, focus and energy.
It helps restore the brain to its default mode prior to any emotional or physical injury.

BODY LENS
Body LENS works similarly to LENS Neurofeedback but sensors are placed on the body surrounding areas of inflammation and pain.
It helps with a wide variety of physical ailments and comorbidities as well as sensory issues.
LENS + BODY
LENS can also be utilized to optimize performance in areas such as sports and music.
A short video documentary
In the Blink of an Eye
In this short documentary film about an extreme Whistler athlete, Don Schwartz discovers 25 years after a tragic helicopter crash -- leaving him with 3rd degree burns to his face -- that he suffers from PTSD.
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for extreme mountain athletes to experience tragedy and loss of fellow adventurers but what is less common is the ability to truly face the deep scars that are left inside.
The story uncovers how Don’s psychological issues are revealed unexpectedly through an unconventional piano session and follows his treatment and recovery journey right up until he decides that the final test of his recovery is to take full control of his demons by getting his helicopter pilot's license.
IN MY EXPERIENCE,
LENS Neurofeedback truly takes therapy to a new level
Yvette Saeugling / Therapist:
After 30 years of counseling I came to my own crossroads. Despite the wonderful people I had met, the progress they had made, and the satisfaction they had expressed, I was not satisfied. It seemed to me, people still suffered unnecessarily, for too long.
Then I stumbled across LENS Neurofeedback and it has taken therapy to a new level.
Traditional therapy seems to take people to a place of peace and resolve yet often one still needs to be mindful of their physiology (reactions). With LENS, people express changes that are long-lasting and automatic. They appear visibly happy and more energetic. Often people will state “I have my life back” or “I’m back to my old self” or “I have my child back.”
One can do LENS with or without therapy. If one wants to continue with therapy, LENS seems to cut the time down one spends in counseling.
