At Supporting Wellness Psychological and Family Services, we proudly offer Dynamical Neurofeedback® with NeurOptimal® as part of our integrative wellness services. This advanced brain training technology promotes greater emotional flexibility, mental clarity, and personal resilience. NeurOptimal® is non-invasive, drug-free, and designed for ease of use, making it a truly unique addition to your personal wellness routine.
Used worldwide with over four million sessions completed, NeurOptimal® is classified in Canada as a consumer wellness device. It is not a medical or therapeutic product and is not used at our clinic to diagnose or treat any condition. Instead, we offer it as a self-directed tool for clients seeking new approaches to mental performance, balance, and overall well-being.
At Supporting Wellness, we are a team of dedicated therapists offering NeurOptimal® as a non-clinical wellness modality. In strict accordance with Health Canada regulations, Dynamical Neurofeedback® is not a medical treatment and does not replace therapy or a formal psychological assessment. It does not involve brainwave manipulation, specific protocols, or medical diagnosis.
NeurOptimal® is available as an optional complement to individual therapy. It supports clients who want to explore additional self-regulation strategies within their broader wellness plan. While our team is not certified under BCIA, this is simply because NeurOptimal® does not require BCIA certification. It does not involve manipulating brainwaves or prescribing rigid protocols. Instead, the system provides information, and your own brain makes the necessary adjustments in real time.
NeurOptimal® functions by monitoring your brain’s electrical activity 256 times per second. When the system detects that the brain is about to shift, it creates a brief, subtle interruption in the music or visual stream you are observing. These momentary pauses act like a mirror, helping the brain become more aware of its own behavior and patterns.
Unlike clinical neurofeedback systems, NeurOptimal® does not diagnose or guide your brain in any particular direction. There are no predetermined protocols or goals. Your brain does all the work simply by responding to the information it receives.
A typical NeurOptimal® session is calm, passive, and completely effortless.
While you sit comfortably, small sensors are placed gently on your scalp and ears. You simply watch relaxing visuals and listen to soothing music while the system provides real-time feedback. Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes and does not require active focus, cognitive effort, or conscious processing. Many clients describe the entire experience as peaceful and deeply grounding.
At Supporting Wellness, these sessions are facilitated by a registered psychologist. Before the session begins, your therapist will briefly check in to monitor any changes since your last visit and review your overall treatment plan. Following the session, the psychologist will meet with you to discuss how the session felt, answer any questions, and offer guidance on your next steps. This conversation may include discussing personal goals, emotional regulation strategies, or other wellness tools such as meditation, bilateral music, biofrequency training, or other supportive practices tailored specifically to your individual needs.
While NeurOptimal® itself is a self-directed brain training system and not a clinical treatment, we recognize the vital importance of integrating wellness tools within the broader therapeutic process when it is appropriate for you.
Although NeurOptimal® is not a treatment and does not guarantee specific outcomes, clients have reported a wide variety of personal wellness benefits, including:
