Neurofeedback
Train your brain to settle, focus and rest - from the comfort of your own home.
Neurofeedback is brain training. Think of it as the gym, but for your nervous system. A few short sessions a week - in your own space, on your own time - and your brain starts learning what balance actually feels like.
You have tried everything - and your brain still will not settle.
You have tried the meditation apps. The breathwork. The supplements. Maybe medication. Maybe therapy. Maybe all of it, in some combination, for longer than you want to admit.
And still - the thoughts race the moment you sit down. Sleep comes late and leaves early. Focus comes in short, frustrating bursts. Your body hums with a low-grade tension that does not let up, even on the days that should feel easy.
You are tired of white-knuckling it through your own life. You are tired of being told to just breathe. You know more about your nervous system than most people do, and knowing has not made the experience any less exhausting
You cannot think your way out of a nervous system that is stuck.
The Problem Is Not Willpower. It Is Wiring.
Here is what no one tells you: you cannot talk your brain into calming down. You cannot reason with a nervous system that is running a pattern it learned long before you had language for any of it.
When your brain is stuck in high-alert mode, every coping strategy asks you to perform the very skill your brain cannot access right now. Meditate. Slow down. Be present. Regulate. It is like being handed a sheet of piano music and told to play a sonata when no one has ever shown your hands the keys.
And the longer this goes on, the more exhausted you become, and the harder it feels to even try. You start to wonder if something is wrong with you. If everyone else is finding the off switch and you are the one who was built without one.
YOU MIGHT NOTICE …
Racing thoughts that do not turn off at night
Focus that slips the second something harder shows up
Mood swings that feel bigger than whatever is happening
A sense of overwhelm that does not match the day you actually had
Sleep that is either hard to fall into or hard to stay in
A low-grade tension in your body that never quite lets go
The feeling that you are running on fumes even on your slow days
Nothing is wrong with you. Your brain has been running a pattern - and until the brain itself learns a different pattern, all the effort in the world will not change what is happening underneath.
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a form of brain training that helps your brain learn to regulate itself. It is not medication. It is not therapy. It is not something that happens to you. It is your own nervous system, learning - in real time - what balance feels like, and how to find its way back there on its own.
Using the Myndlift app and a Muse headband, sensors read your brain activity while you listen to sounds or watch visuals that respond to your state. When your brain moves toward a more balanced pattern, you receive positive feedback. Over time, your brain starts to remember that pattern - and to choose it, more easily, on its own.
No needles. No office visits. No having to talk about anything you are not ready to talk about. Just short, quiet sessions you do from your own space, while your brain gets the kind of training it has never had before.
You do not have to force calm. You do not have to manage your thoughts. Your brain learns what balance feels like - and starts choosing it, naturally.
HOW AT-HOME NEUROFEEDBACK WORKS
STEP 1: Free Consultation
We start with a free 20-minute call. You share what is going on, what you have already tried, and what you are hoping to feel different. I let you know whether neurofeedback makes sense for where you are right now. No pressure, no pitch.
STEP 2: Your Brain Map
Once you are set up with the Myndlift app and a Muse headband, you complete an initial brain map. This gives us a clear look at how your brain is currently functioning - where it is running hot, where it is running flat, and where there is room for it to shift.
STEP 3: Your Personalized Protocol
You meet with me for a 60-minute review call. We walk through your Mind Map together, talk through what we are seeing, and I build a training protocol based on your specific goals - whether that is calmer sleep, steadier focus, less overwhelm, or more ground under your feet.
STEP 4: Training From Home
You train your brain from wherever you are. Sessions are short - often around 20 minutes - and you do them on your own schedule. I monitor your progress behind the scenes through Myndlift and adjust your protocol as your brain shifts. You are never doing this alone, even when you are doing it alone.

What Clients Are Saying
"I did not realize how much tension I was carrying until it started to fade. I feel lighter and more focused than I have in years."
~ Former Client
"My brain does not hit panic mode as easily anymore. I can handle stress without spiraling, and that is huge for me."
~ Former Client
"Sleep comes easier, mornings feel smoother, and my thoughts do not race all day. It is like my brain finally learned how to exhale."
~ Former Client
"I have been a licensed massage therapist for 39 years. After my first week of neurofeedback with Sandy, I kept thinking - is this really doing anything? Then I hit the kind of stressful situation that usually lights me up and I was calm. I was able to just move past it. Now I feel clear, I make decisions quickly, and I remember things I was struggling with before. Neurofeedback works."
~ Linda Lybrand, Licensed Massage Therapist

Frequently Asked Questions About Neurofeedback
-
Yes. Neurofeedback has been studied for decades and is recognized as a well-established intervention for supporting attention, anxiety, sleep, and nervous system regulation. Research continues to grow, and the underlying science - that the brain can learn new patterns when given real-time information about its own activity - is well-supported.
-
No. Neurofeedback is brain training, not therapy. It does not involve talking, processing or working through specific life experiences. Some clients pair neurofeedback with therapy for a deeper effect. Others use neurofeedback on its own. Both approaches can be effective depending on what you are working on.
-
Many clients notice shifts within the first few weeks, often in sleep, focus, or the speed at which they recover from stress. Bigger, more lasting changes usually show up after several months of consistent training. Neurofeedback is a slow build, and the results tend to stick once they arrive.
-
No. The neurofeedback subscription at Foothold is entirely at-home. You use the Myndlift app and a Muse headband from your own space. Sandy reviews your data and adjusts your protocol remotely, which means you get ongoing expert support without ever having to drive anywhere.
-
Neurofeedback is not a medical treatment and is not a substitute for medication. Many clients use it alongside medication, while others use it as part of a broader plan to support their brain and nervous system more sustainably. Any decision about medication should always be made with your prescriber.
-
Your first month is $500, which includes your Mind Map setup and a 60-minute review call with Sandy. After that, it is $300 per month for continued access, monitoring, and protocol adjustments. The Muse headband device is a separate purchase.
-
The current neurofeedback subscription at Foothold is structured for adult clients (18+). If you are looking for neurofeedback support for a child or teen, please reach out directly so we can point you toward a good resource.
