Testimonial
Maria Wood's Story, Executive Director
In 2016 I started a series of Neurofeedback to address my own unique needs. After about three sessions I began to notice small improvements. Simple things I had struggled with for years, such as differentiating left from right, began to come to me easily. In only a few months I noted a significant increase in my short term memory, I previously had struggled with recalling 2 numbers or letters at a time
now I could recall 6 or 7. After several more sessions I recognized the fluidity of organizing myself, word retrieval, recalling vocabulary, improvements in my spelling. Day to day tasks become less cognitively exhausting to remember and less tedious to complete.
Overall, my quality-of-life changed significantly. My confidence increased, including my inner dialogue. It became less of a process to believe in myself. My instant thought was if someone had offered me this when I was a teenager the next 20 years of my life would not have been nearly as challenging. Knowing this I decided that SHINE needed to offer this invaluable service, to further enhance the lives of my clients and support them in being their best selves.
