Client Sessions

Getting Started

Step One

Make an appointment for a one hour assessment. Using non-invasive electrodes, your trainer will collect data from seven different areas of the brain while the brain is at rest and on task. The assessment helps us to see how the patterns of energy are laid out in your individual brain. Each brain is like a fingerprint - unique to you as an individual.

Step Two

The result of your assessment data is processed together with the surveys you take to produce a training plan just for you. Individually tailored sessions give you the tools to bring your brain to homeostasis or balance.

Step Three

As a first time client, you will schedule an intensive training, consisting of ten sessions scheduled together within a 5 to 7 day period.

Each session will consist of 5 - 7 protocols that are designed to help balance your brain. The trainer will place the electrodes at various points on your head. During each protocol you will be listening to your own brain waves set to musical tones, as well as other sounds meant to encourage the brain towards a more balanced state.

Why ten sessions?

Intensives have proven to be one of the best methods to train the brain for new neuro-pathways. For the first few sessions, a brain training session will allow newly created pathways to dominate for a period of time - 24 to 48 hours - and then the older more established pathway will usually return. However, in an intensive, the old pathway does not have an opportunity to regain a dominance and therefore the newly created pathway has an opportunity to extend itself more fully and more quickly than in a training based on a once a week effort.

Step Four

As each session brings you more into balance, the training plans evolve to reflect your experience and life change. We are with you every step of the way.

Helpful Hints

What to Expect

Each session is conducted in a private, comfortable room. This private room has a small desk and chair for the trainer, and a very comfortable reclining chair for you.

During a training session your trainer will run a number of protocol structured just for you. Some protocol require you to watch the screen, others allow you to close your eyes and recline in the chair. Your trainer will explain as you begin each segment of the training.

During the sessions we encourage you to stay as relaxed as possible without falling asleep. Your brain is most capable of receiving information and changing accordingly while in this state.

If you find yourself falling asleep, simply wake yourself up a little and relax. It is common for people to fall asleep during their initial training. Many people are sleep deprived and as soon as the brain recognizes itself, it starts working to balance itself immediately. This is hard work for your brain and requires a good amount of energy. Some people respond by sleeping. Not to worry, your brain is still receiving the information needed to balance itself.

Things to Tell Your Trainer

Are you on any types of beta blockers (heart medication)? If so, it isn't advised that you undergo an assessment or training sessions at this time. If you choose to have sessions anyway, please inform your trainer what medication you are using.

How is your hearing? You will be asked some questions as a part of the assessment process and will also be using headphones during your training sessions. Please tell your trainer if you have hearing impairment.

Have you had lasik surgery? If so, please tell your trainer.

Are you sensitive to cool interior temperatures? If so, we recommend you bring a sweater as it is important that you are comfortable while in your session. We also have blankets available for you to use.

Ladies: Please inform your trainer if you are in the active phase of your menstrual cycle, as that can be helpful knowledge during your assessment and sessions.

Our Technology

Gentle yet sophisticated

Mind Sessions is a licensed provider of Brainwave Optimization with RealTime Balancing ™, scientific training based on neurofeedback science that reads waves of energy within the brain and then trains individuals to change neuro-pathways that no longer serve them. The technology was developped by Lee Gerdes, founder and CEO of Brain State Technologies, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Below, you can watch Lee's introduction to this revolutionary technology.
