Milestones & Check-Ins¶
Key Milestones¶
| Milestone | When | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| QEEG Review | After initial brain map | Understand your brain, get protocol plan |
| End of Intensive | ~Session 6 | Confirm independence, set training schedule |
| Remote Refresh | 1-2 weeks after intensive | Check-in call, troubleshoot issues |
| End of Month 1 | ~Session 13 | Review progress, refine goals |
| First Follow-up QEEG | Sessions 15-20 | Track brain changes, adjust protocols |
| Renewal Discussion | 2 weeks before end | Decide whether to continue |
Follow-up QEEGs¶
| QEEG | When | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Initial | Before training | Baseline assessment |
| Follow-up #1 | Session 15-20 (~1 month) | Progress check |
| Follow-up #2 | Session 30-40 (~2 months) | If continuing training |
| Annual | For long-term clients | Maintenance assessment |
Typical progress: Up to 1 standard deviation change at 20-session mark!
Program Duration & Renewals¶
How Long Does Training Take?¶
Most clients: 2-6 months for long-lasting resource shifts
Breakdown: - Months 1-2: Foundation building, early gains - Months 3-4: Refinement, stability - Months 5-6+: Advanced training, maintenance
Effects are long-lasting after completion—neurofeedback creates trait-level changes, not temporary states.
Renewals¶
When to renew: - Making progress but not yet at goals - Want to build on early gains - New goals emerged
Renewal lengths: - 1 month - 2 months
Process: Discuss with coach 2 weeks before current program ends
Pause Policy¶
Standard Policy¶
Allowed: 1 week pause per 2 months of membership
For longer pauses: - May need to return kit (equipment availability) - Can resume with new kit shipped or pick up at office - All protocols saved—continue where you left off - Allow 2 weeks lead time for kit delivery
Returning After a Break¶
Don't jump back to advanced protocols even if you were doing them before.
Recommended: 1. Start with previously successful SMR protocol (2x) 2. Re-establish baseline 3. Then return to where you left off
Some clients experience: - Mild vertigo/dizziness after first session back (resolves in hours) - Need to rebuild to previous protocol intensity gradually
Program Completion¶
Ending Your Program¶
2 weeks before end, discuss: - Progress toward goals - Whether to renew or complete - Final QEEG recommendation
Final sessions: Continue stable protocol (repeats are fine)
Post-Program Options¶
Free in-office QEEG: For 1 year after program ends (show brain changes)
Remote QEEG: $250 rental fee, available for 1 year post-program
Unsupervised training: EEGer license only ($1,499/year) - Continue with established protocols - No coaching or protocol recommendations - You manage your own training
Full renewal: Resume coaching with new program

Who Neurofeedback Helps¶
Common Goals¶
Neurofeedback training can help with: - Sleep (onset, maintenance, restfulness) - Attention and focus (ADHD, distractibility) - Anxiety and stress (rumination, worry, resilience) - Mood regulation (depression, emotional reactivity) - Energy and mental clarity (brain fog, fatigue) - Peak performance (flow states, cognitive processing) - Trauma processing (PTSD, emotional wounds) - Migraines and headaches - Concussion/TBI recovery
Not a Cure¶
Neurofeedback is a training method to optimize brain function. It: - Doesn't work for everyone - Requires consistency and time - Works best combined with healthy lifestyle - Is not a substitute for medical treatment
Realistic expectations are key to success.
