Benefits of NeurOptimal^®

Clients come to NeurOptimal^® looking for relief from symptoms or a deeper sense of clarity. Common outcomes include:

Improved sleep and restfulness
Reduced anxiety and stress
Enhanced emotional regulation and resilience

More peaceful connection to self and others

This method is safe for children, adults, and seniors. It does not interfere with medications and can complement therapy, coaching, or other wellness practices.

How a Session Works

During a NeurOptimal^® session, you relax in a comfortable chair while sensors are gently placed on your scalp and ears. You’ll listen to music or nature sounds while the system monitors and feeds back subtle shifts in your brain’s electrical patterns. When the system detects turbulence, it briefly interrupts the audio, signaling the brain to return to the present moment.

Each NeurOptimal® session lasts approximately 33 minutes, during which you are comfortably seated while your brain engages in a gentle, non-invasive training process. Many clients describe the experience as deeply relaxing, often entering a meditative or peaceful state as they listen to calming audio while the system provides real-time feedback. After just one session, people frequently report feeling noticeably more centered, grounded, and mentally refreshed, like a fog has lifted or their nervous system has exhaled. As sessions continue over time, these effects tend to deepen, leading to increased emotional resilience, mental clarity, and an overall sense of inner calm and balance.

Consistency leads to deeper change. Lauren will help you customize a session plan to meet your needs, whether you’re managing stress or seeking long-term transformation.

A History of NeurOptimal®

NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback was developed by clinical psychologists Dr. Valdeane and Dr. Susan Brown, co-founders of the Zengar Institute. Rooted in over 40 years of research in neuroscience, psychology, and nonlinear dynamics, the system emerged from a desire to create a gentle, non-invasive method to support the brain’s natural capacity to heal, adapt, and optimize.

Originally drawing from traditional neurofeedback methods that trained specific brainwave frequencies, the Browns saw the limitations of this directive model and envisioned a more holistic approach. In 2001, they introduced NeurOptimal® as a dynamic neurofeedback system; one that uses real-time information about the brain’s activity to guide the brain toward self regulation, without requiring diagnosis, intervention, or protocol based training.

What sets NeurOptimal® apart is its foundation in nonlinear dynamical systems theory, recognizing the brain as an ever-adaptive, self-organizing system. Rather than “pushing” the brain to change, NeurOptimal® offers feedback when the brain shows signs of turbulence. This invites the nervous system to gently return to the present moment. In this way it mirrors the natural process of learning and self-correction, allowing the client to experience improvements across emotional, cognitive, and physical domains with minimal effort or risk. Indeed, the sessions are seamless and painless for the clients.

Today, NeurOptimal® is used globally by wellness practitioners, therapists, athletes, educators, and individuals seeking greater clarity, calm, and balance. Its safety, accessibility, and user-friendly design have made it a revolutionary tool for those seeking natural support for stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep, performance, and more.

NeuroOptimal FAQs

Does NeurOptimal® Really Work?

Yep, many clients report meaningful improvements in their emotional, mental, and physical well-being through consistent NeurOptimal® sessions. Unlike traditional neurofeedback, NeurOptimal® doesn’t aim to “fix” the brain—it simply gives it real-time information about its own activity, allowing the brain to self-correct and return to balance naturally. Users often experience reduced anxiety, better sleep, enhanced focus, and greater emotional resilience. Because the system is non-invasive and doesn’t rely on diagnosis or protocols, it’s safe for children, adults, and seniors. While individual results vary, thousands have found NeurOptimal® to be a powerful tool for supporting stress recovery, brain optimization, and nervous system regulation.

How Much Does NeurOptimal® Cost?

The cost of NeurOptimal® neurofeedback varies by provider and region. On average, a single session ranges from $75 to $150. Many practitioners, including Lauren Hunt, offer package pricing for clients who commit to multiple sessions, which can reduce the per-session cost. Investing in 10–20 sessions is common for those seeking long-term results. Some clients also choose to rent or purchase the system for home use, though working with a trained wellness professional ensures better integration and support. Considering the benefits—reduced anxiety, better sleep, improved clarity—NeurOptimal® is a cost-effective, drug-free alternative for those seeking natural brain support and healing.

What Is the Difference Between Neurofeedback and NeurOptimal®?

Traditional neurofeedback usually involves diagnosing specific brainwaves imbalances and using protocols to train the brain toward targeted outcomes. In contrast, NeurOptimal® is a non-linear, dynamical neurofeedback system that does not diagnose or push the brain in any direction. Instead, it mirrors the brain’s own activity in real time, allowing it to recognize turbulence and self-adjust naturally. This makes NeurOptimal® safer and more versatile, with no risk of overtraining or unwanted side effects. It supports the brain’s innate intelligence, making it ideal for anyone seeking natural, holistic mental wellness—whether for anxiety, focus, resilience, or emotional healing.

What Is the Downside of Neurofeedback?

While neurofeedback is generally considered safe, traditional forms can sometimes lead to overtraining, side effects like fatigue or agitation, and inconsistent results depending on the technician’s skill. Because traditional neurofeedback protocols are diagnosis-based, inaccurate assessments can lead to ineffective or even counterproductive outcomes. NeurOptimal® avoids these pitfalls by being non-directive, It doesn’t force the brain to change but instead invites it to adjust on its own terms. This makes it exceptionally safe and adaptable for nearly all ages. The main downside of NeurOptimal® is that it requires consistency over time, and results may unfold gradually rather than immediately.

How Many Sessions of NeurOptimal® Do I Need?

The number of NeurOptimal® sessions needed varies from person to person, depending on your goals and current state of wellness. Some clients notice shifts after just 1–3 sessions, such as improved sleep or reduced anxiety. However, lasting transformation often comes with regular use, typically 10 to 20 sessions is recommended for noticeable, sustained benefits. For those navigating chronic stress, emotional trauma, or long-standing patterns, longer-term support may be more beneficial. NeurOptimal® is also safe and effective as an ongoing wellness tool for maintaining clarity, emotional regulation, and nervous system balance. Lauren Hunt will help you create a personalized plan aligned with your healing journey.

Is NeurOptimal® Covered by Insurance?

NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is generally not covered by insurance, as it is classified as a wellness or self-optimization tool rather than a medically necessary treatment. Because it does not diagnose or treat specific conditions, most insurance providers do not reimburse for NeurOptimal® sessions. But there is good news, some clients have used Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) to pay for sessions, especially when recommended by a healthcare provider as part of a broader wellness plan. It’s always a good idea to check with your insurer and HSA/FSA administrator to confirm eligibility. Even if not covered, many find the out-of-pocket investment worthwhile for the natural, drug-free support it provides for stress, sleep, focus, and emotional well-being.
