NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback in Surrey, BC
NeurOptimal® is the neurofeedback system we use at DRW Neuroperformance in Surrey, BC. It is a dynamical, non-invasive, drug-free brain training method that helps your nervous system self-regulate — and it is safe for children, teens and adults.
What NeurOptimal® Is, in Plain Language
Traditional (linear) neurofeedback targets specific brainwave frequencies and requires a practitioner to choose protocols. NeurOptimal® works differently. Instead of pushing your brain toward a target state, it simply gives your brain real-time information about its own activity — thousands of tiny feedback moments per session. Your brain uses that information to self-correct and self-regulate.
Because neuroptimal does not push the brain in any direction, there is no "wrong protocol" and no diagnosis required. The brain does the navigating itself.
Why We Use NeurOptimal®
We chose NeurOptimal® because it removes the practitioner variable — the brain itself does the regulating. That makes it safe and gentle for all ages, and it means every session is tailored to your brain in that moment, not to a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Who NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback Suits
- ADHD — focus, emotional regulation and follow-through
- Anxiety — calming an over-alert nervous system
- Sleep — helping the brain switch off at night
- Migraines — reducing nervous-system-driven episodes
What a NeurOptimal® Session Is Like
You sit back and relax — listening to music or watching a screen — while the NeurOptimal® system provides subtle feedback to your brain through tiny pauses in the audio. Most clients find sessions calm and comfortable. There is nothing you have to "do" — your brain does the work.
At DRW Neuroperformance, we combine NeurOptimal® neurofeedback with registered clinical counselling. Doug West is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC-ACS) and an Advanced NeurOptimal® Trainer, so you get both brain training and emotional support in the same visit.
