How to build a new mindset
Ready to Hack Your Brain
Time investment
Just like working out at the gym, training your brain takes time. The most effective approach is to train twice a week. Once your brain understands the direction we’re aiming for, you can reduce it to once a week.

Practical information
Pre session
How long does a intake takes?
During an initial intake, which can be done online, you can share what concerns you or what you would like to improve. This session takes approximately 30 minutes
How long does a regular neurofeedback session take?
A typical neurofeedback session usually lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. The first session may take a bit longer, around 60 to 90 minutes, as there’s an initial assessment and setup involved. Follow-up sessions typically take less time, as your brain’s training progresses. The exact duration may vary depending on your specific needs and goals.
What is the procedure of a session?
A welcome at our studio
A Setup: At the beginning of the session, electrodes (or sensors) are placed on your scalp to measure your brainwave activity. This process is painless and takes about 5–10 minutes.
The training session: During the session, you’ll typically be watching a movie. This is done while receiving real-time feedback about your brainwave activity.guide your brain toward a more optimal state. It’s designed to feel like a gentle nudge rather than a demanding task.
The end: Are you done with the session, we will disconnect the electrodes and talk briefly about your experiences.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of neurofeedback sessions required to feel more balanced can vary greatly depending on several factors, including your individual goals, the condition being treated, and how your brain responds to the training. However, here’s a general guideline:
1. Initial Results (3-10 Sessions)
Many people begin to notice some improvements after 3 to 10 sessions. Early benefits often include:
- Reduced anxiety or stress
- Improved sleep quality
- Better mood regulation
- Enhanced focus and clarity
This phase is about helping the brain begin to shift toward a more balanced state.
2. Significant Improvements (10-20 Sessions)
For more substantial and lasting changes, many individuals find that 10 to 20 sessions are necessary. At this point, people may experience:
- Enhanced cognitive function (memory, concentration, problem-solving)
- Decreased symptoms of depression or anxiety
- Better emotional regulation and resilience
The brain is generally learning to regulate its activity patterns more consistently, leading to longer-term benefits.
Does Neurofeedback have lasting effects?
Imagine you break your leg and have to wear a cast. After about six weeks, your leg is healed—if all goes well. But that doesn’t mean you’re immune to re-injuring it. Healing doesn’t make you invincible, just like any remedy—it’s a process, and it requires ongoing care.
The same is true for neurofeedback treatment. Research, particularly in ADHD, shows that while improvements in attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity are noticeable right after treatment, the benefits continue to build over time. One study found that after six months, participants’ scores kept improving and remained stable for up to two years.
30 minute intake
During an initial intake, which can be done online, you can share what concerns you or what you would like to improve. This session takes approximately 30 minutes
Scanning your brain (EEG)
The process of scanning your brain (EEG) and the fist intakes typically takes about 2 hours
Relaxt mood helps
A typical neurofeedback session usually lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. The first session may take a bit longer, around 60 to 90 minutes, as there’s an initial assessment and setup involved. Follow-up sessions typically take less time, as your brain’s training progresses. The exact duration may vary depending on your specific needs and goals.

Individual Variability
- Severity of Symptoms: More severe or long-standing issues may require more sessions to see noticeable improvements.
- Brain Response: Some people respond more quickly to neurofeedback, while others may require more sessions to achieve the desired balance.
- Consistency: Regular and consistent sessions lead to better outcomes, so sticking to a schedule is important for effectiveness.
Turn off your phone

What happens during a session
After a session
What does a session looks like?
Setup:
At the beginning of the session, electrodes (or sensors) are placed on your scalp to measure your brainwave activity. The sensors are often attached to your head using a comfortable cap or gel.
This process is painless and takes about 5–10 minutes. Some people may feel slight discomfort from the electrode gel or the cap, but it’s usually minimal and temporary.
Training Session:
- During the session, you’ll typically be watching a movie, playing a video game, or listening to music. This is done while receiving real-time feedback about your brainwave activity.
- As you engage with the movie or game, the neurofeedback system provides visual or auditory cues to encourage your brain to produce more balanced brainwave patterns. For example, if your brain is producing the desired brainwaves, the movie might play more smoothly. If your brain is off track, the movie might freeze or the sound might stop until your brain produces the right pattern again.
- The feedback is subtle and serves to guide your brain toward a more optimal state. It’s designed to feel like a gentle nudge rather than a demanding task.
3. Mental Effort:
- Most people don’t find the training itself mentally taxing. It’s more like “passive learning” where your brain learns to regulate itself in response to the feedback.
- While you may be actively trying to stay focused or relaxed, you don’t need to consciously “do” anything. It’s more about the brain automatically adjusting itself over time.
- Some people may experience mild fatigue after a session, especially in the beginning, as their brain is adjusting to new patterns. But most find the sessions calming or rejuvenating once they get the hang of it.
4. Session Length and Frequency:
- Sessions usually last between 30 to 60 minutes, and the training frequency is typically 2–3 times per week during the initial stages. As you progress, the frequency might decrease, especially if you’re seeing improvements.
- You don’t need to prepare for anything strenuous beforehand, and the session will feel similar to watching a movie or playing a game, making it fairly easy to fit into your routine.
5. Progress:
- Neurofeedback training is typically gradual. It’s not like taking a pill where you see instant results. However, after several sessions, most people begin to notice subtle changes in their mood, focus, energy, or behavior.
- While the process is not hard, patience and consistency are important for seeing lasting results. Some individuals may take longer than others to see significant changes, but persistence is key.
6. Personalization:
- Neurofeedback training is customized to each individual based on their brainwave patterns and goals. Your practitioner will tailor the sessions to address specific issues (e.g., anxiety, focus, or sleep), making the process more targeted and effective.
What happens during a session?
Initial Setup (5–10 minutes): This includes attaching the sensors to your scalp (we work with individual electrodes) and ensuring they are properly calibrated to monitor your brain activity.
Training Time (20–40 minutes): During this time, you’ll engage in the actual neurofeedback training. This could involve watching a movie, playing a video game, or listening to sounds, with the goal of helping your brain achieve a more balanced state. The feedback you receive (through visual, auditory, or other means) helps your brain “learn” to adjust its activity patterns.
Post-Session (5–10 minutes): After the session, there may be a brief discussion about how you felt, any observations from the therapist, and potential adjustments for future sessions.
The exact length of the session may vary depending on the individual’s response to the training and the specific treatment plan. For some people, shorter sessions may be more effective in the beginning, while others may benefit from longer sessions as they progress
What do I need to do in a training?
You just need to relax! We connect you to our hardware. You can train with a movie, a drone session over Thailand, a dive into the ocean. You can choose any relaxt movie you like
Is it hard to do the trainings?
No, neurofeedback training is generally not hard to do. In fact, one of the reasons neurofeedback is so appealing is that it is non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, and relatively easy for most people to engage in. The process is more about learning than strenuous effort, and participants typically find the sessions relaxing or even enjoyable.
If you’re experiencing burnout, a neurofeedback session may be adjusted to better suit your needs. In this case, the session will be shorter—typically lasting 10 to 15 minutes—and it may be more gentle and focused to help your brain relax and reset. This tailored approach helps avoid overstimulation, ensuring a more effective and comfortable experience
Does Neurofeedback hurt?
No, neurofeedback does not hurt. It is a non-invasive, pain-free process. During a session, small sensors are placed on your scalp to measure brain activity, but they don’t cause any discomfort. Some people may feel relaxed or even slightly energized during or after a session, but there is no pain involved. It’s a safe and gentle way to train your brain.
Am I getting tired?
Feeling tired after a neurofeedback session is quite common, but it varies from person to person. Here’s why:
Why Neurofeedback Can Cause Fatigue
- Mental Workout: Neurofeedback trains your brain to self-regulate, which can be mentally taxing, especially in the early sessions.
- Brain Adaptation: Your brain is learning new patterns, and this adaptation process can consume significant energy.
- Emotional Processing: Sometimes, neurofeedback sessions bring up underlying emotional or psychological patterns, which can feel draining.
- Intensity and Duration: Longer or more intense sessions can contribute to post-session fatigue.
Tips for after a Session
- Allow time to rest after your session.
- Stay hydrated.
- Avoid overstimulation (e.g., intense work or screen time).
- Get a good night’s sleep.
Fatigue typically decreases as your brain becomes more efficient with continued neurofeedback training. If the tiredness persists or feels excessive, discussing it with your neurofeedback practitioner is a good idea—they can adjust the session protocol.
Common reactions after Neurofeedback
- Fatigue or drowsiness
- Feeling relaxed or even “zoned out”
- Occasionally, mild headaches
- Increased mental clarity after resting
Can I still work after a session?
Factors that influence post-session productivity
- Session Intensity: Longer or more challenging sessions can leave you feeling more drained.
- Type of Work: Mentally demanding tasks may feel harder if you’re tired. Routine or less intense work is usually fine.
- Individual Response: Everyone reacts differently; some need rest, while others feel ready to tackle tasks immediately.
Pro tips for working after Neurofeedback
- Schedule Sessions Wisely: If possible, plan sessions at the end of your workday or during a time when you can rest afterward.
- Listen to Your Body: If you’re tired, take short breaks or do lighter tasks.
- Stay Hydrated and Eat Well: Proper nutrition and hydration support brain function.
- Track Your Reactions: Over time, you’ll notice patterns in how you respond to sessions and can plan accordingly.
Most people adapt after a few sessions, and post-session fatigue usually decreases over time. If you have ongoing concerns, discuss them with your neurofeedback practitioner—they can adjust the training protocol to better suit your needs
How many sessions to maintain?
Individual Variability
- Severity of Symptoms: More severe or long-standing issues may require more sessions to see noticeable improvements.
- Brain Response: Some people respond more quickly to neurofeedback, while others may require more sessions to achieve the desired balance.
- Consistency: Regular and consistent sessions lead to better outcomes, so sticking to a schedule is important for effectiveness.

Can Neurofeedback help me?
Neurofeedback is a powerful tool that can be effective for a wide range of conditions, but it’s not necessarily a one-size-fits-all solution for every medical or psychological issue. While it has shown positive results in many areas, its effectiveness depends on the condition being treated, the individual’s brain activity, and other factors like the severity of the condition and any concurrent treatments.
I want to stay calm
Yes, neurofeedback has been shown to be effective for many individuals with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). It is increasingly recognized as a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that can help people with ADHD improve their symptoms. However, the effectiveness can vary from person to person, and it’s important to understand how neurofeedback works in the context of ADHD treatment.
How Neurofeedback Helps with ADHD:
Neurofeedback works by training individuals to regulate their brainwave activity. People with ADHD often have irregularities in brainwave patterns, especially in areas that control attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation. Neurofeedback aims to “retrain” the brain to produce more balanced and optimal brainwave patterns for focus, concentration, and self-control.
Common Benefits of Neurofeedback for ADHD:
Improved Attention and Focus:
- Many ADHD individuals have difficulty sustaining attention and staying focused on tasks. Neurofeedback helps the brain learn to increase theta waves (associated with relaxation) and reduce excessive beta waves (linked to anxiety or restlessness). This promotes better focus and concentration during daily activities, especially tasks requiring sustained attention.
Decreased Impulsivity:
- Neurofeedback can help improve impulse control, which is a common challenge for those with ADHD. By regulating brainwave patterns, individuals may become better able to control impulses, make more thoughtful decisions, and reduce behaviors like interrupting or acting without thinking.
Reduced Hyperactivity
I just want to try
Neurofeedback is most effective once a stressful situation has ended.
Imagine walking the Camino route. You develop a large blister but keep walking. The blister gets worse and doesn’t heal. Taking a break—or even stopping the route altogether—would be the best solution. The same principle applies to neurofeedback therapy.
Training a new mindset works best when the source of stress is no longer present. However, this principle doesn’t apply in the same way if you have ADHD, ADD, or dyslexia.

How to Boost Your Treatment Success
What can you do at home
Do you wear contact lenses?
If you wear contact lenses, please bring you glasses for the Neurofeedback session.
Explanation: Contact lenses can sometimes cause discomfort during longer neurofeedback sessions, especially if your eyes become tired or dry. Additionally, certain electrodes placed on the forehead or around the eyes may interfere with the lenses when you blink or move your eyes, affecting measurement accuracy.
Wearing glasses is often a better option, as they are more stable, cause less irritation, and do not interfere with brain activity measurements. If you usually wear contact lenses, we recommend wearing glasses during your neurofeedback sessions.

Neurofeedback sessions
Coaching sessions
20 minutes Q&A online - For free
The process of scanning your brain (EEG) and the fist intakes typically takes about 2 hours
A regular neurofeedback session - one hour
At the beginning of the session, electrodes (or sensors) are placed on your scalp to measure your brainwave activity. The sensors are often attached to your head using a comfortable cap or gel.
EEG measurement - two hours
A typical neurofeedback session usually lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. The first session may take a bit longer, around 60 to 90 minutes, as there’s an initial assessment and setup involved. Follow-up sessions typically take less time, as your brain’s training progresses. The exact duration may vary depending on your specific needs and goals.

CV coaching - sessions
Initial Setup (5–10 minutes): This includes attaching the sensors to your scalp (we work with individual electrodes) and ensuring they are properly calibrated to monitor your brain activity.
Training Time (20–40 minutes): During this time, you’ll engage in the actual neurofeedback training. This could involve watching a movie, playing a video game, or listening to sounds, with the goal of helping your brain achieve a more balanced state. The feedback you receive (through visual, auditory, or other means) helps your brain “learn” to adjust its activity patterns.
Post-Session (5–10 minutes): After the session, there may be a brief discussion about how you felt, any observations from the therapist, and potential adjustments for future sessions.
The exact length of the session may vary depending on the individual’s response to the training and the specific treatment plan. For some people, shorter sessions may be more effective in the beginning, while others may benefit from longer sessions as they progress
