Former KC Brain Train Reviews 

Just what the doctor ordered!

When I first started neurofeedback with Elise a few years ago, I was also seeing a counselor for stress, anxiety, and other issues related to constantly working overtime hours in a super busy, fast-paced medical office, while being in a complicated relationship. Before doing therapy along with neurofeedback, I felt like my life was a total mess, like I had no control over my life. I had extreme difficulty with handling the daily challenges that came my way, both at work and at home. 

I am happy to say that after just a few sessions with Elise and continuing my therapy with my counselor, I have found a significant change in my day-to-day life. Over time, I have seen a huge difference in my mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. The biggest change was in my clarity and focus. I find it easier now to concentrate on tasks at hand and do not feel such overwhelming pressure at my job or even at home. I actually feel happier and look forward to each day as opposed to dreading it and just trying to make it through in one piece. 
Neurofeedback combined with counseling has worked wonders for me, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is willing to give it a try.

Hello,
I tried the unlimited package with my wife between July 2019-2020. Elise was great to work with and to get to know. I noticed a big improvement with the way I handle stressful situations. In the past certain situations would take up so much of my time and internal energy as I fought through a problem in my head. I can deal with these small problems that pop up a lot easier now without the problems taking up so much of my time. I highly recommend NeurOptimal at KC Brain Train with Elise Thompson. She has a great little office and really makes you feel at home when you show up. Elise was always very flexible when she could be and would offer times to pop in when they became available in the interest of saving me time and giving me options. It was a great experience and I can't wait to pop in for a "tune up" session later this year.

Hello everyone! I have done the unlimited package from 2019 to 2020. I am an entrepreneur focused solely on the digital marketplace. I am also an entertainer that does voice acting and rapping. When I first started doing brain training I had just experienced multiple experiences of psychosis and regularly going in and out of psychiatric hospitals around the Kansas City area. I had overwhelming paranoia, increased anxiety, and the tendency to sleep all day from the medication I was on. After my first session of Neurofeedback I could feel the difference immediately. The sensation is similar to having your back cracked by a chiropractor but for your brain. I would be lying if I said that one session changed my life. However, I can say that after doing the one year package. The best thing you can do is be consistent and dedicated in trusting the process when doing Neurofeedback. After doing Neurofeedback for a year I have been able to be more productive, be really creative, and be "normal" again. During my time with Elise doing Neurofeedback, I have started an ebay business, print on demand businesses (Redbubble and Etsy), released 2 apps in the Google Play Store, book gigs for Voice Acting, and start a rapping career. The brain training helped me reduce my anxiety and really pursue my dreams. I was able to voice multiple different characters on YouTube, do an audiobook for Audible, and voice in a video game. I got the confidence to believe in myself and my artistry. I'm currently working on releasing my debut single under the alias JNabe. My work ethic from doing brain training allows me to work with well-known artists in their respective communities. I hope that my testimonial can show you what is possible if you are dedicated and have a dream you really want to pursue. There is no magic pill to success but there is hard work, dedication, and skill to get there. I can say that in my journey to success. Neurofeedback is a stepping stone to success and a new life with less anxiety, more motivation, and an overall happier life experience! ~ JW Friendly neighbor, KC resident, Entrepreneur, Rapper, and Voice Actor 11/23/2020

I have personally experienced and witnessed (in my counseling clients) profound results from NeurOptimal neurofeedback. Increased ability to manage emotions, decreased reactivity and improved cognitive functioning are just a few of the benefits. If you're ready to change your life, this is the way to go! Elise is a caring and skilled professional who will guide you through this transformative process.

I am a believer!!

I have now had the equivalent of 8 sessions and the results have been quite noticeable. Less stress is the major difference. Patience is another. I am now able to let go of those little things that previously irked the hell out of me. It is like water running off the back of a duck. No problem. My attitude has changed as well. I no longer have to do something - I actually look forward to it. This is like a spa day for the mind, but more beneficial. I look forward to my next session.

Give it a try.

After three months doing the brain training with Elise I can say that in addition to being more relaxed, I am also more focused, more alert and even have more energy.

You should try it

When I first started Brain Training I primarily noticed the relaxation benefits, but after 2 1/2 months of NeurOptimal Neurofeedback, I am more clear headed, articulate and productive. I've noticed I don't have trouble recalling names like I used to, and I am more decisive. My husband underwent treatment and is no longer plagued with restless legs syndrome. The benefits run the gamut from easing anxiety and depression to improving focus. This technique can benefit people of all ages, and there are no side effects. Elise is very professional and dedicated to helping her clients. I am telling everyone I know about this life enhancing discovery.

Reformed Stress-Ball

by Rachel
(Kansas City, MO)

I have a very busy lifestyle in that I have a full-time job in addition to launching my own full-time business. I have always been a worrier and I wear my emotions on my sleeve (particularly stress!) I was feeling a constant level of anxiety/stress which was affecting my relationships and overall happiness. I knew that in order to launch my business and repair some relationships I needed to do something immediately. 

Someone suggested neurofeedback to me, and specifically NeurOptimal. I made neurofeedback my top priority as I knew my emotional health is the most important thing to achieve success in life. If I couldn't handle the relationships, the work load, the negative feedback loop; then I wouldn't have the energy to be successful. 

NeurOptimal has dramatically altered how I move through the world. I have completed 22 sessions to date. My anxiety is much lower, I react to people and situations in a calmer manner. My relationships have gotten stronger, I am able to focus better, and my tennis game has improved (optimal performance through focus!) I take one thing at a time now and that makes me feel stronger and more capable. I am grateful that this tool exists and that someone shared it with me.

Changed my life!!!

by Briana

I have been receiving brain train sessions with Elise twice a week for over two months now. I could not image my life with out it!! Brain train has helped increase my memory, my energy levels, and to focus more on the here and now, to be more present. It helps decrease my stress levels, and my anxiety. Before brain train I would get weekly migraines, now I'm only getting one a month which wouldn't be possible without brain train!!! I do not stress the small stuff as much as I used too. I can let negative feelings come and go more quickly. I have been able to address personal issues in my life that I have been avoiding thanks to brain train, and so I don't have to carry around that weight any more. It has opened my mind to more possibilities for my future!
