“I first heard about neurofeedback about 8 years ago and I was excited and optimistic about the possibilities it could provide for both myself and my family. Throughout my life I have been in search of answers for my overactive and stressed out brain. My lifelong search has been for holistic, natural approaches to balance mind, body and spirit. Over the past 3 years training with NeurOptimal, it has been that answer, I feel Transformed! I live in a more present and aware state that allows me to confidently flow more with life. I have always had a passion for helping people and I am very grateful to fulfill that passion now as a NeurOptimal Trainer. “

RENETTE DE BEER: NEUROPTIMAL TRAINER
“Immigrating to Canada at a later stage of life was challenging. As a former teacher, I started volunteering at a local school and alternative learning facility. Still struggling to pull myself out of emotional distress, anxiety, insomnia and a feeling of overwhelm, I was willing to try the NeurOptimal neurofeedback brain training system. Early in training I knew that my brain, being self-organizing and self-correcting would benefit and that I needed to create the condition to support it.
The NeurOptimal training changed my life and I wanted to offer others the opportunity too. My self-confidence, mental clarity, motivation and energy returned. Today I feel unstoppable and excited about new opportunities!
The ability to remain calm and produce the right state, whenever it is necessary, is paramount to learning and brain development for the young child. My passion is to build strong minded, happy and healthy families.”

JAKE’S JOURNEY TO STARTING OPEN MIND WELLNESS
“Since my early 20’s I have had a dream and vision for a natural healing centre. The idea of bringing together the emerging technologies for personal health and well-being was exciting to me, where we could hand back control of personal health to each individual. I was always drawn to the potential possibilities for myself and completely fulfilled in the growth and healing of others. The first step and basis for the centre turned out to be NeurOptimal® neurofeedback.
My experience with NeurOptimal® neurofeedback came on a day I was feeling pretty upbeat. I felt good, there was nothing particularly stressful on my mind, and I was trying out this new technology that could help people in need (I didn’t think it could help me, I was already feeling great). Although I felt relatively great on this day, I did have some struggles with nervousness, worry, anxiety, stress, and sleep issues. To my surprise after my session I felt clearer, less bombarded with thoughts and more in the moment of my experience. It was very weird to me to have something alleviated that I didn’t even know was affecting me, I thought obsessive thoughts were normal.
As I continued training I felt more and more interesting experiences. I had more confidence, I slept more deeply and fell asleep faster. My movements felt better and my thoughts were more organized and fluid. I felt more joy and less suffering in the most mundane aspects of my daily life. It was awesome.
After so much improvement I was shocked and confused when some difficult feelings still came up. I felt anxiousness, worry, anger, and they all caused me stress because “Why am I feeling this way!? I’m supposed to be free from all negative feelings because of the brain training!” After the feelings passed, as they always would, I realized that the difficult feelings were less intense, and passed much more quickly than they had in the past. I realized that I couldn’t escape experiencing the more ‘uncomfortable” emotions, they are a part of life, but they were dealt with and released much more easily than before.
This brought me to view my life in a slightly different way, more like a ride, like a roller coaster. They both have peaks and valleys, which can’t be avoided, but it was how I perceived and adapted to the ride that ultimately decided my enjoyment level. Could I learn to roll with every up, down and twist of the ride or would I fear and resist every drop and turn, it’s ultimately up to me.
The past few years Open Mind Wellness has grown to include more complimentary services such as Bio-Resonance scans, Sound Healing, PEMF Therapy as well as Counselling and Coaching services. We provide health and wellness products and workshops as well to bring our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being into balance, and to allow you to experience your highest potential. I have experienced the benefits of all we provide firsthand, and am so dedicated and excited to be sharing this opportunity with others as well.”
