The Neuro Brain - Neurofeedback Melbourne

Life changing!
Having done one Neurofeedback session with Inez de Vega I decided to rent a machine for me and my 19 year old son. We went from extreme long-term stress and conflict to total affection and love within 2 weeks. We kept the machine for 2 more months because every day we could feel new positive effects. The most amazing thing is that when I play a concert (violin in Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) I have absolutely no nerves whatsoever anymore. My son is more caring and compassionate and thoughtful now and we are really sweet to each other.
Absolutely life changing.

Don't be fooled by the fake reviews. Inez is an inflexible nightmare to deal with. Not getting my business!

Like many others I had been curious to try Neurofeedback after first reading about it in ‘The Body Keeps The Score’. After being on my own journey of recovery from obsessive thinking, compulsive behaviour and unfettered anxiety for nearly a decade, I had reached a point where I was desperate to find the “off switch” and regain some sort of control and stability in my life. After searching for accessible Neurofeedback protocols in Melbourne, I was blessed to find Inez.

During my first phone conversation and consultation with Inez, I found her to be understanding and patient with an uncanny ability to articulate the complexities of my lived experience. Inez’s practice is calming, accessible and I found Inez always willing to accommodate my schedule to ensure I could access a Neurofeedback session and eventually the rental of my own system.

In terms of my Neuroptimal experience I was an open minded sceptic. After nearly a decade of trying therapy, breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, medication and much more I had reached a point where I was starting to lose hope that there was a therapy that could work for me. On top of that the jungle of opinions, articles and contradictory information regarding neurofeedback on the internet left me feeling overwhelmed to say the least. I figured the only way to gain some level of insight in to the efficacy of Neuroptimal was to dive straight in and rent a system for a month.

As the Neuroptimal system is passive (one does not need to ‘do’ anything other than sit there while receiving neurofeedback) it is easy to wonder whether a change in the brain is actually taking place. However after a month of daily practice, the shift in both my mood, emotional state and mental health is tangible to say the least. I am sleeping better, I have very little to almost no anxiety, I have not had a bout of rumination or obsessive thinking - an activity which would usually consume days or weeks of my life - nor have I had a desire to partake in compulsive behaviour. In short, my mood and emotional life are now stable. Additionally, Neuroptimal has helped me ‘tone down’ my emotional state, the hijacking of my nervous system, allowing me to be able to implement the insight and knowledge I have gained through other practices such as talk therapy, meditation and yoga.

Understandably this all sounds too good to be true, however I’d encourage anyone curious about Neuroptimal or neurofeedback in general to try the system for themselves ~ the true results come from daily practice.

Thank you once again Inez!

During Melbourne's lengthy lockdowns I began reading psychology books and discovered Neurofeedback. After researching various clinics online, I stumbled across Inez and felt connected to her professional background and personal journey. I was interested in working through personal trauma and clearing that constant overwhelming feeling, foggy brain and anxiety which had surfaced over the past 3 years. Inez was lovely, very approachable and empathetic during my treatment. I first rented the kit in January for 1 month. I felt a significant shift in my mind.mental clarity, more calm, much less anxiety and a shift in energy. My premenstrual anxiety completely vanished, which is very significant for me. I feel I can genuinely deal with life situations with a calmer more positive approach. As a full-time artist and designer my treatments have reduced fear and removed blockages to my creativity. I have just returned the kit after hiring it for another month. I look forward to booking it again for my final month of treatments. As I am allowing myself 3 months of treatment for a significant, life changing, personal breakthrough. Thank you so much Inez, thank goodness I found you!

Inez is one of the most pleasant people I have met, so easy to talk to and she has so much wisdom to offer.

I hired the Nuero Feedback machine from Inez for 3 months and it has been a game changer for our whole family. Our family dynamics have improved greatly, its like the volume in our house has been turned down.
We are all less reactive and quicker to be able to self regulate and come back to harmony.

Noticed the biggest change in our teen daughter's moods - which has been such relief to have her back.

Its been a real blessing to have come a cross Inez, she was so helpful throughout the whole process and was always available if I needed to ask something.

No doubt I will be hiring the machine from Inez again.

Thank you again for all your support, your a wonderful human being

Deciding to start Neurofeedback Therapy with Inez was one of the best decision I have made. Inez is one of the warmest, most compassionate people I have met, and made the whole process feel safe and easy. She listened, gave good insight and made me feel hopeful for how my future could change. And after renting a machine I feel like I have healed in many ways which I have Inez to thank for:)

Inez has to be one of the most loveliest and genuine person I have ever met. Guiding me through every step of my neurofeedback experience and making it extremely enjoyable and therapeutic. The sessions have given me a lot of life changing benefits such as more calm, clarity and focus in my mind. I have now rented out a device and cannot wait to see the results afterwards. I feel more relaxed after every session, and it is improving my meditation sessions as well. I have never felt more Zen and collected before. I am a previous sufferer of PTSD and anxiety however NF has taken me a long way. Much love for Inez!

Meeting Inez & Neuroptimal Neurofeedback has been a blessing to say the least. My son had been suffering severe depression and this is the only treatment that has helped! When I asked how he was the next day, he said he felt the best he has felt in months. We continued treatment and this treatment has kept him out of the darkness of depression, so we are hiring the machine for the month coming so we can do it more often to build the neural pathways back to health.

We are so grateful for Inez, she is a very kind, professional, happy person who explains everything really well. Her support is so appreciated as well. She is understanding of my sons experience and really empathises well.

We are so very grateful to have found Inez and Neuroptimal, thanks Inez!:)

Neurofeedback has made a big difference in the life of our autistic 7 year old daughter. Inez was so supportive encouraging and genuine in her care of our daughter she took things slowly and was very gnetle and caring in introuding the neurofeedback to her. We started noticing a change in our daughter after about a week of sessions, she seemed calmer, less reactive and happier. The little things we noticed like that she was sing along to songs on the radio which she hadnt done before. We saw a big reduction in her breakdowns and tantrums and this has got progressively better. We decieded to hire the machine and do it at home so that she was in her own environment which made it more comfortable. We did two full months of treatments with a month in between each and have continued to see improvments since we finished the last treatment in March. We have been very holistic in our approach to helping our daughter including natropath suppliments, craniel osteo, kenisiology chiropractic but it was the neurofeedback that has had the greatest impact. I can honestly say that this s the best treatment that we have done to help our daughter and so appreciative of how Inez helped us though the process, she genuinely cared and was very attentive and available to answer any questions.

My son had a stroke at birth affecting one side of his body and his vision. He also has periventricular leukomalecia and hydrocephalus. He endured much time in hospital, 3 brain surgeries and countless blood tests and procedures. He has been on an intense physical home program since 13months old to help him learn to move which was very difficult and caused him a lot of stress as well. As a result he was not a happy baby. He would cry, bang his head on the floor, slap his head with his hand quite viciously and basically not be great at self controlling emotions

We decided to try NeuroOptimal Neurofeedback as he was just 2years old and we could run this program while he slept. Inez was a wonderful consultant and took the time to ensure we knew how to use the machine and even managed to load our sons lullaby music onto the program.

After 8 sessions we noticed he was calmer, by 2 weeks (14 sessions) the head banging had all but stopped. We had rented for one month and asked to extend for a second month as he was going through some intensive programs with his physiotherapist and occupational therapist so we wanted something to help that. I’m surprised by the results. I certainly wished for the head banging to stop but didn’t expect it! He’s a much calmer, happier little boy and participates in his physical daily program very well. He’s has more babbles of different sounds as well which is lovely to hear.

We’re very happy with the results and the ease of use of the program.

I’ve undergone more than ten sessions of neurofeedback with Inez at the Neurobrain in Malvern. The process involves having a few transmitter cables connected to your earlobes and scalp while you relax and listen to music. The device sends messages to your brain and teaches your brain how to self-regulate and heal. It’s very relaxing and has helped relieve chronic back pain that I’ve had for some time. I’ve also noticed that my ability to focus and concentrate on tasks has increased a lot. The benefits are similar to long-term meditation.

“Neuroptimal” neurofeedback training is a naturopathic process, which means it doesn’t introduce anything new into the body, just information. And it’s safe for all ages, and recommended for all kinds of conditions, including mental health problems, ADHD, and autism.

Check out the Neurobrain website for more information. Inez also has neurofeedback kits for rent, which means the whole family can do the training with unlimited sessions, without the need for repeated treks to Malvern.
