Your Heart-Brain Health
As a psychotherapist for over 35 years, I have observed the progress in the development of our understanding of neuroscience in the treatment of mental health. Neuroscience is now essential in providing our clients with an complete understanding of their disorder, but also to provide treatments that are linked to their brain, and their heart-brain connection.
I offer a holistic approach to mental / emotional health and well-being that incorporates a variety of technologies and meditation to easily empower clients to be able to manage their mental health.
Heart-Brain Health and Meditation
For centuries, meditation has been recognized as a valuable personal practice supporting mental, emotional, and physical health. By strengthening the mind-body connection, meditation aims to reduce stress, promote calmness, and help regulate the autonomic nervous system. Due to these benefits, I regularly incorporate meditation and HeartMath in conjunction with psychotherapy as foundational tools for personal transformation.
In my opinion, Dr Joe Dispenza has developed the most scientifically-based meditation program shown to enhance brainwave function, heart-brain coherence for health, healing, emotional regulation and personal transformation. This is why I incorporate his meditations in my treatment approach with most clients. (See ‘Back-to-Balance’ Meditation).
HeartMath
HeartMath helps the body adapt better to stress, feel calmer and less anxious. In my practice, I use HeartMath, a heart rate variability training program that helps reduce stress, balance emotions and increase performance through real-time feedback. Heart Math focuses on the brain-heart connection, helping to maintain a smooth consistent heart rate to promote balance and harmony, known as “coherence,” and enhance mental functioning. (See HeartMath to learn more.)
Neural Optimization with BrainTap
Neural optimization represents the next step in supporting your overall well-being. Neural optimization works as a method of stimulating the brain with 5 different technologies to enhance brainwave function, supporting the autonomic nervous system come into greater balance, resulting less stress and anxiety, more calm. This in turn promotes mental, physical and emotional regulation.
What is BrainTap?
Braintapping offers a fast and convenient way to relax, reboot, and revitalize by optimizing your brain’s peak potential anytime and anywhere. Supported by neuroscience and research, braintapping’s guided meditations or music-only sessions deliver proven results, especially for those experiencing high stress, sleep difficulties, low energy, and other lifestyle-related challenges.
BrainTap works by activating your body’s natural ability to heal. Whether you’re seeking deeper sleep, an energy boost, or enhanced mental clarity, BrainTap sessions are designed to meet your individual needs.
BrainTap is a unique technology that uses light, sound, and guided relaxation to help your brain function better. It involves wearing a special headset that combines calming sounds, gentle lights, and guided sessions to help your brain reach a state of deep relaxation. This process, known as brainwave entrainment, helps your brain reset and recharge, so you can feel more focused and refreshed.
The BrainTap headset works by using a mix of sounds and lights to guide your brain into a calm and focused state. The technology helps your brain sync up with specific sound frequencies that are linked to relaxation and clear thinking. This experience helps reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and even enhance your sleep.

My Story:
Discovering BrainTap as a psychotherapist for 35+ years I have always been a proponent of meditation to help support clients' achieve emotional regulation. However I found many clients stated they 'couldn't' meditate, or didn’t think was working; in addition, they had difficulty following through on their own with their meditation practice.
