What is neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback—also known as EEG biofeedback—is a scientifically recognized computer-assisted brain training method. It trains various brain functions such as concentration, memory, peak performance, creativity, relaxation, etc.
Neurofeedback is a gentle and effective restorative method for treating stress-related illnesses and functional disorders.

Scientific studies have shown that stress, strain, pain, etc. alter our brain wave patterns; as a result, chemicals are released into the body that disrupt the balance and lead to discomfort. Neurofeedback is therefore suitable for everyone. Neurofeedback allows us to retune our brain wave patterns – sustainably and without side effects.
To measure brain waves, sensors are attached to the head and earlobes. The client sits relaxed in front of the screen and follows the graphical and acoustic representation of the brain waves.

Who can benefit from neurofeedback?
Children and adults with...

• Attention and concentration problems (e.g., ADD, ADHD, as well as frequent careless mistakes and distractibility)
• Concentration and memory problems, memory problems in old age
• Learning difficulties, learning disorders
• Dyslexia and dyscalculia
• Anxiety disorders such as: exam anxiety (including school stress), phobias, fear of heights, claustrophobia, panic attacks, etc.
• Mood swings, mood instability, mental instability, lack of impulse control such as frequent tantrums
• Depression
• Autism
• Migraine, headaches
• Sleep disorders (including nightmares, bedwetting, night terrors, sleepwalking, teeth grinding/bruxism, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep)
• Trauma
• Epilepsy
• Chronic pain, fibromyalgia
• All types of stress, irritable bowel syndrome, burnout, or as burnout prevention
• Compulsive behavior, addictions, eating disorders
• High/low blood pressure
• Digestive problems
• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
• General muscle tension/whiplash
• Tinnitus
• High sensitivity HSP (calming of neural overexcitement, strengthening of one's own filter mechanisms)

and for...

• Improving performance in school, academic, or professional settings
• Improving concentration (working in a focused manner, listening attentively, remembering easily)
• Increasing balance and relaxation
• Peak performance

• Biofeedback is a scientifically recognized, highly effective, and non-invasive therapy and training method for visualizing and providing feedback on specific bodily functions that normally occur unconsciously (e.g., breathing, muscle tension, body temperature, pulse rate, skin resistance, etc.) and are important for health, well-being, and performance. Electronic devices and sensors are used to provide trainees with audiovisual feedback on unconscious physiological functions.

  PERSONAL

  Medicine has been a part of my life since birth. My father and mother ran a general practice from our home, so my siblings and I experienced the everyday life of a doctor firsthand. I am still interested in all topics related to physical and mental health.
  Although I pursued a career in education, in my work as a secondary school teacher I noticed the enormous influence that the mental and physical condition of students has on their performance and how much potential for development still exists in these areas. Neurofeedback and biofeedback are two excellent training methods for optimizing both the personal well-being and performance of young people and adults.
  After a detailed and in-depth consultation, I will use the objective test results to create a customized training program, which we will carry out once or twice a week in my practice.
  I am convinced that your well-being and performance will also improve and look forward to welcoming you in Zollikerberg.

     

  During the biofeedback session, participants not only learn to consciously perceive these physiological processes, but also how they can specifically influence and stimulate these processes in their own bodies. Numerous controlled therapy studies have shown that biofeedback is a learning process through which patients quickly gain voluntary self-control over their physiological system and can then transfer this to everyday situations even without a feedback device.
   

  Biofeedback can help children and adults with the following symptoms:

• Stress symptoms
• Burnout
• ADHD/ADD
• Anxiety disorders such as: exam anxiety (including school stress), phobias, fear of heights, claustrophobia, panic attacks, etc.
• Depression
• Chronic pain, fibromyalgia
• High/low blood pressure
• Eating disorders
• Migraine, headaches
• Sleep disorders
