My name is Jamie, and I am a certified NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback Brain trainer. My introduction to Neurofeedback was shortly after my son was diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder). I was looking for a way to help ease his anxieties, help him focus, and help him sleep. I soon found out that many more benefits would come from our Neurofeedback sessions, so much so that I felt I needed to be a part of this. I needed to help others. This is my passion! I bought my first professional system a few years later, and I am now very excited to join the team here at Dimension Health & Wellness. I have provided over 3500 sessions to clients who report benefits from Neurofeedback such as better focus, increased resiliency, increased quality of sleep, relief of migraines, less anxiety, a decrease in neurological tics and stimming, a decrease in medications needed, and an overall better state of mental health.
I was born and raised in Saskatchewan and moved to BC approximately 22 years ago. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and my dogs.
