“Our son is a much different boy from a few months ago, and the only thing we can say for sure is it’s because of (Nora). He's much calmer now, and seems to be developing more sensitivity, compassion and concern for others. He has also become very appreciative and extraordinarily loving. Thank you Nora for relieving us of what seemed to be an impossible burden.”

“…I have found Neurofeedback and Nora’s professional integrity, dedication and personal investment in the success of the treatment to be a true gift, allowing me to lift my depression and continue my life without medication. A most sincere thank you for a life changing experience.”

“Within a couple of months of starting Neurofeedback, I was able to reduce the dose of anti-depressants. Before long, I eliminated medication entirely…My moods are much more consistent and I am able to take much greater pleasure in life, even during the dark days of winter. Thank you, Nora, for providing this excellent technology and such caring therapy.”

“I was having two migraines a week for several months…I started Neurofeedback with Nora Gedgaudas and after 10 weeks had only two migraines that required medication and both of those had specific triggers. I am so grateful for the relief.”

“As a teenager, I was told that I would be on medication for the rest of my life if I wanted to keep my moods balanced and function "normally". Bipolar disorder. I didn't believe it. When I heard of Neurofeedback it felt right immediately. It just made so much more sense than conventional western medicine and prescription drugs. Drugs take a person away from their true self. Neurofeedback allows the true self to shine through and become balanced, ridding the brain of the unnatural static that pollutes the psyche of modern civilization.

After my very first session with Nora, I knew we were on the right path at last. I trusted Nora immediately. She is one of the most genuine, knowledgeable, and compassionate people I will ever know. Her support and dedication to helping me become healthy throughout my training played just as important a role as the Neurofeedback, itself.

That first Neurofeedback session with Nora marked the last day I ever took a prescription medication. My spirit, ambition, and passion have been in full force ever since. People who knew me before Neurofeedback cannot believe the drastic positive changes they have watched me go through. I am now pursuing a career path in holistic health care so that I can help others as Nora and the miracle of Neurofeedback have helped me.
Neurofeedback is without a doubt the future of healing and life enhancement.”

“We cannot thank Nora enough for the valuable insight she brought to our family as to what Neurofeedback and diet can do to help our son…..(Our son) is able to function well in school without drugs and with his teachers unable to believe he’s been diagnosed with ADD. We highly recommend her as a professional in Neurofeedback.”

“Before I started neurotherapy with you (2-3 years ago) my winter depression was getting worse each year. Since completing the therapy, I have experienced infrequent “down” days that might last 1-3 days, but the multi-week-long depression that used to plague me is all gone now. January used to be my worst month and now it’s just a normal month. My conclusion is that neurotherapy works and has permanent results. I hope your business is doing well, Nora. It’s important work.

“I started coming to Nora after about a month and a half of constant horrible headaches. The doctors couldn’t find out what was wrong and the MRI was clear. They decided to put me on medications to see if that would help and all they did was make me sick. I started doing Neurofeedback and slowly my headaches got better. Now I rarely have a headache and when I do they aren’t as severe and they last a much shorter amount of time. If I didn’t come to Northwest Neurofeedback I would have probably had to re-take my sophomore year of high school.
Nora is very kind and considerate and she truly cares about her clients. I would recommend her over medications anytime!!

“We had great success with Nora as our Neurotherapist. She knows the brain backwards and forwards and can find the right protocol to address the underlying issues. Neurofeedback had such a global affect on my young 4 year old son and helped resolve a myriad of issues such as hyperactivity, inattentiveness, difficulty sleeping/waking, aggression, anger, sensory integration disorder and anxiety. We didn't realize how much stress we were under until my son started healing and we all felt better. It has been worth the investment.”

In October 2004 I panicked when I learned that I needed to understand the neurology of the ear and brain in order to continue to sell The Listening Program. I had used the program with people with learning disabilities and autism. Suddenly my own learning disabilities loomed large, so I got a brain scan at the Amen Clinic. It showed, among other things, that my prefrontal cortex was not working up to snuff, so I was given Effexor. For the first time in my life, I was neither anxious nor depressed. However, I was so dizzy that could not get from the bed to the bathroom with out hitting every wall.

I consulted with a chiropractic neurologist who was a great help in dealing with the dizziness. He used simple things, like having me track his finger, to tell which parts of my brain were working and which were impaired. He was able to help me stabilize so I could back off the Effexor and still not have the depression or the anxiety. But when he had done all he could for me, I still felt like a lump in the corner.
I could not fix dinner without someone else in the kitchen for fear I would start a fire. I struggled to write e-mail or a thank you note. Multi-tasking was all but impossible. To add to this, I was sleeping from 2 to 5 hours each night, waking between 2 and 4 am.

Then we went to a conference for The Listening Program . Siegfried Othmer spoke about neurofeedback. My husband and I had a wonderful talk with him and his wife Sue as we took the shuttle back to the airport. They were very enthusiastic about a woman in Portland whom they had trained. So I went to see Nora Gedgaudas. That first day I felt like a phantom, as though I were impersonating a person. By the third session I felt like a real, solid person. My sleep was good on the nights after Neurofeedback sessions, and over time, sleeping more normally became an every night proposition.

At some point we began to do alpha-theta work which has left me with a sense of having resolved some of the emotional traumas of childhood that continued plague me. I cannot explain specifically what took place, but for the first time in my life I am able to self-quiet.
I will be forever grateful to Nora for the work she has done with me. I feel that neurofeedback has given my life back to me.
Sincerely,
E.H.

“Nora was instrumental in assisting our son, a sophomore in high school, with Asperger’s Syndrome. With appropriate and intense Neurotherapy he was able to maintain an ability to interact on nearly a normal social level. Nora also worked closely with us in treating our own situational and endogenous depression as our family went through several crises. We came to know and appreciate Nora’s extensive knowledge not only in the field of Neurofeedback but in nutritional support, as well. Without reservation, we highly recommend Nora. Her professionalism, dedication, communication skills and her ethical standards are of the highest caliber.”
