Traditional Biofeedback utilizes basic tools such as a pH strip, weight scale, or a mirror while Neo/Biofeedback utilizes technology to gauge the energetic (frequency) imbalances. These signals are typically physiological in expression, meaning, they can represent as pain, illness, stress, tension, increased heart rate, irregular breathing rhythms, anxiety, depression, anger, etc. Each frequency is attuned to certain organs and our bodies tend towards a body system to signal to us that something is amiss or off balance. Because we are electrical organism, it is possible to measure imbalances in frequency (function) within our own bodies using Biofeedback tools.

Single-Channel Point Testing (Frequency) Integrated Neo/Biofeedback, Monitoring & Self-Regulation Tools: The benefits of Integrated Neo/Biofeedback as tools to self-regulate and self-manage body signs and symptoms. I am a Holistic Healthcare Psychotherapist, Spiritual Coach, Pastoral Care provider, Biofeedback Practitioner, and 3rd year Doctorate student in Natural and Sacred Medicine (DNM/DSM respectively). This body, spirit connection intrigued me and my connection to others (through pain) inspired me to return to academia. I began to see the patterns in my life where my lowest points in Spirit were my sickliest points in body. I was no longer a loose leaf aimlessly blowing in the wind of life. My journey has taught me to see myself in a new way. Questions of purpose and meaning in our lives opens doorways and opportunities for transformation, self-empowerment, forgiveness, and acceptance. I also knew then that these conversations were vital to the well-being of communities.
I knew then, the value of suffering, pain, and personal challenges. As I openly pondered these questions with others (in similar situations), I discovered that I was not alone in asking these questions. My own lived-experiences and challenges of depression, anxiety, spiritual pain and confusion, patterns of domestic violence, grief and loss, and a low sense of self perpetuated my questions of purpose and meaning in my life, “Why the heck do I exist at all? Just to suffer? What does happiness look like anyway? Is there such a thing?” The idea of feeling good or being happy was fantasy at most some decades ago. My motivation to offer Whole-person Care began long before my return to academia. Although I am proud of my academic achievements, training, and clinical experience, I prefer not to give the credit of what I do and why to pure academics.
