In Kim’s words

Evidence-Based & Holistic

This approach is supported by decades of research showing that neurofeedback helps regulate the brain networks involved in trauma, including the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and default mode network.

Trauma isn’t just stored in the mind — it’s stored in the nervous system. Neurofeedback helps retrain that system.
