Everyone’s brain produces electricity that manifests in brainwave patterns. When these patterns are abnormal symptoms arise. Neurotherapy is a type of biofeedback that safely retrains the brain to produce healthy neural pathways and to maintain them. Many corporations and elite athletes are utilizing neurotherapy to reduce stress, maximize focus, productivity and achieve peak performance. Research shows that neurofeedback is helpful in addressing the myriad of symptoms of cellular functional disorders including learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety, addiction, depression, PTSD, OCD, psychosis, autism, memory loss, head injury, sleep disorders, strokes, seizures, fatigue and pain syndromes.

When an individual does not make the expected progress with neurofeedback, it is most often due to an underlying metabolic issue that needs to be addressed, usually with a toxic or traumatic origin. Dr. Christner then gathers the vital information needed by way of clinical interview, standard lab, functional and bioenergetic testing to determine the triggers of the chronic inflammatory state that are limiting progress. Her approach allows for personalized performance and preventative plans to maximize and main health and vitality as well as plans to prevent disease and address symptoms..
