Bobbi Sanchez, MA, BCN on NewMind Journey

Speakers: Bobbi Sanchez, MA, BCN, Neurofeedback Practitioner, bobbisanchez.com

Bobbi Sanchez, MA, BCN: My name is Bobbi Sanchez, and I use the NewMind system to serve clients in the Denver area with an office in Lakewood, Colorado. My clients tend to be looking for help with executive function issues like attention, focus, impulse control, memory and calming, word finding, and sleep. More than anyone else, I train my own brain because it makes me a better and smarter person. I'm not a counselor nor a health care provider but have an M.A. In education and a B.A. in psychology. Therefore I don't treat anyone, but I train for more efficient brain function.

Bobbi Sanchez, MA, BCN: I would describe NewMind as an all in one neurofeedback system with great customer support, that's easy to use, easy to understand, and designed primarily for the practitioner rather than the researcher. The NewMind mapping system is easy to use and has auto artifacting and simple screens to show when and where there's too much impedance. Intake is easy because there are built in questionnaires that clients can complete at home. The mapping software suggest protocols based on the areas of the brain map most outside the norm. You can use the suggested protocols or create your own. Also when training, you don't have to reinput all the training parameters at the beginning of each session. At the end of each session, the overall trend screen and other data is saved to NewMind Maps. The NewMind Lunch and Learns welcome beginners while attracting experts who generously share their knowledge and insight. Another great thing about NewMind is that it's easy to run a session on yourself. You can choose the protocol and feedback, hook yourself up and then click start while the software does everything else. I would recommend the NewMind system because it's comparably affordable, easy to use, and because the Lunch and Learns present an incredible ongoing opportunity to learn and ask questions.
