Case Studies

A closer look at how clients trained, what changed, and what their before/after qEEG brain maps showed.

How to read these stories

These are real client experiences, shared for education. First names are pseudonyms, and details are simplified for privacy. Each person trained with a personalized plan built from their qEEG brain map.

Neurofeedback at New York Wellness Group is a non-medical wellness and brain-training service. It is not a treatment for any disease, and these stories are not a promise of results — everyone responds differently. Where someone had a medical condition, they continued working with their own licensed providers, and neurofeedback was used to support brain self-regulation alongside that care.

Case 01

Molly

Sleep & Rest

A drug-free path back to deep, consistent sleep.

Sessions
24
Frequency
1–2 / week
Duration
4 months
Focus
Sleep & calm

Background

In her early 40s, Molly came to us after years of severe insomnia — some nights she averaged well under an hour of sleep. She also carried a lot of daily tension. She wanted a non-medical way to help her brain settle into healthier sleep rhythms.

What we focused on

Training focused on calming over-arousal and supporting the brain states associated with restful sleep, using an eyes-closed protocol over a 4-month cycle. Her plan was guided by her qEEG brain map and adjusted as she progressed.

The journey

  • S1Reported sleeping better after the very first session.
  • S2Slept 8.5 hours the night after her second session.
  • S24Wearable sleep scores held in the high 90s through the end of her cycle.

What changed

  • Sleep quality rose from the low 40s to the high 90s on her wearable
  • More consistent, restorative nights — even while traveling
  • Calmer, with less daytime tension

“I slept 8.5 hours the night after my very first session. By the end, my watch was tracking my sleep in the high 90s.”

— Molly

Case 02

Leah

Athlete · Performance

Steadier focus and calm for a national-team athlete.

Sessions
24
Protocol
Z-Score
Window
6 months
Focus
Performance & calm

Background

Leah is a U.S. national-team athlete who came to us with performance anxiety, low mood, brain fog, and disrupted sleep — and a heavy competition and travel schedule that made consistency hard.

What we focused on

We used database-guided Z-Score training tailored to her qEEG, fitting 24 sessions around her competition calendar over six months. The goal was steadier emotional regulation, sharper focus, and better recovery.

The journey

  • S1Felt relaxed and happier after the first session.
  • S4Reported improved mood, less anxiety, and better sleep.
  • S6Brain fog cleared.
  • S24Much steadier emotion regulation and deeper, dream-rich sleep.

What changed

  • Noticeably calmer under competition pressure
  • Clearer focus and reduced brain fog
  • Deeper, more restorative sleep
  • Her before/after qEEG showed ~32% movement toward typical ranges

“By the end I had much better emotion regulation, no more anxiety, and deeper sleep with more dreams.”

— Leah

Case 03

Christie

Energy & Focus

Rebuilding energy, focus, and sleep after a long illness.

Sessions
24
Frequency
1 / week
Training
Eyes closed
Focus
Energy & clarity

Background

A young woman, Christie came to us with low energy, persistent brain fog, poor sleep, and anxiety that lingered for years after a viral illness. She was under the care of her medical team and wanted a non-medical way to support her energy, focus, and overall regulation.

What we focused on

Her plan began with peripheral, eyes-closed training to help calm the nervous system, then shifted to a two-channel balancing protocol over a 24-session cycle — all guided by her qEEG and her week-to-week response.

The journey

  • EarlyLittle change at first; we kept training and tracking.
  • MidA noticeably better week — more energy, out and about.
  • LaterSymptoms easier to manage across energy, mood, and sleep.
  • S24Steadier overall, with her specialist impressed by her progress.

What changed

  • More energy and stamina through the day
  • Less brain fog and clearer thinking
  • Better mood and fewer anxious moments
  • Improved, more restful sleep
  • qEEG showed greater normalization and more balanced activity

“I have more energy, a better mood, and I’m sleeping well again.”

Case 04

Stella

Focus & Clarity

Sharper focus, better memory, and a return to feeling like herself.

Sessions
24
Cadence
2 / week
Length
30 min
Focus
Focus, memory, coordination

Background

In her 50s and about nine months after a stroke, Stella was continuing her occupational therapy when she came to us. She wanted to support focus, memory, sleep, and fine-motor coordination as a complement to her ongoing medical care.

What we focused on

Her cycle began with SMR training to support calm, steady focus, then moved to Z-Score training across parietal and occipital regions, finishing with reinforcement — 24 sessions of 30 minutes, twice a week, all guided by her brain map.

The journey

  • S1Felt calmer and more focused, with less headache.
  • S8Regained enough hand control to manage daily tasks independently.
  • S14Short-term memory noticeably improved.
  • S24“Felt like myself again.”

What changed

  • Better fine-motor control and daily independence
  • Improved short-term memory and clearer thinking
  • Deeper, more restful sleep and steadier mood
  • Before/after qEEG showed excess slow-wave activity moving toward balance

“My focus and memory improved so much, and my sleep got better too. Honestly, I felt like myself again.”

Case 05

Jay

Focus & Learning

Supporting calm, self-awareness, and learning for a young adult.

Sessions

Weekly
Focus
Calm & learning

Background

Jay is a young adult on the autism spectrum. His family wanted a drug-free way to support attention, calm, and self-regulation — and, over time, reading and learning. He was not on medication and continued his usual routines throughout.

What we focused on

Training began by targeting the sensory-motor region to support steadier self-regulation, starting daily and easing to weekly maintenance as he progressed, with the focus gradually shifting toward attention and learning. Everything was guided by his qEEG.

The journey

  • StartDaily sessions targeting self-regulation.
  • S24Calmer, with much less repetitive behavior and more self-awareness.
  • OngoingWeekly maintenance, now focused on attention and reading.

What changed

  • Calmer, with far fewer repetitive behaviors
  • More self-awareness — joining conversations he used to stay out of
  • Better focus to support learning
  • qEEG showed ~31–32% movement toward typical ranges (eyes closed and open)

“He’s making progress every week. He’s calmer, more aware, and joining conversations he used to stay out of.”

— Jay’s parent
