Introducing the BrainTap 🧠
This new headset uses light therapy paired with either isochronic tones, 10-cycle holographic music, binaural beats, or guided visualization to balance your brainwaves and neurotransmitter production necessary for optimal brain function! This is similar to guided meditation, however it takes several sessions and lots of practice to start to see the real benefits of meditation. BrainTap synchronizes your brainwaves with specialize sounds, allowing you to reap all the benefits of meditation immediately. The goal of the BrainTap is to optimize brainwave activity and neuroplasticity!

There are protocols for anxiety, sleep, depression, focus and concentration, health and wellness journeys, motivation, stress, and more! Our patients are loving it so far 😁
