At a Crossroads: Restoring Cognitive Function through Neurofeedback, Energy and Somatic Therapies

Autism disrupts the early childhood developmental process which is the foundation for neurotypical development. Recovery is most complete when paired with therapies that improve brain regulation, enhance the adaptation of physical body systems, release underlying stress and trauma and bridge the developmental gaps. At Crossroads we tailor our multidisciplinary approach for each individual including unique neurofeedback modalities, energy bioregulation systems and integrated somatic therapies. We will share the insights we have garnered on this journey through recovery.

Following a 28 year career in computer science research and development, Jackie's learning about recovery has been first hand, with the need to recover herself and her son from a toxic mold exposure, lyme disease, with illness onset precipitated by vaccines. Neurofeedback, energy and somatic therapies were key components in the recovery process.
