Testimonials

Hear some words from our clients at Optimal Brain who have experienced many of the great benefits that customized neurofeedback can provide with time and dedication to the process.

Lori helped me immensely! She let me rent her equipment so I could train from home, which was incredibly helpful since I have a young child at home. I trained every day for 2 months and saw HUGE improvements in my mental health, sleep, and overall happiness. I highly recommend Lori to anyone in southern CA who wants a convenient way to uplevel their life — plus, she’s a wonderful and knowledgeable woman to work with! I learned a lot from her and I’m really glad she’s on my wellness team. 10/10!

Our family was happy to find Optimal Brain Performance with Dr. Lori. It helped our son with some of his anxiety and allowed him some space for a more constructive and cognitive thought process. Removing some of the edge on the anxiety helped provide a glimpse into his ability to process different situations and think in a more sound way. The process was straightforward and seamless with Dr. Lori.

I have suffered from PTSD symptoms such as depression and anxiety for many years and tried many standard treatments and medications with varying levels of success, but never found a satisfactory whole solution. Dr. Lori Burri is an amazing care provider. She treated me with a combination of empathy, professionalism and extremely impressive capability with a combination of neurofeedback therapy and standard psychotherapy. With her consistent patience and dedication, I have become free of the worst of my symptoms and am well on the way to complete recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Burri, she is the best!

This was such a great experience! I highly recommend neurofeedback for anyone who has experienced PTSD, anxiety, or depression. Lori is amazing, always responds quickly to questions and the process is so easy and relaxing. I’ve already recommended this to some of my colleagues. If you have any reservations, give it a shot and you’ll see how beneficial this type of therapy is.

Lori and neurofeedback have honestly changed my life! If I could give it 10 stars I would. I loved the therapy so much. The best part is that you don’t have to do anything other than hook up and relax. It does it all for you. You don’t have to talk and relive any of your traumas. It does all the healing for you. I loved that I had the equipment at home. You get to do the treatments from the comfort of your bed, couch, or anywhere at home that is comfy. Lori supports you as much or as little as you need/want. She’s always available if you need to talk through something or are apprehensive about the treatments or anything at all. She is so smart and knowledgeable. Everyone should do this! I had underlying traumas, like most people but no major incidents. Just lots of little ones that are accumulated for a lifetime. I’m so less triggered by my kids and feel so much more present day-to-day. Situations that would normally stress me out don’t or don’t nearly as much anymore. I feel way less anxious now. My husband and I did it together which was great bc we could talk about our experiences and shifts we saw in one another. I did the treatment with him because originally it was supposed to be for his PTSD and I was doing it to be supportive. Well, it was the therapy I didn’t know I needed. I had postpartum anxiety and depression and neurofeedback allowed me to lower my dose of medication. Literally, everyone should do this. Neurofeedback has allowed me to react to situations for what they presently are - not a trigger for what they might mean or stirred emotions from the past. It’s as if it allows us to take a step back and view a situation in a more neutral state. It doesn’t change your story, history, or memory, rather it changes how you react to things. I wish I would’ve had access to this therapy decades ago.

“Ten years of therapy in a few short months”

As a neurofeedback practitioner, I often hear from clients who have these incredible breakthrough experiences that are monumental to their health and well-being.

With his permission, I would like to share one client’s powerful words.

“Just wanted you to know, around a month ago the Hoover dam opened. These last few weeks have truly been legendary. It would be hard to put into words the magic your guidance and the machine have spun. It would be hard to tell most people this because they just wouldn’t believe it but I know you obviously would, so to you, I can say magic has happened and my life will never ever be the same. Joyful elation is the best way to describe it, like a gift from heaven. 

You were right. Stick with it and watch the magic work and for those who have cut it short because they didn't have the dedication or belief to continue, it is such a shame given their lives would end up like mine: an insanely clear mind that has opened the floodgates to clarity about a million events in my life starting from a very young age. The open mind has brought a deep, deep understanding as to why, how, and what purpose events in my life have held, where my deepest gifts as well as the reasons/purpose behind my many flaws, which are all very quickly allowing me to change my life for the better in ways I truly never, ever thought possible. It’s like 10 years of therapy in a few short months. 

It’s truly magic, something as close to divine as I've ever experienced and I just wanted to so sincerely thank you for your amazing guidance, especially your belief and integrity given without that, I have major doubts I’d ever believe in this. 

XXXXX is doing much better but she hasn’t experienced the tsunami I have yet, she’s getting close and sleeping far better than before. Just a matter of time before her Hoover Dam explodes with the same personal growth I have experienced. 

Needless to say, if you ever come across any doubters and need to give a reference, don’t even bother asking me to do it - just give them my email and have them contact me. 

Thank you again for sharing the magic. 

All my best,”
