She was prescribed by her Dr, Guanfacine, a type of medication, for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. However, she had side effects after taking in the morning which made her sleepy in class.

Improved Sleep and Well-being Testimonial

Case #4:
"Miss Amy is an absolutely amazing therapist, super patient, allowing me to rationalise all the negative emotions within me at every session.

Neurofeedback improved my circadian rhythm, enabling me to get deeper and better sleep. This also lead to increased ability to concentrate and retain information in class. Moreover, neurofeedback therapy also helped me cope with stress and anxiety from the daily stressors of life, allowing me to maintain an optimistic and energetic mindset towards life.

Apart from that, after attending about 12 sessions of neurofeedback therapy, certain attributes like time-management and self-discipline, which were lacking in the past, became more apparent, and enabled me to excel in my studies. From there, all my grades improved tremendously, especially for mathematics.

Highly recommended!!!

Fear of Cockroaches!!!

I have always been afraid of cockroaches but it became so serious in so much as a phobia and they started to appear in my dreams. This phobia became debilitating when my sleep was affected and fearful thoughts and worry started to intrude into my daily life. Whenever I went into my kitchen, I would imagine cockroach feelers sticking out of drawers and would start to scream and panic and feel incapacitated but to be reassured by family members that there were none.

I would start worrying about having to face these cockroaches when I am about to leave my office. As such, I decided to seek neurofeedback therapy for my stress and anxiety. During the therapy, I was informed that not only does neurofeedback treat my sleep and anxiety issues, but it also helps with phobias, and in my case, katsaridaphobia.

After a few sessions, my sleep started to improve but what I noticed was that I stopped worrying and thinking about cockroaches. Stepping into the kitchen did not elicit as much fear as it used to and even though I am still afraid of cockroaches, my fear was not as intense as before. I would not scream, panic and "freeze" and their sight but am able to pause and react by thinking of killing them instead.

Will definitely recommend neurofeedback therapy since it is effective and also affordable.

Dyslexia and Difficulty at Work

"I am 44 years old and suffer from hearing loss. I am also dyslexic and have difficulty at work as I am usually anxious finding difficulty in remembering words. After Neurofeedback therapy, I am able to focus at work, am more confident in reading and writing. After my second session of neurofeedback therapy, I could hear my neighbour talking to me. Compared to my past when I had a new hearing aid, I still could not hear a word when people talk and lost interest in listening. However, now after therapy, I could hear and I have bought a new headset and enjoy watching and listening to Youtube."

Review from Priscilla, Heng Le’s mum

January 2022

Ms. Amy Poon has been very patient with me and my son, Heng Le. Heng Le used to be a very quiet boy who doesn't speak in school and to strangers. Heng Le’s nursery teacher feedback that Heng Le has no reaction in class, rarely show his emotion of his likes and dislike.

We went through 20 sessions of neuro feedback with Ms. Amy, once a week for 45 mins.. after the first 8 to 10 sessions, Heng Le’s nursery teacher feedback that, Heng Le has some reaction in school now, smiling and happier. The teachers' feedback was that they see the difference in him. We also notice that, he tried to say ‘hello’ to our neighbor, walking to neighbor's children wanting to play with them. We are able to see Heng Le’s improvement gradually, especially on his confidence and he is able to express his likes and dislikes.

In addition, with the neurofeedback, it helps Heng Le to sleep better through the nights, lesser waking up and deeper sleep. Ms. Amy has also shared many parenting tips, and home coaching skills and techniques with me to guide Heng Le at home.

I am indeed very pleased with the neurofeedback result.

Thank you Ms. Amy for the patience and the constantly looking out for us.

Review from Trish Kee

January 2022

Neurofeedback with Amy has been amazing. My teenage age boy was diagnosed with multiple learning difficulties and was constantly anxious. He had benefited tremendously from each session. After the first session, he was like a different child. He was happier and calmer. Everyone at home saw the positive changes in him. As he progressed, he developed better self control and was soon able to perform tasks that used to cripple him and heighten his anxiety. We are now excited and hopeful of his future and can’t wait to see other transformations in him. I greatly appreciate Amy’s holistic approach towards healing. She offered many practical tips like the right supplements, exercise, etc, garnered through her many years of extensive experience. She is so passionate about her work and goes all out of her way to understand my son’s condition and challenges. As for me, through Neurofeedback, my long term insomnia was cured and I can finally sleep through the night. My heartfelt gratitude to you, Amy, for everything that you have done for us.

Review from Mic Ong

June, 2021

Amy is very patient and extremely experienced. I wished everyone took a step towards helping themselves instead of going to her as a last resort. I would definitely recommend Amy for her professional, honest and genuine approach to helping people through Neurofeedback. Not many people, myself included at the beginning have heard of Neurofeedback therapy and as a result, can be very resistant to this. I have seen this work wonders for me and people around me. Health is wealth, and for me, it starts from mental part first. Glad I was introduced to Amy.

Review from Henry Tan

I have seen Amy helped many children and adults in academic and peak performance. To get to know what neurofeedback therapy can do for you and your loved ones, I highly recommend you to her program. Book her talk!
