What is Brain-Based Therapy?
Brainspotting is performed by a licensed professional & assists to hone in on a brainspot that is an emotional, calm, or spiritual area. Through the process, you are guided to unwind, release, & expand. Upon completion, your brain relays new synaptic connections & opens up to new alignment.
My own journey with Brainspotting has assisted me to release what no longer serves me, create pivotal perceptual shifts, & expand my mind & life exponentially. It is freeing to be walking a life of Clarity, to feel safe & grounded, & to witness my own Expansive thinking.
Discovered by Dr. David Grand, this powerful, personal, & focused method assists to identify, process, & release core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, & blocks that may be hindering a person’s daily function. The method also allows to bring in calm, enhance intuition, & expand the synaptic brain connections. With Brainspotting, it is possible to emerge into new states of being & creation/ manifestation of your Life Path.


With Dr. David Grand
I witnessed as my brainspotting clients not only were Healing, but also Expanding into other states of consciousness.
During Mediumship sessions, clients were seeing their Loved Ones from Spirit.
During Medical Intuitive sessions, clients were experiencing & feeling their own body’s organs & systems were shifting.
During Spiritual Advising sessions, clients’ Spiritual gifts began Heightening exponentially.
Brainspotting utilizes the visual system to find relevant eye positions which are seen as “access points” to locate the necessary information to be released or focused upon. Based on the idea that “where you look affects how you feel,” Brainspotting can release unconscious beliefs about yourself that may be holding you back.
This technique is highly effective & promotes rapid healing as it bypasses the “thinking” & analyzing area of the neocortex. Because it is difficult to heal while analyzing, traumatic events can be processed more effectively as we move past the neocortex to the subcortical part of the brain. The subcortical is a more primitive part of our brains & houses sensations, emotions, colors, memories, & Spirituality.
The subcortical is at the brainstem & therefore sends sensations into the body, allowing for Brainspotting to elicit a definite brain-body connection. Therefore, Brainspotting is known as a somatic approach as we focus on the body’s sensations in combination with the brain healing. With this understanding, illnesses, symptomology, & pain can be processed & released during Brainspotting sessions.
The Brain is miraculous & houses millions of synaptic connections. There are more synaptic connections in our Brain than there are galaxies. Because there are so many synaptic connections, we can re-route & bypass maladaptive neural pathways effectively. With my own experiences, stuck memories have been released & neural pathways have re-routed.
Important aspects of Brainspotting sessions are Relational & Neurobiology Attunement. Within a session, the clinician witnesses your journey, allowing for you to deeply process what is necessary to heal & expand. As a clinician & client are in relational attunement, they are sharing neurobiology. This allows for the client to “share” the clinician’s self-regulation, intuition, & other important healing aspects. Often as a Spiritual teacher, I say, “We are exchanging gifts.” In fact, we are sharing neurobiology.

During a typical Brainspotting session, the client chooses a topic to work on. Topics can include a current circumstance, a body sensation or pain, emotional release, to enhance performance, improve Spiritual gifts, feel the presence of a Loved One in Spirit, Manifestation, or improve state of being. In order to access this, the clinician assists the client to locate the Brainspot. There is also an option to utilize Biolateral Music to further assist the healing. Following this, the client is able to process this spot in order to release what is no longer necessary & allow for increased understanding & healing.
The Brain knows what to do & how to heal. During the Brainspotting experience, it is important to recognize that the subcortical may not have words for what you are experiencing. This is why we remain “curious” & per Dr. Grand’s quote, we “follow the tail of the comet.” Through the process, we allow the brain to go where it needs to go & to trust what the brain needs to do.

Following a Brainspotting session, the brain will continue Healing & re-routing neural pathways. Clients may feel cloudy, sleepy, or euphoric after a session. Through this, the brain is healing, releasing, & creating new synaptic connections. Following the initial healing, ultimately, the brain shifts to allow more Clarity, increased logic & wisdom, perceptual shifts, & Expanded thinking.
It has been an incredible journey to witness healing & expansion through Brainspotting. This amazing healing modality has shifted & aligned myself & my clients. I would love to witness your healing & expansion.
Heather's Brainspotting Journey
Brainspotting has changed my life... & my mind. I found Brainspotting after enduring a rough transition.
Sometimes in transitions we are in the Fight or Flight Sympathetic Nervous system for a long time. We may ride on adrenaline for awhile, but after too long, our body shuts down. This is what happened to me. I needed someone to assist me to regulate, to come back to the present moment & to Heal.
As the Healing occurred, my mind cleared, my hope came back, & I began expanding in ways I never could have imagined.
Through my own work with Brainspotting, the healing, clarity & expansion have been life-changing. Brainspotting has supported me through transitions, past concussion work, my own medical anomalies & incorporating techniques from Brainspotting Couples Co-regulating into my marriage.
I know that as I expand in my Brainspotting training, my clients directly benefit. My Brainspotting journey includes Phases 1-4, Expansion Brainspotting, Clearing Limbic Countertransference, Generational Brainspotting, Freeze to Thaw Brainspotting, Brainspotting & Parts work, Brainspotting Couples Co-regulating, Brainspotting with Intersectionality & Social Justice, Brain Education, & assisting with countless Brainspotting trainings.
In order to further my Brainspotting expertise, I went through the rigorous track of getting Certified. After 100s of Brainspotting sessions & hours of Consultation, in 2020 I became a Certified Brainspotting Therapist. Since then, I have been recertified & also continued with the track of Consultation. Through speciality trainings, intensives, & an intense Consultation in Training program, I have achieved Consultation status.
As I incorporate these new trainings, I witness as my clients not only Heal, but also Expand into other states of consciousness. During Mediumship sessions, clients witness their Loved Ones from Spirit. During Medical Intuitive sessions, clients experience & feel their own body’s organs & systems shifting. During Spiritual Advising sessions, clients’ Spiritual gifts heighten exponentially.
All of this, simply by using our own Brain to Heal. Through Brainspotting & the Relational Attunement process, neural pathways reroute themselves & our Minds Expand.
Any questions? I would love to serve you.
