Small Bodies, Big Hearts

At Chanel Chere Neurotherapy, I strive to make the LENS experience as safe and soothing as possible for the little ones who come through my door.

I have curated an experience that promotes a calm nervous system through play, sensory, and choice before, throughout, and following their treatment. 

“You grow through what

you go through”

  • Information on LENS and littles:

    Brainwave Regulation: LENS Neurofeedback helps regulate abnormal brainwave patterns that can contribute to various behavioural and emotional issues in children. By detraining these patterns, LENS can help reduce symptoms of conditions like ADHD, anxiety and trauma. LENS Neurofeedback is safe for littles as young as six months.

    Reduced Anxiety and Stress: LENS Neurofeedback can help children manage anxiety and stress more effectively, providing them with tools to face life’s challenges.

    Improved Focus and Attention: For children with ADHD or attention difficulties, LENS therapy can enhance their ability to concentrate and stay on task.

    Better Emotional Regulation: LENS can support children in regulating their emotions, reducing mood swings and outbursts.

    Enhanced Cognitive Abilities: Many children experience improvements in memory, problem-solving, and overall cognitive function.

  • How I can help calm your littles brain and body before their LENS session:

    Bouncing on the trampoline and or balancing on a balance board (The rhythmic bouncing motion stimulates the release of tension in the body, allowing individuals to physically and mentally unwind)

    Building with magnetic tiles and sensory rocks

    Practicing their best drumming skills (Engaging in rhythmic drumming can activate the body's relaxation response, leading to a sense of calm and well-being)

    Relaxing with a book in the rocking chair

    Colouring their favourite Disney Character

    Picking out their favourite fidget toy (Fidget toys can help with stress by providing a tactile outlet for nervous energy, promoting sensory focus, and serving as a distraction from anxiety-provoking thoughts, ultimately leading to relaxation and improved focus)

    Having a cold drink of water or juice box

  • Key points to share with your little before their first lens session:

    Chanel will help hook you up to a machine with pads. These pads are sticky like a tree frogs toes!

    Chanel will never make you do something that doesn't feel safe for you. She will check in with you throughout your time with her to make sure you are feeling safe and comfortable.

    Chanel loves when kids have questions and will always do her best to answer what you might be curious about.

    Chanel will let you choose where you would like to have your session and whether you would like to sit, or lay down on her cozy couch.

    Chanel wants you to know that brain therapy does not hurt. 

    Chanel wants you to know that she works with lots of different kids, for lots of different reasons.

    Chanel wants you to know you can choose to have your time with her alone, or with your safe person.
