My Personal Journey with IASIS MCN

At the age of 3, I took my first airplane ride. My family moved from California to South America. I don’t remember a lot from that first flight — the little dress I wore, the excitement, and getting air sickness. But since that initial flight, I have lived in 8 different countries, had over 19 different homes, and traveled extensively across 5 different continents. Needless to say, I love to travel. I love airports, people watching, the excitement, the new adventures they lead to.

So last year when I started having anxiety attacks that eventually led to me being unable to even get to the airport, I knew I needed help.

I started with my usual aids: medication (SSRIs), meditation, Tapping and breathing exercises, etc. Nothing worked. The anxiety attacks were literally taking over my life. I was afraid to leave the house alone, in case I had an attack while I was out. The cause, frequency, and duration were so random, I really didn’t know what to expect or when to expect it. I constantly had a knot in my stomach.

Then I was introduced to IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback (IASIS MCN) — a gentle, noninvasive technology that supports the brain’s ability to reset and heal. After my first treatment, my daily stomachache was gone. For my first two months of sessions, I just focused on my personal results. The anxiety attacks decreased in frequency and duration and eventually went away completely. If I started feeling nervous, my old methods of Tapping and breathing began working again, allowing me to start living my life again. Within two months, I was flying again to see family with no problems.

What I also noticed during these IASIS MCN sessions were other changes. My sleep improved, my thoughts became clearer, and I experienced a calmness I hadn’t felt in years. It was like my brain could finally take a deep breath. I truly felt like my brain had reset and I was becoming my old self again. And as my old self, I could let my passion out again — and this time, it was about sharing this incredible tool that truly changed my life.

As a nurse and later as a teacher, I’ve always been drawn to helping people. During my nursing career in the maternal-child field, I worked with patients and families who were dealing with levels of stress that affected them in so many ways…it seemed insurmountable. Later, while teaching nursing at the college level, I watched students and faculty carry heavy loads of stress every single day. And most recently, as an international primary school teacher moving across different countries, I saw the same story play out in classrooms and communities around the world.

Stress doesn’t discriminate — it impacts all of us, no matter our age, culture, or life circumstance.

That’s why my experience with IASIS MCN felt like more than just personal healing. It was a reminder that our brains — and our nervous systems — are often carrying more than we realize. And with the right support, they can find their balance again.

What surprised me most was not just the relief of my anxiety, but the ripple effect. Clearer thinking. Deeper sleep. A sense of calm that felt brand new, but also like coming home to myself. It wasn’t just about fixing a problem; it was about uncovering potential I didn’t know was still inside me.

That’s when I knew I wanted to share this tool with others. My journey has always been about caring for people — first in hospitals, then in classrooms — and now through Galenoia Brain Wellness. Here, I bring together my background in nursing, my love of teaching, and the science of neurofeedback to help others find their calm, their clarity, and their best selves.

Maybe for you, the struggle isn’t airports and anxiety. Maybe it’s sleepless nights, constant stress, or just a fog that won’t lift. Whatever it is, I want you to know there’s hope. IASIS MCN isn’t about forcing change — it’s about giving your brain the chance to reset and do what it was designed to do: help you thrive. My hope is that my story encourages you to believe that change is possible — and that you don’t have to live stuck in survival mode.
