Reset your brain, and then you’ll regain your life

CARLSBAD — If your brain could take a look in the mirror, what would it see? For many of us, it would be stress. “Our brains get stuck in a stress state,” Donna Johnson, owner of Cereset Carlsbad, said. “Our fascinating brains do everything so well, but they don’t realize when they are stuck.” Stress affects us in areas that are vital to our overall well-being. Cereset helps your brain reset itself, restoring your brain’s rhythm naturally, enabling it to manage stress more effectively. 

The process begins with an evaluation, which includes a baseline measurement of your brainwave frequencies.  Before sessions start, clients rate specific areas, including energy, mood, sleep, ability to cope with stress, and cognitive abilities. “After completing the sessions, we have clients rate these areas again, and typically see life-changing improvements!” she added.

Although it’s highly scientific, the process is simple. “We measure brainwaves through sensors on the scalp, and they are converted to digital engineered tones played back to the client through ear buds,” Donna said. “The brain can then see the imbalances and the lobes start to communicate better. Sessions take place in a zero-gravity chair and clients find it highly relaxing.”

For Donna and her husband, Keith, the decision to open a Cereset in North County was personal. “We got involved through a son who was dealing with a lot of difficulties after several concussions,” she said. “He was greatly affected by the time he was in his 30s. He was depressed and couldn’t think clearly. I heard about Cereset and he had a series of sessions. The light came back in his eyes. He had hope for the future again.”

A similar situation arose with the Johnsons’ grandson, David. “He had suddenly become nearly bedridden after a concussion six months earlier,” Donna said. “If he tried to stand up his heart would race and his blood pressure would drop. He was constantly nauseous and couldn’t keep food down. His mother took him to nearly every doctor in the county but could not get any answers. After his first Cereset session, he was able to sleep and regained his appetite. After completing sessions, he went on an all-day hike with his friends and has been on the go ever since!”

A series of sessions includes four close-together visits. “With these sessions, the brain starts making new pathways that enable better communication in the different lobes of the brain. Over the following three weeks, the client’s brain will continue working on making these new pathways stronger,” Donna said.

Following the series, clients continue with daily in-home unit sessions using a headband that take just a few minutes. Gradually the in-home sessions can be decreased to a few times a month. “It is so rewarding to be able to help people,” Keith said.
