Customer highlight: Evelyn Gollwitzer's occupational therapy and neurofeedback practice
Evelyn Gollwitzer's occupational therapy and neurofeedback practice in Erlangen offers a wide range of therapies for children and adults. Since 2019, the occupational therapist has been working independently, drawing on her many years of experience, empathy, and a clear goal: to improve her clients' quality of life in the long term.She treats children with developmental disorders, especially ADHD, as well as adults with orthopedic, neurological, or mental illnesses. This includes clients suffering from pain, people who have had a stroke or have multiple sclerosis, people with dementia, and clients with depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Neurofeedback as an effective supplement
Evelyn Gollwitzer has been successfully using neurofeedback in her therapeutic work since 2015. She mainly works with the ILF method according to Othmer and combines it with frequency band training such as alpha-theta or SMR training, depending on the objective. “Neurofeedback promotes self-regulation, allowing classic approaches to be more effective. The effects are immediately noticeable, and the best thing is that clients don't have to do anything. All they have to do is watch their brain activity,” explains Evelyn Gollwitzer.
Neurofeedback for all ages
In practice, neurofeedback is offered for all age groups, from toddlers to seniors. Many clients report better sleep, greater serenity, and increased relaxation in everyday life. They provide feedback on their state of mind and fill out a diary in which they evaluate their main symptoms using individual, positively worded sentences. This allows progress to be observed in a targeted manner and the therapeutic approach to be optimally adjusted. “This daily reflection not only makes changes visible, but also provides inspiration for everyday life - such as more breaks or consciously planned family time,” explains Evelyn Gollwitzer.
Success stories from practice
For Evelyn Gollwitzer, every client is unique with their own story. Particularly impressive is the case of a client who suffered from severe irritable bowel syndrome and was greatly restricted as a result. Her fears meant that she was barely able to leave her house. “Today, she goes on vacation again, relaxed and with confidence in her body,” says Evelyn Gollwitzer. This example demonstrates the success and profound effect of neurofeedback. The therapy helps clients access their own feelings and release inner blockages.
Proven collaboration with BEE Medic
Evelyn Gollwitzer has been using BEE Medic systems since she began her neurofeedback work. "Before I started with neurofeedback, I thought it was only for tech-savvy people. Fortunately, that was a false assumption. The devices are intuitive to use and also ideal for someone like me who is technically illiterate," she says with a smile.
The variety of animations is a big advantage for Evelyn Gollwitzer. Some clients prefer colorful options such as Innertube, while others appreciate quieter variants such as Aurora from Dreamscapes. Children like to use Arcade or watch movies. Evelyn Gollwitzer also finds the combination with biofeedback sensors enriching. “This allows clients to see how thoughts are reflected positively or negatively in their stress levels in their bodies. This is often very impressive.”
