Dr. Ilani founded a neurofeedback treatment program for Marines who returned from Afghanistan or Iraq with either brain injuries (mTBI) and/or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Neurofeedback is the process of retraining brain function to work more optimally and efficiently. The brain is observed in action in real time, and the results are shared with the individual. Neurofeedback training directly and immediately rewards the brain for changing its own activity to more appropriate patterns.

Dr. Ilani developed an interest in neurofeedback training in the 1980’s out of her great passion to understand the brain. She was certified as a Neurofeedback Specialist in the Othmer Method and technology initially in 1997 and subsequently received more advanced training with multiple certifications, as well as being trained by Dr. Amen in Brain Science Matters in Mental Health in 2003. She also audited one year of a UCLA post doctorate program in neuropsychology.

Dr. Ilani integrates her neurofeedback insights through her coaching, training, and all her transformational work.
