There are ways to do neurofeedback remotely to avoid coming into an office for training, but it is quite a challenge, and most practitioners have shied away from it, even during the pandemic.

At the same time, the need for neurofeedback is now greater than ever, making it vital to provide safe spaces in which to offer neurofeedback.

My response has been to sanitize all surfaces in between clients, to limit the number of people in the office, and to provide time in between clients.  However, the most important tool I use to ensure that my office is safe is air purification and ventilation.

Since last May, I have used top-notch air purifiers in my office.  The purifiers in my two training rooms are, respectively, seven and three times larger than necessary so that air is cycled through the purifiers every few minutes rather than every hour. I also have air purifiers in the waiting room and corridor. I also open windows between clients when the weather allows it, but that honestly has only been for a few minutes at a time, and I don’t know the math involved regarding how long to keep windows open. What I DO know is that I have over-engineered a solution to my air quality concerns.

Alen is the brand of air purifier I have chosen to use to help me keep my clients as safe as I can. I chose them not only for the quality of their product, but because they share information in non-fear-mongering ways (They don’t know I’m writing this, and there’s no affiliate link or other income for me here. I’m just satisfied with their products.).  Their latest COVID-related blog post explains the science of air exchange.  Even if you’re not interested in neurofeedback, their information is good for home use, too.  Read it here:  https://alen.com/blogs/articles/why-ventilation-filtration-are-the-keys-to-combating-covid?utm_campaign=CAM0121_Combating_%20COVID_em1%20%28UM4z8c%29&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Klaviyo&_ke=eyJrbF9jb21wYW55X2lkIjogIlAyS3pxdyIsICJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJ0c2ltaW5vd0Bob3RtYWlsLmNvbSJ9
