Testimonials

Before I began sessions with Michael I was truly struggling with getting to sleep and then maintaining it, once morning arrived I then struggled to get up as my energy was already depleted.

Through my Neurofeedback appointments with MIchael and following his instructions, I now find myself getting deeper more fulfilling sleep, I feel energised throughout the day and my productivity has finally begun to restore to its best.

Michael has been a gamechanger and I couldn’t recommend him anymore!!

I want to give an update on my progress and highlight the incredible advice and support Michael has given me since I started the program 7 weeks ago.

The trajectory of improvement with my sleep, energy and overall wellbeing has been incredible. Yes , it does take time and you have to be disciplined and consistent and take the drops and supplements, tips on what to do before bed etc.. as advised by Michael.

But.. wow ! I am now getting a minimum of 7, 7.5 hrs quality sleep without interruption and no anxiety before bed. Probably for the first time in over 20 years. Thanks Michael again for all your expertise.

Before my sessions with Michael, I was a terrible sleeper, it would take forever to get some sleep (often needing some background noise) and when I did get to sleep, I was waking every 45 mins or so.

From the first session, I noticed something changed and by the third session I was falling asleep unaided and sleeping through the night. I would recommend Michael to anybody who has difficulty sleeping or staying asleep.

I was struggling to get sleep due to many factors but one in particular was that I was going through the menopause. I had tried a lot of teas/tablets/practises etc. but nothing really worked long term and my quality of sleep poor.
(We also have a history of Dementia and Alzheimer’s in our family and I wanted to do something now to help myself and my future health.)

I wasn’t fully aware of it at the time but now on hindsight I can see my lack of sleep affected my mood, my ability to think clearly and to work, my capacity (or lack of it) to deal with everyday life and challenges that arose on a day to day basis. I was nervous about starting the programme – I felt it was a lot to spend without knowing if it would really work for me.

As the programme progressed I began to notice changes in myself. I became much calmer, more able to cope with life, I was less reactive, able to fall asleep easily and the best part – I stayed asleep throughout the night.
Now I am no longer affected by hot flushes either and feel I am a much better version of myself!

Michael also recommended supplements to me through the programme and these have really helped to boost my overall health.

Thank you Michael, I am so grateful to you! I feel completely different – and I am so thankful I took the leap of faith, invested in myself and my sleep. It was totally worth it!

I had been suffering long term insomnia for over 13 years. There would be two nights a week where I would get zero hours of sleep and the other nights somewhere between two and four hours.

I had tried everything for relief i.e sleep studies, sleeping tablets, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, reflexology etc all with no success.

Since the commencement of my journey with Michael I am now consistently getting between 6-8 hours of good quality sleep which has rejuvenated my energy levels and quality of life.

I would strongly recommend this to anyone suffering as I was as I had tried every treatment out there and only Michael’s brought me relief. Great setting and Michael is a thorough gentleman and professional who is a great support throughout the journey.

When I started the programme, my sleep was at an all time low. I was getting 4-5 hrs per night at best. After just a few weeks on the programme, my sleep improved dramatically by sticking to the sleep routine.

Michael was very professional and helpful all the way through. I would recommend it to anyone with sleep issues

Neurofeedback with Michael has changed my life. When I met him in August, I could barely work and had extreme difficulty sleeping.

After a few sessions I was able to sleep without medication and get a good job. I fell ill with the flu and briefly went back to where I had started with him, after a few sessions I was back to functioning well.

I am so thankful for this therapy.

The Neurofeedback therapy helped improve my overall mental clarity and focus, as well as helping me have a more consistent sleep pattern.

My quality of sleep also improved helping me to wake up rejuvenated each morning.

Michael was very helpful every time we went to him and would highly recommend to anyone looking to make similar life improvements as I did through these sessions

I started Neurofeedback with Michael in June. I had chronic migraines, fatigue, anxiety and sleep issues. I now no longer have chronic migraines, I am less tired and far more resilient. My anxiety has greatly reduced and my sleep has improved. I would highly recommend Neurofeedback with Michael to others.

I rented a Neuroptimal Neurofeedback system from Michael for a month and a week.

Very quickly, in 4 sessions, I regained quality sleep, reduced my stress and improved my quality of life. Michael knows what he is talking about, he is one of the few in Ireland to offer the Neuroptimal Neurofeedback system.
Thanks !

My son, out of the blue, last August,  developed what I would describe as severe anxiety.  His symptoms were both physical and non- physical to include crying, shaking, not eating, refusal to leave my side, feeling of wanting to vomiting to name but a few.

I would have to sit by his side every night for an hour or more  when he went to bed and tried to help him with breathing exercises and trying to put comforting thoughts into his head and in the mornings he would come into my bedroom at anytime between 5am and 6am and his first words to me were “ I’m nervous mom”.  Again, I would spend the morning reassuring him and trying to help him cope.

His anxiety was school related so you can imagine, five days of the week plus the Sunday, revolved around my son showing and expressing signs of anxiety in anticipation of the Monday. When I brought him to school in the car, he would scream and jump into the back of the car refusing to get out. He would shake and goosebumps would appear on his skin. He would cry uncontrollably. I cried, my poor little guy was going through something that I couldn’t solve. 

To say this was a terribly difficult time for not only my son but the whole family, would be an understatement. My daughter would ask “what’s wrong with him” and I had no answer for her. I didn’t know. My son didn’t know. We had no answers.

I reached out to a forum with other moms and asked for advice. I was desperate and wanted advice so badly.

Many moms recommended Michael from Mindbodied. I rang Michael and have never looked back since that day. Even writing this I am so grateful and relieved for Michael and his amazing work.

From the first appointment, Michael gave me hope. I left that appointment with the first glimmer of solving my sons anxiety and the relief was amazing.

We had 10 appointments with Michael and every week I would see a change in my son. From eating breakfast to not fearing school to myself and my husband going away for a weekend and my son not showing any sign of concern that I wouldn’t be with him.

Today, my son is confident, happy, outgoing and he hasn’t experienced anxiety in months.

I cannot thank Michael enough and I cannot recommend him enough.

Having used the Neurofeedback brain training, I can highly recommend it. It is a true game changer.

We had the at home package for 2 months, helped my daughter’s anxiety hugely , she has found her voice where as before would have kept everything in.

I started my neurofeedback journey about a year ago when I started a leave of absence of work due to an ongoing illness. This along with a life long battle with anxiety and depression had my mental health worn down, I was burnt out and sleeping about 18 hours a day with no relief. Neurofeedback started me on a healing journey that has included becoming more comfortable in myself in public, along with figuring out how to speak to myself in a kinder way and I went from thinking “I can’t” all the time to “I can” which has freed me from a negative outlook on life. Now doing it regularly gives me time out of my week to reflect and tune in to myself, something I was never able to do constructively. Looking back on my year of Neurofeedback therapy and seeing the positive impact its had is so encouraging for me and I can’t recommend it enough. 🙂

I really appreciated the time and effort Michael took to show me how to use the machine and the support and care along the way.
Such a profound life changing journey.
The neurofeedback is very easy to use and the benefits are many, and they ripple into so many areas. To name just a few.
A sense of inner calm and contentment. Ability to make better choices. I really noticed situations that would have been Big triggers before simply weren’t, it was incredible to observe how upset and emotional I would have been before the neurofeedback in certain situations.
Very great full for this new lease of life.

For someone who has suffered from anxiety in their professional life, I have been doing neurofeedback now for over 20 sessions. Michael is great to work with, very knowledgeable, and has a kind ear.

Life changing experience working with Michael in Mindbodied. I have had several Neurofeedback sessions with him and I now feel incredibly calm, relaxed and in a good mood!

Brought my foster daughter to neurofeedback not knowing exactly what it was but was told it would benefit my foster daughter who is selective mute and didn’t show emotions and would freeze up a lot of the time.

The difference it has made to her confidence is absolutely amazing, she now reads in school, started dancing classes and hardly ever freezes up, she is like a different child and has started showing different emotions which is fantastic.

 I would 100% recommend neurofeedback it has worked wonders for my little girl and Michael is great to deal with.

I was new to brain training but honestly, it has really helped me in my process. Each session has been different for me… some weeks, I can feel the shift physically, other weeks my thought process is clearer or I get a really great night’s sleep for few days following session. The more sessions I do the better I am feeling in so many respects.

Michael is a kind and compassionate Therapist. He is easy to talk to and gives gentle tips or suggestions.

I would highly recommend brain training and Michael.

When I initially approached Michael at the end of August 2019, to enquire if his Neuroptimal Neurofeedback brain training system could help my daughter, I was quite desperate. For some years she had been struggling with crippling anxiety, difficulty sleeping and concentrating, combined with issues around eating.

Having completed 16 sessions with Michael, the changes we see in Suzy are phenomenal. She is sleeping and eating normally and her grades at school reflect her ability to settle and concentrate. She has a sense of purpose, enthusiasm and optimism for life. In short, we have our daughter back. I can’t thank Michael enough and I wish him well in helping others.

“I’ve been renting the Neuroptimal Neurofeedback system for the past three months and my severe anxiety around public speaking has improved significantly. This has been a huge benefit to me in my work. Michael has been extremely helpful and supportive during this process.”

I attended monthly online sessions with Michael. I resolved the following symptoms with my treatment..joint and muscle pain, Insomnia, bloating.

I highly recommend Michael as an expert you can rely on to figure out the essentials necessary to resolve your health problems.

Before beginning Neurofeedback I was experiencing substantial stress/anxiety. By chance I heard about Neurofeedback and it’s benefits. From the first conversation with Michael he was extremely friendly and informative. Despite this obviously I was still anxious about beginning treatment but immediately after my first session I felt slightly calmer and 100% knew this was going to be a life changing journey. 6 months later my stress/anxiety levels are better than they’ve ever been, my sleep in much improved and I am a much more positive, happy person.

I decided to give Neurofeedback a go, as I was very low in confidence and used to get extremely stressed about trivial everyday stuff. I did approximately 25 sessions with Micheal and found that my confidence and resilience improved noticeably from when I started. In my experience Neurofeedback is a useful tool in improving your mental health.

I have been suffering from Longcovid symptoms for over a year. My symptoms include insomnia, heightened anxiety and headaches.

I started the neurofeedback system a couple of months ago. While I was sceptical at first I now have no doubt that the system has reduced my symptoms. The treatment itself is an extremely relaxing experience lasting 33 minutes and the positive effects of the treatment build up over time. I first noticed that my headaches had reduced in intensity and frequency. With time my sleep has improved.

The Neurofeedback system is an integral part of my recovery path.

My son JP was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome along with ADHD and ADD. JP was struggling with his emotions, his social activity and mostly his behaviour. Every day was like walking on egg shells wondering what would trigger JP, where he would physically lash out at me, other people or objects. He broke 3 televisions in the space of 6 months whilst having a meltdown.

I used to describe this as JP in the red mist, it was when he couldn’t control his actions and it was not only scary for me but very scary for JP.

Since attending sessions with Michael, the red mist has faded. JP is able to discuss how he is feeling and rather than lash out he calms himself down. He is able to attend a full day at school which until meeting Michael he was only doing 2 hours of a full day in senior infants.

JP has made friends and his focus in school had meant that he is now integrating from his ASD unit to mainstream class for a certain length of the day and from September on he has been given the probability of being in mainstream full time.

I don’t believe this would have been achieved in such a short period of time had JP not attended his sessions with Micheal. I have my loving boy back and that alone is worth more to me than anything.

We have been using Neurofeedback with Michael at Mindbodied for a about 7 months now. We rented a home machine and also attend sessions in clinic. I myself found it greatly helped my sleep, now sleeping so much better than ever & also helped me to gain great clarity on my life. For my children, we are using neurofeedback mainly for high anxiety levels related to being on the autism spectrum.

Neurofeedback has really helped to reduce their anxiety, given them clarity in their behaviours and hugely helped their executive planning skills. We would highly recommend neurofeedback with Michael.

Hi Michael, just a quick few lines to thank you for your help with my pains and aches. I feel great since I finished our sessions. A vast improvement in the quality of my life. I am able to do things I haven’t for years and thank you for being so professional, yet welcoming and friendly and understanding.

I would and do recommend you to anyone.

Since I started my Kinesiology sessions I noticed a lot of improvement in my physical and mental health. I started 6 months ago and I feel so much healthier and aware of what’s going on with my body.

A lovely person to talk to, he will make you feel 100% comfortable and relaxed whatever problem you’re dealing with.

I attended the Mindbodied Clinic for Sinus issues. Michael used both Kinesiology and NES Health Bioenergetics programme to help with the Sinus issues. The results are my Sinuses have vastly improved and my overall health has improved tremendously. My mental clarity has also vastly improved.

I would highly recommend Michael as he is both forward-thinking and very professional. He is also genuinely interested in helping the client to achieve excellent health.

On 22nd Feb 2017 I had a fall off my bicycle. I sustained a head injury (swelling on the left-hand side of the brain) and a severe concussion. I had a loss of consciousness for 5-6 hours. As a result of my injuries, I suffered from Post-Concussion Syndrome that had a lot of side effects that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy!

Side effects are:

Physical symptoms:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• A feeling of sickness.
• Double or blurred vision.            

Emotional and behavioural symptoms:

• Being easily irritable and aggressive
• Feeling anxious easily
• Personality changes
• Having sudden out bursts of emotion

Problems with mental processing (called cognitive symptoms):

• Difficulty in remembering things

All of the above I have suffered from. My main problem I had was memory loss which bought on my anxiety that I could not deal with! For example:  I could not remember a persons name that I would be working with or my neighbour that I know very well? I would be talking to that person face to face and not know their name. 

So I started challenging  myself by trying to remember things from years ago which made me a lot worse, so I had a lot of anxiety and panic attacks brought on by all of this. I  went to the doctor and he informed me that I was suffering from Post-concussion syndrome and that it is common with my head injury. He gave me Xanax tablets which was only helping me relax for a while and not helping my long term recovery and I did not want to go on anti-depression tablets.

I knew that I would get through this, but it would take a lot of time and patience, and I didn’t have any!

I went to see Michael. He put me through a course of Kinesiology and Neurofeedback Brain training sessions as part of the Mindbodied programme. Even after the first Kinesiology session I felt a little calmer when my memory failed me, but I knew still I had a long way to go. I went twice a week to Michael both for Kinesiology and Neurofeedback Brain training, and after at least 5 weeks I was feeling a lot better. I am now 6 months on and able to cope with my short term memory loss, and I do not suffer from anxiety anymore.

Highly recommend neurofeedback by Alison.

I’ve suffered since I was a child with panic attacks, hypervigilance, the most terrifying nightmares, anxiety, and PTSD.  These are just a few of the symptoms I was experiencing. I spent almost 7 years trying to get help through traditional talk therapy and holistic treatments, leaving me feeling hopeless. I had accepted that I would have to deal with this for the rest of my life – that I would have to battle it forever and try to protect my loved ones from it until Alison introduced me to neurofeedback.

In a few months of this non-invasive treatment, I feel like a new person! It’s been a year since I first started neurofeedback and I have not had a single panic attack, I sleep much better I look at the world differently now. I am able to keep my emotions under control, learn new skills and handle stress better than ever before. Everyone around me has noticed a difference whether or not they knew about my struggles. Quite frankly, it’s the best thing I could have done for myself and I am so excited. 

It is such a gift to be free from all of those symptoms and to be relaxed and looking forward to life.

I am eternally grateful to Alison, who is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met.  She is a very kind, competent and knowledgeable therapist,  and is wholly committed to healing people.

We rented the NeurOptimal Neurofeedback system originally for two of our children who needed help with behavioural issues.  The whole family ended up using it and we really did have some great benefits.  We feel like it took the stress levels of the house down a few notches. 

Personally I feel like it gave my brain a super power I never knew it had, in practical terms it feels like my brain just works better and I don’t perceive stressful events in the same way anyway.  Everything is just much smoother. We loved it and will get it again for a top-up!

Thanks to Michael for all his help and guidance, you couldn’t ask for a nicer guy. 

At the end of May 2020,the mental anguish I had been suffering as a result of Covid- 19 engulfed my whole body.I ended up having a mini-stroke. Following my release from hospital the anxiety I felt manifested itself in numerous ways -couldn’t sleep, couldn’t concentrate, couldn’t cook a meal, driving became impossible. I had an all-day brain fog-it was like I was run over by a train. I was suffering total burnout.

I tried a number of different treatments but to no avail-I was utterly frustrated. However, I continued to research for potential treatments and I came across Mindbodied and Michael Mulcahy……it was my lucky day.

I started with Michael in Nov.2020 and immediately immersed myself in the Mindbodied program. The combination of Neurofeedback, Kinesiology, Body Energy System scanning technology and Michael’s re-assuring personality, I found hugely beneficial.

I found myself improving significantly within 3 weeks and by Xmas I had virtually returned to normal-back driving, cooked the Xmas dinner and became a far more relaxed individual.

I found the whole experience invigorating and I will be forever grateful to Michael for his technical ability, emotional support and understanding.I continue to attend a session every three weeks.
