1. How do I get the most out of the Neuroplasticity in Action Course?

• PRACTICE is the most important tool for healing.
• You’ll get out what you put into the Neuroplasticity in Action course.
• Daily practice is necessary for improvement.
• One hour a day of practice (not necessarily all at one time, but cumulatively) is the sweet spot.

We also recommend

• reviewing the Rewiring Your Brain or Healing Through Neuroplasticity self-study course materials prior to each session.
• bringing your comments and questions to each session.
  
  

2. What if I am very ill and need someone to help me?

To assist severely affected people, you may nominate a carer to take the course with you (at no extra cost).

3. Can I book an appointment with Dr. Stein and pay her privately?

No, Dr. Eleanor Stein is fully retired from clinical care. She has put what she knows into her online courses and updates them as she learns more.

About Your Instructors
Catherine (Cat) and Karen

Cat / Neuroplasticity in Action Instructor

Catherine (Cat) was introduced to neuroplasticity by Dr. Stein after being diagnosed with severe multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS). Within a couple of weeks of practicing neuroplasticity, she started seeing improvements in her MCS and her mood. Cat then took Dr. Stein's pain course, now called Healing Through Neuroplasticity, to help her manage her migraines. Her migraines have virtually stopped.

In Cat's words, "Neuroplasticity is definitely the best thing I have ever done for myself. I now practice neuroplasticity every day, many times a day, in a variety of ways. Neuroplasticity is a way of life for me. I have noticed that the more I practice, the better I feel, and my symptoms are fewer and less severe. I am so happy that Dr. Stein is sharing her knowledge and helping so many people with their chronic conditions."

Karen / Neuroplasticity in Action Instructor

Karen has been using Dr. Stein’s neuroplasticity program since 2018. She is dedicated to self-management and neuroplasticity strategies to manage her condition. 

In Karen’s words, “My quality of life has dramatically improved. Self-management strategies helped me stabilize, and the neuroplasticity practices have drastically improved my pain levels, mood, and MCS. I have gone from 28 to 30 migraines a month down to 2 or 3 minor headaches a month, and my MCS and FM are negligible. I continue to improve with ongoing practice. Studying the science of neuroplasticity and sharing the techniques is a passion. It is my desire to inspire hope and assist others on their journey.”

Athina

"Dr. Stein's Neuroplasticity in Action group and community provided a process for rebuilding my life when it changed in unimaginable ways. A significant change is I have a shorter recuperation period following an exacerbation of symptoms. I am now able to recover fairly quickly with improved pacing in mind. Previously, recovery would require many days, and I am now able to return to my benchmark overnight. As a result, I can accomplish my objectives for community work by working within my restrictions and with increased flexibility and self-care."

Rubina

"From Anxiety to Excitement Near the start of the course, I reached out to Dr. Stein about the anxiety I had over starting to leave the house after being homebound for several years. With the help of this course and Ellie’s suggestion of the Remembering Process, I began to manage the anxiety and even started imagining the fun I could have when going out. One morning, while visualizing this, I felt spontaneous and free enough to visit my mom on a whim, which happened to be Mother’s Day. This marked an incredible shift from planning to action. Reflecting on these changes, I’m amazed at how much I’ve learned and grown in just three months."

Alison

"I have experienced an improvement in my energy levels since January. I have been able to gradually increase my steps from 3,000 to 6,000 daily."

Suzanne

"I used the neuroplasticity exercises to change my mind in difficult circumstances. The Building Hope segment gave me both hope for myself and my husband (who has cancer), but also more ways to convey hope to him and give him support as he fought through his complications. The group gave me new tools to achieve these goals."
