Today we’d like to introduce you to Dale & Lee Ann Foster.
Dale & Lee Ann, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Dr. Dale Foster’s younger brother, Dean, had Cerebral Palsy and Dale knew that despite his struggling body, Dean was full of love and good humor. This special relationship drew Dale to study the connection between the brain and body. With a passion to help people optimize the full potential of their brain,
Dale became a Clinical Neuropsychologist with the highest levels of certification in QEEG brain mapping, Neurofeedback and Neurostimulation, and training in Frequency Specific Microcurrent.
He has been offering these types of services for over 30 years in the Memphis area. These modalities safely and effectively retrain the brain’s habits for things as severe as traumatic brain injury, stroke recovery, and seizures, to anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, migraines, mood dysregulation, and even peak performance training. More sports organizations are starting to take advantage of these tools to enhance performance.
Lee Ann Foster, MS, LMT experienced chronic childhood loss, trauma and violence. While she found some resolution in talk therapy, what brought deeper healing and transformation was using the highly personalized physiological and somatic interventions offered in their practice. The modalities used at NeuroSource help the brain and body experience states of trust and calm so that one can learn what those feel like and learn how to access those states and make them more habitual than the states of fight, flight and freeze that helped one survive childhood trauma, but are no longer serving you in your current life.
Lee Ann has a Master’s Degree in Psychology, a certificate in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, a certificate in Epigenetic Wellness Coaching, a Certified HeartMath resilience coach, and is a Licensed Massage Therapist offering Craniosacral work, Headache and TMJ massage, and Therapeutic Massage for nervous system regulation as well as pain related issues.
Dale and Lee Ann feel immensely blessed to be able to work together to help people become more independently healthy and whole. They are passionate about the truth that the human body has immense capacity to self heal when given the most personalized, safe and effective support. People can learn self regulation skills that help them become more resilient to stress, less triggered by deeply engrained and oftentimes unconscious trauma triggers, and more creative problem solvers. Our world will be a much healthier place when more people learn to hone self regulation and self optimization skills.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has been quite a challenge growing this practice because people do not understand what we do. Bessel van der Kolk’s book The Body Keeps the Score discusses the efficacy of Neurofeedback for PTSD and has helped raise awareness. Dr. Daniel Amen has also helped people understand this as an effective drug-free alternative for many psychiatric conditions.
Not all Neurotherapy and Neurofeedback is equal. Not every practitioner is an expert in QEEG brainmap interpretation like Dr. Foster and not every neurofeedback provider uses the evidence based, highly personalized technologies that he uses. So, if one is considering neurotherapy they need to interview the practitioner to make sure they are using a well done and expertly interpreted brain map and that they are certified through the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance, have ample experience and a good track record of success.
What has grown our practice? Over 3 decades worth of success with clients who continue to spread the word – it’s mostly been word of mouth. But in the past few years more people are learning about brainmapping, neurofeedback and neurostimulation through podcasts and social media.
We always do free phone consultations to determine if we are a good fit for each person’s situation. We want to be as certain as is possible that we can truly help someone before we accept them as a client.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
We offer QEEG Brainmapping, QEEG Guided Neurofeedback & Neurostimulation, Some Cognitive and Personality Testing, Frequency Specific Microcurrent for nervous system regulation and pain relief, Epigenetic Wellness Coaching, Craniosacral Therapy, Headache, TMJ, and Therapeutic Massage, Nervous System Regulation Coaching, Talk therapy, and Floatation Therapy.
In an era where America spends more money than any other industrialized nation on “health care” and yet still has the highest and increasing rates of chronic disease, we are proud of how the modalities we practice help people train their brains and nervous systems to self-regulate, thereby laying the foundation for the body to self-heal as it was created to do.
As the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza and the University of California Medical School at San Diego are showing with amazing scientific precision, the human body is capable of healing itself of most anything if people are taught how to regulate their brains and nervous systems. For the love of all that is Holy, please watch the documentary, “Source: It’s Within You” about the research being done by Dispenza and UC San Diego. You will be amazed at how much sovereignty and empowerment is available to humans when they learn how to optimally drive this earthsuit with its complex history and the increasingly toxic environments we create that impact our well-being.
We delight in partnering with people on their journey to self-regulate, and ultimately, self-optimize. The precise and personalized tools we use help people understand themselves better, and learn how to be in their earth suits in a way that is more enjoyable. We get to watch people overcome limitations and do what they need and want to do with more ease and effectiveness.
It’s awesome to watch people become life-long learners, first and foremost learning about themselves. Life can be an adventure when we realize the learning journey is the most important and exciting thing. Learning who we are, how to be the best we can be, how to contribute to the betterment of those we’re around and the whole world. It’s not selfish to put yourself first when the benefits of doing so help you serve the world in increasingly creative ways.
.
When people are self regulated and optimized, they can get out of fight/flight/freeze and their brains can be about creating healthy solutions for our world’s challenges – solutions that are good for all humans, animals and our Earth.
In the 36 years Dr. Foster has been at this cutting edge work we have watched thousands of children and adults overcome their challenges, become more self-directed, and much happier, more loving and generative.
When people are free to be who they came to the planet to be, the whole world gets better. That is work worth investing in.
What matters most to you? Why?
Helping people overcome the obstacles that prevent them from being their best, unique selves is vitally important to us.
We believe every being is a unique expression of God and is here for beautiful, creative and loving purposes.
We love being able to play a part in helping people become independently healthy so they can contribute their unique brilliance to our planet and make it a better place for us all.
