Louloua Smadi is a board certified neurofeedback practitioner with over six years of experience in the US, UK, France, and Lebanon, she specialises in helping people with special needs and other various brain challenges. Her passion for brain health and neurodiversity stems from her experience with her brother with autism and her own attention difficulties.

Questions asked during our conversation:

  • How would you describe the principles behind neurofeedback?

So super excited about connecting with you today and loads to talk to you about in your specialist field, but first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Louloua

(02:11):
Yeah. So I'm a practitioner in neurofeedback therapy and play therapy, currently in training. I am 28 years old. I have a son and a husband living between France and Lebanon. And basically, my story is that I have a brother with autism or four children, and he's completely shaped our lives. And one of the therapists who really helped him, her name is Dr. Lynette Louise. And she's the one who introduced us to neurofeedback and healing as a whole. And I just decided to follow her footsteps and get into this field. And I just published a book about this whole story. It's called From client to Clinician. And yeah, I work with primarily children with special needs. So any neurodiverse and brain challenges [crosstalk 00:03:04].
