Meet Valerie Sheldon
Micro Current Neurofeedback Technician
Hi, I’m Valerie Sheldon, ICT! I’m a married mom of eight wonderful kids. I was born and raised in Southern California. I am passionate about making connections with people and helping others, especially with health issues.
​
I’ve experienced varying levels of anxiety for all of my adult life, but could always rely on my good memory to help me combat these challenges—until middle age, when I started having occasional loss of recall which led to increased anxiety. Throughout my life, I’ve tried many modalities of traditional and alternative medicines to improve my mental and physical health.
​
I was relieved to find that IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN) sessions significantly reduced my anxiety, to the degree that I was able to safely wean off of anxiety medications. It also notably improved my memory. As a result of my positive experience, I’m eager to share the hope and healing I found. So much so, that I became trained and certified as an MCN certified technician!

FAQs
Below are answers to a few frequently asked questions about IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback.
What is Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN)?
MCN employs a small EEG amplifier approved by the FDA for “Relaxation training and muscle reeducation”. The device transmits very low-power waves.
Is MCN safe?
There are no FDA adverse reports in the history of its use. Because MCN is passive, painless and nearly sensationless, and simply amplifies the body’s natural healing responses, it is safe for anybody, including infants, the elderly, those who are pregnant, and those with many complex medical conditions. There are no contraindications.
What happens during a session?
During a session, clients sit in a chair and five leads will be placed on the scalp and neck using a paste. Most people report feeling nothing at all and in fact, find the experience calming and peaceful as they take the approximately 30-minute session to focus on breathing and relaxing. An infrared light therapy device is also used to increase the body’s circulation and decrease inflammation.
Do I stop taking my medications?
How many sessions will I need?
How do I prepare for a session?
Please talk to your doctor before you stop or make changes to your medication. You may find increased sensitivity to your medications as your brain adjusts. MCN has been found to work very effectively in tandem with other traditional or alternative modalities and approaches.
Every brain responds differently and each person faces a unique set of issues. More complex or long-term situations will require more sessions. Most people see measurable results after 12-24 sessions. Generally, clients begin at 2 sessions per week. As they start to see improvement, we reduce sessions to once per week to verify that gains are being sustained. The goal is for improvements to become permanent with minimal follow up sessions.
What about children?
Is MCN only used to treat medical conditions?
It’s recommended to be well-hydrated and well-nourished both before and after an MCN session. It is important to abstain from recreational substances including alcohol and THC the day of the session. This allows the MCN to work more effectively and for reactions and responses to be tracked accurately. It is best if you have no oil, lotion or makeup on your face. Also, please no perfumes or scented body lotions (with respect for other people with allergies who come into the office).
Parents often find great benefits to using MCN for their children of all ages. The child needs to be able to sit still for 10-15 minutes. There is a bag of fidget toys in the office to help keep them occupied.
No. In fact, many clients are high achieving students, athletes and professionals seeking optimal brain performance. They want to become more resilient to stress, be more focused and improve their quality of sleep.
