Rewiring Wellness: How Dawn Perez Is Transforming Mental Health Through Neurofeedback and Integrative Care
In our powerful conversation with Dawn Perez, founder of Biofeedback Works, we explored how technology, compassion, and personal experience intersect to change lives.
Dawn’s journey into counseling and neurofeedback began with personal tragedy—losing her brother to suicide due to a lack of effective mental health resources. That moment became a lifelong mission: to create more options, more understanding, and more healing. With a background in both counseling and early computer science, Dawn found her calling when she discovered neurofeedback—a therapeutic method that retrains the brain using auditory and visual signals to improve mental balance and emotional regulation.
At Biofeedback Works, Dawn leads a team committed to individualized care, using cutting-edge tools like QEEG brain mapping, Violet, AlphaStim, sLORETA, and more. But what makes her practice truly unique is its whole-body approach. Alongside neurofeedback, Dawn integrates infrared light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and biofeedback breathing techniques—addressing not just brain function, but the body’s role in healing as well.
Whether supporting children with PTSD, adults with anxiety, or veterans navigating trauma, her mission is clear: empower clients to achieve lasting, measurable transformation. For Dawn, success isn’t just symptom relief—it’s helping people build self-trust, experience long-term change, and “let the world be their positive reward.”
From fostering a collaborative team culture grounded in empathy and innovation, to dreaming of future partnerships with integrative medicine doctors and nutrition experts, Dawn continues to push the boundaries of what mental health treatment can be.
Her final message? Neurofeedback isn’t fringe. It’s real, research-backed, and full of potential. And if you’ve never heard of it—now’s the time to start asking questions.
