What Dr. Mary’s students are saying about this course
I’m grateful for the privilege to be training with the renowned QEEG specialist Dr. Mary Tracy. Her knowledge, professionalism and dedication has made for an enriching mentoring experience. I would recommend her services for those looking to expand the horizons of their biofeedback expertise.
Mary combines a ton of knowledge with an always-encouraging manner. Left to my own devices I would feel hopeless about developing the skill to practice neurofeedback, but Mary makes it feel accessible and possible. It’s a privilege and a relief to study with her!
It is a pleasure to recommend Mary Tracy as a Neurotherapy Instructor. Her command of the subject of EEG equipment, equipment nuances as well as practical limitations of the equipment with the human condition is exceptional. Any student will soon realize her comfort with this multi-faceted subject is an earned product of her many years in this field, almost from the inception of “Biofeedback” itself. Any person who embarks upon learning Neurotherapy and chooses Mary Tracy for an instructor has chosen well. She is “One in a Million.”
Dr. Mary Tracy is hands down the most gifted, talented, and intelligent person I have come to know in my Neurofeedback training. I feel honored to have been taught and trained with her and hear her voice of wisdom in my head every day. Without her I would not have pursued my career in Neurofeedback. To take a training from her means you’ve landed in the room of genuine brilliance. Thanks Mary!
Working with Mary has been such a positive experience, and she has been a supportive and knowledgeable mentor. For me as a new Neurofeedback practitioner, it has been helpful that she is thoughtful about my level of experience, sharing information not only about specific protocols or assessments, but also repeatedly giving me background information and context to help me truly grasp and comprehend the concepts. She encourages me to ask questions and leaves space for me to process what she is sharing. To top it all off, she has a great sense of humor that puts me at ease and allows me to feel comfortable in the vulnerability of learning something new and complex.
I am so very grateful for the turn of events that brought Dr. Mary Tracy into our lives. As a neophyte to the field of neurofeedback I could not have been guided to a better trainer and mentor. I knew within 20 minutes of my first certification workshop with Mary, that if it was at all possible, I would ask her to mentor me in this field. Mary’s amazing acumen, broad experience, patience, and clinical sensitivity inform her training and her practice. Dr. Tracy is such a giving practitioner, trainer and professional. Wherever she is training, I would be there! I highly recommend enhancing your knowledge base and your current level of practice by spending time with Dr. Tracy. Mary is more than a mentor; we have adopted her as a new member of our family.
Mary Tracy has been extremely instrumental in helping me to grow my Neurofeedback business. Through regular consistent consultations with her, I have grown as a practitioner exponentially over the past two years. I am very grateful for her continued guidance and support in my journey to help my clients heal!
