John Stevenson is a Registered Heath and Performance Psychologist who started offering Biofeedback & Neurofeedback Therapy in 2010 as an alternate treatment for patients who were not responding to traditional therapies. It is a non-invasive, non-addictive and medication free method for teaching the brain to function in a more balanced and healthy way.

John and his team have helped hundreds of children and adults improve their anxiety, depression and ADHD conditions to allow them to fully participate in sports, school and have an active, rich life. They are dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment strategies to groups and individuals actively seeking to maximize their mental health and regain function.

In addition to Neurofeedback and Biofeedback therapy, John is also known for being a Mental Performance Consultant, Sports Psychologist and Executive Coach.

The Oxygen Advantage breathing exercises have been tremendously beneficial for not only for his sports clients but his ADHD clients with regard to improving the quality of their sleep, which in turn, have improved their ability to regulate their focus and their ability to regulate their emotions. The Oxygen Advantage breathing exercises have also made significant impact with regard to our clients recovering from concussions/traumatic brain injuries. The benefits from Oxygen Advantage breathing exercises have also been felt amongst our clients who have been struggling with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Our clients have really appreciated the natural non-pharmaceutical approach that have allowed them to feel significantly better and in several cases be able to come off of their medication. Finally, the assessment and progressive O/A breathing exercises have significantly improved not only the performance of our sports clients but their overall health and well-being. Their ability to move with power and ease and their new-found functional breathing has allowed them to go harder, faster, and stronger during the course of their competition, which in turn, has greater levels of focus, composure, confidence, and consistency in their performance.
