"The human brain is a wonderful organ. It starts to work as soon as you are born and doesn't stop until you get up to deliver a speech." -George Jessel
What is Interactive Metronome® (IM)?
Interactive Metronome® (IM) is an evidence-based brain training program that has been shown to produce more efficient connectivity, synchronization, and communication between critical regions of the brain responsible for general intellectual functioning, controlled attention, working memory, and executive functions. Learn more about the science behind IM.
Why Interactive Metronome®?
As an ADHD and family coach, I have worked with countless individuals who have shared that they, or their child, are unable to take medication to help manage their ADHD symptoms, either because the side effects were intolerable or an underlying health condition. There are also those who wish to explore alternative interventions in place of, or in addition to, traditional medical treatment. Interactive Metronome® is about promoting greater brain health, functionality, and efficiency rather than simply managing symptoms. And best of all, you can receive the benefits of IM in the comfort of your home using the IM-Home equipment and software.

What can I expect during an IM session?
Interactive Metronome involves coordinating various bodily movements to a steady, metronome beat. As your provider, I will conduct an assessment and design an individualized training plan based on your, or your child's, diagnosis, goals, and ability. IM training incorporates activities and games (my daughter's favorite game is Salad Samurai). We will meet on a weekly basis (via Zoom and/or phone) to discuss your progress, address challenges, and adjust your training plan accordingly. Using IM-home technology, your customized training plan can be accessed through the e-clinic which also allows you to message me directly should you have any questions or need any quick adjustments made to your training program between meetings.
