Biofeedback therapy for stress and burnout recovery

Biofeedback & Neurofeedback

Nervous system regulation for chronic stress patterns. Biofeedback & Neurofeedback measure and train your stress system.

I see my stress pattern now.

Biofeedback and neurofeedback give you real-time data on how your body and brain respond to pressure.

Biofeedback
Tracks signals like heart-rate variability, breathing, muscle tension, and temperature to map your stress response.

Neurofeedback
Uses EEG brain activity to train focus, emotional regulation, and post-stress reset.

What you gain

Immediate awareness of what stress is doing to your system

Practice regulating your body

Measure changes in recovery and resilience

Data you can track

Covered by supplementary health insurance (Zusatzversicherung)

Biofeedback sessions are recognized by Swiss supplementary health insurance. Coverage depends on your plan. You receive an itemized receipt for reimbursement.

Biofeedback supports

  • Calmer stress and anxiety response
  • Improved sleep and fatigue recovery
  • Emotional regulation under pressure
  • Tension-related headaches and pain patterns
  • Blood-pressure stability (with medical oversight)
  • Regulation skills for people recovering from trauma

Neurofeedback supports

  • Attention and focus training (including ADHD, alongside standard care)
  • Emotional regulation and impulse control
  • Sleep stabilization and post-stress reset
  • Cognitive performance under sustained load
  • Trauma-related reactivity and recovery capacity

How to get started

The Stress Performance Test

A one-hour biofeedback assessment maps your stress–recovery curve and baseline regulation capacity. Includes testing and education. Not a medical diagnosis. 150 CHF — typically reimbursed by supplementary insurance.

How we work

  • Biofeedback data can help you set clear goals and track change over time.
  • We set a development plan. The number of sessions vary.
  • This work is coaching and regulation training. It does not diagnose nor replace psychotherapy or medical treatment. Clients with clinical needs are referred to licensed providers.

Q&A

Biofeedback is a well-researched behavioral training method with more than 40 years of clinical use. It strengthens autonomic regulation — the foundation of stress recovery and resilience.

Modern EEG systems make brain-based training accessible outside research labs. It offers real-time insight into how the brain regulates under stress and how recovery improves with practice.

No. These are evidence-based methods using medical-grade sensors and structured protocols, not shortcuts or consumer gadgets.

No. This is skills training, not treatment. It is often used alongside psychotherapy, medical care, or performance coaching.

Wearables track trends, not clinical-grade physiological data. Biofeedback and neurofeedback provide precision data and guided training that consumer devices cannot match.

400+ hours of biofeedback-specific education, Swiss-approved coursework in anatomy and ethics, clinical practicum at a burnout clinic, ongoing supervision, and membership in European biofeedback associations. Recognition for insurance reimbursement (EMR/ASCA) in progress.

Biofeedback and neurofeedback train the nervous system to recover more efficiently from stress. Research shows they can increase parasympathetic activation (the body’s recovery mode) and support flexible brain activity patterns, both of which are associated with healthier aging and long-term resilience.

These methods do not treat medical conditions related to aging — they build self-regulation skills that support overall capacity and well-being.

  • PTSD and trauma-related symptoms – Neurofeedback has been shown to reduce trauma-related reactivity and improve emotional regulation when used alongside therapy.
    (Nicholson AA et al., Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023)

  • Stress and anxiety – HRV (heart-rate variability) biofeedback consistently lowers physiological stress activation and improves self-reported calm in both clinical and general populations.
    (Goessl VC et al., Applied Psychophysiology & Biofeedback, 2017)

  • Emotional regulation and pain – Biofeedback shows moderate improvements in emotional control and certain chronic pain patterns, though results vary by protocol and individual response.
    (Lehrer PM & Gevirtz R, Frontiers in Psychology, 2014)

  • ADHD – Neurofeedback is best used as an adjunct method, not a replacement for standard medical or therapeutic care.
    (Cortese S et al., JAMA Psychiatry, 2023)

  • Sleep and cognitive performance – Early evidence shows potential benefits, but effects depend on the specific training method and duration, and more research is needed.
    (Thibault RT & Raz A, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2017)


These methods train regulation. They do not diagnose or treat medical or psychiatric conditions. Clients with clinical needs continue working with licensed providers.

The recognition process with EMR and ASCA is underway and expected to be completed in early 2026.

In Switzerland, these accreditations allow clients with supplementary insurance to request reimbursement for approved complementary health methods.

This recognition does not make the work medical or psychotherapeutic. The sessions remain coaching and skills-based training, not treatment or diagnosis.
