If you’re going through assisted reproductive therapies (ART) or IVF, or trying to conceive, you know how stressful it can feel.
After many rounds herself, Gema, the owner of Neurofeedback Rentals, knows EXACTLY how stressful this can feel…
There can be appointments, waiting, decisions, disappointment and a lot of uncertainty about what happens next.
And while you’re dealing with all of that, the rest of your life doesn’t stop…
NeurOptimal®, the neurofeedback system we supply, works with your brain rather than trying to tell it what to do.
It doesn’t try to change how you feel about what you’re going through.
During a session, NeurOptimal® simply offers your brain information it didn’t have before via an interruption to music.
Then your brain makes any adjustments it wants to make. It is in control of the whole process.
This can lead to you feeling more resilient and regulated, less stressed and more calm….just more like your old self.
So you remain uniquely you…just better able to deal with the journey. All from the comfort of your home…
What is Neurofeedback at home?
Neurofeedback is essentially brain training, and it is also referred to as neurofeedback therapy.
We supply the Neurofeedback system NeurOptimal® Australia-wide to make it easy for everyone to access at home.
It is a simple device that uses E.E.G sensors to help your brain & central nervous system learn more about how it functions.
Think about it like a mirror, where your brain can start to learn about itself for the first time.
The process is straightforward:
1. There are 5 sensors placed in the same positions on your scalp & ears each session. These observe your brain’s natural electrical activity.
2. The sensors relay that information to the computer program. The program then tells your brain what’s going on by interrupting music you are listening to.
3. You hear the interruption, and your brain interprets the break in the music as key information.
4. Your brain learns more with each session and can change itself in a very natural way without you needing to do anything.
Anyone can benefit. NeurOptimal® is in 84 countries and has been in use for 25 years, so it has helped many people worldwide who suffer from ADHD symptoms.
We Express Post our NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback Rental Kits with everything you need to do neurofeedback brain training at home minutes after receiving it!
Regulate your Nervous System with NeurOptimal®
Your fertility journey can ask a lot of your mind and body.
The waiting, uncertainty and decisions can make an already important time feel overwhelming.
NeurOptimal® has helped our clients feel calmer, clearer and more resilient throughout the process.
So you can support your wellbeing while focusing your energy on building the family you want.
When you are going through fertility challenges, the stress can start to bleed into other areas of your life. Waiting for results, making decisions and wondering what will happen next can make it difficult for the brain to properly switch off, even when nothing needs your immediate attention.
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback helps by offering the brain information about what it is doing in real time. The brain can use this information to make its own adjustments, helping it become more flexible and regulated rather than getting caught in the same responses.
Clients have reported that this can feel like the rough edges have been smoothed out, leaving them with a more natural, steady feeling of calm that carries into other parts of their life.
Fertility can come with a lot of uncertainty and it is natural to wonder whether there is anything else you could be doing to support yourself through the process.
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback gives you another way to look after yourself and your brain during what can be a particularly stressful time. It doesn’t require you to consciously work on anything; your brain is simply given information about what it is doing and makes its own adjustments.
Regardless of the eventual outcome, clients have told us they value knowing they did everything they reasonably could to support themselves through their fertility journey. For some, there is peace of mind in knowing they put everything they had on the table.
The fertility journey can have a lot of ups and downs. When you have been hoping for a particular result, a setback can be difficult to process and it can take time for your mind and body to settle again.
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback can help the brain become more flexible and resilient by giving it information about what it is doing in real time. This can help the brain regulate itself and adapt as circumstances change, rather than remaining caught in the stress of what has happened.
Clients have reported feeling better able to move through difficult periods and regain their balance after setbacks, helping them get through the fertility journey with as much ease and resilience as possible.
During assisted reproductive therapies, there can be some difficult and sometimes time-limited decisions to make. Unfortunately, these decisions often come at a time when emotions are high and logical thinking can feel at its most strained.
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback can help the brain become more regulated by giving it information about what it is doing in real time. As the brain becomes better able to regulate its responses, strong emotions may feel less overwhelming and it can become easier to access clearer thinking alongside them.
Clients have reported feeling calmer and clearer when faced with difficult decisions, helping them consider the information in front of them and make an important call when they need to.
Partnerships can become strained during the fertility journey. Emotions are often high and the physical, emotional and practical burden can sometimes fall more heavily on one partner, making it harder to communicate and stay connected through the process.
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback can help the brain regulate itself by giving it information about what it is doing in real time. As the brain becomes more regulated, it can help clear some of the cloud of emotions and create more space to respond rather than simply react.
Clients have reported feeling better able to recalibrate after difficult moments and bring their attention back to each other and the ultimate goal they are working towards together.
During a fertility journey, the physical burden often falls mainly on one partner. There are some parts of the process that simply can’t be shared equally, which can create an imbalance in the experience even when you are both equally invested in the outcome.
Having a NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback system at home gives you something you can both take part in. You can do your sessions together, make it part of your routine and support each other through the process.
Clients have told us that sharing NeurOptimal® can become a unique bonding experience, creating another point of connection during a time when it can be particularly important to feel like you are going through the journey together.
During a fertility journey, it can feel like there is always something to think about, organise or wait for. For both partners, it can be important to deliberately carve out some time that isn’t focused on appointments, decisions or what happens next.
A NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback session gives you 33 minutes to yourself where there is nothing you need to consciously work on. You can simply put the sensors on, listen to the music and allow yourself some uninterrupted “me” time.
Clients have told us that this time to simply sit and relax is an added bonus to the more scientific side of the NeurOptimal® process, giving them a regular opportunity to switch off for a while.
When fertility treatment has been going on for a while, it can start to take over more and more of your emotional life. Sometimes you don’t want to analyse how you are feeling or work on yourself anymore — you just want to feel happy again.
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback can help the brain become more flexible and regulated, allowing it to work through some of the stress and emotional clutter that may be getting in the way of those lighter feelings naturally coming through.
Clients have reported experiencing an unexpected sense of happiness during the process, describing it almost like a natural well of happiness bubbling up again without having to consciously make it happen.
Quick Questions...
No. AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a marker used to estimate your ovarian reserve, or approximately how many eggs you have remaining.
NeurOptimal® neurofeedback works with the central nervous system. It does not act directly on your ovaries or your egg supply.
If you are concerned about this, please speak with your fertility specialist.
No. Implantation is influenced by many factors, including embryo quality, uterine receptivity and hormonal conditions.
NeurOptimal® works with the central nervous system, simply reflecting information about the brain’s electrical activity back to itself. It does not directly target or interfere with the implantation process.
If you have any concerns about using NeurOptimal® during this stage of your fertility treatment, please speak with your fertility specialist.
Yes, it may help. Fertility can become all-consuming, especially when so much of the process feels outside your control.
NeurOptimal® gives your brain information it didn’t previously have about its own electrical activity. Your brain can then adjust naturally, in its own way, supporting greater flexibility and resilience.
Clients have reported feeling less stressed, less caught up in their thoughts and more flexible in their decision-making. Some also find it easier to cope with uncertainty and accept outcomes that are outside their control.
Yes, it could. When you’re going through fertility treatment, the stress, uncertainty and constant decision-making can affect almost every part of your day.
NeurOptimal® supports your brain’s natural ability to self-regulate. Clients have reported feeling calmer, sleeping better, thinking more clearly and being less emotionally affected by situations outside their control.
Even small improvements can make a meaningful difference. When you’re carrying less stress and mental load, you may have more energy and emotional capacity for your relationships, work and the other parts of life that matter to you.
Yes, it could. Fertility challenges can place a lot of pressure on a relationship, particularly when you’re both managing stress, disappointment and uncertainty in different ways.
NeurOptimal® supports the brain’s natural ability to self-regulate. Clients have reported feeling less reactive, more emotionally balanced and better able to manage difficult conversations and situations.
When you’re feeling calmer and more resilient, it can become easier to communicate, support each other and enjoy time together without fertility dominating every conversation. Small changes in how you respond to each other can make a meaningful difference to your relationship.
Gema's Story...
Hi! I am Gema, the owner of Neurofeedback Rental!
About ten years ago, I lost a pregnancy, which was followed by the breakdown of my relationship. It was during that difficult period of loss and recovery that I first came across NeurOptimal®.
Since then, fertility has been a significant part of my life. I completed three rounds of egg freezing in quick succession, across different clinics, alongside my sister, who went through around 20 rounds of IVF before having her child.
Years later, in another relationship, we struggled to fall pregnant naturally and turned to embryo freezing. I experienced an unexpected cycle with no eggs collected, eventually created and froze embryos, and then faced the difficult decision to walk away from those embryos when the relationship ended.
Through pregnancy loss, failed cycles, relationship breakdowns and the uncertainty that comes with fertility, NeurOptimal® has been something I have consistently used to help me stay emotionally level and navigate what was happening around me.
My own journey isn’t finished. I still follow my supplement regime, keep my acupuncture appointments and do what I can while accepting that I don’t yet know what my path to becoming a parent will look like.
Having experienced different clinics, treatments and outcomes, I understand how consuming and complicated this process can become. NeurOptimal® can’t take away the difficult parts, but for me, it has been a valuable support tool while dealing with them.
Quick Questions...
NeurOptimal® works with the central nervous system, not directly with the reproductive system. It cannot guarantee pregnancy or directly improve your chances of conceiving.
However, it may support greater mental flexibility and resilience, helping you feel more relaxed, manage stress and make clearer decisions throughout your fertility journey.
These changes may help you navigate the process more effectively, but NeurOptimal® does not directly influence fertility or pregnancy outcomes. If you have any concerns, please speak with your fertility specialist.
Yes, they are different body systems, although the brain and reproductive system communicate through hormonal pathways.
NeurOptimal® works with the central nervous system, providing feedback about the brain’s electrical activity. It does not directly improve fertility, egg quality, ovarian reserve, implantation or your chances of becoming pregnant.
Where it may help is with the mental and emotional demands of trying to conceive. Greater flexibility, resilience and stress management may make the fertility journey easier to navigate, but these benefits should not be confused with improvements in reproductive function. If you have any concerns, please speak with your fertility specialist.
No. NeurOptimal® does not directly influence fertility or pregnancy outcomes, so it would not be reasonable to blame the system if you don’t fall pregnant.
We understand how emotionally difficult fertility treatment can be. However, if you feel you might hold NeurOptimal® responsible for an unsuccessful outcome, we would prefer that you didn’t rent through us.
Decisions about which devices or additional therapies to use during fertility treatment should always be discussed with your fertility specialist before proceeding.
Any benefits you experience from NeurOptimal® in relation to your fertility journey would be secondary, rather than direct improvements to your reproductive system.
NeurOptimal® works with the central nervous system, supporting the brain’s natural ability to self-regulate. Clients have reported feeling less stressed, more emotionally balanced and more flexible in their thinking and decision-making.
These changes may help you manage fertility treatment and its challenges more effectively, but they do not establish an increased chance of pregnancy. For questions about your fertility or treatment outcomes, please speak with your fertility specialist.
NeurOptimal® has been around for over 25 years and is used in 87 countries, with more than 4 million training sessions logged worldwide.
In Australia, it’s still relatively unknown. Many practitioners have been focused on meeting client demand rather than investing heavily in marketing, podcasts or advertising.
It’s also important to remember that NeurOptimal® isn’t a fertility treatment. Its potential benefits during your fertility journey are related to stress management, emotional resilience and mental flexibility, rather than directly improving reproductive outcomes.
The biggest thing that may hinder your progress is inconsistent training. We recommend 5–6 NeurOptimal® sessions per week, with 1–2 rest days. Establishing a regular routine is more important than trying to fit in as many sessions as possible.
We also recommend avoiding other brainwave-based technologies during your rental, such as Rife machines, binaural beats, Solfeggio frequencies or brainwave entrainment programs. This makes it easier to identify changes associated with your NeurOptimal® sessions.
Use the tracking sheets we provide to monitor your sleep, stress levels, mood and emotional resilience. Remember, progress refers to how you’re feeling and functioning, not changes in your fertility or chances of pregnancy.
You’ll usually notice changes in how you feel, think and respond to everyday situations, rather than feeling something specific during a session.
You might find yourself feeling less stressed, sleeping better, thinking more clearly or coping with uncertainty more easily. Situations that previously felt overwhelming may become easier to manage, and you may feel less consumed by your fertility journey.
We provide tracking sheets to help you recognise these changes, as they can be gradual. Remember, progress with NeurOptimal® is measured by improvements in your wellbeing and everyday functioning, not by fertility results or pregnancy outcomes.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
A worldwide survey of all NeurOptimal® trainers was conducted to observe client results.
This looked at the percentage of improvement at a certain number of sessions:
Fertility After 20 Sessions
After 20 Sessions – 50% of People reported a 61-90% Improvement
Pregnancy (Morning Sickness) After 20 Sessions
After 20 Sessions – 100% of People reported a 31-60% Improvement
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) After 20 Sessions
After 20 Sessions – 51% of People reported a 61-90% Improvement
Relaxation After 20 Sessions
After 20 Sessions – 54% of People reported a 61-90% Improvement
Managing Expectations...
The brain & nervous system are very complex structures.
We have had many people who have had a significant shift within the first few sessions.
Results for other clients take more time.
We encourage all clients to keep in mind that all worthwhile change takes time.
Neurofeedback is brain training and, like muscle training at the gym, it is a process.
Unlike the gym, NeurOptimal® training is fun and painless; so it is easier to stick with!
We are here to make it as simple as possible to reach a positive result.
Research Paper - Effects of Mind / Body Programs
Research: Mind–Body Approaches and Fertility
A 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis published in Asian Nursing Research examined 10 randomised controlled trials investigating mind–body programs for women experiencing infertility.
Researchers found that these programs were associated with reduced anxiety and depression, improved quality of life and higher pregnancy rates compared with control groups.
The programs included techniques such as meditation, relaxation, breathing exercises and yoga.
*While the findings are encouraging in general, the research did not specifically investigate NeurOptimal® neurofeedback, so the results cannot be directly applied to this system.
We have included it to highlight that mind/body programs are considered useful.
Quick Questions...
In our experience, many clients begin noticing their first changes around sessions 13–20. Some notice improvements earlier, while others take longer.
The first changes might include better sleep, feeling less stressed, clearer thinking or finding it easier to manage the emotional ups and downs of fertility treatment.
We recommend 5–6 sessions per week, with 1–2 rest days. We also provide tracking sheets to help you recognise changes as they happen. Remember, these results relate to your wellbeing, not your chances of becoming pregnant.
Missing the occasional session isn’t a problem. Life gets busy, and we understand that sticking to a routine isn’t always possible.
However, consistency is important. We recommend 5–6 NeurOptimal® sessions per week, with 1–2 rest days. Regular training gives you the best opportunity to notice changes and build on your progress.
If you miss a session, simply pick up where you left off. There’s no need to double up to make up for lost time. The aim is to establish a manageable routine that you can maintain throughout your rental.
There is no specific timeframe you need to start NeurOptimal® before an IVF cycle. NeurOptimal® is not a fertility treatment and does not directly target the biological processes involved in IVF.
You can consider starting at any time, whether you’re preparing for treatment or already going through the process. The focus is on supporting your mental and emotional wellbeing.
However, please speak with your fertility specialist before using NeurOptimal® during IVF treatment to make sure it’s appropriate for your individual circumstances.
We send our NeurOptimal® rental kits Australia-wide via Express Post.
Once dispatched, delivery generally takes 1–3 business days to most metropolitan areas, with regional locations sometimes taking a little longer.
Dispatch depends on kit availability, and we’ll confirm the expected timeframe when you book.
Your rental period starts the day after your kit arrives, so you won’t lose any training time while it’s in transit.
Consistency is the most important thing. We recommend completing 5–6 NeurOptimal® sessions per week, with 1–2 rest days.
Establishing a regular routine gives you the best opportunity to notice improvements.
We also provide tracking sheets to help you monitor changes in your sleep, stress levels, mood and emotional resilience.
Small improvements can be easy to overlook, particularly when you’re focused on fertility treatment.
Once you’ve established a consistent routine, you can consider increasing to two sessions per day.
However, more sessions don’t necessarily mean faster results. Remember, we’re focusing on improvements in your wellbeing, not directly influencing fertility outcomes.
In our experience, many clients begin noticing their first changes around sessions 13–20. Some notice improvements earlier, while others take a little longer.
These changes might include better sleep, feeling calmer, thinking more clearly or finding it easier to manage the emotional demands of fertility treatment.
We recommend 5–6 sessions per week and provide tracking sheets to help you recognise improvements along the way. Everyone responds differently, and progress is measured by changes in your wellbeing rather than fertility outcomes.
We recommend starting with a one-month rental. This gives you time to establish a consistent routine and begin noticing changes in your wellbeing.
Simply start with one month and extend progressively from there, depending on your experience, progress and personal circumstances.

Quick Questions...
We understand. IVF is already a significant financial commitment, and the last thing you need is pressure to spend more money.
NeurOptimal® isn’t a fertility treatment, and we wouldn’t suggest diverting money from your medical care to pay for it. It’s an optional investment in your mental and emotional wellbeing during what can be a very demanding time.
Only consider renting if it feels financially comfortable for you. Your peace of mind matters, and adding financial stress would defeat the purpose of supporting your wellbeing.
It is not a necessity but we recommend that both partners use NeurOptimal® so you can experience the process together.
Fertility treatment can affect you both in different ways. Training together gives you the opportunity to support each other’s wellbeing, manage stress and navigate the emotional ups and downs as a team.
You can both use the same rental kit at no additional cost. Simply complete your sessions separately and enjoy the opportunity to work on your wellbeing together.
Very little! During your 33-minute NeurOptimal® session, you simply sit back, relax and listen to music while the system does its work.
You can watch a movie, read a book, close your eyes or simply enjoy some quiet time. There’s no need to concentrate, meditate or actively do anything.
The system provides feedback to your brain through brief interruptions in the music. Your brain processes this information naturally, without any conscious effort from you.
There’s no need to time your NeurOptimal® sessions around your menstrual cycle.
NeurOptimal® works with the central nervous system and does not directly target ovulation, egg quality or other reproductive processes.
We recommend focusing on consistency rather than a particular stage of your cycle. Aim for 5–6 sessions per week, with 1–2 rest days, to support your mental and emotional wellbeing.
If you’re undergoing IVF or other fertility treatments, please discuss using NeurOptimal® with your fertility specialist before starting.
Yes, absolutely. We recommend telling your fertility specialist about NeurOptimal® before you begin using it.
Although NeurOptimal® works with the central nervous system rather than directly targeting reproductive processes, it’s important that your specialist knows about any additional therapies or devices you’re considering.
Your fertility specialist understands your individual medical circumstances and can advise whether using NeurOptimal® is appropriate alongside your fertility treatment.
No. The sensors stay in the same position for every session, and there are no settings or protocols for you to change.
Once you’re set up, you can simply start your session and let NeurOptimal® do the rest.
The price covers your NeurOptimal® system for the full rental period, delivery, insurance for theft and accidental breakage. Plus support if you need throughout your rental.
There are no additional session fees, so you can use the system as often as you like while you have it.
You can also add other users to the system too during the rental period.
That would be wonderful news! If you become pregnant while using NeurOptimal®, congratulations!
We recommend speaking with your fertility specialist or medical team before continuing your sessions.
If they’re comfortable with you proceeding, you can continue using NeurOptimal® to support your wellbeing throughout your pregnancy.
Each NeurOptimal® session takes just 33 minutes. We recommend completing 5–6 sessions per week, with 1–2 rest days.
You don’t need to set aside time to concentrate or do anything special. You can watch a movie, read a book or simply relax while the system runs.
The key is consistency. We recommend making your sessions part of your daily routine so they become something you look forward to, rather than another task on your already busy schedule.
Absolutely! We’ve made the process as simple as possible because we understand that you already have enough on your plate.
Your rental kit arrives ready to use, with straightforward setup instructions. Once you’re set up, you simply attach the sensors, press play and relax for 33 minutes. There’s no need to adjust settings or learn anything technical.
We’re also here to support you throughout your rental. If you have any questions or need help, we’re just a phone call or message away. Our aim is to make this one of the easiest parts of your day.
No, NeurOptimal® home rentals are not currently covered by Medicare or private health insurance in Australia.
This means your rental will need to be privately funded, in addition to any costs you’re already paying for fertility treatment.
We understand that IVF can be expensive, so we recommend considering whether the additional investment in your mental and emotional wellbeing is right for you.
