Our Mission

Our mission is to compassionately reduce suffering through advanced, evidence-based brain stimulation therapies. Driven by passion, curiosity, and openness, we continually seek better ways to alleviate pain and improve well-being.


We’ve traveled globally—from Singapore to Honolulu, Boston, New York, Atlanta, Geneva, Durham, and Vancouver—learning the most effective practices from leading brain scientists and clinicians. If you discover a clinic anywhere in the world offering advanced 5-point quantitative diagnosis, cutting-edge TMS, and multiple gentle electrical stimulation therapies, please let us know; we are always eager to learn and collaborate.


Clinicians and students interested in our innovative methods are warmly welcomed. We believe strongly in collaboration and openly share our knowledge to advance clinical neuroscience.
