Our Approach

A whole-brain approach to health, right here in New Zealand

We are living at a remarkable moment in medicine. Never before have we understood so much about how the brain works, how lifestyle shapes biology, and how personalised, data-guided care can transform health outcomes. At NeuroBalance, we are committed to bringing this science to people here in Dunedin and across New Zealand.

Instead of focusing only on symptoms, we look at the full picture — your biochemistry, nervous system function, daily habits, and emotional and social wellbeing.

We call this our 5D Science Model. By understanding how these areas interact, we create tailored plans designed specifically for you — so you can think more clearly, feel better, and live at your best.

Scientifically Grounded

Every approach is backed by current neuroscience research. We cite our sources and stay at the forefront of the latest developments in brain science.

Non-Invasive Solutions

Safe, natural methods designed to support your body's innate regulatory systems. We focus on providing effective paths beyond traditional pharmaceutical options.

Data-Driven Personalization

Your wellness plan is guided by objective biological data (including QEEG brain mapping, HRV, and cognitive assessments) moving beyond simple subjective checklists to target your unique physiology.

Led by Dr. Elizabeth Harris

A BCIA Certified Neuro-professional, FRNZCGP, and ACNEM practitioner with over 15 years of experience in the field of brain health and optimization.

Meet the Clinical Director

Dr. Elizabeth Harris

FRNZCGP BCIA Certified Neurotherapist ACNEM Practitioner Emergency Medicine

Dr. Elizabeth Harris is the founder and clinical director of NeuroBalance, and the driving force behind its integrated, whole-person approach to brain health. With a background spanning general practice, emergency medicine, environmental health and formal postgraduate training in clinical neurotherapy (through the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance) and nutritional and environmental medicine (ACNEM). Dr. Harris brings a rare combination of clinical depth and technological expertise to every consultation.

She established NeuroBalance after recognising that mainstream medicine, while essential, too often addresses symptoms without exploring their underlying drivers. Her 5D Science Model reflects a clinical philosophy built over 15 years of working with complex presentations.

"There is almost always a better way - and it 4 starts with actually looking at what is happening inside the brain."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your first consultation.

Do I need a referral to see NeuroBalance?
No referral is required. You can contact us directly to book a consultation. We welcome self-referrals from adults across New Zealand and Australia. If you have an existing relationship with a GP or specialist, we're happy to liaise with them ~ but it's not a prerequisite.
What is neurotherapy, and how does it work?
Neurotherapy (also called neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback) is a non-invasive training approach that teaches the brain to self-regulate by providing real-time feedback on its own activity. Sensors on your scalp read your brainwave patterns, and the feedback ~ delivered via sound, visual cues, or both ~ helps your brain learn healthier, more efficient states through repetition. It's safe, drug-free, and supported by a substantial body of clinical research.
What is a QEEG brain map?
A QEEG (Quantitative EEG) is a detailed recording of your brainwave activity across 19 sites on the scalp, captured at rest and sometimes during a task. The data is compared against a normative database to identify patterns of dysregulation ~ areas where your brain may be over-aroused, under-aroused, or poorly connected. This map guides our therapy planning and is used across our ADHD, Sleep, and Memory programmes.
Can NeuroBalance help with ADHD in adults?
Yes. Adult ADHD is one of our most common presentations. Our ADHD Assessment programme uses a combination of QEEG brain mapping, ERP testing, TOVA performance testing, and clinical interviewing to build a comprehensive picture ~ well beyond a symptom checklist. Therapy planning is personalised and may include neurofeedback, interactive metronome, nutritional medicine, and lifestyle support.
How long does it take to see results?
This varies depending on the complexity of your presentation and the programme you're undertaking. Stress Recovery clients often notice improvements within the first 1–2 week package. Neurofeedback for ADHD or sleep typically shows measurable change within 10–20 sessions, with significant improvement by 30–40 sessions. We use objective before-and-after testing in all our programmes so you can see real data on your progress.
Is neurotherapy covered by insurance or ACC?
Some neurotherapy services may be partially covered depending on your health insurance policy and the specific plan you hold. We recommend checking with your insurer directly. ACC coverage may apply in specific cases, particularly where neurotherapy is part of therapy following a traumatic brain injury. We can provide detailed invoices and clinical documentation to support claims.
Can I access NeuroBalance if I'm not based in Dunedin?
Yes. We regularly support clients from across New Zealand and Australia. Initial consultations can be conducted via telehealth, and certain assessments ~ such as CNS Vital Signs cognitive testing ~ can be completed online before you travel. Outreach clinics in Christchurch and Auckland are coming soon. Contact us to discuss what's possible for your situation.
How is neurotherapy different from medication?
Medication can be highly effective and remains an important tool ~ we work collaboratively with prescribers, not against them. Neurotherapy works differently: rather than chemically altering brain activity from the outside, it trains the brain to regulate itself more efficiently over time. Many clients come to us wanting to explore non-drug options; others use neurotherapy alongside existing medication. We'll always give you an honest assessment of what's likely to help most for your specific presentation.
