Dr. Brown brings to the development of Zengar NeuroCARE® a varied path of careers and achievements in a variety of medical, psychological and academic environments. In brief, her accomplishments include six degrees (including two Masters' and a Ph.D.), numerous academic prizes and awards for academic excellence, many publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. a full-time academic position as Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at S.U.N.Y Stony Brook Division of Behavioral Medicine and licensure both as a Clinical Psychologist and as a Nurse. Despite all of this, Dr. Brown's first love has always been working with her clients.

Dr. Brown's role in the conceptualization, co-development and evolution of Zengar NeuroCARE® has been strongly tied to her belief that personal change does not have to be effortful to be effective and permanent, and much of her work has been to ensure that NeuroCARE® is not only safe and effective but easy to use. Dr. Brown's personal interests lie in exploring the interface between neurofeedback and energetics, a new field she has termed Neurenergetics®, not only for personal power but for group and planetary transformation. She offers personal neurofeedback training and consultation in Victoria B.C., Canada.
