Grace Feldmann, MSW, Certified Brainwave Trainer
I’m a life coach offering a blend of brainwave training for peak performance and Inner Witness work for a perspective beyond the ego. Together, they maximize your personal sovereignty: mastery of your mind and emotions, and a bird’s-eye view of your own life.
My training comes from the late Anna Wise, mind research pioneer and international authority on EEG and consciousness, who certified me as an Awakened Mind brainwave trainer. Dr. Andrew Weil called her "one of the foremost pioneers of brain-wave biofeedback." I assisted Anna in leading workshops at Esalen Institute and have practiced meditation for forty years.
From 2006, I ran a brainwave training practice in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Using real-time EEG and guided meditations, I trained clients to produce the empirically established brainwave signature of peak performance, the pattern seen in elite professionals, advanced meditators, and Zen masters. I loved the work. A health crisis put it on hold.
What brought me back was watching social media, algorithms, and chatbot design change the way people show up online, including me. Research shows our attention is being deliberately captured and our emotions manipulated for profit, slowly eroding our cognitive skills and emotional agency. That became the inspiration for reopening my practice and is the focus of this website. However, my clients come to me with varied goals, many unrelated to technology. For those concerned about how the feeds and AI are affecting them or their children, I also offer social media literacy and a personalized tech hygiene plan.
Today I offer the brainwave training with or without EEG. Without it, progress is measured by real-world improvements, so no one is kept from this work by the price of equipment. The Inner Witness work develops your ability to step back from your reactions, see the bigger picture, and choose your response.
I also hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Maryland at Baltimore and am a certified Sexual Assault and Rape Crisis Counselor. As a clinician, I worked primarily with emotionally troubled and abused children, and with women.
As a coach, my goal is to help you draw on and build trust in your own inner wisdom.
I live outside Baltimore with my cat, Zak, love to drum, write songs, and spend time outdoors whenever possible.
