Co-founder of the Brain Spa and founder of Mind Balance, Angela Martinucci has worked with athletes with neurofeedback and peak performance coaching for many years. In her work with major league baseball players, including the Oakland A’s team, she found the benefits of neurofeedback training to be invaluable for peak athletic performance.
