Cancer and its treatments are aggressive — and the impact doesn’t begin or end on a specific date. Whether you’re currently going through chemo or radiation, wrapping up treatment, or navigating life months or years later, your body and nervous system carry the weight of that experience.
Western medicine’s treatment protocol focuses on eliminating cancer cells — but that approach often impacts healthy cells too. Chemotherapy can disrupt the microbiome, flood the body with toxins, and leave the nervous system in a prolonged state of stress. We’re here to support what conventional medicine doesn’t always address: your body’s ability to recover, regulate, and thrive.
During treatment, many people feel like they have to just push through — managing appointments, side effects, and fear all at once, with little support for the nervous system. Many cancer survivors experience a post-treatment “crash”. The weekly routine of doctors appointments and needles has come to an end and there is a sense of “now what?”.
Being diagnosed with cancer was awful and terrifying — finding Bay Area Brain Spa helped me participate in my own recovery and nourish my body and mind.

A Note for Caregivers
Caring for someone with cancer is one of the most demanding roles a person can take on, emotionally, physically, and mentally. Caregiver burnout is real, and your nervous system is carrying more than you may realize.
At Bay Area Brain Spa, we believe you can’t pour from an empty cup. Neurofeedback, lymphatic drainage, and our other wellness tools are just as supportive for the person sitting in the lounge as they are for the person in a service.
You don’t have to be sick to need support. Come in together, or make time just for yourself, either way, we’re here for the whole family.
Brain Spa co-owner Angela is a young breast cancer survivor (only 33 years old at stage 3 diagnosis). She understands firsthand how difficult the time after cancer treatment can be. She was suffering from chemo brain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and uncertainty about how to move forward with life. She was introduced to an incredible technology that is at the core of what the Brain Spa offers: NeurOptimal® neurofeedback, a brain training system that trains the brain for greater strength, resilience and flexibility. The result is a reduction in a wide variety of symptoms. Angela experienced relief in all areas, including personal growth, and ended up changing careers to dedicate her life to sharing neurofeedback with others.
For more than a decade, I’ve been honored to support people throughout the cancer journey — during treatment, after it, and in the years of thriving that follow.
We have tools to specifically address chemo brain, anxiety, emotional wellbeing, sleep, focus and detox.
We support our clients by helping the body heal from a cellular level and restoring balance in the central nervous system. Often after cancer treatment patients are stuck in sympathetic dominance, their nervous system still thinks it’s being “chased by a tiger” and stuck in a traumatic state. The body can only heal when it is in parasympathetic mode. We help to calm the central nervous system and allow the body to tap into its own intrinsic wisdom to heal itself.
Our curated approach to cancer wellness support and restoring wellness for the cancer community includes neurofeedback, cellular repair, and lymphatic massage. Neurofeedback is our core offering and we believe that everyone should train their brain. Neurofeedback during treatment, after treatment, or anytime along the journey is supportive for emotional well-being and keeping the nervous system calm and regulated, which allows for better healing.
"I saw you yesterday for Brain Training and there are no words for how much better I felt when I got home. For the couple weeks previously, I had been crying daily and feeling incredibly fatigued after radiation and a hospital stay. I feel great!! Thank you so much for this amazing treatment. I don't totally understand how it works, but it does, so that's good enough for me. Thank you thank you!"
"After cancer treatment, I suffered from severe chemo-brain -- I couldn't find words, blanked out on names, couldn't multi-task, and forgot simple things. After neurofeedback, the fog cleared and I felt like I had returned to my pre-chemo mental state. It was amazing!"

Yes. The shifts that people experience with neurofeedback training last.

The lymphatic massage and cellular repair are supporting your body in the detox process and cellular repair. Full recovery from the impact of cancer treatments takes time. Our program is designed to help your body with a jump start in the healing process and boost brain performance and emotional wellbeing.
