Our Mission
We are a charitable organization that strives to reduce or eliminate the financial barrier to mental health services while increasing availability of those services to underserved communities, using Neuropsychotherapy.
Our Story
It all began with a client in common. Unbeknownst to either Gayle or Laura, one of their individual clients kept mentioning “…how they, and their partner, noticed the most consistent and profound improvements when they had neuro-training and psychotherapy sessions in the same week”.
What that shared client didn’t know was that Laura and Gayle were vaguely aware of each other’s work, having both provided their services at a healing retreat.
The connection wasn’t made until that client offered to introduce them to each other, saying the combination of neurofeedback training and psychotherapy addressing the same goal in the same week had a profound impact.
When the two practitioners, finally and formerly met, the aha moment occurred! Its not often that people meet someone whose goals and values are in direct alignment personally, professionally, and ethically. But, that’s exactly what happened; and what better place for that to happen than on Maui.
In March of 2020, Laura and Gayle decided to deliberately work together on clients they thought could benefit the most with the combined protocol. It soon became evident that the approach was a resounding success.
NeuroTherapy Now (the company that combines both Neurofeedback and Psychotherapy) was formed during the height of Covid-19 as a direct response to the increasing need for effective mental health services.
It soon became obvious that certain financial conditions existed that made this treatment inaccessible to many members of our community that needed it most. Our solution, form a Non-profit component that can mitigate or eliminate that barrier and while increasing the availability of Neuropsychotherapy.
Our federally recognized charitable organization is NeuroBehavioral Health Maui. By supporting NBHM, you help us build a stronger and healthier community which benefits us all.
Mahalo, for your time and support!

”I am honored to be working in a symbiotic way with all elements in this program, adding my local voice to the direction it takes”.
A born and raised island boy originally from Kauai residing in Maui, I grew up in and surround by nature.
I was blessed with adversity in 2011 (at the age of 17) when I dove off a canoe into murky waters breaking my neck. That adversity led me to my purpose in life!
Since then my passion has been channeled in reforestation of the native Hawaiian lands using native Hawaiian plants, cultural preservation and being an inspiration for those living with physical challenges.
