Muggs (Margaret) Gallagher has been a
nurse for nearly 40 years, helping people to live a life that is better
through the care she has provided. Since being introduced to neurofeedback
in 2002, she has gained a new passion for helping people using this
incredible form of therapy. She blends her medical knowledge, her passion,
her skills as a mother and friend, and her clinical skills in neurofeedback
to help children and adults attain a better life. She has helped treat
individuals with the illnesses of ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, ODD,
PTSD, learning disabilities and more.
Muggs had personal and professional reasons to
begin her journey into studying neurofeedback. Her adult son probably had
ADHD as a child but the disorder was not diagnosed at that time. Her
grandchild showed all the symptoms of ADHD in preschool and could not sit
still for any length of time. Muggs has also been an elementary school nurse
and participated in many meetings where the child needed help with being
able to focus but the parents were unwilling to start medication due to the
side effects they had read about in articles. She is very aware of the
disruption that this behavior can bring to a family and a classroom. She
just knew there had to be an alternative, which is what led her to this
field.
Muggs took her initial classes through EEG
Spectrum, a leader in neurofeedback training. She is still an affiliate of
this organization and has taken more then 200 hours of training from their
excellent staff. She has also mentored with some of the most respected
nationwide clinicians for 200 plus hours and continues to seek their help
with challenging cases. She is committed to continuing to learn, as
knowledge of the brain has frequent new discoveries and that can lead to
better neurofeedback. She attends conferences and keeps her knowledge
current through books and journals.
Muggs knows that God has led her to be
available to help people improve their lives, as well of the lives of their
families, with neurofeedback. She continues to be amazed at how lives are
changed; medication is lessened or stopped altogether, families are
restored, children and adults feel good about themselves, all with the help
of neurofeedback.
She would love to talk with you about this
modality. Call her at 972-743-3319 or e-mail at
