Hello, I’m John Mekrut and I am the Founder of
The Balanced Brain Neurofeedback Training Center in North Hollywood, California
I employ a variety of neurofeedback and biofeedback technologies to help clients reduce or eliminate troubling symptoms impinging on their best performance and assist those already well functioning explore new and deeper levels of awareness.
My personal journey into the fascinating world of brain health and neuroscience began with my own daughter, whose diagnosis of Autism led our family and me along a path in pursuit of better function for her. What a wonderful adventure it has been!
I spent almost 25 years in show business, as an agent and personal manager for actors and writers, and saw up close truly dysregulated brains in action. I bring that awareness and knowledge to my current work as I have always been motivated to help people transform into their best selves.
Honors and Awards

It is a multi-professional association of clinicians, researchers and educators who share an interest in the use of biofeedback techniques in pursuing health and human potential.

These men and women have contributed over the decades with research and advocacy to promote the use of technology that will improve and enhance the human condition.
