Who We Are
Pam Blodgett
Growing up on a dairy farm, I witnessed the toll of chronic pain, head injury, migraine, seizure, and trauma. I saw how animals, like humans, could soldier on, others could not. From inside a cow barn, I learned I was meant to be a helper, to find solutions to problems, and restore value to lives torn apart by pain or injury. It was there, on a farm in Wisconsin, the Brain Lady was born.
In my second decade of teaching at the university level about different abilities, neurofeedback found me and I found my life’s work. The world of applied neuroscience finally explained everything that I had witnessed, learned, or lived. The language of brain science, and its applications showed me what was happening “under the hood.” Watching clients recover, I have learned the real-life world of neuroplasticity, and in clinical settings, have had the profound privilege of observing the brain heal itself again and again.
From humble beginnings, I bring to you The Brain Show and tools to help your brain function at its best. I want all of you to learn the language of the brain, to be concussion literate, and to have access to the tools of brain optimization. Let us do this one brain, one clinic, one community at a time.
“You cannot enslave a mind that knows itself, that values itself, that understands itself”

After meeting Pamela in 2017 in Cusco-Peru, I was able to establish that my next objective will be to learn about Neurofeedback, that is the 25th of December of the year 2019, I arrived at Pamela's office in Maine, United States. To begin this adventure of exponential growth for my professional as well as human skills. From the beginning, the guidance of Pamela, who became my mentor, has been nurturing and with exceptional pedagogy, has known how to teach the fundamentals of neurofeedback day by day as well as put them into practice. I admit it has not been easy, there are many difficulties such as my language difficulties since my native language is Spanish, however, together we have managed to make progress, turning each difficulty into an opportunity to progress. I feel that Pamela accompanies me in this process of learning and personal growth from her patient and tireless vocation as my mentor and from her scientific and pedagogical objectivity as a professional. I can't find words to represent how grateful I am for all that Pamela has taught me. It only remains for me to say that I will be eternally grateful and never forget everything I have lived through.

Luego de conocer a Pamela el 2017 en Cusco-Perú pude fijar que mi siguiente objetivo sería aprender acerca del Neurofeedback, es así que el 25 de diciembre del año 2019 llegue a la oficina de Pamela en Maine, Estados Unidos. Para así empezar esta aventura de crecimiento exponencial para mis habilidades profesionales como también humanas. Desde el principio la orientación de Pamela quien se convirtió en mi Mentor ha sido nutritiva y con una pedagogía excepcional ha sabido enseñarme día a día los fundamentos del Neurofeedback como también ponerlos en práctica. Lo admito no ha sido fácil, se presentaron muchas dificultades como por ejemplo mis dificultades en el idioma ya que mi idioma natal es el español, sin embargo, juntos hemos sabido salir adelante convirtiendo cada dificultad en una oportunidad para progresar. Siento que Pamela me acompaña en este mi proceso de aprendizaje y de crecimiento personal desde su vocación paciente e incansable como mi mentor y desde su objetividad científica y pedagógica como profesional. No encuentro palabras para representar lo agradecido que estoy por todo lo que me ha enseñado Pamela solamente me queda decir que estaré eternamente agradecido y nunca olvidare todo lo vivido.
