and a great night of sleep."
Chiari malformation is a structural defect where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal — requiring surgery to remove part of the skull to create space. Michael had this procedure in fourth grade. Even years after surgery, he woke up every single morning with migraines, nausea, and dizziness. He learned to manage it — diet, no contact sports, careful lifestyle choices. But the headaches never stopped. Until he tried the Pod.

I had my Chiari malformation procedure when I was in fourth grade. Before the surgery, I had been experiencing several severe symptoms — migraines, nausea, dizziness, blackouts, impaired vision, ringing in the ears. After the surgery, the intensity of many of the symptoms decreased, and I was able to function semi-normally.
In the years following, I learned to work around the symptoms — not lifting extreme weights, no contact sports, being careful about my diet. One of the major improvements was diet; with the removal of gluten and non-natural sugar, a good portion of the inflammation decreased. But the headaches persisted. This would also cause sleep issues.
Upon learning of the work Mike does with the Pod, ARP, and BrainTap, I figured it couldn't hurt to try. The pod was my favorite — when you get out, you feel very relaxed.
What really amazed me was the next morning. I had previously woken up almost every morning with headaches, and after I did the therapy, I woke up with zero symptoms and a great night of sleep.
I just wanted to say thank you to Mike for all the work he does and the new opportunities he gives.
Theta Chamber · The Pod
Multi-sensory immersion combining motion, PEMF, light therapy, and binaural audio to guide the brain into deep theta healing states.
BrainTap
Audio-visual brainwave entrainment through headphones and light eyewear — retraining the nervous system toward calm, restorative rhythms.
ARP Wave
Neurological electrical stimulation that finds and treats the origin of dysfunction — not just the symptom — allowing the nervous system to reset.
Your nervous system has a frequency.
