My Story

A journey
through the mind.

"I firmly believe that understanding how your brain works is the first step to changing your life."

My fascination with the brain began long before I set foot in a laboratory. Growing up, I watched people around me struggle with anxiety, burnout, and cognitive fatigue — conditions that medicine treated as symptoms rather than signals. I wanted to understand the source.

I pursued my undergraduate studies in Biology at the University of Barcelona, where I first encountered clinical neuroscience.

My PhD research at University College London focused on neuroplasticity-based interventions for chronic stress disorders.

After completing my doctorate, I spent three years as a research associate at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research.

Today I run a private practice offering what I could never find as a patient: a truly personalized, science-first approach to cognitive wellbeing.

The people
behind the practice

Founder · Lead Clinician
Dr. Elena Marín

Neuropsychologist with 15+ years applying neurofeedback in clinical and high-performance settings. Designs every personalized protocol.

Senior Neurofeedback Clinician

Clinical Psychologist
Lucía Torres

Integrates neurofeedback with evidence-based therapy. Specialist in anxiety, sleep regulation, and child & adolescent care.

Three principles
that guide everything

01
Evidence over intuition

Every technique, protocol, and recommendation I make is rooted in peer-reviewed research.

02
The brain is not the enemy

Anxiety, poor focus, emotional dysregulation — these are not character flaws. They are adaptive responses that need redirecting.

03
Change is measurable

Real progress leaves a neurological trace. I use quantitative assessments before, during, and after every programme.
