Hub or rTMS: which one is for you?
Both tools work with the brain, but in different ways. They use different gear and different programs, so we use one or the other in a sitting, never both. I help you pick.
AO Hub
Light and sound. You wear light glasses and headphones. Light and sound programs that guide the brain toward focus, energy, or rest. Good if you like to close your eyes and let the program work.
AO rTMS
Gentle magnetic pulses through a cap. No light or sound programs. Targets set areas of the head for focus, memory, mood, and more. Good if light and sound bother you.
Not sure?
Tell me what you want help with: focus, memory, energy, sleep, mood, or habits. We will decide together on the phone or at your visit.
What people use the Hub and rTMS for
Your brain runs on rhythms called brainwaves. When it gets a steady rhythm of light, sound, or gentle pulses, it tends to follow along. This is called entrainment. Each program uses that to guide the brain toward a certain state, whether that is sharp focus, steady energy, or deep rest.
People come in with all kinds of goals. Here are some of the most common:
Focus and concentration
For the days your mind won't stay on task.
Memory and recall
Support for remembering names, tasks, and details.
Mental energy
For the afternoon slump and the tired, foggy feeling.
Restful sleep
Help settling the brain so sleep comes easier.
Steadier mood
Support for emotional ups and downs and feeling more even.
Calm under stress
Help shifting out of "go, go, go" so your body can rest and repair.
Healthy habits
Support while you work on cravings or habits you want to change.
Head and nerve tension
Comfort for a tight, tense, overworked head and neck.
Body comfort
Programs aimed at physical comfort and recovery.
Many people do a series of sessions, since the brain builds on what it practices. I keep a simple log so we can see how you are feeling from one session to the next.
AO Hub
The AO Hub is a brainwave device made by Solex. It uses full-spectrum white light through glasses and separate sound in each ear through headphones. Each program guides the brain toward a certain brainwave range.
I choose programs from The Neuro Codes by Dr. Nadya Lutz. They are grouped for physical comfort, emotional calm, and everyday habits. We pick one based on what you want to work on.
You sit or lie back with your eyes closed. Depending on the program, people leave feeling sharper, steadier, or more rested.
- Theta (4–8 Hz): deep calm and emotional release
- Alpha (8–12 Hz): calm alertness, learning, and creativity
- Beta (12–35 Hz): structured thinking and problem-solving
- Gamma (35 Hz and up): clear, sharp focus
AO Hub
In person- How it goes
- Glasses and headphones on, eyes closed. You rest while the program runs.
- Used for
- Focus, memory and recall, mental energy, mood, stress, restful sleep, healthy habits, and physical comfort.
- Not for you if
- You are prone to seizures caused by flashing lights. If anything feels uncomfortable during a session, we stop or switch to a different program.
AO rTMS
The AO rTMS is a cap that gives low-intensity magnetic pulses to set areas of the head. It runs its own programs, separate from the Hub. It is a wellness tool made by Solex. It is not the clinical TMS used in doctors' offices.
You sit or lie back with the cap on. Most people simply rest while the program runs.
AO rTMS
In person- How it goes
- The cap goes on and the program runs while you rest.
- Used for
- Mental energy, clearer thinking, memory and recall, mood and behavior, restful sleep, head and nerve tension, healthy habits, and healthy circulation.
- Not for you if
- You have a seizure history, metal or electronic implants in or near the head, or are pregnant. We go over your health history before your first session.
How I choose your program
Both tools have a list of built-in programs. Before your session we talk about what you want help with, and I pick the program that fits. I can also set a custom frequency. For the Hub, I follow the session guides in The Neuro Codes by Dr. Nadya Lutz, which also include simple logs so we can track how you feel from one session to the next.
AO Hub programs
Grouped into body, emotional, and habit programs. Some examples:
- Focus, memory, and concentration
- Restful sleep
- Stress reduction
- Calm when you feel worried or on edge
- Steadier mood
- Anger and fear: settling strong emotions
- Physical comfort
- Hormone balance support
- Healthy weight habits
- Support for breaking unwanted habits
AO rTMS programs
Each program sets the pulse pattern for one goal. Some examples:
- Healthy behavior habits
- Mental energy
- Clearer thinking when you feel foggy
- Memory and recall
- Restful sleep
- Mood and behavior support
- Head comfort and nerve tension
- Healthy circulation
- Custom frequency
These programs are for general wellness. They are not treatment for any disease or condition. If you are under a doctor's care, keep seeing your doctor and tell me about your health before we choose a program.
