Supporting Your Brain, Body,
and Nervous System to Function
as They’re Designed To
Hi, I’m Anthea, founder of Restore Body & Mind Studio.
As a certified NeurOptimal® Brain Trainer, I help people support their brain, body, and nervous system through carefully selected, non-invasive modalities designed to promote recovery, resilience, and overall wellbeing.
My goal is to provide a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, reset, and give your system the support it needs.
How This All Began
- For a long time, I’ve been drawn to helping people feel better – in their bodies, in their minds, and in their lives.
- But this work didn’t begin as a business idea.
- It began during a time when my family was moving through a deeply challenging health chapter – the kind that sends you searching for answers, trying different things, and hoping to find something that actually helps.
- I won’t share the details here.
- But it changed how I understand health.
-
It shifted my focus from “fixing symptoms”…
to supporting the brain and body at a deeper level – so they can regulate, recover, and function as they’re designed to. - That’s when I discovered Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and NeurOptimal® neurofeedback.
-
At first, I was simply looking for support for someone I love.
What I didn’t expect was the impact it would have on me. - After just a couple of hyperbaric sessions, I felt clearer, lighter – like my whole system had reset. The kind of feeling you might get after a proper break, where your body finally has space to recover.
- And during a particularly stressful period, using NeurOptimal® helped me move through it with a level of calm and resilience I hadn’t experienced before.
- Those experiences stayed with me.
- They showed me what’s possible when the brain and body are given the right conditions to restore and rebalance – something I now see reflected in many of the clients I work with.
-
Alongside this, I’ve spent years working as an educator, including time living and teaching in Wilcannia – a remote Aboriginal community in Far West NSW.
That chapter had a profound impact on me. - I saw firsthand how stress, environment, and access to support shape people’s wellbeing – but I also saw incredible resilience, connection, and the importance of feeling supported.
- At the same time, I was building my first business, helping people take control of their finances so they could feel calmer, more secure, and more in control of their future.
- And while that work was incredibly rewarding, I started to notice a deeper pattern…
- So many people weren’t just financially stressed. They were exhausted. Overwhelmed. Constantly “pushing through.”
-
It reinforced something I now believe deeply:
Most people aren’t lacking effort – they’re lacking the right kind of support.
The Benefits
Why These Modalities
There are countless options in the health and wellness space. I chose to focus on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and NeurOptimal® neurofeedback for a simple reason:
They work with your body – not against it.
Both approaches are non-invasive and designed to support your system in doing what it’s naturally capable of – regulating, repairing, and restoring balance over time.
Rather than forcing change or masking symptoms, they create the conditions for your brain and body to respond in their own way, at their own pace.
That’s what drew me to them.
And it’s why I continue to use and offer them today.
That’s what led me to create Restore Body & Mind Studio.
A calm, welcoming space where you can step out of the noise and give your body and mind a chance to reset.
Through carefully selected, non-invasive modalities, I support clients with sleep, stress, recovery, clarity, and overall wellbeing.
No pressure. No overwhelm.
Just thoughtful, personalised support – in a space where you can breathe, slow down, and start to feel like yourself again.
Because when your body and mind feel supported… everything else becomes easier.
My process
How I work
I believe in simple, personalised care.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here, because no two people are the same.
I take the time to understand what’s going on for you, and help you explore options that feel supportive, manageable, and aligned with your life.
Testimonials
Stories of Healing & Balance
“At my first NeurOptimal® session I could feel my whole system starting to settle. There was a brief adjustment period while I got used to the sounds and the sensors, but after that I felt deeply grounded in my body. My mind became quiet, my nervous system seemed to exhale, and I drifted into a peaceful, meditative state without having to force anything. What was remarkable was that I felt as though I had received three or four hours of deep rest in just thirty minutes, yet I remained completely awake and aware the entire time. I wasn’t asleep, zoned out or disconnected. I was simply deeply rested. I slept beautifully afterwards and woke feeling clear, refreshed and energised. After only one session I left feeling calmer, more centred and more resourced than when I arrived. For me, that alone made it worthwhile.”

NeurOptimal® Client
“After trying physio, acupuncture, massage and PRP injections for knee and shoulder injuries they were still causing me discomfort and limiting my ability to sleep and exercise. I had heard good things about Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy and healing. At first, I had some fears about getting into the chamber but knew I was in safe hands with Anthea. I now really enjoy the sessions — I just relax and read a book knowing my injuries are healing. I always feel better after a session and walk away feeling relaxed and refreshed. My knee injury has improved to the point that I now have no pain and my shoulder injury symptoms have diminished.”

Hyperbaric Oxygen Client
“I’ve been living with extreme pain from Post-Herpetic Neuralgia for two years now, following a bout of shingles, along with very poor sleep. I came to NeurOptimal® hoping for some relief. It’s still early days — I’ve had 10 sessions so far — but I’ve already had a few nights of noticeably better sleep, which has made a real difference after so long without it. While I know there’s still a long way to go after two years of pain, it’s encouraging to feel any shift at all. Anthea has been wonderfully supportive throughout, and I’m looking forward to seeing how I continue to progress.”
