Janelle Martin

In a world where mental health struggles are at an all-time high and prescriptions seem to be the default solution, The Mind Connection Brain Health Center is offering a radically different path to healing — one that’s drug-free, holistic, and focused on healing the brain, not just managing symptoms. Founded by Janelle Martin, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), alongside her daughter and partner Regan Steinert, LCDC-I, this mother-daughter duo is transforming the way people view and treat mental health.

A Brain-First Approach

“We’re not counselors first, even though we’re licensed therapists,” Janelle explains. “We’re brain-focused. We help people avoid, reduce, or eliminate medications for mental, emotional, and even physical issues. Medications aren’t fixing the problem. We believe healing the brain is the key.”

With certifications in IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback, Brainspotting, and as Dr. Amen Certified Brain Health Practitioners, Janelle and Regan are combining science, heart, and holistic methods to guide their clients toward wellness. Their approach isn’t just theoretical — they’re living proof it works.

The Power of IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback

One of their most powerful tools is IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback, a cutting-edge treatment that uses tiny, imperceptible microcurrents through electrodes placed on the scalp. These signals help the brain “reboot” and restore balance, much like restarting a sluggish computer.

“You can’t feel it — it’s completely safe and gentle for all ages, from infants to the elderly,” Janelle says. “We see tons of kids with issues like ADD, anxiety, and more. Their parents are tired of being told the only solution is medication. We are that other option.”

Training Under the Best

As Dr. Amen Certified Brain Health Practitioners, Janelle and Regan use protocols developed by world-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen, whose clinics specialize in brain imaging and diagnostics. “We use his assessments, which are based on hundreds of thousands of brain scans,” Janelle shares. “We can identify which areas of the brain are struggling and offer recommendations for nutraceuticals — natural supplements that support brain health — instead of pharmaceuticals.”

The Miracle Client: A Story of Hope and Healing

While both Janelle and Regan have seen countless clients experience life-changing results, one story stands out — a story they’ve held close for over a year, waiting for the right time to share it.

Regan recounts the case of TJ, a young man who suffered two traumatic brain injuries. After the second accident, he suffered severe brain bleeding and was in a coma. “Doctors told the family that he was unlikely to recover,” Regan says. “He was non-responsive, on a feeding tube, in a wheelchair. He couldn’t move, speak, or function. But his mother didn’t give up.”

The family discovered The Mind Connection through Regan’s social media. “Kristy, his mom, got him off all meds except for seizure medication, and I began traveling to their home to treat him twice a week,” Regan explains. “I was honest — I’d never treated anyone in such severe condition. But I knew the system worked.”

Kristy recalls up until the time they started treatments with Regan, TJ had been barely existing. Within the first five sessions, multiple signs of progress appeared. “He smiled for the first time. Then he started giving thumbs-up and thumbs-down to communicate,” she says. “One day, he gave me a hug. He could move his arms again.”

As months passed, his seizures reduced from daily occurrences to once every few months. “A year later, TJ no longer has his feeding tube, practices standing up on his own, rides his tricycle around the neighborhood, and participates in physical therapy to further expand his motor skills,” Regan says.

Healing Without the Side Effects

For Janelle and Regan, stories like TJ’s are the reason they do what they do. “We want to help people function and feel better — without side effects, without dependency,” Janelle says. “The population has never been more medicated, yet we’re also sicker than ever. Something has to change.”

And change is exactly what The Mind Connection is delivering.

Family, Faith, and a Shared Mission

The heart behind their work isn’t just professional — it’s deeply personal. Janelle and Regan have walked the path of healing together, and their bond brings warmth and authenticity to everything they do. Regan has a story of recovery that is woven into the heart of their work. A former client herself, she was her mother’s first patient.

“I was only six months sober, dealing with sleep issues, anxiety, and constant irritability,” Regan recalls. “Honestly, I didn’t believe her when she described how microcurrent neurofeedback worked. But after my first session, I noticed something big — I wasn’t angry anymore. For the first time in a very long time, I was calm.”

Over time, her anxiety disappeared, panic attacks ceased, and sleep dramatically improved. “It helped heal me. It made my early recovery easier and more sustainable.”

Janelle has authored a book that shares their journey through teen drug addiction, treatment and recovery, uniquely told from both of their perspectives. Available on Amazon in June, the book is titled, “Losing Her, Finding Us: A Mother’s Fight, A Daughter’s Journey, and the Road to Recovery.” More information on Janelle’s books is at OurBeautifulRecovery.com.

“I’m proud of Regan,” Janelle says. “Watching her go from a place of pain to becoming a healer herself — it’s the greatest reward.”

Regan echoes, “We’re a mother-daughter team, and our story is part of what makes this place so special. We’re walking testimonies that this healing is real.”

A Center for Hope

At The Mind Connection, clients find hope. Whether struggling with trauma, anxiety, addiction, or neurological conditions, clients are met with compassion, innovation, and a belief in the brain’s ability to heal.

“Everyone deserves a chance to feel better,” Janelle says. “And they shouldn’t have to settle for medications that just mask the symptoms. There’s another way, and it works.”
