For you, who hasn't given up yet

You've been looking for something that truly works.

Maybe you've already tried other things. Maybe some worked a little, but not enough. Maybe you're just curious and aren't sure yet if this is for you. Any of those reasons is a valid reason to be here.

No surprises

What is a NIBBOT session like?

The unknown is scary. That's why we tell you exactly what will happen — from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.

  1. You arrive at the center

    That first moment always comes with some nerves. That's normal — and nobody is going to ask you to arrive without them. You don't need to prepare in any special way: you can eat, have coffee, drive. Your day starts just like always.

  2. You sit down comfortably

    In a relaxed chair. No lying down, no changing clothes, nothing that makes you feel vulnerable. There's no rush. Nothing to prove. This space exists, literally, for you to be well.

  3. The coil is positioned

    We know this is the moment with the most nerves. The professional gently brings the coil close to your head. It doesn't directly touch your skull. No needles. Nothing enters your body. If you have questions in that moment, ask — that's what they're there for.

  4. The session begins — ~20 minutes

    You'll feel a small rhythmic tapping, like gentle knocks near your head. Many people tell us these are their first twenty minutes in a long time with nothing to do and nothing to think about. Some listen to music. Others simply close their eyes and breathe.

  5. You're done. Your day continues.

    You stand up and carry on with what you had planned. No recovery, no sedation, nothing that interferes. Over time, many people find they leave those sessions feeling a little more like themselves. Not always all at once. But something shifts.

Straight talk

The questions everyone has — and doesn't always dare to ask.

We'd rather you read them here, calmly, before they become a reason not to try.

  • Does it hurt?

    Honestly, no. What you'll feel is something like a gentle tapping — like light knocks on your scalp in rhythm with a metronome. Most people are surprised by how little they feel. Some even find it relaxing. And if anything feels uncomfortable at any point, just say so.

  • Will I be conscious the whole time?

    Completely. You never lose track of what's happening. You can talk, ask questions, laugh — or simply close your eyes and let the twenty minutes pass. There's no sedation of any kind. You're always in control.

  • Can I drive afterward?

    Yes, without any problem. There's no lingering effect after the session. Many people schedule it before going to work or picking up their kids. Your day isn't interrupted — that's part of what makes this kind of care different.

  • Is it safe?

    The technology behind NIBBOT has been studied for over forty years — it's not new or experimental. Potential side effects are minor: mainly a mild tingling sensation during the session, which disappears when it ends. Nothing that requires you to change your routine.

  • Does it affect my medications?

    You won't have to change anything on your own. NIBBOT is designed to add to what you already do — not replace it. If you take medication or do therapy, keep doing so. Just tell the professional everything you're taking: that allows them to support you in the best way possible.

  • Will I notice it right away?

    Probably not — and it's good to know this upfront so you don't get discouraged. The brain needs time to form its own connections. Some people notice something in the second week; others, by the end of the protocol. There's no right speed. What matters is that you're not doing it alone.

What to expect from the process

How many sessions do I need? When will I notice something?

The honest answer is: it depends. It depends on you, your history, how your brain responds. There's no formula that works the same for everyone — and be wary of anyone who tells you otherwise.

What we can tell you: most protocols involve between 10 and 20 sessions over two to four weeks. It's not a linear process. There will be days when you feel something is changing — and days when you notice nothing. Both are part of the journey.

The professional accompanying you will be with you at every stage. They don't disappear after the first session.

Week 1

You might leave the first sessions wondering if it's working. That's normal — almost everyone goes through that. Your brain is still learning the path. Skepticism is also part of the process.

Weeks 2 – 3

This is where many people tell us "something is happening, but I'm not sure exactly what." Maybe mornings don't feel as heavy. Maybe sleep comes a little easier. Maybe there's more space between one thought and the next.

At the end of the protocol

This is the moment to look back — not at others, but at yourself, at how you arrived. The professional makes this journey with you and together you decide the next steps.

After

For many people, this isn't the end — it's the beginning of a different relationship with their own wellbeing. Some come back occasionally. Others take something with them they didn't have before, and that's enough.

Timelines are for reference only. The protocol and results vary from person to person. Always under the guidance of a qualified professional.

What people ask us most

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a prescription to get started?

In most cases you don't need to arrive with paperwork in hand. What will happen is that the professional at the center has a conversation with you first — to understand your history and make sure NIBBOT makes sense for what you're looking for. If you're not sure exactly what you need, write to us and we'll guide you with no commitment.

Can I combine NIBBOT with my current medications?

In almost all cases, yes. NIBBOT isn't meant to compete with what you already do — it's meant to complement it. But never make decisions about your medications on your own. Tell the professional everything you're taking: that allows them to support you in the safest way possible. If you take medication and do therapy, keep doing so — this doesn't replace any of that.

How long do the effects last?

The changes that build up with each session tend to stay — because they're not artificial, they're connections your own brain has been building. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike: once the brain learns, it doesn't easily forget. That said, some people do periodic maintenance sessions over time — like someone who goes to yoga or therapy occasionally. Not because it's required, but because it does them good.

Are there people who shouldn't receive the treatment?

Yes, and it's important to know this. If you have metal implants in or near your head, a pacemaker, or other implanted electronic devices, the treatment is not appropriate for you — at least not without a very careful evaluation. The professional reviews this before starting, always. There's no guessing involved: the initial evaluation exists exactly for that.

What if I don't notice anything in the first sessions?

We get asked this a lot — and we understand where it comes from, especially if you've already tried other things that didn't fully work either. The first thing we want you to know: not noticing anything in the first sessions doesn't mean nothing is happening. The brain works at its own pace, not ours. The second: if at any point you feel something isn't going as expected, tell your professional — the protocol can be adjusted. You're not in this alone.

Can I stop if I decide I don't want to continue?

Yes, always. This is your process and you decide. There's no obligation to complete a protocol. What we do ask — if you can — is to talk it through with the professional before stopping: sometimes simple adjustments make a big difference. But the final decision is always yours.

Does my health insurance cover it?

We wish we could give you a clear answer, but it depends on both your policy and where you live. What we can tell you is that it's worth asking your insurer directly. And if cost is a concern, let us know — in many cases there are ways to make this more accessible. Don't assume it's not possible before asking.

How do I find a center near me?

Write to us — literally, that's all. Tell us where you are and we'll connect you with the nearest certified center. If you want to first find out whether NIBBOT makes sense for what you're looking for, we can have that conversation too. We're here for that.

If you made it this far, you've already taken the first step.

That counts. The next one is finding a center and having a conversation — no pressure, no commitment, just to see if this is for you.
