Briana Cruz CN, CHC

Briana Cruz is a Neurotherapist, Certified Nutritionist, and Health Coach at Neurotherapy of Colorado Springs. She has completed advanced training in neurofeedback under Chris Edwards and Dr. Steven Stockdale and collaborates closely with Alexa Transtrum and Dr. Stockdale to prepare qEEG brain mapping reports for clients. Briana is also certified to teach clients how to use Alpha-Stim, an FDA-cleared device that supports anxiety, depression, insomnia, and overall nervous system regulation.

Her path into integrative healing began with an Associate of Science in Psychology and nursing prerequisites in Pennsylvania. Initially drawn to psychology, Briana shifted her focus after realizing her passion for helping people heal without relying solely on pharmaceuticals. She pursued training under leading integrative health pioneers including Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Mark Hyman, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Neal Barnard, Sally Fallon Morell, David Wolfe, and others. In 2009, she became a Certified Nutritionist and Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Since then, Briana has dedicated her career to exploring holistic healing modalities. Her training includes advanced courses in nutrition, trauma-sensitive care, breathwork, and nervous system regulation. She has studied with master breathwork practitioners and continues to deepen her expertise through ongoing education, including certification coursework with the HeartMath® Institute.

Briana believes that true healing begins with understanding the nervous system. She helps clients build resilience, regulate emotions, and create sustainable lifestyle practices that support both brain and body health. Her approach integrates neurotherapy with personalized nutrition coaching—addressing the deep connections between the gut, brain, and overall well-being.

“As a mother, I know the importance of teaching emotional regulation and healthy habits early in life. My own journey of healing from childhood trauma has fueled my passion for gardening, cooking, yoga, breathwork, and holistic wellness. More than anything, it has been my children who inspired lasting change. I want every client to have access to tools and practices that empower them to step out of the shadows of generational trauma and into a life of vitality and resilience.”
