Louise
Marks holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley
and a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Boston University.
She has worked as an occupational therapist in both rehabilitation and
psychiatric settings, beginning her specialization in biofeedback in 1987.
She is BCIA certified in biofeedback and EEG neurofeedback. In San
Diego, Louise headed the Applied Psychophysiology Laboratory at Scripps
Clinic and Research Foundation ( La Jolla), where she developed and supervised
applied psychophysiology and biofeedback programs for the treatment of
urinary and fecal incontinence, chronic pain syndromes (levator ani, vulvodynia,
headaches, fibromyalgia, etc.), and sleep disorders. She has also
worked as a consultant to Sharp Pain Treatment Center (San Diego) and Scripps
Comprehensive Outpatient Center (Chula Vista), helping them to establish
programs for elimination disorders and chronic pelvic pain sydromes.
At the California Professional School of Professional Psychology (San Diego)
she has taught courses and workshops in EEG neurofeedback and behavioral
treatments for bowel/bladder disorders and pelvic pain. Louise currently
resides in Boulder, Colorado where she designs biofeedback software, offers
consultation
and training workshops to health care providers, and maintains a limited
private practice.
Ms. Marks has a long standing interest in the various applications of EEG Biofeedback using them clinically, and for her own inner exploration and growth. Areas of clinical specialization include pelvic floor dysfunction, anxiety disorders, and personal growth.
"As a biofeedback/neurofeedback therapist, I work primarily as an educator and coach. Since understanding is a vital and essential aspect of gaining control or mastery, I spend considerable time explaining physiological functions and the rationale for biofeedback and behavioral treatment approaches. As a coach, I assist in the often silent trial-and-error search for the inner mechanism which brings forth the desired outcome. These special moments of inner discovery and connection can be extremely exciting, fruitful, and often just plain fun."Certifications/Registries: Biofeedback Certification Institute of America, Biofeedback (1987), #3004; Registered Occupational Therapist (1975), #280057; Biofeedback Certification Institute of America, EEG Biofeedback (1998), #1064
