About Neurovella

A neurosurgeon-founded Brain Spa, open since 2018.

Neurovella offers guided brain-health and wellness services. The experience is not a substitute for medical evaluation or treatment.

History

Founded in Santa Monica in 2018

Neurovella opened in Santa Monica in 2018 with private rooms, guided sessions, and noninvasive brain-health tools outside a traditional clinical setting.

Neurovella works with the Institute of Neuro Innovation (INI) to evaluate noninvasive approaches as brain-health research and practice evolve.

Do I need symptoms to come in?
