What is ExoMind™
ExoMind™ holds FDA clearance for the treatment of depression and leverages advanced ExoTMS™ technology to activate specific areas within the brain responsible for emotional control, cognitive processes, and self-management. By triggering crucial neurological circuits, ExoMind™ assists in revitalizing optimal brain function and encouraging enhanced neural connections, presenting a non-surgical method for bolstering psychological well-being.
How it Works
The Exomind system delivers precisely calibrated magnetic pulses to stimulate neural activity in the DLPFC and other key brain regions. These pulses mimic the brain's natural electromagnetic patterns, increasing blood flow and enhancing neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections.
This stimulation increases brain activity and neural connectivity, enabling improved communication between areas of the brain involved in mood and behavior. Over time, repeated sessions help restructure and optimize brain function, leading to a significant improvement in emotional balance, mental health, and overall quality of life.
Benefits of Exomind
Exomind offers a range of transformative wellness benefits for both the mind and body:
Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: No anesthesia, no needles, and no need for antidepressants or medications.
FDA-Approved for Depression: Proven effective for individuals with major depressive disorder, especially those who have not responded to traditional treatments.
Enhances Mental Clarity: Supports focus, concentration, and memory—ideal for those suffering from brain fog or cognitive fatigue.
Supports Weight Loss and Craving Control: Targets brain regions linked to self-control and decision-making, helping you stay on track.
Improves Emotional Resilience: Strengthens your brain's ability to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional ups and downs.
Is the ExoMind Safe?
Yes—ExoMind™ is a non-invasive, medication-free treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses, similar to those in MRI scans, to stimulate targeted brain regions. It requires no anesthesia, incisions, or downtime, making it a low-risk option for enhancing cognitive and emotional well-being.
Based on FDA-approved TMS technology, ExoMind™ sessions are carefully calibrated to deliver safe, precise stimulation while minimizing discomfort. Most patients experience only mild tingling or warmth.
Your safety is our priority. Every session is supervised our board-certified PMHNPs, with thorough pre-treatment assessments to screen for rare contraindications such as certain implants or seizure history. This ensures a personalized, clinically sound treatment experience tailored to your needs.

Your Exomind Session
Your Initial Consultation
Your Exomind journey begins with a detailed consultation at Awen HEalth & Wellness. During this session, our team will:
Review your medical history
Discuss your mental health concerns or cognitive goals
Explain how Exomind works in your specific case
Perform a non-invasive brain assessment (if needed)
Develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your lifestyle and desired results
This thorough and empathetic approach ensures your care is not only effective—but aligned with your overall wellness goals.
Preparing for Your Exomind Session
To get the most out of your Exomind treatment, here are a few pre-session guidelines:
Stay hydrated for optimal neural response
Avoid alcohol or caffeine 24 hours prior to your session
Continue prescribed medications unless directed otherwise
Bring a list of any supplements or meds you are currently taking
Wear comfortable clothing
Arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in and relax
We recommend scheduling your sessions at times when you can be fully present—such as mid-morning or early afternoon—and minimizing stress afterward to help integrate the effects of brain stimulation.
Treatment
When you arrive for your ExoMind™ session, you’ll be welcomed into a calming, spa-inspired space designed to ease stress and promote comfort. Once you’re settled in the treatment room, our team of board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners will carefully position the ExoMind™ device. The non-invasive applicator targets specific regions of the brain—most notably the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—to support emotional regulation and cognitive clarity.
As the session begins, you may experience subtle sensations like gentle tingling, warmth, or rhythmic pulses on the scalp. These effects are typical and often perceived as soothing. The atmosphere is intentionally quiet and tranquil, allowing you to relax deeply as the technology works to enhance brain function and emotional balance.
Each ExoMind™ session lasts approximately 30 minutes. During this time, many patients enter a meditative or deeply relaxed state. Our clinical team remains nearby throughout to ensure your comfort, answer questions, and adjust settings as needed for an optimal experience.
There is no downtime following treatment. You’ll leave the session feeling refreshed, clear-headed, and ready to resume your day as usual—no recovery required. ExoMind™ is designed to fit seamlessly into your routine while delivering powerful support for your mental wellness journey.

How Long Do Results Last?
The results of Exomind can be long-lasting, especially when the full treatment protocol is followed. Many patients begin to experience noticeable improvements in emotional regulation, mental clarity, and reduced symptoms of depression after just a few sessions. However, the most profound and sustained effects are typically achieved after completing a full course of treatments, which usually spans several weeks.
Longevity of results varies from person to person, but many report benefits lasting six months or longer, particularly when combined with positive lifestyle habits like stress management, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. Continued stimulation of key brain regions such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) helps reinforce neural pathways associated with mood regulation, decision-making, and cognitive function.
Maintenance Recommendations:
Booster sessions may be recommended every few months to maintain optimal brain activity and prevent regression of symptoms.
Patients managing chronic conditions such as major depressive disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder may benefit from ongoing maintenance as part of their broader mental health strategy.
Follow-up visits allow us to monitor your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.
Risks and Side Effects
Exomind is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared, and drug-free treatment with minimal side effects. Most patients tolerate it very well.
Common side effects may include:
Mild scalp tingling or discomfort during treatment
Brief headache or fatigue afterward
Occasional facial muscle twitching
These effects are temporary and typically resolve quickly. Serious risks are rare, and our team conducts a full health screening beforehand to ensure your safety.
