Michael Pottern
Michael Pottern is the founder of Denver Zen Den, Denver's first sober psychedelic clinic. He also recently launched MindWave, a system that helps wellness practitioners integrate nervous system technology into their practices.
Since 2023, Denver Zen Den has run hundreds of sessions combining light, sound, and vibration to help people reset their nervous systems and access expanded states; no substances involved. The studio has been covered by Westword, featured at Denver Startup Week, and built a steady community of high-performers, therapists, and people who are simply curious about what their brain can do. They were recently voted Denver’s Best Wellness Experience of 2026.
Michael's approach comes down to one idea: curiosity opens the door to regulation. The neuroVIZR became one of the main tools at the Zen Den because it quickly and reliably shifts brainwave states, creating the kind of moment that makes people lean in and want to go deeper.
Through MindWave, Michael helps other practitioners integrate neuroVIZR into their work through software, session templates, and hands-on business support.

The first time I tried the neuroVIZR, I got it immediately. This was not just another gadget. The kind of deep, open state I'd spent years working towards in meditation showed up in about fifteen minutes. That's what made me decide to use it with our clients at the Denver Zen Den.
Now, after hundreds of sessions with clients, the pattern holds. People arrive feeling tense and leave noticeably changed. I've watched executives drop a week of stress in one sitting. Veterans find a sense of calm that they weren't sure existed for them. First-timers walk out saying it changed something. The neuroVIZR just works. And more than that, it opens something people didn't know was available.
The neuroVIZR just works.
NeuroVIZR uses Light Messaging to help you and/or your clients practice state-navigation. It is the perfect hardware companion for:
- Preparation: Calming the nervous system before deep sessions.
- Stabilization: Grounding the body after intense breakthroughs to prevent "integration burnout."
- Neuroplasticity: Encouraging the brain to remain flexible and receptive to coaching insights.
