Naya — The Science of rTMS

Naya is the neurotechnology division of Jivan Wellness — dedicated to brain health and cognitive performance through advanced, evidence‑based therapies. Naya brings world‑class neuro‑therapeutic care to East Africa.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non‑invasive, FDA‑approved therapy that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific regions of the brain. The pulses pass painlessly through the scalp and skull to activate neurons in the prefrontal cortex — the area central to mood, focus, and emotional regulation.

Treatment is conducted in a comfortable outpatient setting, requires no anaesthesia or sedation, and patients remain fully awake throughout. A typical course runs over several weeks, with each session lasting only a short time.

Key Clinical Benefits

Beyond depression, emerging evidence supports rTMS for a broad range of neurological and psychiatric conditions, as well as cognitive enhancement in high‑performance individuals.

Naya integrates rTMS with precision wellness diagnostics, lifestyle coaching, and holistic support to address root causes — not just symptoms. This integrated model, new to East Africa, represents a paradigm shift in neuro‑therapeutic care.

Clinical Applications

rTMS is indicated or shows strong clinical evidence for:

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) — including treatment‑resistant depression
• Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) — reduction of comorbid anxiety symptoms
• Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder (OCD) — FDA‑cleared for OCD
• ADHD support — improved executive function and attention regulation
• Burnout recovery & cognitive fatigue in high‑performance professionals
• Chronic pain management — including fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain
• Post‑Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) — emerging evidence
• Mild cognitive impairment and age‑related cognitive decline
• Post‑stroke aphasia and motor rehabilitation

Typical Treatment Protocol: A standard course consists of 20–30 sessions over 4–6 weeks, each session lasting 20–40 minutes. Accelerated protocols are also available, with recent studies showing comparable efficacy with fewer visits.

Naya at Jivan Wellness

As East Africa’s first integrated neuro‑wellness clinic, Jivan Wellness combines Naya’s rTMS technology with precision wellness diagnostics, IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and executive performance programmes. Our clinical team brings expertise in neuromodulation, psychiatry, and holistic care — ensuring each patient receives a bespoke, evidence‑based treatment plan.

Why Naya? We believe healing should be precise, personalised, and deeply human. Our advanced brain stimulation protocols are informed by the latest neuroscientific research. We treat across conditions because the brain doesn’t silo symptoms — addressing root causes across physical, emotional, and neural dimensions of health.
