Early years matter for your baby’s brain development and lifelong mental health.
For decades, low nurturing, anti-nurturing, harsh, authoritarian parenting has been dominant and mainstream. This parenting can influence brains to develop powerful fear and stress within the nervous system. It can influence humanity to be reactive, aggressive, and anxious.
Nurturing, brain-healthy, authoritative parenting can change our whole world. It can influence brains with regulated emotional and cognitive circuitry. It can influence humanity to be more peaceful, kind, thoughtful, creative and empathetic.
This 90-minute online workshop is designed to help you understand your baby’s brain so that you will know how to attend to their needs in a way that protects their development, physically and mentally. You will learn evidence-based information that will act as your parenting north star.
You will learn:
> The reality of mental health in our culture and how we can support our child's mental health from infancy and beyond.
> Infant brain physiology and how to support development.
> How infant's brains use adult brains for co-regulation.
> How stress differs in an adult and in a baby
> How to use a nurtured presence and nurtured empathy to grow your baby’s brain.
> The 6 stages of consciousness for a baby.
Parenting is challenging, especially with all the conflicting advice and information that makes us question our own parenting instincts. This workshop is the latest, most up-to-date evidence-based information that will give you the knowledge needed to parent with confidence and prioritize what matters the most for your baby and YOU!

Welcome to The Nurture Revolution! Transforming lives by improving mental health for babies and parents is my life's work. Throughout my neuroscience career at The University of Toronto and Columbia University, with training at NYU and Yale - I have studied how genetics and experience shape the brain, nervous system and body to influence lifelong mental and physical health. As a neuroscientist, doula, mother and educator I am passionate about bringing this knowledge to families to create a nurtured future for our babies and the planet.
