Her newest exciting adventure is her “developingMINDS” certification program in Childhood and Adolescent Neurodevelopment where she has brought 30 years of her research, teaching, and clinical experience into one incredible program! This program has quickly become recognized as the most comprehensive program currently available. Covering the preconception period through early adulthood with considerations in methylation biochemistry and individualized nutrition, the microbiome, prenatal stressors, sensory-motor development, primitive and postural reflexes and specific NeuroIntegrative protocols, this program is truly her life’s work!
