Which means your child can move beyond their limitations.
Instead of another tutor or strategy, your child needs brain building.
Your child is working so hard to learn and self-regulate because they have bio-chemical imbalances and weak connections in the areas necessary for good learning.
We use a multi-therapy approach to enhance brain function using nutrition and neuroplastic therapies so your child can expand past their current limitations into their brightest future.
Improve learning & emotional regulation naturally by addressing nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, detoxification and gut health all which impacts brain chemistry.
Increase connectivity in the brain by strengthening weak and underdeveloped connections that are causing the breakdown so kids don't have to work so hard to learn and self-regulate.
Strengthen new connections and retrain the brain with cognitive exercises and neuro-technologies to optimize and solidify results making learning and behaviour difficulties a thing of the past.
Many approaches look at the problem through one lens and use one protocol for a diagnosis.
We identify what’s underneath the diagnosis through a comprehensive, Neuro-Functional Assessment that uncovers what weaknesses and imbalances are causing the challenge. This prevents relapses, fixating on a diagnosis or relying on compensations like IEPs, medication or tutoring.
We look at your child on a bio-individual level.
From there we design your custom Better Brain Blueprint to ensure we are doing Right ACTION at the Right TIME so your child can overcome their challenges and no longer needs accommodations.

The therapies used in our programs are backed by decades of research, peer-reviewed studies and testing with superior results.
From our functional nutrition frameworks to neuro-developmental exercises to our brain changing technologies.
We are all about evidence-based interventions for kids with learning and behaviour difficulties.
Imagine your child has confidence, is calm and independent, and mornings and evenings are actually pleasant.
Imagine having more time to enjoy the things that really matter like family outings, travelling, restaurants and even nights to yourself!
They are therapies and interventions that change the brain like:
The two most effective ways that research has found to improve focus, learning, behaviour and mood are also the methods that are the least discussed by schools, psychologists and even doctors – bottom-up approaches.
I remember feeling like I was burnt out and failing as a parent, overwhelmed with all the options, and desperate to help my child. After years of band-aid approaches I learned that the reason my daughter and students struggled was because we never addressed the root cause – we just ‘managed’ the problem.
Now I’m here to share what I’ve learned because you and I both know that your child has incredible potential – it’s just locked up.
As an Integrative Educational Therapist, I have extensive training in the two most frequently over-looked sources of learning and focus difficulties: nutrition and learning therapies that change the brain.
I help moms move beyond the limitations of IEPs and endless tutoring so kids can become independent, regain their confidence and rise to their full potential – and moms can have peace of mind (and even time for themselves!)
If the answer is yes, I’m inviting you to book a clarity call with me to discuss how we can work together to unlock your child’s full potential.
Your child does not need a diagnosis to begin the program. The program is designed to help those with any diagnosis or symptoms related to ADHD, autism spectrum, reading or learning delays, speech difficulties, expressive language challenges, sensory processing disorder, emotional regulation, ODD, anxiety and more. The research is irrefutable that the sooner children get the help they need–the better the results. Either way a diagnosis is irrelevant to the brain-body approach especially since many children often don’t meet all the criteria of a diagnosis and still struggle significantly with learning, reading or behaviour. Instead of labelling, the brain-body approach screens for underlying factors that contribute to learning and behaviour struggles such as nutrition, skipped milestones and poor brain organization.
Because this approach is not medical–the program is not covered under insurance policies. However, Registered Holistic Nutritionists are covered under several insurance companies so the portion of the program that involves nutritional consults may be covered. Although there are no guarantees, some parents are able to submit the receipts because they receive funding from the government for a child with an official diagnosis.
The brain-body approach looks beyond the limitations of labels and one-size-fits-all therapies. This program seeks to uncover and correct the root cause of why your child is struggling–and there’s almost always more than one! An individualized approach which integrates various therapies helps parents to achieve real solutions in nurturing their child’s full potential. Once the assessment is complete and imbalances and deficiencies are identified, a customized plan that combines multiple therapies to address your child’s unique needs is developed. This assessment and plan looks at your child as a whole–rather than from a perspective of a label or a diagnosis. The brain-body approach is based on the most recent knowledge and research in educational therapy and functional medicine. Targeted nutrition and learning therapies are the starting point in transforming many of the common childhood disorders that are rising in epidemic proportions among children today.
Many current therapies just look at learning or behaviour difficulties through one angle. By just looking at nutrition, or just looking at sensory-motor development there will likely be results, but they will not be as transformative as an approach that screens from multiple angles. My education and background in both educational and corrective therapies and functional holistic nutrition enables me to see the whole picture and put all of these solutions together into one simple, easy-to-follow program that can have life changing results with as little effort as twenty minutes a day.
Educational therapy is focused on correcting underlying learning or behaviour glitches so that your child can actually overcome limitations and experience real success. Educational therapists are trained in how the brain learns, where and why learning or behaviour challenges originate and how to help promote changes in brain organization, memory, reading, learning ability and overall processing. The problem with many reading and learning programs is that they do not address or resolve the underlying reasons for learning difficulties or behaviour challenges.
Traditional remedial learning and reading programs like tutoring often teach around the problem and create strategies to manage a disorder rather than correcting the source of the problem. Unfortunately, remedial learning may at times cause more damage by re-enforcing ‘faulty’ connections. The answer to improving your child’s abilities is not always ‘more practice’. Certainly practice makes perfect when the right connections are in place. Rigorous, rote learning may not only strengthen the wrong connections but it often leads to mental exhaustion, lack of motivation and even potential failure.
Educational therapists assess and screen where the weaknesses and underlying problems reside so that the correct therapies can be applied to create strong corrections. When the right connections are in place learning takes place more naturally and confidence and motivation soars. Tutoring is focused on extra practice and homework and can help to improve grade levels but tutoring benefits are short-term. Tutors are not trained in therapies that help to improve the way the brain processes, retains and stores information.
Yes. Connections in the brain are made strong throughout the six month program. As long as healthy nutrition, regular movement, and cognitive stimulation that is typically a part of every child’s daily life, is occurring, then the brain will not only maintain healthy connections but will continue to create new ones through ongoing learning and stimulation. When I follow-up with parents long after their child has completed the program, they often tell me their child is continuing to improve academically and socially. When the right connections are in place, the brain can’t help but continue to build and grow!
Children don’t outgrow learning and behaviour challenges. In fact, many of these issues can get worse as children get older or shift into something else (ie. Many kids with ADHD become adults with anxiety disorders). When these challenges are not addressed properly, these kids often develop coping strategies which are not always effective, limit their abilities and potential and ultimately affect their self-worth and self-esteem.
Sizeable investments are intimidating for anyone but consider that the average family of a child with special needs spends tens of thousands of dollars on all kinds of interventions by the time they are 18 (and most of these interventions don’t address the root cause but just manage it).
Sometimes it is just a mindset shift into investing in the things that we value. One mom pointed out that the program was only a fraction of what they pay for her son’s little league hockey. Another mom said she paid four times that with all the years of tutoring and other band-aid approaches. Sometimes we need to ask ourselves can we afford not to invest in an intervention that addresses the root cause?
… and an intervention that offers private school approaches for far less.
Sometimes really effective therapies don’t work because they are not done correctly. For example, many people aren’t doing evidence-based exercises for primitive reflex integration or they are trying crazy elimination diets instead of focusing on nourishment. Other times they are not doing the right action at the right time such as doing vision therapy before primitive reflexes are integrated, vestibular system is well developed, and the two brain hemispheres are balanced.
