Classes
Brain Fit Academy offers experiential courses and workshops that explore the root cause of developmental, emotional, and learning challenges. Target audiences include parents, teachers, and therapists.
The Brain Fit Academy model is based in Educational Kinesiology, which is drawing out innate intelligence using movement. Movement is important because it is the foundation of development and learning for all. Brain Fit believes in lifelong neuroplasticity — the brain can change at any age.
Through Brain Fit’s experiential courses and mentoring program, self-awareness and empowering tools are acquired in getting to the root cause of struggles and moving forward with ease.

An Experiential Brain-Based Workshop Series
Come join me for an interactive, life-changing workshop series! Each workshop builds on the one before, with opportunities to incorporate what you learn between sessions. Let’s do this ladies!
____________________________
Workshop 1 – The Power of Pause: How We Move in Order to Slow Down
In today’s busy, go-go society, it can be difficult or even uncomfortable to just stop in the moment. What is often overlooked, however, is the importance of this “pause” and the many opportunities that occur in these moments. This workshop offers a dynamic model to further explore this concept, and to have a better understand our own patterns. Practical tools that enable us to slow down to move forward in our best way will also be shared.

Workshop 2 – Bridging the Gap from Surviving to Thriving
This workshop focuses on understanding the stress response on a deeper level and how we can take control of it. Using this knowledge along with simple, yet powerful tools, we can shift from survival, protective mode and to a state of more confidence and connection.

Workshop 3 – Our Movements and Our Behaviors: Why Movement Patterns Matter
In this workshop, the 3 midlines of the body and how they relate to the brain and our behaviors will be explored. Our bodies offer fascinating and important insight as to our state of neuro-organization. Through simple self-noticing activities, a clearer understanding as to where the “blocks” lie emerges. We are then more easily able to move them out of our way!

Workshop 4 – Primitive Reflexes: An Underlying Force Behind Anxiety
This workshop offers an overview of our deep automatic primitive patterns that can affect our emotional resilience. Primitive reflexes are automatic, stereotyped movement patterns, directed by the brain stem. They are essential for a baby’s survival in the first few weeks of life. These networks provide rudimentary training for sensory processing, the ability to cope with stress and are the basis for postural stability that supports learning. If these reflex patterns did not integrate effectively, it can cause the nervous system to be sensitive, hypervigilant and at risk for self-regulation challenges. The great new is, the nervous system can change and grow even as an adult!

Workshop 5 – Change your Story – Change your Life
Self-talk matters. That said, it’s not always easy to find and use words that lift us up. In this workshop, we will explore possible blocks that can interfere with finding positive, integrative language and tools to shift the energy in our bodies and gain access to our more playful self.
