Nurture Neuroscience® is the work of Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD and is the study of how early life experiences, relationships, and environments shape brain development and emotional well-being. It explores the connection between caregiving, attachment, and neural growth, emphasizing the role of supportive interactions in fostering resilience, mental health, and cognitive development.
Nurture Neuroscience® turns neuroscience into accessible, evidence-based guidance for parenting. It emphasizes that nurturing care—from infancy through early childhood—not only shapes brain structure but also supports parents in showing up with confidence, regulation, and connection.
This approach provides families with both the science and the practical tools they need to raise emotionally thriving children and live with more grounded joy and resilience.

Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies are body-centered practices, such as yoga, that help individuals connect with their physical sensations to manage stress, process emotions, and restore balance. These strategies focus on increasing body awareness, regulating the nervous system, and fostering resilience through movement, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques.
Somatic work empowers children and families to experience safety not just cognitively, but felt in the body. When the body feels safe, the heart opens—and the nervous system can rest, grow, and connect.
These strategies aren’t just tools—they’re invitations to come home to ourselves and to one another.
