Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind

Welcome! We invite you to experience a resilient and meaningful life with the brain in mind. The new discoveries of neuroscience, especially as spoken by interpersonal neurobiologists Daniel Siegel, Allan Schore, and Louis Cozolino, are opening doors of understanding and compassion for all of us. We at Nurturing the Heart are steeped in this interpersonal brain science, sharing it to support clinicians and healthcare professionals - parents, children, and seniors - teachers and students, through consultations, trainings, conference speaking, retreats, psychotherapy support, and parenting - with the brain in mind. 

Bonnie Badenoch, co-founder of Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind, is author of Being a Brain-Wise Therapist: A Practical Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology.

 "Being a Brain-Wise Therapist is filled with the wisdom of a seasoned front-line therapist who writes like a poet and understands science as if she were a full-time academician."

Daniel Siegel, foreword

Released in 2011!
