About the program
This is more than a class.
It’s a space to soften, to rest, to come home to yourself.
A space to connect deeply with your baby and be held in a circle of like-minded mothers.
Here, you’ll feel safe and supported—free to share your real experience and be met with warmth and understanding.
You’ll grow, learn, and build friendships that last beyond the course.
You’ll leave feeling more grounded, more connected—to yourself, your baby, and a village that holds you.
Nurture Neuroscience Circle is a series of Mommy & Me gatherings led by a certified Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner. Over 10 sessions, we explore essential topics that mothers and families need to foster lifelong health and well-being—for both babies and themselves.
Based on the bestselling book The Nurture Revolution by Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD, this course teaches the science and art of nurturing lifelong health. During the critical first 0–3 years, babies undergo rapid brain development. The nurturing environment we provide helps form brain circuits that support their mental and physical well-being for life. At the same time, mothers experience their own brain development. By nurturing maternal mental health, we strengthen the mother-baby bond and lay the foundation for a healthier future together.
What You’ll Get:
- Expert guidance with answers to your questions about baby and self-care
- A new topic and parenting practice each session
- Peer support from other mothers in your group during the course and through a private online community
What Happens in Each Class:
- A nourishing grounding practice for you
- A connection-building practice with your baby
- Learning a new health-promoting topic each week
- Space for sharing, asking questions, and receiving support
Topics We Cover:
- Infant brain development
- Parent brain development
- Growing your baby’s brain through relationships, communication and sleep
- Understanding your baby’s stress
- Easing stress for mothers
