Using a whole-child approach founded in neuroscience and best practices in social-emotional development, Jennifer helps students uncover their strengths and develop life-long skills to prepare them for their academic journey. Her core philosophy is one based on connection, as learning happens from the inside out.

She also co-founded Tech-Wise Littles, a parenting resource to help families create healthy tech boundaries. She’s spoken at TEDx Santa Barbara and has been featured on national podcasts such as BeWellByKelly and BDA Baby with Kathryn Schwarzenegger.

here to help you thrive

NeuroTHRIVE can help.

Find your child’s superpower

Every person was born with a gift and calling. Uncovering that passion early (and protecting it) is paramount to my work. That’s why I specialize in ages 12-20, those critical years of identity formation that carry kids through life.

Build their confidence and ease their anxiety

Today’s students suffer unprecedented pressure which interrupts their innate confidence. With my training in somatic education, I help students center and utilize whole-body approaches to academics that keep them in the winning lane.

Remedy their academic struggles

Whether your child has difficulty reading or writing or perhaps disorganization and procrastination causes them (and you) pain, I’ve got a toolkit for them. Obstacles are meant to be overcome. Turn your child’s struggle into their strength.

Because learning should be joyful.

Through discipline comes freedom.
