I am enrolled in the Nurture Neuroscience professional certification and am blown away by what I am learning. I have learned so much of the science on infant sleep and how the brain works. This information is so important to help mothers! I am so thankful I took this training and hope to help many mamas!

I highly recommend the Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner Certification Course led by neuroscientists Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum and Dr. Rocio Zunini. For anyone wishing to further develop their professional practice with parents and babies in the first three years of life, this course provides a comprehensive foundation in the most recent studies of the neurobiology and brain science of the developing infant's first three years. This research is woven together with an overview of attachment theory, parental attunement and coregulation, and practices for engaged and sensitive parenting in such a way that loving nurture becomes the very heart of this course. It provides a brilliant blending of an evidence based approach to parenting with an abundance of practical, compassionate and supportive best practices for parents. As a practitioner you will be equipped with many tools to help support parents in providing a foundation of nurture for a lifetime of mental and physical wellness for their developing child.This course is also an amazing resource for parents, grandparents and caregivers who may not be working in a professional setting, but who wish to enrich their understanding of infant development.

When I became a mom, I realized there was so much I didn’t understand or know about infants. As an educator and committed lifelong learner I was determined to educate myself so I could provide the best care for my son. When I first read The Nurture Revolution, my mind was literally blown. I felt so passionate about spreading Dr. Greer’s research and information with everyone in my life. I joined this certification program so that I could confidently and professionally educate caregivers about the benefits of extravagant nurture and care on their little one’s stress system, mental and physical health.There is a lot of mental illness and addiction in my immediate family i.e. depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. I have gained such a deep understanding of the inter generational effects of low nurture, reactive stress systems and insecure/avoidant attachment styles within my own family system. I feel blessed to have the tools to break these generational curses for my children and to heal my ancestors from the trauma they’ve encountered due to a lack of education and resources. It only takes one person and I hope to inspire many parents to be that ‘one’. Providing nurture is preventative medicine and our future generations depend on this.This course has given me the courage and tools to speak with confidence and passion when informing others on the benefits of nurtured parenting. The Nurture Revolution practitioner program is based on developmental research and with my new knowledge, I feel I can share this information in a calm and matter of fact way.When working with caregivers and children, I now have the ability to look at a child or parent with a deeper, more holistic lens. For example, if a child is experiencing frequent night wakes, we can discuss a wide variety of factors that could be influencing their wakes. Such as airway issues, separation anxiety, nutrition, circadian rhythm, etc. I feel prepared and confident to make referrals to other professionals who could better support these possible influencing factors.If you are considering joining this course, you will not regret it! Greer and Rocio have been the most informative, supportive and kind instructors. I feel so prepared to start my business because of the rich learning experiences they have provided. You will also gain the support from your classmates who bring their own experiences and knowledges to support one another.

This program and movement is so beautiful... and the training that NN provides is exceptional!! I truly feel so lucky to be part of something truly powerful that will make such a positive impact on pregnancy and parenting in our culture for generations to come. I can't recommend this community, this training, the book, all of it, highly enough!!!

2025-06-11T15:19:16.720Z

I enjoyed and gained from every moment of the training to become a nurture neuroscience practitioner. It was a soothing, healing experience rooted in science backed practical information. I learned so much and the knowledge is transformative and has positively influenced my own mothering deeply and has enabled my connection with my babies to deepen to a new level. I see how my baby that I used this approach on is really really special.d

I set up my business North Star Nurture during my training and I have never looked back!! Everything in my heart body and soul told me to go for this certification and I am so so happy I did! I have never felt this fulfilled and passionate about my direction in life! I'm on week 11 of 12, of my Mummy and Me circle class and I literally have no words for how special and magical and powerful how needed this circle class is! The work Greer and Rocio have put in really shows (understatement!!) . Thank you both endlessly xx

I was in the first cohort and as an engineer, entrepreneur(Oneberrie) and mom of 3; I can tell you first hand that it doesn't matter what path you are on, or where you came from; NURTURE NEUROSCIENCE is for everyone looking for a different way to understand, trust and parent their children while re-parenting themselves. We are a culmination of our experiences and the first 1000 days are the most profound. The world needs to know - our kids deserve to be raised in nurture.

2025-06-10T22:37:25.874Z

I was part of the first cohort of this training - I couldn’t speak more highly about it! I have since set up my own sleep coaching business, empowered with the knowledge I learnt from Rocio and Greer. They are both extremely supportive and responsive to any queries we may have. They are also both, of course, incredibly knowledgeable and I feel so confident knowing the practice I’m sharing is thoroughly researched and evidence-based.

2025-06-07T10:52:30.591Z

I recommend this course to everyone looking to gain more knowledge and overall understanding on how nurture shapes babies' brains, how parenthood can transform people and to learn about infant sleep from the neuroscience anchored perspective.It's likely one of the most generous platforms currently available as the resources, speakers and overall support constantly grows!I have received more support, knowledge and resources than I expected.Our mentors Greer and Rocío have been available since day 1 in supporting our personal and professional growth, while the peer support plays a major role, too.I feel so lucky to have been a part of the first cohort! I am now starting to support parents through 1on1 sessions and I plan to expand my practice in the future.

Greer was my incredible birth doula who supported me pre and postnatally. I have so many great things to say about Greer but one thing that is especially unique about her is her strong scientific background. As a neuroscientist who is passionate about promoting positive mental health in the womb and beyond, I found her evidence-based approach and suggestions practical, helpful and successful. During my pregnancy, she led a highly informative workshop that discussed the importance of maintaining good mental health during pregnancy and provided a number of useful strategies that I was easily able to implement. Greer taught me how conduct meditative breathing exercise before and during my pregnancy, which not only kept myself calm during labour but also physically helped me a great deal during the actual birth. She also informed me about the value of promoting early literacy, language and communication in the womb. Every night, I would read my son a few of the same stories in the womb and when he was born, I continued with it and incredibly he responds to the familiar tales! As an educator myself, I really respected how Greer used science and well documented studies to back up her methods. At the same time, she carries no judgement and is not dogmatic in her approach. She really works with her clients' needs, comfort levels and respects their boundaries while providing the best support she can for them. I now have an incredible 8 month old son who is the happiest person I've ever met! He's calm, secure and content and no doubt it's due to all of Greer's support. I would definitely recommend Greer as a birth doula - she is highly qualified, sensitive and responsive.

My experience with having children and attempting to foster positive development has been the full range of emotions. Having a trusted professional like Greer Kirshenbaum as part of my community has been an invaluable resource and she is someone I feel comfortable speaking to about all things related to my parenting and my children's development. She has provided me with knowledge, confidence in my abilities and has assisted in creating my "toolkit" that equips me to be a father to my children and partner to my wife. Greer has always been supportive and encouraged me to trust my intuition. I have had the opportunity to be a part of workshops on brain health and pregnancy with my partner and I came away with more scientific based information and a better understanding of how I can positively affect my children's development.

I recently had the opportunity to attend a workshop presented by Greer on Infant Brain Health and I believe the information she shared is vitally important for anyone who cares about the wellbeing of children and the adults they will become. In my work as a Mental Health Counsellor and Psychotherapist-In-Training I hear a familiar story from my clients again and again: even though they had parents who loved them and were certainly doing their best, the client did not experience adequately attuned, responsive, and nurturing care, and that has continued to have a negative impact on their mental health and wellbeing into adulthood, often leading to depression, anxiety, difficulties in relationships, and struggles with a negative sense of self. When I attended Greer’s workshop I was thinking of my clients and the conversations we’ve had drawing connections between lack of parental nurturing and current mental health difficulties. I was also thinking of my own young daughter and my desire to parent her in a way that will support her emotional wellbeing and minimize the influence of my own family history of mental illness. I found all of what Greer covered in her workshop to be valuable in my roles as both a therapist and parent. Greer was able to take evidence-based information about brain health and development throughout pregnancy, birth and infancy, and relay it in a way that was accessible and easy-to-understand. I believe that most everyone who works with and cares for children desires to do so in a way that fosters emotional wellbeing, resilience, empathy, and mental health. Greer’s workshop provided myself and other parents, caregivers, and professionals with a rich, strong foundation of knowledge that I’m certain will help us all to meet that goal. As a parent, I felt affirmed in tuning into my instincts, and reassured in knowing that my nurturing care is supporting the healthy development of my daughter’s brain and providing what Greer calls “preventative medicine” to protect against mental illness. In addition to providing information about brain development and functioning, Greer offered practical applications of that information and clearly outlined a multitude of ways that parents and caregivers can support babies’ brain health. I especially appreciated her addressing issues that I know are pressing to many parents of young children — including sleep and discipline. The information in Greer’s workshop is the foundation of human wellbeing, and is stuff everyone should know, especially those who work with families and parents expecting a baby. The workshop was interactive, engaging, and applicable to diverse family structures and circumstances, and Greer’s presence is warm and inviting. It was truly a pleasure to learn from her. I left the workshop feeling informed and empowered as both a professional and a parent.

I recently had the opportunity to participate in Greer’s infant workshop and I’m so grateful! Greer presents her suggestions and strategies based on scientific facts! The workshop provides the results from many studies and links them to infant growth and development. Greer presents the information in way that is engaging and understandable. I learned a lot about how and when a baby’s brain develops. This information will greatly influence the choices that I make when raising my daughter to ensure she has good brain health and to try to build resiliency and prevent mental health disorders. I really liked that this workshop was non-judgemental and gave me a variety of strategies to keep in my parenting toolbox. Thank you to Greer and Nurture Neuroscience for this amazing workshop!

I didn’t consider myself ready to become a parent. My wife had lots of little nieces and nephews around and was more acclimatized to raising kids. I was wholly nervous that I literally would not know what to do; I was right, I had no idea. But then, by lucky happenstance, Greer came into our lives and I will forever be grateful for her profound and positive presence. There is an overwhelming physiological relaxation in listening and chatting with Greer. She has a background in neuroscience and understands the nurturing element of being a doula. Any question I had, she was fully versed in the answer, and if she was slightly unsure, would come back to us the next day with a mountain of research and options. Honestly, I can’t think of a better combination for a person to help my wife and I bring a child into this world. Greer is calm, pleasant and incredibly knowledgeable. She was there every step of the way in our delivery room and made everything easier. We had a point-by-point birth plan which Greer a advocated to the hospital and OBGYN. Our minds were racing with a million other thoughts, I’m not sure we would have had such a pleasant experience without her. Our Son is the most wonderfully happy, loving and unique person I could have imagined. I know for a fact that Greer’s patience, calm, breadth of knowledge and warm and fun spirit helped him flourish. To this day we continue a strong bond with Greer because she is part of our family. Raising a child is wonderful and completely overwhelming. We think we know everything about our kids and how to raise them, but anything can happen, and in times of panic or just ensuring full preparedness – things can be very difficult. Please help yourself and your child by bringing Greer into your lives. It will be the best decision you will ever make for your family.

When my partner initially told me that she wanted a doula, after looking up the word, I had my reservations. I was concerned for both my partner and my baby that she would not be as medically eductaed as a doctor or not properly take care of us through the process. I was 100% wrong. Greer was absolutely amazing to work with, both in how she educated and cared for my partner and also how she dealt with me as a perspective new dad. She held both our hands through every step of the pregnancy since the day she started working with us. Her advice was invaluable even during the times that she wasn’t present and when it came time to have the baby she guided us when it was needed and cared for all three of us almost like a loving mother would. Every birthing couple is different and some fathers want to be very involved, where as others may not. Greer was accommodating to what ever our needs were. I personally wanted to be very involved and by my partners side and she knew when the moment was to step back to allow me to be the primary caregiver while still guiding both of us when needed. I can’t stress enough how incredible it was to have her there through our miracle.

2017-08-08T21:28:57.000Z

In my birthing experience I wanted to feel powerful, free of fear, positive, and present in every moment. Because of Greer I was able to have that exact experience. Greer guided me and prepared me for this journey in the most gentle yet empowering way. Her knowledge, care and attention were unparalleled. I had some bumps along the way in my pregnancy and Greer was there as a shoulder, and as a well of knowledge to provide options and advice. I began having contractions at 2AM and she responded immediately to my text. She was at my door five minutes after I asked her to come over (it was about 7AM and way too early, yet she never said a word) and hung out with me and my husband all day until it was time to go to hospital around 8PM. I had the unique experience of having a nurse who was new to this profession and a doctor who had to be in two places at once (he had another patient delivering at the same exact time!). Knowing that Greer was there by my side was incredibly comforting. She massaged me, walked with me, and helped me change positions. Greer encouraged me to embrace my inner strength to bring my little baby boy in to this world. She brings so much light and love to what she does that you cannot help but feel so taken care of, free of worry and able to embrace every second. I am so incredibly grateful that I was lucky enough to have Greer as my doula throughout this journey.

My experience with Greer has been beyond exceptional. She is a kind, caring and extremely knowledgable woman whose resources and ideas were integral to both of my pregnancies. Greer made me feel confident and competent and supported me throughout the process from conception to birth and beyond. Greer is always available and ready when I have a question or concern and she explains big concepts in ways that are relatable and approachable for me as a mom.

2017-06-26T01:07:59.000Z

Greer walking into our apartment felt like a warm blanket on a cold day. We were so amazed at her knowledge and insight on brain development and the early stages. She gave us so much information on our baby's physical development and psychological needs and capacity. She was so understanding with our point of view and lifestyle and really meshed in with us like a sister or best buddy. She simply and wonderfully joined us as we nurtured our little unborn baby and gave us great advice and helpful resources. We were so lucky to have such a helpful fairy god mother. Big hugs to you Greer! :) Sheldon Steinbach

Greer, has been a huge support to my family since our daughter was born in October 2015. I felt so comfortable asking questions about what I was personally going through in the days, weeks, months and year after having my daughter. Greer continued to be there for me, as not only a support but also as my guru in many ways. She helped me understand the developmental stages my daughter was going through. I have always felt comfortable asking any question as Greer is not judgmental in the least. She is very easy to talk to and a very good listener. Greer is basically my "go to book" for my daughter's first year and her knowledge has saved me from reading lots of different books when I have been too exhausted to do so. Her knowledge and reassurance helped get me through my first year with my daughter and she continues to help, as my daughter is becoming a very independent toddler. Most importantly Greer's support has always helped me understand myself, my daughter and devise a plan with whatever issue we were dealing with at the time, whether it was nighttime sleep, naps, attachment style parenting, or developmental leaps.
