One of the students gifted me a 3D printed sensory homunculus, a fascinating map of how the brain represents our body.
It’s a reminder that these events aren’t just about science, but also connection, collaboration, and building bridges across cultures.

I'm in Shanghai, China teaching "A Brain-Based Approach to Mental Health" to medical staff and private practitioners from across China discussing how neuromodulation, vestibular therapies, and brain regulation can complement traditional care.

Beyond pharmaceuticals and psychology, brain-based management focuses on neuromodulation tools like TMS, tDCS, and vestibular therapies.

These methods help regulate the nervous system, open new treatment pathways, and support both children and adults with mental health challenges.

I’m in Shanghai, China this week teaching a 3-day intensive on functional neurology and brain-based management for anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.

The event has brought together medical professionals and private practitioners from across China to learn how neuromodulation, vestibular therapies, and brain regulation can complement conventional care and expand treatment options.

At Brain Hub Kids, we use photobiomodulation—also known as laser therapy—as part of our child-focused, brain-based care approach.

This gentle, non-invasive therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the nervous system and support the brain’s natural ability to heal, regulate, and grow. It can help:
🧠 Support brain function and sensory regulation
💤 Assist with fatigue, brain fog, and recovery from developmental delays
🔁 Enhance neuroplasticity and learning
⚡ Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
💪 Promote cellular repair and overall wellbeing

It’s one of the many tailored tools we use to support kids in feeling better, learning better, and thriving in everyday life.

📚 Have you read Disconnected Kids by Dr Robert Melillo?

We highly recommend it to all parents before their child begins a treatment plan at Brain Hub Kids. It’s an accessible, eye-opening guide to understanding how brain imbalances can affect behaviour, learning, and development—and what can be done to help.

If you're curious about the science behind our approach, this book is a fantastic place to start. It lays the groundwork for the personalised, brain-based care we provide every day.

Does your child fidget, toe-walk, or struggle with handwriting? These could be signs of retained primitive reflexes 🧠👣

In our latest blog, we break down four common reflexes you can test for at home — including what to look for and when to seek support.

Understanding these early reflexes can offer important clues into your child’s development, behaviour, and coordination.

Primitive reflexes are automatic movements developed in the womb and early infancy. As your child grows, these reflexes should naturally integrate into the nervous system — making way for more advanced motor, cognitive, and behavioural skills.

Over the weekend, Dr Carlo Rinaudo had the honour of teaching on paediatric neurodevelopment in Tokyo over the weekend, sharing his expertise with a room full of passionate and dedicated practitioners. 🇯🇵 The energy, curiosity, and commitment to advancing brain-based care in Japan was truly inspiring.
