Academy of Neurodevelopmental Practices

03/08/2026

The mission of The Academy of Neurodevelopmental Practices is to help practitioners recognize the chemical, physical, emotional, mental, and electrical stressors that burden the nervous system and shape the neurobiology of disease across generations. By learning how to decompress these burdens, practitioners can help the nervous system regain balance so that innate intelligence can express itself more fully and support the body’s natural capacity for healing. 🙌

When I knew that I would be spending most of the month of February in New Zealand 🇳🇿, I thought that it would be fun to invite members of my Academy of Neurodevelopmental Practices to join me for a three-day private retreat 😲 I knew that it was a ‘big ask’ as it’s a long way to go, however, I knew that it would be a magical and profound experience! 💥✨

When my dear friend, Heidi Haavik offered her time and brilliance to the group, it only became that much more profound‼️🙌

Thus, was born our FIRST international THE Ultimate Elite Retreat! 🥳⛱️ Yes…..the crew is already planning more international adventures! 😉

Deep conversations, deep dive learning and nerding out, reviewing research, research dreams and plans, lots of laughs and, above all, lots of LOVE! 💜

So incredibly grateful for this amazing crew of friends and can not wait for what lies ahead‼️💃

Why chronic subluxation patterns might be hard to clear and why this might lead to a disorganized nervous system 🤔

How Kids' Neuro Outcomes Compare After Forceps, Vacuum, or Second-Stage C-Section 😉

"In kids followed up to 22 years of age, those born via sequential instrument delivery (failed vacuum followed by forceps) had slightly higher rates of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared with children born via SSCD (7.9 vs 6.6 per 1,000 person-years; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.13, 95% CI 1.00-1.28). And those born via vacuum delivery had a slightly higher rate of intellectual disability (ID) compared with SSCD deliveries (0.3 vs 0.2 per 1,000 person-years; aHR 1.53, 95% CI 1.12-2.10)."

"Our findings are reassuring overall" 🤔

Small differences found, but researchers said these should be interpreted with caution

I've had several people reach out to ask where I will be lecturing in 2026 🙃 Here's my schedule to date (Fall schedule is still coming). Can't wait to connect with some of you throughout the year!! 🥰

I have some other exciting things I'll be weaving in between events- stay tuned! 😲😂

We cover so much about the potential long-term effects of neurofascial restrictions, such as TOTS, in our Academy of Neurodevelopmental Practices programs. It's not just about breastfeeding or speech! There are so many other things to consider. Much more on this coming in 2026!! 😉🤩

Exactly as I had anticipated and starting speaking about in April of 2020......

In our next Grand Rounds class in developingMINDS, we will discuss the latest findings on COVID exposure in utero and neurodevelopmental outcomes, along with key nutrients and labs to address Long-COVID! 🙌💥

A C677T mutation of MTHFR reduces the enzymatic activity by approximately 35% per T allele, and an A1298C mutation reduces the enzymatic activity by approximately 20 %per C allele.
A new study examined four levels of MTHFR function and ASD severity. They found that lower MTHFR activity was associated with increased severity of ASD symptoms. Exploring the enzymatic activity of MTHFR may be a beneficial biomarker for early screening and tailoring targeted interventions during early neurodevelopment.

HOWEVER, you should NEVER TREAT THE GENE by throwing methylfolate at a person with a MTHFR mutation! It's essential to support the individual and their personal biochemistry to optimize gene expression!! 😲

As one who has MTHFR mutations and who has been teaching this work for two decades, I've seen so many people crash and burn when they think adding methylfolate (or methylated B vits) is the answer! 😆
