Jenn brings a deep understanding of brain-based learning to her practice, empowering students to harness the power of neuroplasticity as their greatest asset. Her methodology is grounded in the science of how our brains adapt and grow, helping students recognize that their behaviors can be intentionally shaped to enhance well-being, resilience, and lifelong learning.
