Nurturing the parent-baby relationship from womb to world.

Science-backed support for sleep, well-being, and early development from Northeast Ohio's first Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner.

Parents cradling a newborn in their hands

Welcome To Nurtured NEO

Parent and babyhood are two of the most profound neurological transformations in life, yet most professionals aren’t trained to support it. These changes affect emotional regulation, empathy, memory, and identity. They shape how caregivers and babies respond to one another, bond together, and form lifelong patterns of connection.

Despite the magnitude of these shifts, they're often overlooked in support systems and resources for new parents. This creates a gap - where well-meaning caregivers are lost in the sea of noise that tells them to ignore their intuition, insists that being responsive creates "bad habits," and disregards how a nurturing, regulated presence shapes your baby's developing brain.

Nurture Neuroscience™ bridges that gap — translating neuroscience into practical, compassionate support for families with babies. Nurtured NEO brings Nurture Neuroscience™ to life with curated circle classes in the Greater Cleveland area and 1:1 custom sleep support available virtually.

Trained by neuroscientists Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum - best-selling author of the Nurture Revolution and Dr. Rocío Zunini, Nutured NEO offers research-based resources, programming, and consults grounded in developmental neuroscience, attachment science, psychobiology, and stress physiology.

Through workshops, group circles, and 1:1 sleep support, I provide loving and compassionate support for families focused on:

  • Brain development in infancy

  • Parent brain development

  • The neuroscience of early relationships

  • Stress system development

  • Infant sleep from a neurodevelopmental lens

  • Nervous system regulation

My goal as a practitioner is to:

  • Support you and your baby's well-being as you navigate identity shifts, emotional intensity, and vulnerability

  • Deepen your ability to foster strong, secure parent–infant bonds during the most sensitive developmental window

  • Help you navigate your family's rest and sleep challenges through responsive sleep support grounded in brain development, co-regulation, and stress system development.

Parent + Baby Brain Science to Support Your Family

Nurtured Sleep Consults for Whole-Family Rest

Are you a parent of a 0-3 year old who is experiencing sleep struggles? Work with me to tune out the noise that is the world of sleep training and tune into your innate wisdom, nervous system, and a personalized look at your baby's needs.

Grounded in Peer-Reviewed Research

My work translates peer-reviewed research in developmental neuroscience, attachment science, psychobiology, and physiology into loving and compassionate support for families.

Relationship-Centered Support

As a Nurture Neuroscience™ Practitioner, I understand how the many factors of caregiving environments shape both the infant and parental brains, and I work with sensitivity and respect for each family's context.

Nurtured NEO believes in science-backed strategies and support for lifelong mental health from womb to world.
