A dysregulated nervous system doesn’t just affect your body…it changes how your brain processes stress, attention, emotions, and mental energy. Many people experience this as brain fog, overwhelm, irritability, or difficulty focusing. Understanding what’s happening in the brain is the first step toward supporting it. 🧠 Comment “SYSTEMRESET” and we’ll send you natural ways to support focus, stress resilience, and mental clarity. #brainhealth #mentalhealth #stress #nervoussystem #focus brainfog

Your thoughts, emotions, motivation, and behaviour are influenced by tiny chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. From dopamine-driven reward seeking to serotonin’s role in emotional balance, these brain chemicals shape how we experience the world.

Have your kid name their anxiety. Like an actual name. Gerald. Karen. Jessica. Because once it has a name it is not your kid anymore. It is a thing happening to your kid. Completely different problem. And then they get to yell at it. GET OUT OF HERE GERALD!! This creates distance between your kid and the feeling, which is the whole game with anxiety. Also, it is very hard to be completely consumed by something you are also laughing at. Gerald’s eviction notice leaves room for every other emotion your kid has been sitting on. Name it. Yell at it. Make room. Get your butt to my free workshop, April 28, for all the good, weird tips that actually work! Link in bio or DM me COMPASS for a spot!

You Have Literally Stones Inside Your Head 🪨🧠 Deep inside your inner ear, hidden within microscopic chambers, lie tiny calcium carbonate crystals called otoconia — and they are the reason you can tell which way is up. These miniature geological formations are embedded in a gel-like membrane inside the utricle and saccule, two small fluid-filled pouches of the vestibular system. When your head moves or tilts, the crystals shift under the force of gravity and press against specialized hair cells beneath them. Those hair cells then send signals to your brain, allowing it to calculate your body's orientation in space — in real time, constantly, without you ever thinking about it. Otoconia are made of calcite, the same mineral found in limestone and chalk, and measure just three to thirty micrometres in length. Each human ear contains hundreds of thousands of them. They begin forming before birth and gradually change in density and shape over a lifetime. When these crystals become dislodged and migrate into the wrong canal, the result is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) — a condition that causes sudden, disorienting spins with even the slightest head movement. It is one of the most common causes of vertigo worldwide. Your sense of balance is, quite literally, built on stone. Sources: Purves, D. et al. Neuroscience. 3rd ed. Sinauer Associates, 2004.

Left-Brain Schools in a Right-Brain World: Lack of Play in Schools, Rise in Learning Delays - Integrated Learning Strategies Left-Brain Schools in a Right-Brain World: Lack of Play in Schools, Rise in Learning Delays

A Study Skills Course Designed around your child's Brain
Grade 4 - 8
What makes this course truly different?
Before we even begin, each child completes an individual Brain Dominance Profile. This allows your child to understand how their brain naturally learns best — and then build their understanding around that.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to learning.
Through a neuroscience-informed approach, your child will develop:
An understanding of how learning actually happens
Strong internal drive (not just pressure from the outside)
Personalised study methods aligned to their brain profile
Effective memory techniques
Clear goal-setting skills to build motivation
Practical strategies to improve reading and understanding
Tools to manage exam and test anxiety
Many teenagers struggle not because they lack ability, but because they’ve never been shown how to learn in a way that suits them.
This course meets them exactly where they are — whether they feel:
Overwhelmed (“There’s just too much!”)
Pressured (“My marks count now…”)
Disengaged (“I’m not worried…”)
I help them move from confusion and stress… to clarity,
confidence, and control.
Cost: R3200 per child
💡 Payment option available: 2 instalments (May–June)
Special Rate:
If your child has completed a Brain Dominance Profile with Train the Brain Therapy within the last 12 months, the cost is R2900 per child (report required).
Date: Every Wednesday in May -- 6, 13, 20 & 27th
Time: 17h30 – 19h30
Where: 90 Danville Ave, Glenashley
WhatsApp 0741012616 for booking details.
