THE BRAIN HEALTH MOVEMENT
Ground-breaking science. World-leading experts. Transformative education.
A drug-free, root-cause approach to whole-child healing.
Created by a parent, for parents and carers of children with neurological and related health challenges.
They bring the science. I bring the simplicity.
I take what they teach and translate it into bite-sized, step-by-step actions any parent can understand and use.
And because healing a child can feel impossibly lonely, we gather on regular live video calls — me, Connah, and a community of parents walking the same road — for a safe space to offload, share, listen, and feel supported.
No more piecing it together alone.
Here, you’ll never feel behind, never feel lost, and never have to Google in a hundred places again.
Hi, I’m Lucia — Founder of The Brain Health Movement and Mama to My Mighty Quinn.
Like so many families, we were lost in a maze of symptoms, confusion, and endless dead ends — desperate for answers that actually made sense.
I wasn’t scared it was too late — I was scared no one could explain what was happening or give me the roadmap I desperately needed.
That’s why I created this course.
So no parent has to piece it all together alone.
Inside, you’ll learn the essential building blocks of your child’s development — from birth trauma and primitive reflexes (those automatic baby movements that sometimes don’t switch off), to sleep, gut health, diet and nutrition, immunity, detox, screens, parenting, and even self-care.
Don’t worry if that sounds like a lot — every concept is explained simply, step by step. And the course is yours for a full year (or longer if you need it), so you’ll never feel rushed.

Here’s how the Roadmap answers what you’re really feeling.
“I don’t know where to start.”
→ Experts in the right sequence, so you’ll always know your next step.
“I get lost in the science.”
→ The experts bring the depth; I translate it into simple, doable actions.
“I don’t have time to keep up.”
→ Bite-sized, self-paced lessons.
No falling behind - ever.
“I’m tired of Googling and getting 100 different answers.”
→ Everything in one place. No contradictions. Just clarity.
“I'm scared I'll miss something important.”
→ This Roadmap leaves no stone unturned - from birth trauma, reflexes, and neurology to gut, detox, screens, and parenting — all covered, in the right order.
“I just want someone to listen who gets it.”
→ We meet on regular live video calls for support, connection, and community.

Are you Right for this Course?
This course is for you if you’re tired of chasing symptoms, Googling at 2am, and getting contradictory answers.
It’s for you if you want:
Clarity, not confusion
Healing beyond symptom management
World-class experts, made simple
Real support from a community who gets it
All the answers you need, in one place, in the right order.
If you want to know why there are so many children with developmental delays and challenges, if you seek to understand what is contributing to the skyrocketing rates of neurological and autoimmune disorders, then you are in the right place and it is time to take a hard look at how we are living in the modern world.
Our world is so different than the world our parents and grandparents grew up in and what we eat, breathe, think and do on a daily basis are profoundly impacting our children’s health.
If your child has a diagnosis or symptoms, you will soon find out that there are certain imbalances and immaturities in the body that may be preventing them from reaching their full potential.
The good news is that many of the “root causes” of these conditions are treatable, and the conditions are often reversible.

Dear Devoted Parents and Carers,
I have been there... I understand the feelings of helplessness, overwhelm, and constant worry that I also had for my son Quinn's worsening Tics, Distractedness, and Disconnection.
I found a science-based, drug free approach that is transforming him into a calmer, more confident, and connected child.
I spent over 5 years looking for answers and explanations and I don’t want you to have to do the same, when there is valuable information I can share and guide you to.
I see what’s happening to our kids:
They are struggling.
One in five children in every classroom has some sort of attention, learning, behaviour or developmental challenge.
They have gut problems, food allergies, struggles with anxiety, tics, eating, sleeping and more.
Our kids are suffering and conventional medicine is not giving us the answers we need.
And the educational establishment is simply applying more pressure.
It’s up to us.
We know our kids can get better. They just need the right tools and healing information.
They need you.
Whether you are a parent, carer, educator or practitioner, we are here for you.
In addition to my studies and training in this specialised area of child development, I have assembled a world-class team of paediatric neurologists and child health and developmental experts from the U.K., U.S. and beyond. They have a proven track record of success, positively impacting the lives of thousands of children.
Together, we provide the expertise and guidance needed for the parents and children who join me and The Brain Health Movement community on this Complete Course.
I intimately understand the challenges of being a working (single) mother myself and I have personally experienced the struggle, as well as the fantastic triumphs, resulting from the focus and necessary time required to deepen my understanding and implement the at-home programs and protocols that are transforming my child.
If I can commit to this work, so can you.
I’ve got you and we WILL see our children thrive!
Start today. Take a first step and enrol on The Complete Course, “Positive Transformation: A Whole Child Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing”.

Doctors, clinicians and therapists are invaluable — but nothing compares to the insight of a parent who’s lived it.
We know what it’s like behind closed doors: the meltdowns, the fear, the appointments, the school calls, the 2am spirals, and the never-ending to-do list. Whether you’re juggling work, caring for multiple kids, or doing it solo — we get it.
This course was created because it didn’t exist when we needed it most.
That’s why it’s designed not just to educate you — but to support you. With understanding. With compassion. And with ongoing live video calls every 6 weeks, so you always have a community walking beside you.
You’re not just learning from one practitioner. You’re learning from 17+ of the world’s most respected experts — brought together in one place, so you don’t have to keep chasing different opinions or booking endless consults.
From birth trauma and nervous system development to diet, detox, immunity and parenting — these are the voices shaping the future of child health.
And it’s not just who’s included — it’s how.
Each module builds on the last, giving you a clear sequence to follow — so you always know what matters most right now.
