Deborah McNelis, M.Ed

Creating the essential awareness of the incredible opportunity we have to influence positive outcomes through nurturing babies in the first 60 days, is done through easily dispelling common myths and replacing them with science based information in understandable language. I refer to this as "neuro-nurturing knowledge."

In addition to providing need nurturing for babies, a focus to promote the need for support of new parents and caregivers during this significantly important time is of equal importance.

The needed difference happens through a caring community of sharing.
