BEING SEEN
MASTER BRAIN HEALTH IN THE DIGITAL AGE
I began as a pharmacist, but my sister’s mental health struggles led me to neuroscience, where I’ve learned how the brain’s potential or neuroplasticity can heal and grow.
Now, I’m focused on understanding how our experiences shape us, helping to break cycles of early life experiences and unlock the brain’s ability to thrive.
​
"Being Seen" was written after 30 years of research to offer a simple approach to parenting in the digital age. It blends neuroscience with practical guidance to enhance the mental well-being of our youth.

"Being Seen" is not just about limiting screen time but about understanding brain development and fostering resilience in our children. It is the book I needed when I had my children.
