Hello!
I’m Rocío (pronounced Roseeo).
As a mom and a passionate neuroscientist, I believe that understanding and applying the incredible power of the parental brain can transform the lives of parents everywhere. With this course, you’ll unlock the secrets of this amazing science and take your practice to a whole new level!
My own journey as a parent and scientist has shown me just how transformative this knowledge can be. That’s why I’m so excited to share it with you and help you harness the power of the parental brain.
If you’re ready to join me on this incredible journey of discovery and growth, then let’s get started! I can’t wait to share all of the insights and knowledge that have made such a difference in my own life and in the lives of countless other parents.
Here is what is waiting for you inside
A program that teaches you the nine principles of how the parental brain works to then apply them to your practice, elevate your impact and do justice to what you are called to do in your practice.
The Parental Brain Way
Unlike any other certification out there, this course is exclusively focused on the incredible journey that parents go through and how understanding their brain can help them flourish.
The groundbreaking principles you’ll learn in this course will allow you to bring a new level of understanding to your practice and transform the lives of the families you work with.
Thanks to my neuroscience background and training, I have synthesized hundreds of scientific papers and translated them into everyday language, so that you can benefit from the latest research without the struggle of deciphering academic jargon.
You’ll have a wealth of information and resources at your fingertips so that science serves its ultimate purpose of making life –in this case, parenting—meaningful, joyful, and easier for your clients!
