For over 35 years, Jeannette Abshire has served as a passionate educator and coach for children, families and professionals of all ages (birth-adult) and all walks of life. With a M.A. in Educational Psychology and, as a licensed educational kinesiology (Brain Gym®) consultant/instructor Jeannette is an expert in the field of learning differences, sensory integration and drawing out the full potential of each individual through the use of brain integration and multi-sensory techniques fully supported by substantial research.
Jeannette also has a successful, positive track record training trainers, and many professionals to discover and express their “genius” or creative uniqueness and “gifts” in a fun, authentic and joyful way. Neuroscience and the biology and gifts of being “ human” remind us that when individuals and family units are honored and allowed to “be” themselves, a foundational safe space is created for deep, permanent relationships as well as deep, permanent shifts to occur.
My approach to empowering individuals, families and groups to reach optimal performance, well being and happiness in all areas of life centers on the importance of the development, growth and self knowledge of the whole person (physical, emotional and chronological age).
