Hi, I'm Janine,

Leading the Way

My initiatives and programs have all been on the leading edge of scientific discoveries and education trends.

With my independent research delving into the sometimes complex fields of neuro science, alternative health, spirituality, psychology, neurobiology, physiology, philosophy and human potential, my challenge has been to combine all of this information with the simplicity and clarity of Primary School teaching, to create relevant, practical and easy to implement programs.

On my journey to achieving this so far I have:
  • Pioneered of the use of Brain Gym and Educational Kinesiology in around 40 Primary Schools in the Sandhurst Diocese, Victoria, during the 1990s
  • Co-written a resource in 1994 entitled,  Strategies for a Positive Classroom and School
  • Had a  Personal Development Resource for teachers  to teach Positive Thinking and Goal Setting to students- Positive and Powerful,  published in 1995 (Published by User Friendly Resources)
  • Used Brain Gym and Kinesiology to make significant improvements in the learning and behaviour of at risk students from MacKillop Family Services in Geelong, victoria in 1999 and 2000
  • Formulated a Kinesiology and Literacy program to address the illiteracy rates of Juvenile Justice clients in Geelong, Victoria,  in 2001
  • Written 3 children’s books based on the principles of neuroplasticity, psychoneuroimmunology and mindfulness in 2010,
  • · Introduced the  Take A Breather  initiative in July 2012, 
  • ·Started conducting school incursions – Having a Healthy Mind in 2014
  • ·Developed the Deficit Restore Process to help students overcome learning difficulties in 2014
