Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD, is a neuroscientist, doula and educator who empowers nurtured parenting, disrupts modern parenting practices to begin new cycles of intergenerational wellness. She is on a mission to revolutionize the future of health and it all begins at the beginning of life. Greer spent many years studying the brain in a lab and many years using her knowledge while supporting families as a doula. She wants families and perinatal practitioners to understand how caregivers can boost success, thriving, and flourishing, and diminish depression, anxiety, and addiction in adulthood by shaping babies' brains through simple intuitive enriching experiences in pregnancy, birth, and infancy.
"Dr. Kirshenbaum debunks some of the most prevalent and pervasive
myths about babies that most of us don't even know we
subconsciously hold. With the most current neuroscientific
research, she shows parents how nurturing provides the main
ingredients for optimal brain development in infants. Furthermore,
she shows how infant development from 0-3 years might be the place
we can have the most impact on creating a culture of empathy and
resilience that is so desperately needed in these times."--Kimberly
Ann Johnson, author of the Fourth Trimester and Call of the
Wild
"Dr Kirshenbaum as a neuroscientist, and Greer as a mother, weaves
an inspiring narrative about the developing brains of both baby and
parents. These insights regarding the latest research of
neurobiology and concepts like "nurtured empathy" are gold. The
Nurture Revolution offers an inspiring approach for parents to
navigate both the early days and early years of parenthood."--Dr.
Oscar Serrallach MBChB, FRACGP, integrative GP at The Health Lodge,
author of The Postnatal Depletion Cure
"There is no more important job than nurtured parenting. Greer
Kirshenbaum is a unique scholar in infant neurobiology and mental
health, parent educator, and doula. In the first three years of
life, the infant's critical brain circuits are the most influenced
by parenting and experience. Dr. Kirshenbaum teaches us that
nurturing care has a dramatic effect on the infant's genetics,
stress system, resilience, and life-long health. Read this
book."--Beatrice Beebe, PhD, Clinical Professor of Psychology and
Psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center
"The Nurture Revolution provides parents with the knowledge,

"In this wonderful book, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum affirms the power of
nurture to positively impact the genetics and epigenetics of our
babies. She not only explains the research in ways that make it
easy for most parents to understand but shows how we can nurture
without worrying that we might not be 'enough' if our circumstances
aren't ideal. As Dr. Kirshenbaum says, 'by nurturing the baby in
front of us, we are nurturing the future health of humanity and the
planet.'"--Pinky McKay IBCLC, author, Parenting by Heart and

incredible importance and positive long-term consequences of being
present and attuned with the children in their lives."--Sat Dharam

"The Nurture Revolution is a must-read book for all caregivers. Dr.
Kirshenbaum eloquently and passionately takes a topic that can be
somewhat daunting - neuroscience - and simplifies it in a way that
everyone can understand. The ways in which we nurture our children

that grows a healthy, resilient brain that can navigate stress with
ease? The Nurture Revolution shows you exactly how to do just that
by breaking generational cycles and parenting through unconditional
love. This is a book your baby wants you to read! It is a
paradigm-shifter our culture has been waiting for."--Tracy Gillett,

brain structures, building a strong foundation for a secure life.
This book can improve your baby's mental and physical health,
whether you read it when you're pregnant, have a young baby, or
