Find a Body to Brain Learning @ School (B2BL@S) Regional Facilitator in your area
B2BL@S starts with a simple but profound question:
"What does this child's body and nervous system still need to better support their learning?"
Rather than managing behaviour or layering on more intervention and supports, we go to the root.
Simple, evidence-informed developmental movement activities, embedded in everyday classroom routines, that build the neurological foundations learning actually depends on. Activities that are the curriculum, not tacked on to it.

Meet the B2BL@S leadership team:
Dr Christine Payard
Director and Founder of Body to Brain Learning @ School
Christine is a Neurodevelopmental Educator and Practitioner with more than 30 years across all sectors of education, a PhD in teacher professional learning, and former Clinical Director and Instructor of the INPP method in Australia. She developed B2BL@S because she was looking for an answer mainstream education couldn't provide: Why do some children face persistent challenges with learning, attention, and regulation — and why does so little of what is tried actually resolve them?
The answer lies in the developing nervous system — and in giving educators the knowledge to see it. B2BL@S is what happens when research in neurodevelopment meets practice, and keeps meeting the needs of children and teachers in our schools.

Tegan Davis-Piacentini
WA Body to Brain Learning @ School Principal
Tegan brings more than 20 years in education as both a classroom teacher and Primary School Principal, combined with specialist training as a Neurodevelopmental Practitioner. She knows what it takes to run a school — the competing priorities, the staff pressures, the relentless pace — and she has led a neurodevelopmental approach to learning from inside that reality, not from outside it.
That's what makes her perspective distinctive: she hasn't just seen what happens when a child's body and nervous system aren't ready to support what the classroom is asking of them — she has introduced this neurodevelopmental approach and supported teachers to address the issues, without adding extra work.

Kellie Bentley
NSW Body to Brain Learning @ School Principal
Kellie brings 20 years in education as a classroom teacher, special programs teacher, and learning support coordinator, combined with extensive training as a neurodevelopmental therapist and reflex integration practitioner. She knows the inside of a school support system — and she knows how often it isn't enough.
More than 10 years ago Kellie began questioning why more and more children were struggling academically, socially, and emotionally — and went looking for answers in the neuroscience of learning.
What she found changed everything about how she works.
