The Brain Body Approach provides programs with a neuro-centric approach for rehabilitation, pain relief, and performance enhancement
Neuroscience is at the frontier of giving us the evidence and knowledge to understanding what our individual brains and bodies need to be healthy, to learn and grow, to reach decisions, promote creative thinking, adapt and change, feel safe, develop emotional resilience and remain focused.
We are our brain. The experiences we have had and how we perceive those experiences influence our “output.” But also vital is the quality of inputs to the brain. These allow the brain to make fast, quick, reasonable decisions! Poor quality information leads to less confidence, slower reaction times, autonomic issues, injury, and pain, to name just a few!
I get this question a lot: “Who is neuro for?” Neuro – short for neuroplasticity “brain change” – is for everyone. The importance of neuroplasticity can’t be overstated: It means that it is possible to change dysfunctional patterns of thinking and behaving and to develop new mindsets, new memories, new skills, and new abilities.
I offer neuro-centric activities and teaching for all ages, including:
- Know Brain, Know Gain!
- Neuro Workshops on a variety of topics
- Brain Body Foundations course
- Neuro Movement class (virtual)
- Neuro Pilates class (in studio)
- Brain & Body Bootcamp for Kids
- and more

Know Brain, Know Gain!
A Smarter Way to Exercise
You’ve likely heard the phrase “no pain, no gain,” but have you wondered if it’s really an effective way to exercise? In my professional opinion, it’s not.
Why?
For starters, it doesn’t foster safe, progressive improvement, and it can lead to injury.
But perhaps more important is that this approach runs counter to the findings of neuro science and overlooks how key the brain is to human movement and athletic performance. We now know that pain is a decision or construct made by the brain based on the perception of threat. Pain is a THREAT/ACTION signal – not an indicator of damage.
Therefore, if you work in pain, you are only increasing the threat to your brain. What does this mean for you?
- reduced performance and confidence
- increased stiffness and weakness
- pain signals build sooner and sooner
- pain becomes chronic
That’s why I’m so excited to share with you a new training opportunity that’s been years in the making. Instead of “no pain, no gain,” it’s “Know Brain, Know Gain!”
New App-Based Neuro Movement Training Program
I have been deep-diving into neuro training for the past five years, devoting myself to advanced coursework, seminars, and more, and have been providing sessions with clients ages 8 to 86 years old. The results across the board have been outstanding.
Now, I’m finally able to offer this training from the comfort of people’s homes with this new on-demand, app-based cognitive neuro movement training program.
Are you intrigued at the additional benefits that a neuro-based approach to movement can provide?
Here are just a few:
- enhanced pain relief
- increased performance
- better mobility
- improved reaction timing
- more confidence!
Any fitness level, any age, and any condition can benefit from this new app-based program. Each exercise has options for different levels of progression, modification, and challenge.
The program format includes: 25-minute total body workouts are provided by me twice a week and will include neural priming, lower body, upper body, core, and cardio training! In addition, each week you will also receive a 5-to-8 minute session for specific focuses to build balance, vision, autonomic work, etc.
It requires little to no space and no equipment. You don’t even need internet access, as you’ll do the program from your phone or tablet (iOS or Android) through the Switched On app.
Currently in its initial launch, I’m offering 50% off for the Know Brain, Know Gain program AND the app needed, making your total investment just $350 for the entire year of training. In addition, for a limited time, the app will also renew at only $50/year!
Please consider this as a valuable option to help with mobility, strength, cognitive function, and more!
To sign up, or if you have questions, please send me an email to sessions@centralcore.fitness
Neuro workshop videos are available on a variety of topics. Each is about 50 minutes, and provides tips and actions you can take right away to see improvement.
Each workshop video is $50.

Brain Body Foundations Course
Are you a fitness or wellness professional, movement specialist, physical therapist, physiotherapist, or an enthusiast in any of these areas? Are you intrigued at the additional benefits that a neuro-based approach can provide – enhanced pain relief, increased performance, better mobility and more confidence – to your clients, as well as yourself and the people you care about?
The Brain Body Foundations Course gives you the science behind neurology, how it works, and hand-on exercises you can implement immediately.
The training session provides an introduction to the neurocentric approach to rehabilitation, pain relief, and performance enhancement, plus time to ask your questions.
What you will learn:
• Explore key structures and pathways of human movement neurology.
• Learn numerous visual and vestibular assessments and drills and discuss their application with different client populations.
• Practice hands-on sensorimotor integration basics that are often a key to improving pain relief and performance.
• Deepen your understanding for the neurology of movement and how to influence pain and performance through opposing joint, precise motor control exercises, and dual-tasking
This 2.5hr course is $179 USD, and includes: recorded online training session and workbook.
Neuro Movement Class (Virtual)
Unpacking a different aspect of applied neurology, this 25-minute class blends functional neurology and movement optimization for pain relief and performance enhancement with an array of neurocentric based exercises.
Neuro Pilates (in studio)
This 50-minute in-studio session is specially designed for clients who want to stimulate brain health as much as muscle building. Utilizing Reformers, Towers, and Pilates props, we challenge the brain’s neuroplasticity by learning new movement patterns and creating new neuromuscular pathways. This is then followed with fun and often intense exercises to challenge the new pathways that were developed, increasing muscular balance for injury prevention, pain relief, and performance enhancement.
Kids Brain & Body Bootcamp
Camp dates for 2024 will be announced soon!
Parents! Looking for a kids camp with a difference this summer? At Brain & Body Bootcamp at Central Core in Pismo Beach, when your child moves their body – stacking carefully chosen drills – they build their mind, too!
Your child will have a blast playing outdoors with a small group doing drills and games that won’t feel like learning… they’ll feel like fun! Each day blends activities using applied neuroscience and selective movements (hidden in action-packed fun) while your child is getting benefits like eye/body coordination, decision making skills, reactive training, vision integration, and mind/body awareness.
- Ages 9-15 (older or younger participants may be welcomed after conversation with Misha)
- Maximum of 10 participants for personalized teaching and safety; minimum 4
- Location: sessions held at Boosinger Park playground near Central Core studio in Pismo Beach, Calif. (Take Wadsworth exit from Highway 101; head east up steep hill past Judkins Elementary School. Boosinger Park is on your left.)
