“The goal is to help individuals to feel physiologically safe enough to create more connection with themselves, their loved ones and the world around them."

BG Mancini AP, FMP, MHSc

Welcome to Our Practice

BG Mancini, is a Neurodevelopmental Specialist, Advanced Certified in Functional Medicine, licensed since 2013 as an Acupuncture Physician and Primary Care Provider.  She is the founder of The Brain & Gut Institute and creator of The Family Nervous System® that helps families understand that healing is never just one person in the living organism we call a family and requires connection to self and each other.

​

With almost 30 years of clinical practice, she has worked with children and adults to unlock their unique potential through biomedical, nervous system, and neurodevelopmental practices.

​

Throughout her career, BG has personally worked with over 7,000 patients and trained an estimated 600 clinicians.  She shares the importance of including Interoception, Proprioception, Neuroception, Sensory Processing, Interhemispheric Movement, and Nutrition in any conversation about addictions, autism, physical and mental health.

​

As an international speaker and trainer, she focuses on educating therapists, clinicians, educators, and medical providers about the underlying factors driving external reactions labeled as, “behaviors.” She advocates for holistic support to achieve homeostasis in the nervous system state and recover balance in the lives of patients and clients. 

​

By combining what we now know through Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory and the latest in research on the Brain-gut Axis, she makes the information “digestible,” for everyone so they can understand and implement tools for their own lives and those with whom they work.

​

She uniquely brings to light how our physiological state is ultimately determining our reaction to our inner and outer world.

​A Personal Note From BG

Firstly, yes! My first name really is BG on my birth certificate.  My parents couldn’t decide on a name, and the hospital released me with the name they had written on my bracelet, which was…Baby Girl, abbreviated to BG.  It was the 70s, and my parents decided to keep it.  So please, call me BG.

 

I was only 6 when my dad introduced me to what we now call “super-foods,” like bee pollen, blue-green algae, how to grow sprouts, juicing, and the power of breathwork.  He was my first teacher.  (I still have his working juicer 35 years later!) In college I studied nutrition  and launched right into working with chronically ill patients using food and connection as medicine and started to see the incredible healing capabilities of the body. My first teacher, Michio Kushi founder of Macrobiotics taught us that in community with each other and nature is where we find our own balance.   

​

When I was 15 years old my niece had a traumatic brain injury at birth and we were introduced to bilateral movement as a tool for recovery, in order to develop neuralpathways and neuroplasticity did the rest.  She made a full recovery after being told she would never walk or talk. 

​

I have now witnessed the body's brilliant and innate wisdom to always be seeking to establish homeostasis.  Every cell in our body is designed to help us survive, from there we can utilize the tools that help us move from surviving to thriving.
