Brain Reset Tour: Building Resilient Communities in Regional Australia

May 26, 2025

Knowing how to improve brain function is crucial. By resetting your brain, you’re not just improving your mental wellbeing – you’re enhancing your emotional and physical health too. Imagine a life free from overwhelm, stress, anxiety, and depression, and replacing them with peaceful sleep.

Allan Parker, a Micro Behavioural Scientist and Negotiator, is bringing insights, techniques, and compassionate guidance to communities and individuals in the heart of regional Australia. Allan’s workshops delve into the neural pathways that govern our thoughts and behaviours, offering tools for a Calming Brain Reset (CBR).

Allan’s unconventional and engaging workshops will teach participants how to:

  • Reset your brain in 5 easy steps
  • Manage pressure & tension
  • Understand the brain better
  • Have calming conversations
  • Learn the facts & myths of brain food & exercise
