Welcome to Brainwise Academy
Let’s grow brighter minds - together.
Become real-world ready to change challenging childhood behaviour.
We specialise in
demystifying how children think.
At Brainwise Academy, we think about childhood development differently.
We know that children with behavioural challenges flourish when their parents are an active part of therapy. When you aren’t in the dark. When you are illuminated with knowledge.
You know your child better than anyone.
That’s why we’ve exclusively designed our one-of-a-kind childhood development e-courses for adults.
Pair your parental knowledge with the Brainwise Academy Method and you’re armed with real-world readiness to change everyday behavioural struggles. For life.

Praise from parents
Dr Shields is my lifeline. Her years of experience and wealth of knowledge is priceless when dealing with the many issues that arise from having a son with ASD and an intellectual disability.
Dr Shields has taught me to understand how my son thinks and what the world looks like for him. Without Nicolene's help and support I would not be the mother I am today. Thank you, Nicolene.

Mother | Gold Coast QLD
From the moment we met Dr Shields, she made us feel comfortable talking about our journey to date with our son.
Dr Shields could identify the behaviours he was displaying, and help us to apply strategies to support him. She is kind, compassionate, efficient and professional. We are happy to say that we consider Dr Shields a part of our family.

She has been instrumental in developing strategies to support her emotional regulation, adjusting to change and improving everyday living.
