Her fascination in neuroscience started as a young learner herself in reading about the study of phrenology during the Victorian period. The modern developments in the field of Neuroscience became a focus of her pastoral support in schools 15 years ago from which point she has been seeking strategies and meaningful interventions to support the learners she has taught and supported by using her research and applying this to her practice.

Sairah believes that coming across the work of BrainTrainUK and the potential of Brain Mapping and Neurofeedback based on this, could be a breakthrough in education where no other intervention has  reached in assisting numerous young people achieve optimal brain function.
