EPIGENETICS - The continuum of DNA development after birth.
Research of the eminent Dr. Bruce LIpton
Healthy family development begins with nurturing touch, compassionate communication, and creating a positive environment for an infant/child to thrive rather than just survive.We consider the wholistic approach to maximize an infant's/child's DNA potential.
Study Dr. Bruce Lipton's groundbreaking research, "epigenetics", and as a professional you will have a greater understanding that nurturing touch must be coupled with compassionate dialogue and a positive environment in order to maximize an infant's/child's potential and encourage healthy family bonding that may last a lifetime.
Our nurturing touch routine has been greatly updated and enhanced over the past 5 years. Very exciting!!! Both our touch routine and dialogue reflect the needs and new science acknowledged by society today, i.e. cell biologist Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. received the 2009 Goi Peace Award in recognition of his pioneering work in the field of New Biology.
"Nature needs nurturing to reach it’s maximum potential.”

Andrea Kelly, our CEO Communications/Marketing, latest reviews from Brighter Beginning's (1st Five California) corporate CIMI® Class!!!
"The CE workshop is very informative and empowering. Andrea Kelly is an amazing woman, trainer, coach and teacher. She made sure that all of the information was learned and understood. The teachings are unique and extraordinary and so important for all people. It helps to make our children, families, communities, and world a better place. I love the World Community philosophy and Andrea exhibits it gracefully and genuinely. This is a class experience that all people should have because everyone in the world can benefit and learn this."
Sarah Hampton, Family Advocate, Lactation Consultant, CIMI®
Andrea presents this primal yet groundbreaking, mind-changing material with simplicity, elegance, sophistication, grace, truth, and humility. She is a master teacher, inspiring, and approachable, and is always, always about THE BABIES!! [What I enjoyed about the class] Andrea's personality, expertise, humor, integrity, and effectiveness, the movies, the heart-to-heart sharing with other women, and the warm and supportive group of feisty women!
Kathryn Machi, CIMI® since 1995
I definitely will go back to my work at Alta Bates and help empower my families knowledge about their babies and the importance of nurturing touch. The Dr. Bruce Lipton video was very enlightening and empowering information. What I most enjoyed about the class was the actual learning and practicing of the strokes, and also the student class with the teens, the babies were so-o-o-o cute!
Tremendously enjoyed this CIMI Class! Andrea was fantastic! Loved her stories and her demonstrations. The class was very interactive. I learned a lot about nurturing healthy family attachments -- this is what I love to teach and do at Brighter Beginnings. This class will be a perfect addition to my toolbox, a wonderful gift to share with our families.
Cathy Akina, CHE, CIMI®
I appreciate the passion and enthusiasm of Andrea in teaching the class. I also really enjoyed the time spent on educating the class about marketing and being an entrepreneur. It was very empowering. This portion of the course really emphasized the fact that WINC supports each of their CIMIs in any way possible and provides the necessary teaching tools to aide their success.
is to foster a renaissance of each people’s ancient tradition of infant massage and to promote nurturing touch and compassionate communication through training, education, and research so that globally parents, caregivers, and children are loved, valued and respected throughout the world community.
