ABOUT iN-Ed

The Institute for Neuroscience and Education (iN-Ed) was founded by Dr Rita Princi-Hubbard to translate neuroscience, psychological science and compassion-focused research into practical approaches that can be applied in everyday professional settings.

​

Originally grounded in education and more than two decades of clinical practice, academic research and professional training, iN-Ed has evolved to work across education, health, allied health, leadership and organisational contexts. Its work focuses on understanding what happens to people under pressure, how regulatory states influence thinking, behaviour, communication and relationships, and how this knowledge can support more effective responses.

​

At the heart of iN-Ed is a simple principle: understanding behaviour requires us to look beyond what we can see to the neurophysiological, psychological, developmental and relational processes beneath it. By translating complex science into accessible and practical frameworks, iN-Ed helps professionals better understand both what is happening and what may be needed.

Our Purpose

​

To translate neuroscience, psychological science and compassion-focused research into practical knowledge that helps people understand regulation, behaviour and relationships — supporting wellbeing, learning, leadership and more effective human connection across professional settings.

​

What We Do

​

• • Professional Learning & Training: We design and deliver evidence-informed workshops, programs and professional development integrating neuroscience, psychology and compassion-focused practice.

• ​

• • Research & Knowledge Translation: We translate contemporary research into practical, accessible frameworks that help people understand regulation, behaviour, relationships and wellbeing.

• ​

• • Consulting & Program Development: We work with schools, organisations and professional teams to develop tailored approaches that strengthen regulation, communication, relationships and psychologically informed practice.

• ​

• • Speaking & Presentations: Dr Rita Princi-Hubbard delivers keynote presentations, conference sessions and professional seminars across education, health, leadership and organisational settings.

​

Across Professional Settings

​

• The principles underpinning iN-Ed extend across education, health, leadership and organisational settings. Our work examines how the nervous system, psychological processes and relationships influence the way people think, communicate, make decisions and respond under pressure.

​

• Drawing on neuroscience, psychology and compassion-focused practice, iN-Ed translates research into practical approaches that support regulation, effective communication, healthy relationships, leadership and workplace wellbeing.

​

• Programs and consulting can be tailored to the needs of schools, professional teams, leaders and organisations, with a focus on understanding what is happening, what is needed, and how we can respond more effectively.
