COGNITIVE AND NEURO-REHABILITATION SPECIALIST
B+HARI CORE FOUNDING FACULTY

Dr. Courtnee Nunokawa is triple board-certified in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care, Lifestyle Medicine, and Neurofeedback Rehabilitation, and holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice, the terminal clinical doctorate in the nursing field. She is a scientific faculty member of B+HARI and a leader in the integration of neuroplasticity and clinical practice.

As DNP Program Director and Assistant Professor at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa School of Nursing, she trains and helps shape the future of doctoral-prepared nurses and advanced practice clinicians.

Courtnee brings profound clinical depth to B+HARI, with extensive experience serving populations facing high neurological burdens and complex social determinants of health, including veterans returning from war, incarcerated individuals, those experiencing homelessness, and patients with severe PTSD, applying evidence-based neurotherapeutic tools in contexts where conventional care has often fallen short. Her clinical and research practice integrates QEEG brain mapping, neurofeedback training, mindfulness, and values-based care to support cognitive health, emotional regulation, and nervous system resilience. Through her clinic, Balanced Brain, she approaches brain health through personalized values, neuro-rehabilitation and plasticity, and lifestyle medicine.

Through her work with B+HARI, Dr. Nunokawa is dedicated to advancing cognitive resilience and reserve by bridging the gap between cutting-edge neurological research and the community, driven by her conviction that the brain's capacity to heal is accessible to everyone, regardless of circumstance or access to traditional care.
