Cranial Alignment, Brain Performance & True Healing | Dr. Dean Howell & Rebecca

In this The Mindful Journey episode, host Sana sits down with Dr. Dean Howell—developer of NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR)—and Rebecca, his partner in research and wellness. Together, they explore how cranial alignment and biochemistry impact brain performance, emotions, and healing.

The conversation challenges conventional medicine and opens a thought-provoking dialogue about skull alignment, fluid dynamics in the brain, emotional trauma, and how lifestyle choices influence long-term health. Dr. Howell and Rebecca share personal stories and decades of experience that may shift how you think about both the structure and chemistry of the body.

This is not just about how the brain works—but how it works best.

About the Guests

Dr. Dean Howell is a naturopath and creator of NeuroCranial Restructuring, a technique designed to optimize skull alignment and brain function. With nearly 50 years of experience, he has worked with patients worldwide to address chronic conditions through structural and biochemical optimization.

Key Takeaways

• Skull alignment can influence brain hydraulics, impacting clarity, breathing, emotions, and overall function.

• Emotional trauma can shift cranial structure, which in turn may contribute to anxiety, depression, or learning challenges.

• Healing requires a whole-system approach—addressing structure, biochemistry, emotions, and lifestyle.

• Conventional therapies often treat symptoms; lasting healing may come from addressing root causes.

• Biochemistry (toxins, nutrition, lifestyle) interacts with structure—both must be optimized for true wellness.

• The goal of NCR and holistic care is not ongoing dependency but progressive, lasting improvement.

• Healing means restoring the body’s own ability to fix itself—moving beyond temporary relief.
