Honouring Grant Soosalu’s Legacy of our multiple brains
Neuroscience has shown that we don’t just have one brain but three! Apart from the brain in our head, we have complex, adaptive and fully functional neural networks or “brains” in our heart and in our gut. That is in itself a fascinating fact but how can we actually use these discoveries?
That is the question that Marvin Oka and Grant Soosalu asked themselves and by combining the lastest research with their extensive experience in behavioural modelling, they created a powerful model for how the intelligence in all three of our brains can be accessed. Their book “mBraining – Using Your Multiple Brains To Do Cool Stuff” was published in 2012 and took the world by storm. mBIT stands for multiple Brain Integration Techniques and is a suite of practical tools and techniques for turning theory into practice. These techniques are taught through certification programs all over the world. Using mBraining in our daily lives allows us to find more calm, clarity and strength in our choices, both in life and at work.

mBraining has grown rapidly since it started in 2012 with the publication of "mBraining - Using Your Multiple Brains To Do Cool Stuff"
Our mBIT Coaches work with clients all over the world to help them tap into the wisdom of combining the intelligence in head, heart and gut.
Our mBIT Trainers deliver certification courses all over the world, as well as personal development programs, leadership courses and more.
Our Master Coaches have expanded their knowledge and toolkit with a deep understanding of the autonomic nervous system and the "pelvic brain".
“mBraining is an intriguing and profound book. The research on the three brains is now compelling and the authors do a masterful job of integrating this research in a practical approach you can start implementing immediately. I’m very grateful for the work that Grant and Marvin are doing with mBraining because it will help people understand the power of integrating their head, heart and gut brains to enhance every aspect of their life."

“I’m very impressed with the work of Grant Soosalu and Marvin Oka on the competencies of the brains in the heart and gut and the application of this to leadership. Their action research findings and models are fascinating and advance the work my co-authors and I wrote about in ‘Head, Heart & Guts: How the World’s Best Companies Develop Complete Leaders’.”

"mBraining demystifies how we make our instinctive gut and feeling heart based decisions, often more accurate and appropriate than our thinking head brain. The hows and whys of the emerging science of mBIT are brilliantly revealed and explained by Marvin Oka and Grant Soosalu, in a light and educational format. The book and supporting educational materials and programs provide you with the necessary tools to understand and effectively implement these leading edge strategies and prosper."

"mBraining extends notions of both brain and mind. Steven Pinker famously says that 'the mind is what the brain does'. Oka and Soosalu suggest that a greater mind is a function of a greater brain, that comprising head, heart, and hara."

"Received your book and couldn't put it down. The book is a brilliant blend of scientific discoveries and ancient wisdom that integrates three brains; an excellent cognitive basis for the training room and coaching work. I love and envy your conversational style and being a liaison between research & wisdom and the reader."

The mBIT Coach certification is a four day intensive training program, culminating in a certification exercise where you coach the whole mBIT process with a coachee. There are mBIT Trainers on every continent who run certification courses on a regular basis. To find the next course in your area, check out the Events section.
Yes, mBraining and mBIT coaching can be conducted remotely through video calls and there are many coaches in the mBIT community who offer mBIT coaching remotely.
Traditional coaching often focuses on cognitive processes, what mBraining would label as the head intelligence, whereas mBraining incorporates the intelligence of three brains (head, heart and gut) in decision-making and personal growth.
