FOUNDER • ARTIST • VETERAN • NEUROARTS DIRECTOR

Nourich’s Briwolf brings together art, culture, lived experience, and evidence-informed NeuroArts practice to help people reconnect with themselves, one another, and the world.

Neighbors and neighborhoods come as they are to create a NeuroArts practice through artistic expression, where stories are honored, and unapologetic self-expression becomes a personalized practical pathway forward to flourishing.

Briwolf is currently pursuing an MS in Counseling with a concentration in Art Therapy at Penn West University (expected 2028) and a Doctor of Acupuncture at Won Institute of Graduate Studies (expected 2030); deepening the evidence-informed, trauma-informed foundation Nourich™ is built on.

The word 'Nourich' appears at the bottom, with the URL 'nourich.us' and the slogan 'Euphoria Per Harmonia.' The background includes the U.S. Constitution's text, clouds, and a colorful mural on a wall along a waterway.

NeuroArts gave me a voice.

My journey has moved through military service, medicine, trauma, art, advocacy, and community care. Each chapter taught me that healing is not always linear; and that people often need more than information or treatment alone.

They need expression. They need belonging. They need spaces where their full humanity is recognized.

At Nourich, I help create those spaces through visual art, storytelling, sensory experiences, cultural connection, and thoughtful NeuroArts programming.

A presentation slide about art, culture, and community, featuring an icon of hands holding a heart with a stethoscope, and text about using art, heritage, shared stories, and collective creativity to build meaningful spaces.
Information about NeuroArts & Creative Wellness, emphasizing designing creative experiences supporting expression, reflection, connection, and well-being through visual art, storytelling, music, sensory engagement, and cultural responsiveness.
Four sections of text with icons on a dark green background. The first section has a U.S. Army veteran star icon and text about bringing discipline, service, leadership, and lived experience into work. The second has an artist palette icon and text about using visual art and storytelling to create emotionally resonant experiences. The third has a brain icon and text about developing creative programming informed by the relationship between art, the brain, and well-being. The fourth has three people with a heart icon and text about creating culturally grounded spaces that support expression, belonging, and connection.

NeuroArts Experiences
Workshops, gatherings, and multisensory experiences that invite participants to create, reflect, connect, and engage with wellness in new ways

NeuroArts Experiences

Community-centered programming that brings together art, food, music, history, conversation, and shared NeuroArts expression.

Cultural Wellness Programs

From warzone to studio.

The same hands that once responded to emergencies now shape clay, make art, and create spaces for reflection.

My story is not about leaving one identity behind. It is about learning how service, survival, artistic self-expression, and care can exist together. We use EEG technology to track brainwave activity for real-time neurofeedback.

Art helped me make meaning from experiences that words alone could not always hold. Today, I use that understanding to help create spaces where other people can explore their own stories, strengths, and possibilities.

Building Nourich™ together

Briwolf brings the perspective of an artist, veteran, NeuroArts leader, and lived-experience advocate. Frank brings the perspective of an educator, learning designer, systems thinker, and creative builder.

Together, we are developing a neighborhood where unapologetic artistic self expression through NeuroArts, education, culture, and human connection can become personalized practical pathways toward flourishing

Create a space where people feel seen, heard, respected, connected, and inspired.

Whether you are planning a community gathering, workplace experience, wellness program, cultural event, or creative partnership, Nourich can help shape an experience with intention.

Undeniable & Unprecedented

Founder, NeuroArts Director & Wellness Expert, Creator, & Mentor.

From warzone to studio: measuring neurofeedback from creative interventions is evidence-informed medicine, not luxury.

The same hands that applied IVs now shape clay and measure brainwaves; proving that creative interventions aren't soft alternatives to medical care, they're essential evidence-informed treatments for the invisible wounds that trauma leaves behind
