Georgia Kathleen Connor, Ph.D.,(born 1949) is a neuroscientist, learning specialist, speaker, inventor, and the founder of “Possibility Kids.”
Early Life
Connor was born in Columbus, Ohio, to father Nolen D. Connor, DVM, and mother Lena Grace. She spent the first four years of her life in Auburn, Alabama. Her family then moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan. At the age of four she was afflicted with polio. The whole left side of her body was paralyzed and it was uncertain if she would ever walk again. However, not only did she learn how to walk, but she went on to become a runner in junior high, a cheerleader in high school, and eventually a professional dancer.
In first grade Connor struggled with Attention Deficit Disorder. She was also dyslexic and stuttered. Her first grade teacher told her father not to expect very much from his daughter academically, that she probably wouldn’t graduate from high school. Not only did Connor graduate from high school, she was an honor student at The Ohio State University, attaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, and a Master’s Degree in Performing Arts. Eventually she attained her Ph.D. in Neuroscience.
At age ten Connor began playing the violin. She played in her high school orchestra and the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony. As a violinist in the Kalamazoo Symphony she toured Europe, including a performance for Princess Grace of Monaco. It was as a freshman at Western Michigan University when Connor began getting A’s and got on the Dean’s list. It was later that she realize she had been playing the same violin pieces that Albert Einstein played when he was dreaming of his theory, The Law of Relativity. These included pieces by Bach, Vivaldi, Hayden and Mozart.
First Career
Although Connor began college majoring in pre-med and psychology, she soon turned her focus to dance. While with a Ballet Opera Company, she performed in Washington, D.C., before both Presidents Nixon and Ford. After graduation from Ohio University she went on to become a professional dancer, singer and actor, staying in the entertainment field until 1986. She performed mainly in and around New York City.
Second Career
Connor’s father was a DVM, a doctor in Veterinary Medicine. He did large farm animal research for the Upjohn Company in Kalamazoo. As a result, Connor has always been interested in medicine and the healing profession. She also knew she had a knack for teaching. At age eighteen she worked at the Fort Custer Rehab Center for children with learning challenges. Connor became extremely dismayed at the utter inability of these children to learn anything while being so heavily medicated by CNS depressants. She knew there had to be a more natural and effective way to help these children. At age twenty-five she was introduced to the field of biofeedback, and today she has certifications in neurofeedback, biofeedback, mediation and hypnotherapy. Her life is dedicated to helping people discover and learn how to use their gifts and talents.
Drawing on her background as a professional musician, dancer, and educator, Connor invented The MindMoves® StudyBuddy Accelerated Learning System (patented in 2006) as an answer to her own ADHD, dyslexia, and depression.
Connor has been working with children with learning challenges for many years, and in 1993 she founded “Possibility Kids,” a non-profit charity school for at-risk youth. She has been in private practice as a learning specialist in the State of California since 1994.
