NEUROSCIENCE FOR COACHES, EDUCATORS, PROFESSIONALS

Elevate your coaching, teaching and leadership with neuroscience that re-wires the brain and nervous system for improved focus, emotional wellbeing and performance.

If you're someone who strives for the deepest understanding of themselves and others' behaviors, and you're passionate about building resilience, growth mindset, emotion regulation and psychological safety, my content is for you.   

I am here to help you bridge the gap between scientific research and how we directly apply it to help people find new ways of using their talents, discomforts, failures, and challenges as pathways to growth and evolution.

 

 

 

My Mission: To bring attachment-based, trauma-informed neuroscience and systems thinking research to therapists, coaches, teachers and leaders so they can confidently teach their clients and audiences how to build new mindsets and approaches to wellbeing, performance and innovation. 

My experience has shown me that once people truly understand the power of their mind and the systems that influence their behavior, they access new forms of energy, motivation and a belief in their ability to learn and grow. Neuroscience is a language to help them see this truth.

About me...

I'm a neuroscience specialist and educator focused on improving life outcomes for diverse populations by giving actionable and engaging neuroscience education that transforms mindsets and behaviors.

I'm a former researcher and have spent parts of my career measuring electric conductance of the skin (GSR), facial electromyography (EMG), and heart rate.  My most current work has been with assessing and analyzing quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG), rhythmic sinus arrhythmia (heart rate variability), and administering neurofeedback, and transcranial magnetic stimulation for clinical treatment at an intensive outpatient mental health clinic. 

 

 

My graduate research at New York University and fieldwork at the NYU Phelps lab for neuroscience research, the NYU Institute for Prevention Science and Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine focused on the cross-section of self-directed neuroplasticity, emotion regulation, family emotional climates, and empathy. 

My clients include MIT, Google, Stanford University, the FBI, Northwestern University, Alberta Children’s Hospital, the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, as well as therapists, coaches, educational consultants, district superintendents, CEOs, yoga instructors, osteopaths, and many more.

I also currently work at a neuropsychology clinic, where I focus on brainwave training (neurofeedback), biofeedback, eye movement for attention/focus, cognitive training and brain maps (qEEG) for clients ranging from small children to older adults, with a variety of challenges including ADHD, anxiety, sleep issues, traumatic brain injury and social-emotional-communication challenges.
