About Stefanie Faye

The Science Behind What You Already See

Most of us were trained to look outward for validation—for the right method, the right certification, the right language. But the human nervous system is an extraordinarily sophisticated instrument. It reads rooms, detects incongruence, anticipates threat, and calibrates trust in milliseconds. This isn't mystical. It's measurable.

My approach draws from my years as a researcher—studying the electrical activity of the brain (qEEG), heart rate variability, skin conductance, facial EMG—and translates that science into something you can feel and use. Not as information to memorize, but as a deeper understanding of what your system is already doing.

I've spent 15 years helping leaders and change agents translate their expertise into science-backed frameworks that earn respect, increase buy-in, and position them as go-to experts in their field.

Clients I've worked with have attracted entire teams of coaches who want to join their programs. They've landed stages like TEDx and Mindvalley. They've reached audiences they never knew existed, simply by gaining clarity on their science-informed message.

Clients & Collaborators

My clients include MIT, Google, Stanford, the FBI, Northwestern University, Alberta Children's Hospital, and the UC San Diego School of Medicine. I've trained in monasteries with meditation masters from India, Africa, and Vietnam, and spent years as an intelligence analyst before becoming a neuroscience educator.

I currently collaborate with MIT's Global Humanities Initiative and CheckIt Learning to help with research exploring the intersection of neuroscience, AI, and human flourishing. I work clinically with brain mapping and neurofeedback for clients from age 4 to 65+. And I teach the applied neuroscience mini-course, How to teach emotion regulation so even skeptics use it

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.

For the past decade, I've been teaching and consulting in countries all over the world by combining scientific insights and my training in monasteries with meditation masters from India, Africa and Vietnam.   I'm also a former intelligence analyst, and a Master Faculty instructor and researcher at Google, where I have consulted on and facilitated global workshops on the Science of Learning and Mindset in London, Chicago, Tel Aviv, Munich and Singapore.
