Neuro Leader Community

Dr. Justine Boscaglia:

Dr Justine Boscaglia is an Osteopath and healthcare entrepreneur who transforms healthcare delivery through practical neuroscience applications. With over 20 years of clinical experience and small business ownership, she bridges therapeutic practice, business acumen, and cutting-edge neuroscience research. Her professional journey took a profound turn when her husband's life-altering subarachnoid brain hemorrhage led to a remarkable recovery that defied medical predictions. This experience ignited her deep exploration of neuroplasticity and the brain-body connection, fundamentally changing her understanding of healing and the therapeutic relationship. 

Justine has developed frameworks that translate complex neuroscience research into accessible tools for healthcare professionals. Her signature methodology, "The Regulated Practitioner," offers evidence-based strategies for nervous system regulation that providers can immediately implement, even in busy clinical environments. Her work focuses on helping practitioners recognize their nervous systems as powerful healing instruments, creating ripple effects that enhance patient outcomes, prevent burnout, and build sustainable practices. 

She is currently developing an education-focused handbook that reveals the hidden science of how practitioner presence directly impacts patient outcomes and provides the foundation for building a sustainable, fulfilling healthcare career, alongside a comprehensive toolkit for health and movement professionals, Justine is establishing herself as a thought leader in neurologically-informed healthcare delivery that honors both the science of healing and the realities of professional practice.

Lisa Low

Lisa Low is an educator, consultant, and trainer with a passion for reimagining how we support children and young people. Her work is rooted in relational neuroscience, emotion coaching, and systems thinking, helping schools, families, and organisations move from misunderstanding to connection and growth. With experience spanning classrooms, leadership roles, and international consultancy, Lisa has worked with communities across the UK, Europe, and Asia. She brings together research, practical tools, and deep empathy to help educators and families see behaviour as the language of the nervous system - and to respond in ways that build trust, safety, and resilience.

Lisa’s vision for BEyond Bridges Education is to create a world where every child feels seen, valued, and supported as their whole self, and where the adults around them have the understanding and confidence to nurture their potential.

Rooted in nervous system theory and embodied neuroscience, and guided by systems thinking as the panacea for understanding human development and disconnection, her work centres on restoring safety and connection across family, child, and school systems. 

Benefits from the Neuro Leader Program:
Working with Stefanie over the past two years has brought clarity and language to the instincts that once guided me quietly. Her ability to hold complexity with compassion and insight has deepened both my thinking and my practice. The NeuroLeader program has been a transformative experience, affirming my commitment to sharing this work globally to support systems of care and belonging across generations.  

Systems thinking, with its emphasis on networks, connectivity, and complexity, has released me from the constraints of reductionist thinking and opened the door to adaptive, evolved approaches. What once felt like intuition is now grounded in science, affirming the truth I have carried all along!

With the help of Neuro Leader programming and coaching, Lisa has established The BEyond Method™: A relational, brain-body aligned approach that supports every child, with or without a diagnosis, to be understood, empowered, and connected.  This method focuses on Five Evidence-Informed Pillars:

Vision/Perspective Sentence:

Neuroscience is the reason that I am not just alcohol-free, it’s the reason I am THRIVING. For years, I struggled to get sober, but once I took a neuroscience approach to healing the cravings in my brain five years ago, everything changed and I am now free from the grip that alcohol once had over me. I have turned my personal struggle into my life's purpose to help others and the more I learn about neuroscience, the more fascinated I have become with the subject!
