Lisa Low

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

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 generation.

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.

Me Ra Koh & Brian Tausend

Me Ra's Rising Phoenix story starts from the most humble of beginnings. Before her photography books, she published Beauty Restored, the story of piecing her life back together after being date raped in college.  Lost and alone, she slept out of her car in Seattle parking lots and eventually checked herself into a psychiatric ward in California at 19. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she'd be inspiring millions of viewers on Disney and talk shows, like Live with Kelly & Ryan, twenty years later. In 2007, Sony invited her to become one of their first two women sponsored photographers. She is the author of half a dozen books and has raised two amazing kids with Brian.

Brian is the Lighting and in-house Design Expert. He has created custom wall art for families around the country from Dallas Cowboy NFL Players to empty nesters downsizing. He has also filmed, photographed and produced content for some of the world's largest brands; Sony, Target, Best Buy, Disney, Scripps Network, and more.  Brian is a walking manual for about every camera ever made. And he is the constant comedian, teacher, and historian whether he's in the studio or leading a travel photography workshop with Me Ra through Italy.

Neuroscience is the reason that I am not just alcohol-free, it’s the reason I am THRIVING.

Their creativity and potential are undeniable, but they may feel out of control much of the time, making it difficult to express those amazing qualities.
