Optimise Energy,

Elevate Performance

Smart strategies for sustainable change—grounded in neuroscience, designed for real life.
The most effective leaders don’t just manage time—they manage their nervous systems. That’s where clarity, connection, and lasting energy begin 

 You’re Leading in a Complex World—But at What Cost?

Every day, you face high-stakes decisions, competing priorities, and relentless demands on your time, attention, and energy.
It’s not just mentally exhausting. It takes a toll on your body and your nervous system.

When stress becomes your default operating system, it shows up as:

  • Diminished focus and difficulty prioritising under pressure

  • Always feeling “on,” yet rarely truly present or rested

  • Chronic overdrive that leaves no space to pause or reflect

  • Sleepless nights, strained relationships, creeping burnout

  • Subtle (or not-so-subtle) mental and physical health issues

 

This isn’t about willpower or resilience. It’s biology.

The good news? You can rewire it—with the right support.

When you understand how your nervous system and brain work, you can optimise your energy, prioritise recovery, and perform at a higher level—consistently

Helping high performers grow with clarity, energy, and connection—so their teams thrive too.

I’ve been a consultant and coach for 30 years, I have worked in London, New York, Brussels, Washington DC, Houston and now back in the U.K. The experience of teaching in inner London and six international moves with four children taught me about the powerful impact of stress on wellbeing. My personal struggle with burnout fuelled my journey to find ways to take charge of my wellbeing, improve my health and enhance my resilience. My comprehensive search for easy to use, evidenced based solutions, lead me to the explore the role of the nervous system and brain. I have used a Polyvagal lens since 2016 and I believe a neurobiological approach offers a rich, nuanced framework that can be easily applied in a wide range of settings. I believe that forward thinking leaders, coaches and educators are the pioneers who will transform our society from one that ignores the brain and nervous system to one that learns its mechanisms thereby enhancing their own wellbeing and lives of others. NeuroSmart Learning was created to drive this transformation, to empower leaders, coaches, and educators to understand the nervous system and brain and to equip them with the skills to optimse their performance, navigate challenges, and foster environments that promote psychological safety, trust, and collaboration. NeuroSmart Learning works with purpose-driven, people-centred individuals, teams, and organisations from a variety of sectors, including, health care, education, technology, oil and gas, construction, and law.  As part of our mission to educate and empower educators and to drive societal change we provide an affordable workshop, once a month to schools.

What People Say

We wanted to be proactive and support our managers to consider the impact of stress & burnout – particularly in light of COVID-19 and the sector that we operate in. Andrea has a knack of simplifying the “why” we respond in the way we do and does it in a memorable way, highlighting actionable hints & tips. Our teams thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, discussions and insight that Andrea provided.
