What is the
Super-Regulators Neuroscience Academy?
The Super-Regulators Neuroscience Academy is a neuroscience immersion experience (on-demand and live group sessions) for coaches, leaders, healers, and professionals who want to put credible neuroscience behind the transformational work they already do.
There is so much information coming at us about how to optimize, regulate, breathe, count… how to upgrade our brains and nervous systems.
It can be easy to be led astray by the certainty we get from certain voices, apps, social media feeds..
What i have seen over the decades of doing this work is that when people report a new sense of wellbeing and thriving...
..they often report it with a more heightened sense of trusting themselves..
Trusting that…
‘yes.. That was what i was noticing..
Yes.. that pattern fits with what seems to work well for me, or throws me off center..
Being able to tune in, adjust and then tune in again to what aligns for each person in each context.
This matters to me more than giving people one more outside authority to depend on…
So how do we do this?
We help ourselves, and then others regain access to our own intelligence.
I believe this matters now possibly more than ever..
For us to recognize how intelligent our mind-brain-body actually is, and to honor that intelligence by learning about it and what it is truly capable of.
What this doesn’t look like is..
A magic formula, quick fixes, absolute certainty
It looks more like..
A willingness to notice more..
To entertain more than one explanation to what we perceive in ourselves and others.
To attune, question, adapt, iterate, experiment and attune again.
To sense what is happening within ourselves,
while staying connected to what is happening around us.
To recognize that we all have more agency than we realize.
This is what I mean by a ‘Super-Regulator’.
In an era that leads us away from our own knowing..
we need more of them right now.
In the Super-Regulators™ Neuroscience Academy, we look at
embodied social nervous system intelligence
We look at systems, context, relationships.
We look at the intelligence of the embodied-social-nervous-system.. An unbelievably incredible human capacity to adapt, learn and discover new possibilities.
And when we regain trust in that intelligence, we regain our agency.
We regain our capacity to notice what is happening within us without immediately being trapped or thrown off course by it…
This gives us more flexibility to choose, adapt and respond.
As Super-Regulators, we help make a sense of agency more believable and
reach-able to the people around us.
Every human being who regains greater access to their own agency and intelligence brings something powerful and healing into their family, relationships, classroom, organization and community...
They offer vibrations of what it’s like to be a little less:
reactive, defaulting to old (and/or collectively dysregulated) patterns,
And a little more… more capable of attuning, adapting
intentional with the powers of their human mind.
And then, maybe.. little by little, that is how we contribute to a more intelligent and adaptive human collective.
And this is the room we, as neuroscientists, want to create with you.
Between us are decades and thousands upon thousands of human-focused-hours (embodied, lived, in the flesh with other humans..) devoted to understanding Human Wellbeing and thriving through neuroscience and neurophysiology.
We will bring you science... And... we’ll question it with you, experiment with it together.
And we’ll keep returning to the intelligence and wisdom that we all already carry.
We’re less focused on knowing the most brain parts, neuro-words, nervous system acronyms…
We are co-creatively opening new channels for ideas, insight and the evolution of humans are capable of accessing.
If that is the kind of learning you have been looking for...
we would love to welcome you into this room.
THE ACADEMY CORE OUTCOME:
Use neuroscience to make your expertise easier to understand, trust and buy into.. so you can stand out in a crowded field and
attract the recognition and audiences your work deserves.
"I attracted a team of coaches to my program that want to join forces"
"The confidence with which I am now able to present my material is so much stronger that it's actually attracted a team of coaches to my program that want to join forces and actually facilitate and deliver the coaching method that Stefanie and I have been working with together and collaborating on."
- Ryan Sawyer, IHP Coaching
Become more sought-after for the work you are here to do...
You've spent years developing a way of seeing people and noticing patterns.
You help people find possibilities that were hard for them to see or access before.
There is neuroscience underneath so much of what you already know how to do.
When you can articulate that science with confidence:
- your expertise becomes easier for new audiences to recognize.
- people find it easier to understand why your work matters..
- your work gets invited into rooms
that may need a more analytical way to understand transformation.
"research-backed confirmation of what I knew intuitively but couldn’t explain"
"Working with Stefanie gave me research-backed confirmation of what I knew intuitively but couldn’t explain. Our conversations sharpened my ability to work with people who think, feel, and solve problems differently—and to choose the most effective approach for them as an advisor.
- Terri Yeh, Founder of NeuroLever
Your Work Already Expresses Neurological Truths about the Human Potential to Grow, Learn and Heal
Whether you..
help people heal old patterns,
regulate their nervous systems,
change their mindset,
lead differently,
build resilience,
deepen relationships or
become more fully themselves...
.... there are biological processes beneath the transformation you help create.
This is where the wisdom you have gathered through years of working with human beings meets the science of how human beings perceive, connect, adapt and change.
Your work helps people regain access to their own intelligence.
Neuroscience helps that transformation ripple further.
It can help you bring your work to new audiences
who need a more scientifically grounded way to understand its depth.
It can help you communicate with greater clarity, create faster buy-in and open doors
into new conversations, referrals and opportunities.
"turned scattered insights into one clear, repeatable framework"
"This program helped me uncover blind spots and ground my ideas in science, which turned scattered insights from neuroscience, somatics, systems thinking, and habit formation into one clear, repeatable framework I now use and share with others."
The Super Regulators Academy provides neuroscience education to equip coaches, consultants, leaders and educators to:
develop their understanding of nervous system regulation, mindset and systems thinking neuroscience to create new projects, programs, frameworks, presentations or initiatives
attract interest, engagement, and buy-in from new and existing clients, audiences, and stakeholders by integrating nervous system regulation, mindset and systems thinking neuroscience language & understanding into their existing work.
"inspires and equips people to harness the power and logic of neuroscience"
“After some intense discoveries during our live session, my own regulation puzzle came together last night. I am still processing in an extremely positive way with… a sense of elation. I’ve been searching for the right word all day and that’s it (!).
Yesterday I felt a new clarity about my potential as a super regulator. I once again find myself beyond grateful for the challenges I’ve experienced in my life and that they have ultimately brought me into the spheres of amazing humans like you and Gina.
Thank you for your amazing tandem efforts with Gina to help inspire, equip and encourage people to harness the power and logic of neuroscience."
- -Jules Fernandes, AI Rhythm for leaders and teams
Distinctives & Principles of this program
HOw to see rather than what to do
Our main goal is not to learn what to DO but rather how to SEE, NOT to acquire skill but rather to expand and flex our view.
Likewise in helping others, Super-Regulators expand beyond teaching people what to do and expand into teaching others how to SEE themselves and the world around them.
Rather than hyper-focus on strategies, Super-Regulators facilitate insight.
Long-Term Empowerment vs. Quick Fixes
Many training programs and approaches are quick-fix driven. It’s important to distinguish between what is asked for and what is needed.
What is often asked for is advice; what is needed is insight. What is often demanded is a quick fix; what is required is perspective.
This training program is strongly grounded in the philosophy to resist the pull of quick fixes so that we can help others' expand into long-term self-empowerment.
"I now have clarity"
"In one single session, I now have clarity about what I need to do and where to go next."
- Z., Director of research at MIT

THE SIX-MODULE JOURNEY
Each module lives inside the on-demand Neuro Wisdom Library and becomes a foundation for live integration.
WEEK 1
WISDOM - Emergence
Emergence + innate intelligence - Things arise and unfold in each moment that we cannot predict or trace.
Access the intelligence your nervous system already holds
Week 1: The Valley of Learning & Growth
In our first Academy session, we’ll explore what happens as human beings move through learning, growth and transformation, and how we can support that process in ways that strengthen well-being, agency and adaptation.
We’ll explore:
The valley of learning and growth:
what happens when someone moves beyond what is familiar and into new ways of thinking, responding and being.
The brain activity beneath transformation:
I’ll walk you through patterns I’ve observed as people move through meaningful change.
The role of the helper:
how coaches, practitioners, educators and leaders neurologically support someone through a learning journey (the neuroscience of what you may already be doing with clients), and how it can affect their brain activity.
Your own lens:
how to begin seeing these patterns through your unique expertise, both in your own experience and in the people you support.
You’ll begin practicing how to:
See what you already do through a neuroscience lens.
Rather than simply learning neuroscience terminology, you’ll use what we explore to identify the patterns you already notice in your work ..and connect them with what may be happening in the brain-body system.
By the end of the session, you’ll begin developing concrete, personalized and resonant language for explaining your own work and expertise.
Language that comes from your observations, your experience and your way of seeing human beings... now strengthened by a deeper understanding of the neuroscience beneath it.
This is what I want the Academy to help you do again and again: see more deeply into the work you already do, and find language for the science beneath it that actually feels like yours.
Co-create science-informed ideas, content, and projects that help you align with your voice and vision.
WEEK 2
CLARITY - Emanation
Emanation: We are vibrational beings, constantly transmitting frequencies. We'll look at voice and other vibrational signatures of human experience.
Explore transmitting a clear, coherent signal that reflects your wisdom.
WEEK 3
MINDSET - Energy Regulation
Energy Regulation: We are energy-conserving systems, and change requires work. We'll explore brain maps and brain-body signatures related to growth and why humans often resort to old or unhelpful patterns (and what we can do to change this).
How to infuse your work with language that empowers others with the actual mechanisms of belief and growth
WEEK 4
ADAPTATION - Self Regulation
Self-regulation + flexibility: Regulation as range, repertoire and the capacity to make skillful shifts across contexts. We'll explore flexibility, resilience and heart rate variability and how this connects to your clients' adaptiveness.
How to frame your work, insights and tools with the science of adaptive self-regulation
WEEK 5
ATTUNEMENT - Co Regulation
Connection + co-regulation: Making micro-adjustments based on feedback. We'll explore eye gaze and movement, attachment neuroscience and affiliative hormones.
How to frame your work, insights and tools with the science of adaptive co-regulation
WEEK 6
ASCENSION - Super Regulation
Super-regulation + transcendence: We'll explore how various brain-body systems connect in order to integrate our experiences into higher coherence, agency and contribution.
How to frame your work, insights and tools with the science of adaptive super-regulation

My Story
Years ago, I witnessed students I worked with undergo a significant shift in self-belief, altering their life's direction. These shifts sparked my curiosity about the mind's ability to change from unhealthy behaviors and negative cycles to new paths. This led me to study neuropsychology, focusing on self-directed neuroplasticity, mindset, and unconscious processes affecting our physiology and interactions.
Understanding the mechanics behind mind shifts, I shared these insights with schools, organizations, and individuals, helping them make positive life changes.
My work then expanded to teaching 'helpers'—teachers, parents, leaders—about the science behind their impact. This knowledge transformed my personal and professional life, attracting global audiences and leading to partnerships with influential organizations. Now, I blend neuroscience and mindset transformation to help clients enhance their expertise and global impact.
Clients who have used my services have attracted entire new teams of coaches who want to work with them, have been accepted to speak for massive global audiences like TED talks, and Mindvalley, and have reached completely new audiences by having a clear, science informed message about the benefits of their work.

Who teaches
Super Regulators Neuroscience Academy?
The Academy is led by Stefanie Faye. Stefanie is a world-renowned neuroscience expert who works with private clients and large organizations such as MIT, the FBI, Google, Stanford, and Northwestern University, as well as with non-profits, coaches, consultants and educators all over the world. Her graduate studies from New York University focused on self-directed neuroplasticity, self-regulation, and empathy
She has expertise in brain mapping (qEEG), heart rate variability, and other neurophysiological measurements that are used to guide people’s journeys of transformation and overall well-being. She combines all of that with mindfulness training in monasteries and from meditation masters from India, Vietnam and Africa.
Gina D’Andrea-Penna is a neuroscientist, writer, and wellness coach who explores the intersection of the brain, mind, and body through the science of resilience. She earned a B.A. in neuroscience from Dartmouth College and a Ph.D. in neurosciences from UC San Diego, where she investigated how lifestyle factors shape brain dynamics and self-regulation.
Through the Health and Human Performance Foundation, Gina currently conducts research on the effects of breath control on stress regulation, cognition, and overall health. In addition, to extend her work beyond academia, Gina co-founded Nexus Fitness, where she integrates neuroscience into a holistic approach for improving physical, mental, and cognitive health.
As Stefanie’s assistant in past and present programs, she supports members in understanding and applying embodied neuroscience, both for their own growth and to better serve others.
Across her roles, Gina is driven by a single aim: helping people reconnect with and embody their authentic selves, so they can contribute to the world in a way only they can.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this for and who is this not for?
This training is not for people who only care about quick fixes, or having lots of followers. This is for anyone who is creating a leadership role for themselves within their community or organization. It’s for people who want to leave their mark and create positive change.
This training is about creating a path for you that fulfills and excites you, and continuously brings you more opportunity for helping others and sharing your wisdom.
What’s different about this program compared with other professional development trainings?
1) Neuroscience is the core curriculum, not an addition
The biggest difference is that the neuroscience and neurobiology information is the centerpiece of the curriculum, rather than a side-note. The reason for this is that my experience and research show that when people truly understand and internalize the mechanics, and ‘inner workings’ of the mind, mental states, emotions, they are better able to a) replicate it because these processes are now conscious and b) explain it to others because they have the correct wording for it and a step-by-step explanation, rather than noticing things without knowing ‘why’.
2) Personalized, Authentic Connection-Building
I’m moving away from the increasingly popular model of an ‘expert’ getting people to pay for their knowledge, but then packaging it for the masses and having little to no actual interaction with the participants. This model goes against what I teach – presence, connection and ‘psychological safety’ are core needs for learning. This can be done through technology (for example, in the video conference sessions), but I hope to model trust- and empathy-building with students in ‘real time’ – because that is how they will be interacting with the people they are leading.
3) Follow-Through and Follow-Up Incentives
Most training programs don’t give you incentive to actually take any action. Because you will be sharing what you already know and practice, you will be challenged to implement your insights and apply neuroscience directly into your work. Follow-Up: I rarely see training programs offer students the chance to re-connect and share insights and challenges after the training is over. The follow-up integration call will allow participants to stay in touch and build community.
What are benefits of this program?
With this training, you'll:
- gain a customized understanding of precisely why and how YOUR mission, vision, approaches and expertise are supported by peer-reviewed (not over-popularized, simplified and gimmicky) neuroscience;
- increase engagement and buy-in from audiences, clients and stakeholders who want more than 'fluff' and are skeptical of 'self-help' or 'soft skills'
- stand out from other professionals who are not infusing neuroscience into their work (and losing out on entire oceans of opportunity)
- stand out from other professionals who are repeating what they've heard in podcasts or blogs (and sound like everyone else who's heard about that topic)
- gain a fresh source of science-induced inspiration and phrasing for your website, social media, emails, presentations and programs to help you gain diverse and science-curious clients and stakeholders
- re-invigorate and enhance your existing content, frameworks and programs with clear, science-informed language and understanding that is tailored directly to your work and the people you serve
When are the trainings?
Please see timeline above for dates and times. Our first live session is October 19th at 1 PM Mountain Time.
What if I can't attend most (or any) of the dates offered?
There will be recordings for all of them that you can access any time. You can submit your work or questions for feedback and even if you can't make it, we will address them during the session and you can check out the recording.
There are people attending from all over the world, so the times are based on what can work best for multiple time zones. Additional Q&A sessions may be scheduled to accommodate the group's availability as best we can.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes for VIP and Live Academy, after you've attended the first live group session, you can ask for a full refund. For the Digital Academy, you can request a refund within 24 hours of purchasing.
What if I'm not ready to decide right now? Will there still be spots later?
This is your only chance to have live interaction with me and an incredible community in 2026, and there's a chance I will not hold a live academy in 2027! This is an introductory price, and will likely go up in future versions. I do not offer private sessions to the public and consulting services with me are way beyond the tuition of this program. My suggestion is that if it sounds like it aligns with you, sign up and if you decide it's not the right fit after you've attended our first group session, you can request a refund.
What if I still have questions?
Please click on the Super-Regulators Request for Information and enter your email address.
You'll receive an email shortly after that and you can reply directly to it with your questions!
"I was creating a program for one of the biggest companies in the world and needed to make sure that our assertions on neuroscience were perfect. Stefanie not only is an expert in neuroscience but she is able to explain the concepts in ways that are digestible. This combination, along with the fact that she is a dream partner to work with is why I cannot wait to work with Stefanie again and cannot recommend her enough.
"
- JON GORDON, Senior Partner, HumanSide
"I highly recommend this. Stefanie understands how to sequence information to ensure that learning opportunities are maximised. Her method of teaching is to facilitate the learning and let the learning do the convincing. By stimulating curiosity, she is able to stimulate those very fundamental neural mechanisms that are core to learning in her learners."
- MICHAEL SHELLSHEAR, Current Chairperson of the Australian Society of Alexander Technique Teachers
TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"Real aha moments... it transcends culture"
"this form of embodied neuroscience has helped me provide people with the why and the how and a really deep understanding of themselves and how they co-regulate with children. It transcends culture.. It's a real aha moment. And the one thing I think that's really quite beautiful about it, it removes judgment, stigma - Lisa Low, Beyond Bridges Education
"helped us connect all the dots of what we were teaching"
"helped us to connect all the dots of understanding what we were teaching to athletes and to high performers and how that related to neurophysiology, neuropsychology, and neuroscience. It gave me so much confidence knowing that everything we were delivering was in alignment with those pieces of the puzzle. - Ryan Sawyer, Heart First Coaching
"coming up with amazing frameworks for my clients, "
"Having that language and context around things that I already taught people and knew intuitively has just been wonderful. One of the most common things my clients say is, ‘Oh my gosh, I have never heard this before. Where did you get this?’” It has just been transformational for people so far. I have been coming up with all of these amazing frameworks for my clients, which kind of weave everything in." - Jen Jacobsen, ADHD Over Forty
"neuroscience has been a great connective tissue"
"puts hard science to the last 100 years of behavioral science and what was sort of proven in the 'soft skills' and made it hard. And with my client group, neuroscience has been just a great connective tissue. It's been really a fun way to connect with those people who are very different thinkers." - Daniel Lieberman, Executive and Leadership Coach
