“To anyone considering a fresh, scientifically-grounded approach to personal growth: I can’t recommend Liadan enough. As a neuroscientist, she brings a unique perspective that bridges the gap between science and self-improvement. I sought her expertise after years in therapy, craving tools rooted in solid research. Not only has she provided invaluable strategies for managing my anxiety and depression, but she’s also enriched both my professional and personal life immeasurably. Trust me, you won’t regret taking this transformative journey with her.”

-Chelsea

"I've worked with Liadan for nearly a year and in this year my life has gone through a transformative change.  She's brought out the best in me.  Where I once struggled with the heaviness of my life, my career, my marriage, my family, and felt lost, Liadan helped me to be happier, healthier and more secure.  I was adrift and now I have direction; I am in control of where my life is going and I know where I want my life to go. Liadan inspires, she listens, and she offers perspective from her years of experience that stokes inside of you new ways of thinking.  She has her finger on the pulse of the latest in her field with a curiosity and passion that serves to illustrate her love for what she does and for helping others. Rarely do you encounter someone as impressive as Liadan, someone that can have such a profound altering impact on your life.  I couldn't recommend her any more highly and I look forward to working with Liadan for many, many years to come."

-Morrison 

“Liadan is fantastic, and I highly recommend her coaching services. She has helped me through some very difficult situations in my personal and professional life over the past year, offering countless science-based, practical, and empathetic suggestions for approaching and working through challenges. I feel more centered and confident in my choices after a session with Liadan, and I believe I am in a better place in my life now than I would be without the support of her coaching.” 

-Emily

“Liadan has, through her studied experience of how the mind works, given me the ability to begin rewiring my outlook on life. She is incredibly patient while always pushing for progress at a pace that has never overwhelmed me but instead keeps me motivated. If you're on the fence about the idea of working with a coach, this is the right place to hop off and give it a try!”

-Andre

"One of the most spectacular things about Liadan is the rich working relationship she will build with you. She is so passionate about life, and she will recognize all the beauty in yours. In every session, she makes me feel so seen. Week after week, Liadan will listen intently to your goals, internalize them, and essentially make them her own. Leading up to your next session, she will do research to supplement her already massive supply of brain-hacking strategies. And if by the next session you haven’t accomplished that goal you set for yourself last week, she will be ready to share all this new information with you so you can feel confident trying again this week. It is truly a mutually beneficial relationship because she loves to do this, and with her help you will grow to love it too."

-Chris

"Working with Liadan is like speaking with a longtime friend who always offers sound (scientifically backed!) advice no matter the situation you’re in. She’s given me the tools to view things from a different perspective on both past, present, and future situations, which has given me a freedom to work through several scenarios with confidence. Liadan is very personable, empathetic, and professional and I’m so grateful to have found her!"

-Tiffany

"It was my first time doing any kind of science-backed coaching, and it was so useful! With Liadan's help, I was able to learn more about how my brain works and why I was getting stuck on behaviors that weren't healthy or productive. With her guidance I was able to establish better habits, focus better at work, and feel better about myself. I highly recommend this program."

-Taylor 

"Turns out that I'm genetically predisposed to Alzheimer's. Liadan helped calm me down, and explained how lifestyle is a big factor to warding off these diseases. She gave me a protocol of recommendations of what I can incorporate into my lifestyle to protect my brain against dementia. I've had some difficulty in sticking to new habits in the past, but Liadan guided me and broke down how to create better habits. I'm already making changes! For your brain health and wellbeing, Liadan's support is definitely one to get."

-Brian

"When I first started working with Liadan, I wasn't feeling energized. What I really like about her approach is that she helped me look at my data and my lifestyle to figure out what was causing the issue in the first place. That was huge because before that I had no idea. She helped me create new routines and habits that helped me feel much better. Now I'm actually getting proper sleep and know when to rest. I feel less overwhelmed, and more capable to take on life's challenges. Hire her."

-Hanna

"Most of my life I've had very negative thoughts. Liadan taught me how they were established by explaining some neuroscience to me. I don't have a science background, but she made it really simple to understand. She helped me work through my negative thoughts. Now I think more positively, especially about myself. I recommend her coaching especially to anyone that struggles with negative beliefs or thoughts about themselves."

-Nicole

"I have anxiety and depression. Previously I have worked with therapists, but wasn't getting anywhere. They kept prescribing me medication that wasn't working. When I found Liadan's coaching program, I thought to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! While, somedays I still feel anxious or sad, Liadan helped me understand what is happening in my brain to create my mental health struggles. She guided me in making changes to support my mental health. Now I get out of bed without anxiety. On the rare day that I do feel anxious, I now have some strategies I can use to battle it. Working with her has been really life changing!"
