Passion and knowledge = great stuff :-)

Thanks so much Gregory! I really liked your passion and dedication as well as your deep knowledge about the brain, which was obvious each and every second. Your authenticity makes the learning experience unique. You love what you do, no doubt. How valuable is that! :-) You inspired me (and I am sure, everyone who has a brain - and a heart) to think with my own brain about how to implement the insights in my coaching practice.

The Perfect Balance of Theory and Flexibility

I’ve wanted to take this course for a long time, and I am thrilled to finally be certified. The depth of knowledge provided is exceptional; I’ve already started applying the concepts to my personal life, I can now easily identify my own amygdala triggers! Choosing the self-study option allowed me to seamlessly integrate the learning with my full-time job. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to build a scientifically solid foundation for their coaching practice

The Brain Coach / Brain Academy program…

The Brain Coach / Brain Academy program offers a well-structured and practical approach to understanding how the brain shapes perception, decision-making, and behavior. It successfully bridges cognitive psychology and neuroscience with real-world application, making complex concepts accessible and relevant for professionals working in coaching, leadership, and development.

What stands out in this program is its focus on how individuals construct reality through cognitive biases, beliefs, and learned patterns. By bringing these mechanisms into awareness, the program enables a deeper level of insight into human behavior—both personal and interpersonal. This is particularly valuable in coaching and leadership contexts, where the quality of perception directly influences the quality of decisions and interactions.

The exploration of biases, projection, and behavioral compensation provides a strong framework for understanding underlying drivers of behavior. These elements support more precise interventions, helping professionals move beyond surface-level solutions toward meaningful and sustainable change.

In practice, the program enhances:

* awareness of thinking patterns and mental models
* ability to reframe limiting beliefs
* capacity to work with cognitive biases constructively
* depth and precision in coaching and communication

The value of Brain Coach / Brain Academy becomes most evident when its concepts are actively integrated into practice. When applied consistently, it strengthens the ability to navigate complexity, expand perspective, and support transformation in individuals and teams.

Overall, this program represents a solid and relevant addition to the development of coaches, leaders, and professionals who aim to understand not only what people do—but how they perceive, interpret, and respond to the world around them.

Valuable Program

The Brain Academy program has been an impactful experience. I now view human behavior in a totally different way. The program made neuroscience easy to understand and I am able to apply it in practical ways. I find it reassuring that what I’ve learned here is also reiterated throughout the neuroscience community.

A No-Brainer Choice for a Neuroscience Coaching Career

If you’re looking for a coaching career in neuroscience, then Brain Academy is a no-brainer. It’s not an easy ride, but the knowledge you gain during this 12-week program will raise your proficiency to a high level and help accelerate both your own growth and your clients’ growth. Gregory is a master at explaining complex things in an easy, digestible way. And his special sense of humor is a great assistance throughout the whole process

One of the best courses I've ever had

One of the best courses I've ever had. Gregory built a tremendously well-rounded course meant to help individuals develop their own understanding in an emerging field. He puts in a lot of work to keep the courses up to date, the course has the right level of information, exercise and the right pace, in my personal opinion. I'd do it all over again every year.

NEUROSCIENCE THAT IS EVIDENCE-BASED AND PRACTICAL

The self-paced format of the Brain Academy gave me the flexibility I needed for my current lifestyle and responsibilities. The videos were engaging and informative. Most importantly for me, this program combined an evidence-based curriculum with practical application and experiences. Understanding human behavior from a brain science perspective empowers the client with knowledge and tools to overcome challenges. Not only did I learn how to better help my clients, I was also reminded of strategies/tools I need to support and maintain my own optimal health and well-being.

It has been a great experience

It has been a great experience, the course is clear and the learning is done in an enjoyable way, step by step, creating link in between the sessions.
The course has helped me reinforce what I learned through other coaching school and give a deeper understanding on how we work (the impact our brain has in our life). Thank you Gregory, thank you to all the Brain Coaching Academy team!

Brain Academy a blow mind experience!

The Information and the Videos are great, the exercises help to memorize a lot of information the video of the people who was able to attend live on line, reinforce the concepts just learned, if possible will like to have summary notes can be downloaded for coming back as needed, also a bibliography of recommended books and articles with link will be outstanding for delving into the subject
I really enjoy the Coaching training, already applying in myself and future clients, definitely will keep participating in the Brain academy events, already bought the book from Gregory Caremans “Is not you, is your Brain” so far has a great reminder of all the huge amount of knowledge from the training

Neuroplasticity explained simply :)

Gregory has put in a lot of effort to make the content easy to understand and apply to real world setting. Going through the content was enjoyable, and spurs my interest to learn more (novelty). Thanks Brain Academy, and continue your good work in changing 1 brain at a time! Cheers

Informative and Transformative…

This was informative and Transformative for me. I expected to learn about the brain and how our minds work; I didn't expect I would gain so many new perspectives and thought patterns to take care of my brain and improve my life.

If you enjoy learning and want to help yourself and others through coaching, teaching or therapy, I recommend this investment.

I took the self-paced 12-week certification course. Gregory is engaged personally from the intake call and weekly office hours. As a teacher, Gregory is excited about what he continues to learn.. and then he packages the information into accessible and practical content. I filled almost entire notebook with notes from the lectures.

Very happy I took the course!

With a background in physical therapy and a heartfelt drive to never stop learning, I have studied human psychology, neurobehavioral science, neuroplasticity, and coaching modalities for well over a decade. Yet the Brain Coach Program added so much value. Gregory's high standards for science-backed education make this program stand out, and his grounded authenticity and relatability as a teacher are what this world needs more of. Very recommended!

Great program

Great program. A lot of valuable insights and knowledge. The supporting teal is great and very professional. Sometimes watching the recorded videos sounds less immersive rather than being in a live class, but it happens only in a few occasions.

How can I help people grow if I do not understand the machine running the show?

In the process of becoming a certified coach, I asked myself a simple question: How can I help people grow if I do not understand the machine running the show?
I decided then to take a training program in neuro to bake my coaching practice in some real science…
I opted for the 12 weeks self-paced program and really enjoyed it. Great insights, strong foundations, quite complete to cover both physiological and psychological aspect of how “Albert” works.
Already testing some of the techniques and tools with my client and it resonates quite well
I strongly recommend it

The answers I was looking for!

For someone like me, who has been through hell and back with mental challenges, I needed answers about my brain and I FOUND IT! Thank you Gregory for all your life experiences and your teachings. I felt so much at home listening to all that you explained to a lay person like me. All your humor along with the technicalities helped me understand the logic of how the brain operates. People need to know the truth and you have done just that!

My intent was always to help people, and now I have the right tools and the right platform to share my story and make an impact to at least one person before I leave this planet!

A program that nourishes both the brain and the heart

As a scientist, I found the Brain Academy’s coaching program to be an incredibly enriching experience. I particularly appreciated the evidence-based approach, especially the deep dives into neuroplasticity and neurogenesis—topics close to my heart that were presented with both clarity and depth.

But what truly sets this program apart was the human connection. In a world increasingly shaped by impersonal AI, meeting weekly with Gregory and a community of students who generously shared their personal, often deeply inspiring stories felt like being back in a vibrant classroom. It became something I genuinely looked forward to every week—not just for the science, but for the sense of shared growth and mutual support.

This program nourishes both the brain and the heart and I highly recommend it!

This Brain Coaching Certification was so valuable!

This Brain Coaching Certification was an eye-opening and empowering experience!
The training was packed with fascinating insights about how the brain works and—most importantly—how to apply that knowledge in real, everyday situations.
I loved how interactive and engaging the sessions were. Everything was explained in a clear and practical way, making it easy to absorb and apply right away.
I walked away feeling inspired, equipped, and excited to use these tools to make a real difference. I highly recommend this course to anyone passionate about growth, mindset, and transformation!
