Our speaker, Michaela de Gier, is a Learning & Development Educator who makes brain science practical, accessible, and life-changing.

With decades of experience in movement-based neurodevelopment and neuroscience-informed education, she helps children and adults understand how the brain and body work together to shape learning, behaviour, and confidence.

Her approach is simple: when you work with the brain instead of against it, learning becomes calmer, lighter, and more effective.

Known for turning complex neuroscience into clear, real-world strategies, Michaela equips educators, parents, and professionals with tools they can use immediately.

She specialises in uncovering and addressing hidden barriers to learning—especially those rooted in the nervous system—using a drug-free, bottom-up approach that leverages neuroplasticity, movement, and sensory integration. Through tools like Primitive Reflex Assessments and personalised strategies, she helps strengthen the connection between the senses, brain, and body to support clearer thinking, stronger memory, and greater confidence.

Today, Michaela shares how understanding the brain—particularly how memory and learning truly work—can transform the way we learn, adapt, and thrive.
