Joy Winchester brings the practical application of educational neuroscience to life across all ages—from early childhood and K–12 education to adult learning and personal development. Her passion lies in supporting vulnerable and underserved populations, including children, teens, individuals who are neurodivergent, as well as incarcerated adults, recovering addicts, and those experiencing homelessness.
Joy has completed advanced coursework in educational neuroscience through Johns Hopkins University and Butler University, and holds an international certification in neuroscience and coaching to support brain-based behavior change and adult learning.
As a national speaker, Joy weaves powerful research in neuroscience with real-world insight, engaging audiences around topics like trauma, executive functioning, challenging behavior, and motivation. She is the founder of Wired for Success: The Joy of Neuro, a neuroscience-based coaching and consulting practice that provides brain-based coaching for kids, adults, and parents.
Joy’s work is known for its heart, practicality, and science-backed clarity—and often includes the calm presence of her registered therapy dog in her coaching space.
