Brain Coaching with Dr. Melanie McNally

Courses

I’m on a mission to help you tune out the noise of the world so you can tun into what’s truly important.

  • You’re the parent of an adolescent and feel helpless as they deal with big feelings, friend problems, and trying to fit in. You’ve tried so many other things before and are frustrated with how little progress your kid has made.

  • You’re a teen or young adult and you’re sick of people telling you what to do and how to do it. You’re lost and overwhelmed enough on your own, you don’t need others making it worse. You know if you had the right resources and help, you’d be able to get clear on what you want out of life.

  • You’re an adult who’s been taught to stay quiet and small. You’re ready to blow the lid off, figure out who you are, and scream it from the rooftops. You’ve got things to do, baby!

I combine personal development + neuroscience + coaching + accountability to create a clear path forward that everyone feels excited about.

  • As a parent of an adolescent, you’ll get support and action steps that you can begin using immediately. Like TODAY.

  • As a teen or young adult, you’ll have someone who is 100% in your corner to help you figure out what you want out of life. No agenda.

  • As an adult, you’ll get clear on your values, find your voice, and figure out what your next steps are going to be. You’ll get an accountability partner who not just cheers you on, but who has the skills and knowledge to make sure you’re taking the easiest path.

I’m so grateful I have you to talk to. I’m so comfortable with you and I love knowing that I have someone I trust so much to help and guide me.
— Teen client
My sister asked what it is about you that I find so helpful and I told her it’s that you listen, like really listen. I can tell you sincerely care about me and you ask the right questions that help me figure out what I need to do.
— Young adult
We’ve noticed so much growth and maturity in the short amount of time she’s worked with you. The outbursts have practically stopped and she seems like such a mature version of herself now. We have you to thank for that.
— Parent of tween
Wow, we’re seeing major shifts in self-confidence lately. She’s like a different person, so self-assured and (dare I say) assertive?! Thank you!
