Background

About Caroline Leaf

Currently: I am a communication pathologist and research neuroscientist with a Master's and Ph.D. in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in psychoneurobiology and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s, I have researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. I was one of the first in my field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input. My career as an applied neuroscientist spans clinical, education, field research, and government contract experience. After attaining my foundational education in the neuroscience of communication pathology, I operationalized my knowledge of neuropsychology in decades of government contracts with South African departments of education and clinical patient work. In this work, I trained educators and therapists on classroom-based intervention for learning and mental health management that impacted the lives of thousands of students and teachers. During this time, I began developing my Neurocycle® and Metacog system for mind management. I proceeded to vet this system throughout her 20 years of clinical experience as a mental health and communication therapist, working with a highly neurodiverse population including patients with learning disabilities, autism, TBI, CTE, PTSD, dementia, and stroke. With the desire to share my immense success more widely, I have authored over 18 books in 22 languages and developed the Leaf Mind Management Scale (LMM)™, a validated psychometric tool, to measure the significant results that the Neurocycle® is able to facilitate for users. Additionally, I have partnered with a clinical team of neurologists and neuroscience practitioners to further review the efficacy of my work using blood measure testing and QEEG assessment, both of which have revealed statistically significant mental health improvement for Neurocycle® users. Throughout this time, I have been invited to present my work at hundreds of corporate and academic institutions, including Fortune 500 companies and the highest-ranked universities in Africa. Currently, after 30+ years of clinical and applied neuroscience research practice, I am focused on sharing my findings in academic publications, including upcoming peer-reviewed articles on the benefits of the Neurocycle® as shown by clinical research using blood measures and QEEG tests, psychometric validation of my Leaf Mind Management Scale (LMM)™ as a mindfulness measurement tool, studies in partnership with US school districts, and more.
