BRAVE Restoration - NeuroChange

Hi, I’m Julia LeFevre, a certified NeuroChange Professional.

You might be wondering what that means—until a few years ago, I hadn’t heard the term either! Let me share how I ended up here.

I began my career as an English teacher, instructing adults returning to college how to write sentences, paragraphs, and papers to complete their degrees. That was the “what” of my job.

But I quickly realized the “why.” It wasn’t just about writing—it was about helping people build a skill that empowered them. That’s what kept me coming back. I found my passion in empowering others.

That passion led to a career change. I started working with leaders, helping them grow. After a few years, I returned to school and earned a master’s in organizational leadership from the Townsend Institute.

This experience was a game-changer. I learned practical leadership skills integrated with the latest neuroscience. Over the last 20 years, neuroscientists have discovered that our brains are wired to learn through experiences, not just ideas.

This understanding changed how I lead and coach. As a teacher, I used to focus on giving people new ideas and techniques. Since people grow best through safe, relational experiences, I now recognize people need more than information—we need new experiences to experience transformation. 

That’s why I started Brave Restoration. It’s a people restoration company where I create safe, confidential spaces for leaders to grow. Even more, I help leaders turn their divided teams into dream teams!

As a certified NeuroChange Professional, I guide individuals and teams through a process that helps uncover core wounds. This discovery then informs the healing and strengthening process. The result is lasting transformation.
