Neuroscience Coaching + Neuroeducation
Helping people transform their lives by making important emotional, cognitive, and behavioral changes.
Neuroscience-proven solutions to improve emotional intelligence, think and feel in better ways, create new behaviors, build healthier habits, and enhance well-being.
When disruptive behaviors create tension and negatively affect relationships.
When low self-esteem, lack of confidence and self-talk cause anxiety and negatively affect quality of life.
When substance use or abuse are causing negative life consequences.
I provide transformative, neuroscience-based solutions to foster change, produce results and improve quality of life.
Tapping into the brain’s natural ability to change, adapt and evolve (called neuroplasticity), I help clients create healthier emotional and cognitive experiences, choose better behaviors, build better habits, and align their life’s direction with their core values and personal goals.
Our work together begins with identifying WHAT you want to change. I help you with the HOW to change.
Using proven neuroscience-based techniques, we retrain your brain to experience emotions and feelings, create and process thoughts, and respond behaviorally in new and different ways that are important to you, and others in your life.
This approach empowers you to take meaningful steps toward the life you want—one rooted in intention, meaning, resilience, and purpose. You start to gain a level of control and mastery over yourself like you’ve never experienced.
Hi, I’m George Haymaker III
People can and do change. I’m living proof of it.
I’ve taken this journey myself.
After years of battling anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and behavioral challenges, I reached a tipping point when I became addicted to pain pills and alcohol. Faced with the choice between life and death, I chose to find a new way to live — and I’m deeply grateful I did.
Neuroscience informs us our brains have an incredible ability to change, adapt and evolve. Because the brain can change, so can a person’s experience of their emotions, feelings, thoughts, perceptions, behaviors and habits. But only if they have the needed motivation and commitment. This means it’s possible to shift how we think, experience emotions and feelings, and respond to challenges—even disruptive behaviors and emotions like low self-esteem, addiction, anger, aggression, hyper-sensitivity or resistance to feedback.
As a Certified Neuroscience Coach & Consultant who has transformed my own life, I help individuals overcome psychological and behavioral challenges that are holding them back from reaching their full potential and being their best versions. My clients include corporate managers, executives, entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, and college students—high-performing individuals who often struggle with emotional regulation, negative thoughts or behavioral control.
With a compassionate yet direct approach, I combine lessons from my own personal transformation, my advanced training and education, and decades of life and professional experience to help my clients achieve lasting change and the best versions of themselves.

“For many years, I walked the path of a working professional—starting, building, operating, leading several companies as an entrepreneur.
The demands and stress of that life, a genetic predisposition to addiction, unmet psychological needs and unresolved trauma from childhood led me to bottom out, but also became the foundation for my greatest learning and growth.
I had a clear choice to make. Either make some very important changes in my life or watch what was left of it deteriorate in disappointment, heartbreak and unfulfilled potential.”

Why work with me?
Science-Driven Transformation
By leveraging evidence-based techniques rooted in neuroscience, I help clients improve emotional intelligence, re-evaluate their thoughts and develop more productive behaviors - building those into habits and healthier lifestyles.
Neuroplasticity is a key principle of neuroscience i.e. the brain's ability to change, adapt and evolve through experience and learning. If we are motivated, we can create new and different emotional experiences than what we are accustomed, challenge our thoughts, develop new behaviors and build new habits into lifestyles.
A person can change their own emotional, thought and behavioral experiences if they are motivated and committed to following a specific process of change. By doing so, they can create a much healthier way of being for themselves and those around them.
Compassionate, Direct Coaching Style + Psychoeducation
I combine a compassionate but direct coaching style with insights and knowledge gained from my own recovery, training and education in neuroscience and coaching with years of experience working with others on psychological and behavior changes.
There are underlying causes for the way we experience emotions, evaluate thoughts, and behave towards others; they are a function of our past experiences and how those have been encoded in our our brains. Any unwanted or uncomfortable experience stems from an internal struggle that is the result of our past experiences or the brain’s response to a perceived threat.
We will unpack and investigate all this during the coaching process. Demonstrating compassion and empathy for the client opens a pathway to the identifying the internal struggle, builds trust, and motivates change. I help clients recognize and change unwanted psychological and behavioral patterns, facilitating self-awareness, understanding, acceptance, and sustainable changes.
Holistic Support for You & Your Brain
My coaching doesn’t stop with sessions - I am in contact between sessions with tips and reminders. I am also available to clients for unscheduled support throughout their coaching journey, providing real-time support as challenges arise.
Making change in the brain requires energy; the brain is the biggest energy consumer in the body. Learning and movement require the most energy. I include teachings in nutrition, diet, exercise, sleep and mindfulness to ensure the brain has the resources it needs to make the changes we are asking of it.
Coaching support for working professionals
Why are some managers or executives difficult to be around or behave in challenging ways?
The reasons are rooted in their past experiences in the brain.
Terminating an employee can cost an organization between 1 - 2 times their annual salary when taking into account all direct and indirect costs.
For a small fraction of that cost, doesn’t it make financial and cultural sense to try and rehabilitate an otherwise good employee instead of terminating them?
Especially when neuroscience has proven that the brain is capable of facilitating sustainable behavior changes?
Behavior Change is possible through Neuroscience Coaching!
Why do some people struggle to control their drinking or drug use, even when every fiber in their body is telling them they need to quit?
The reasons are rooted in past experiences, genetics, maladaptive coping methods, and therefore the brain. The reward pathways in the brain get altered by substance use.
The neurological effects of addiction is the same for everyone, but the specifics of the solution is unique to each person. I should know as I have been in recovery for many years, initially went to treatment centers, was a member of Alcoholics Anonymous where I sponsored many newcomers, and experimented with many different methods and approaches to recovery.
Due to their treatment models, traditional treatment programs often fail to address the individual needs of a person in recovery, leaving gaps that make lasting change difficult. The vast majority of people relapse within one year after leaving a traditional treatment program.
For a fraction of the emotional, physical, and financial cost of ongoing relapse or repeated treatment, doesn’t it make sense to invest in a personalized neuroscience-based approach to recovery instead? Since successful Recovery requires that changes be made in the brain, doesn’t it also make sense to work with someone trained in neuroscience coaching?
A new life is possible! Neuroscience recovery coaching is personalized, private, one-on-one, confidential, safe and specific to what works best for the client. Your life doesn’t have to be put on hold while you recover.
As a recovering alcoholic and pain pill addict myself, I’ve compiled everything I’ve learned (some of it the hard way!) into how I coach Recovery.
As a college student, do you struggle with confidence, self-esteem, negative self-talk ?
Engaged in negative self-talk?
Feel the weight of high expectations, either your own or from others?
Are the stresses of life causing you anxiety?
Are you prepared for the next phase of your life after graduating?
Are you coping with stress by using drugs and alcohol?
These struggles are often interlinked and are represented physiologically in the brain. You’ll be fascinated by how much control you actually have over your brain and your ability to make changes to it!
Traditional approaches to personal growth and development often fail to address the unique needs of each student, and fail to account for how the brain physiologically creates change, making any type of change temporary and short-term.
For a fraction of the psychological and financial costs of anxiety, fear, burnout, missed opportunities, procrastination, and feeling like you’re being left behind, doesn’t it make sense to invest in a personalized, neuroscience-based approach to self-improvement instead?
Psychological and behavioral change is possible through Neuroscience Coaching for Students! Become the CEO of your own brain and all it can do, instead of your brain having control over you!
As someone who struggled in college and as a young adult myself with lack of confidence, low self-esteem, negative self-talk and substance abuse, I can relate and feel compassion for those that struggle.
Now I know how to retrain the brain to develop a new sense of self, new ways of experiencing emotions, thoughts, and feelings, as well as new ways of responding to our environment.
