Book Dr. Najmeh to Speak

Where neuroscience meets art, breath, and the nervous system.

I'm a neuroscientist and university professor — I've taught the brain to doctoral students since 2015 — and I'm also a painter and a lifelong student of movement and meditation. What makes my talks different is that bridge: I don't just tell an audience that art, breath, or stillness “help.” I stand in front of them as an actual brain scientist and show them why — what's happening in the nervous system, and how to use it.

What I speak about

• The neuroscience of art — why making and looking at art changes the brain, and what that means for creativity and healing.
• The neuroscience of breath — how the way we breathe reaches the nervous system, stress, and focus.
• The neuroscience of meditation — what actually changes in the brain, minus the mysticism.
• The neuroscience of the mind–body connection — stress, the immune system, and resilience.
• Paint Your Nervous System — an experiential keynote that blends science with hands-on practice.

Why it's worth it for your event or team

Audiences leave with more than notes. My talks are built to lower stress and burnout, spark creativity and focus, and give people simple, science-backed tools they can actually use — delivered by someone who moves fluidly between hard neuroscience and lived, human experience. Talks can be a keynote, an interactive workshop, or a virtual session, and I speak in both English and Farsi.

Perfect for conferences, companies and teams, wellness and creative events, universities, and community or women's gatherings.
