Jay Johnson is not your typical executive, neuroscientist, or transformational strategist. She’s a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience in clinical research, neuroscience, and holistic human performance, bringing a rare combination of scientific rigor, transpersonal insight, and practical leadership to her work.

With 23+ years in clinical research across the pharmaceutical and medical device corporate sectors, Jay has led high-performing teams, trained staff, and managed complex clinical trials with precision and integrity. Her experience spans building rapport with sites, navigating regulatory frameworks, and executing KPI-driven outcomes with measurable impact. Before that, she served as a clinical specialist, developing relationships and coaching healthcare professionals to elevate performance and patient care.

Jay’s expertise is anchored in a deep foundation of psychology and neuroscience. She has completed graduate-level training in Clinical Psychology and Neuroscience, with undergraduate studies in Foundations of Psychology and Neuroscience. She has also studied Transpersonal Psychology with the Newman Institute, integrating cutting-edge neuroscience with somatic, mindfulness, and emotional regulation practices. Her work blends mind, body, and the energy of the soul…helping leaders, creators, and organizations navigate stress, optimize decision-making, and operate from aligned, coherent states.

A United States Air Force veteran with a nursing background, Jay has always operated at the intersection of science, service, and human potential. She specializes in nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and experiential learning—empowering others to integrate cognitive insights with emotional mastery for sustainable performance and well-being.

Jay is also host of the Harness the Shift podcast. Her podcast brings thought leaders, wellness experts, and high performers together to explore personal transformation, nervous system mastery, and conscious leadership. The mission is to inspire listeners to step into their purpose while cultivating resilience, presence, and aligned action.

Jay’s approach is informed by practical frameworks such as Myers-Briggs personality insights, Human Design awareness, and the science of neuroplasticity, applied in corporate, creative, and personal development contexts. Her vision includes immersive retreats that combine mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic practices to help participants integrate knowledge, reset the nervous system, and embody higher states of consciousness.

Jay’s purpose is to serve as a connector and facilitator, bridging people, ideas, and experiences to unlock growth and transformation. She creates spaces where individuals and teams can align their mind, body, and spirit, cultivate clarity, and activate their highest potential. Through her work, Jay guides others to navigate complexity, integrate insight with action, and step fully into their purpose with confidence, presence, and embodied resilience.
