Neurozone® was founded in 2011 by Dr. Etienne van der Walt and company director Tony Kirton. As a clinical neurologist, Etienne was increasingly aware of the urgent need to develop innovative solutions for individuals and teams to reduce the risk of burnout and prevent the brain-body system implosion.

To address this growing epidemic, he conceptualized the first model for Brain Performance, delivering evidence-based interventions to build resilience as the buffer against burnout and simultaneously unlock human capacity for high performance.

The model then developed the Neurozone® High Performance Code as a paradigm for managing and optimizing the individual and collective brain-body system for High Performance and enhancing resilience capacity.

The Neurozone® High Performance Code provides organizations with invaluable insights into how underlying human performance drivers affect key business outcomes and informs all of the development of Neurozone®'s products.

Neurozone® has simplified science into practical, usable products that have measurable results. Notably, we provide our clients with a scientifically robust, integrative lens into burnout risk, resilience levels, and interventions to improve performance outcomes.
