Neurvora was founded by Dr. Matteson, a Doctor of Psychology, and Dr. Smith, a Doctor of Nursing Practice, combining expertise in psychology, neuroscience, behavioral health, and performance optimization with firsthand experience competing and succeeding in high-pressure environments.

As former coaches and competitive Junior Olympic Level 10 gymnasts, with Dr. Matteson also competing at the collegiate level, they know the mental demands of performing when expectations are high and every moment matters. Their careers have expanded that perspective through years of working with professional and elite athletes, healthcare professionals, executives, students, and other high achievers striving to perform at their best while balancing stress, recovery, and everyday life.
