Build Your 3 Brains Intelligence™ —
The Missing Link Between Insight and Action
Who’s Really Making Your Decisions — Your Head, Heart, or Gut?
Discover the Hidden Strategies Driving You — and How to Regain Clarity, Confidence, and Inner Calm.
This free test reveals which of your 3 Brains is dominant — the one quietly running the show behind your choices.
Learn how your logic (Head), your need for connection (Heart), and your drive for success and safety (Gut) shape your work, relationships, and well-being.
When you align all three, you stop the inner tug-of-war…
and start living with power, purpose, and peace.
What is
3 Brains Intelligence ©™?
3 Brains Intelligence™ is your ability to recognise, align, and apply the wisdom of your Head, Heart, and Gut — so you can make clear, courageous, and connected decisions.
Most people try to solve their challenges with logic or mindset alone — but that’s like trying to steer a car with only one wheel.
The truth is, you have three internal decision-makers: your Head (logic), your Heart (emotions), and your Gut (instinct).
And when they don’t agree, you can feel stuck, torn, overwhelmed, or exhausted.
The 3 Brains Intelligence method helps you align all three — so you can act with clarity, lead with confidence, and live without inner conflict.
Your Head is your strategic planner — it analyzes, structures, and forecasts the best course of action.
Your Heart guides through empathy and purpose — it cares about meaning, people, and how your choices impact others.
Your Gut is your action-taker and protector — it pushes you forward, keeps you safe, and gives you the drive to act when it matters most.
Each brain has your best interest at heart — but when one dominates the others, imbalance takes over.
-
When the Head leads alone, you can get stuck in overthinking, indecision, or perfectionism — knowing what to do but never doing it.
-
When the Heart takes control, you may lose your boundaries — giving too much, saying yes too often, and neglecting your own needs.
-
When the Gut runs the show, you may charge ahead without reflection — chasing success, control, or security at the cost of connection and meaning.
-
This inner conflict often leads to confusion, hesitation, or self-sabotage — because part of you always feels unheard.
By learning to listen to all three and align their wisdom, you unlock decisions that feel not just productive, but right — in your mind, your body, and your soul.

Why I Created the 3 Brains Intelligence™ Model
For years, I saw clients trying to change through logic alone — and getting stuck.
Others followed their heart or gut, but still couldn’t make lasting progress.
It hit me: real transformation needs all three decision-makers — Head, Heart, and Gut — working together.
That’s what 3 Brains Intelligence™ makes possible.
My purpose with this model is simple:
To help people stop self-sabotaging, start living in alignment, and unlock the clarity and confidence they already have inside them.
What makes it different?
-
Rooted in neuroscience, not just theory
-
Accredited by ICF and EMCC with CCEUs & PVs
-
Used by over 13,000 professionals across 33 countries
