Dr. Shaleen Kendrick is a theologian, applied neuroscience expert, and founder of Neuro-Relational Integration™ (NRI)—a science-informed model and consulting company that equips people and organizations to evolve with coherence. NRI maps how the brain’s three neural centers of intelligence—mind (IQ), body (SQ), and relational spirit (SEQ)—work together to shape how we think, feel, relate, and lead. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in personal growth, organizational change, and embodied leadership, Shaleen translates deep research into grounded practices that help individuals and teams meet complexity with clarity, adaptability, and relational presence.
Her academic work brings together applied neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and process philosophy, and has given rise to NRI applications such as Neuro-Relational Leadership, Neuro-Relational Spirituality, and Neuro-Relational Theology. These tools address the growing evolutionary mismatch between our neural design and the demands of modern life—offering real-time, integrative approaches to cultivating human and collective potential. A dynamic speaker, podcaster, and executive culture coach, Shaleen consults internationally across disciplines and sectors, helping changemakers build more coherent ways of being and leading.
She lives in the Arizona desert with her spouse, four children, two dogs, and a grove of saguaro cacti—believing that when we grow in coherence together, we don’t just change. We evolve.
