I recently got to experience a workshop by Leo. What a successful session! Leo knows how to captivate people like no other in his own authentic and inspiring way. You can hear (also by using his drum), see and feel that. His approach is also interactive, down-to-earth and to-the-point, explaining difficult medical terminology in an understandable way. If you want to learn to sleep well and therefore function better, take a look at his website or attend one of his webinars. I have benefited from it!

Leo van Woerden is a neuroscientist and sleep expert who has dedicated his life to (helping) understand the human brain. He has developed products and techniques for an optimal state of mind, focus, energy and sleep. With which your health and development will be optimized.
Leo comes from a family of six children and is the son of doctors. He was always bursting with energy. In high school, he played drums in a band and could not concentrate well on anything else. One of the first in his generation, he was diagnosed with ADHD, which sparked his interest in human biology. He wanted to learn more about how people function and how to optimize it. When he started studying neuroscience at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, he learned that people are the way they are mainly because of how they have been shaped in their lives. It turns out you can get ADHD symptoms from sleep deprivation. The way you shape yourself is largely up to you and this is where you can take control.
Leo helps you with personal insight and combines this with neuroscience knowledge. So you can take control over your health by controlling your behaviour, nutrition and environment. Leo has in depth knowledge of the brain, sleep, nutrition and plant extracts, minerals and vitamins. He has developed supplements from natural ingredients. Nutrition tailored to the needs of our western brain.
This is why Leo has made it his mission to combine his positive energy along with his neuroscience knowledge and drumming skills in his workshops, lectures and trainings. Through his entertaining way of presenting, you get a particularly effective “neuroscience crash course.” He connects, helps you take control, and gets you driven to make those lasting changes.
See keynotes with Leo van WoerdenLearn to sleep deeply and “faster” and make this the tool for your health, growth and happiness
Sleep is the basis of optimal emotional balance, health and growth. The key ingredients for vitality, safety and enjoyment of life. You may think, “I sleep well, don’t I?” or “It can’t get any better!”. Due to stress and changing working hours, chances are you are (unconsciously) sleep deprived. Studies show that 4 hours of sleep deprivation makes you perform like you are drunk. An employee with sleep deprivation costs a company €34,816 a year! Improving sleep means preventively ensuring health, growth and safety. Sleep helps you balance and makes you make better decisions.
By applying neuroscientific knowledge and his drum skills Leo teaches you how to use sleep as a tool to achieve all your goals. You become truly inspired and driven to actually apply the knowledge and skills you are handed:
You have received groundbreaking information about the power of sleep and rest.
You have discovered practical tools that you can use to immediately improve the quality of your sleep.
You know & understand the sleep process including all the facts and fables surrounding sleep.
You know what you can do to sleep more effectively.
You can use sleep for resilience against stress.
You can use sleep for optimal decision-making around and during incidents.
You will go home with the ultimate sleep checklist with tips and tricks.
Interactive, informative and entertaining. Every question you have about sleep is discussed and answered.
Also available in workshop format.

An experience of drumming the biological and resonating together
Rhythm is the place where body and soul collide [Plato]
Have you ever wanted to understand and play rhythms for increasing energy, deep rest, and lowering stress?
Drums and rhythms are one of the oldest methods of communication. When people strike or stamp something at the same time in synchronization, energy and power are created. Your whole body and that of your fellow humans are full of rhythms. It’s all about resonating together.
Your heart and brain both vibrate and resonate as you go through daily life and there are certain rhythms that express vitality and development.
Did know in your deep sleep your heart and brain rhythms synchronize every day? While this happens your health is boosted.
Would you like to be a part of something bigger than yourself?
Would you feel being able to connect with others on a deeper level?
Playing drums can help you achieve all this and more!

A workshop combining of neuroscience, drumming, yoga and singing
Did you know that sleep is the key to optimal emotional balance, health and growth? If you’re not getting enough quality sleep, it can affect every aspect of your life.
But did you also know that there are meditation and breathing techniques you can use to enter a different state of consciousness and actually reset and revitalize your brain during the day? In this workshop, you’ll not only learn about how this works scientifically, but you’ll also get to experience it for yourself. You’ll leave this workshop feeling rested, rejuvenated, and with a better understanding of how to get the most out of your sleep. You’ll also leave with the knowledge and skills to reset your brain whenever you want!

Leo is a true sleep expert and this was evident during a workshop Leo recently gave at Unilever on the importance of good sleep. I think sleep is 1 of the most underrated parts of lifestyle. His story had good content and Leo works evidence-based without making it complicated. He also delivers the content in a very creative way. Definitely worth inviting Leo to your company.

Leo helps you strengthen that foundation. A recommendation for anyone who wants to make a difference from a strong foundation.
