Stephanie High, M.A.

Stephanie High is a neuropsychology nerd, founder, and human-centered innovator who has spent 20+ years at the intersection of people, technology, and organizational systems. She started her career at Sony in San Diego, grew into global roles that took her to Tokyo, then crossed the hall to ASICS headquarters where she led global category marketing for Fitness & Training. After nearly a decade in Asia, she traded corporate life for something wilder — over a year freelancing through Mexico and Belize before eventually planting roots in Spokane.

Her work is grounded in a deceptively simple idea: that resilience isn't something you're born with. It's a system you build. As someone who has navigated burnout firsthand — and rebuilt with intention on the other side — Stephanie brings the kind of credibility to this topic that can't be faked. She blends neuroscience, performance psychology, and trauma-informed practice into sessions that are rigorous, practical, and honest.

She is the founder of Kaizen Catalyst (trauma-informed performance psychology), co-founder of KaizenCX (human-centered technology consulting), and founder of HIKE with Her — a growing community hub for women building businesses in the Inland Northwest. She is currently a PhD candidate and has lived and worked in Japan, Mexico, Belize, and USA.
