About us
Where we began
Euphrenity was born from a fascination with the human mind, human behaviour and our extraordinary capacity to change.
Founded in 2016 by Lisa Upton, the story behind Euphrenity is deeply personal.
Following awake brain surgery, Lisa’s understanding of the human brain took on an entirely new meaning. During her subsequent work and learning within a neuroscience laboratory, the idea for Euphrenity began to take shape.
The name combines two powerful human experiences: euphoria and serenity.
This remarkable journey also inspired AWAKE, Lisa’s signature motivational keynote, which has been delivered to audiences across corporate organisations and schools.
Through the story of her awake brain surgery, Lisa explores resilience, overcoming adversity and our ability to adapt, grow and embrace change. AWAKE shares not only where Euphrenity began, but a powerful message about what we are capable of, even when life takes an unexpected turn.
Understanding People. Inspiring Change.
We haven’t just studied the corporate world. We’ve lived it.
At Euphrenity, we believe that what makes us different isn’t simply what we know, but what we’ve experienced.
Our team brings together experienced consultants, coaches, trainers and therapists who have built careers within corporate organisations. We’ve led teams, shaped people strategies, navigated organisational change, managed competing priorities and experienced first-hand the pressures that come with working life.
We’ve sat in the meetings, faced the deadlines, made difficult decisions and supported people through challenges. We understand the realities of organisational life because we’ve been there ourselves.
It’s this experience that shapes how we work. We know that meaningful change takes more than good intentions, a wellbeing initiative or a one-off workshop. It requires understanding the organisation, its culture, its people and the challenges they face.
By combining behavioural science, psychoeducation and specialist expertise with genuine corporate experience, we provide strategic consultancy, practical solutions and meaningful development opportunities that work in the real world.
Whether we’re helping an organisation shape its wellbeing strategy, strengthen leadership capability, improve employee experience or support individuals through coaching and personal development, our approach is always grounded in understanding people.
We don’t just understand the science of being human. We understand what it’s like to be human at work.
Beyond the Workplace
Our belief in human potential extends far beyond the corporate world.
At Euphrenity, we’re passionate about making a positive difference within communities, particularly for people navigating challenging circumstances or significant life transitions.
Our work includes rehabilitation and personal development within the criminal justice system, where we bring together emotional regulation, psychoeducation, mindfulness and practical approaches to behaviour change.
We believe everyone deserves opportunities to develop greater self-awareness, build resilience and explore new possibilities, regardless of their circumstances.
Our founder, Lisa Upton, is also actively involved in Brain Buddy, a separate charity supporting people undergoing epilepsy surgery, reflecting a wider commitment to compassion, connection and meaningful support.
