Brain Balance | Achievement Center

Lauren Joyce

Program Director

Hi! My name is Lauren Joyce. I am originally from central Vermont. But, I spent many years living in New Hampshire and the last several years residing in Boston. My husband and I moved to Raleigh in 2024 and are absolutely in love with North Carolina. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies, with a concentration in child advocacy and family policy. I also have a master's degree in Education from Merrimack College. In my experiences, I have worked with children and families from all walks of life. From infancy through middle school, I have been a teacher, as well as an advocate for parents and children. I pride myself on the relationships I build with the families I work with. I am passionate about helping children be the best versions of themselves. Including the importance of brain development in the early years of life. I love building connections with each of the students who enter our center and watching their growth. There is nothing, as an educator and coach, quite like watching a child have their "aha!" moment and overcome a challenge. I am very much looking forward to supporting your family through this experience.

Megan Anderson

Center Director Coach

Meet Megan Anderson. She is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Clarion University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor's degree in Human Services and Rehabilitative Sciences with a concentration in Developmental Disabilities. Megan is deeply passionate about inclusion, empowering others, and building meaningful connections, both within the brain and throughout the community. Her career began by working with young children with special needs, providing therapeutic support for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Conduct Disorder. After relocating to North Carolina, Megan moved into the Early Childhood Education field, where she focused on helping young children build early learning skills that lay the foundation for future success. Her experience in coordinating curriculum, monitoring child development, and connecting families to local resources led her to Brain Balance. Megan wants families to know that her door is always open to chat, share a triumph, or talk through a challenge. Megan is here to support not only our clients and staff, but our families as well. We believe it takes a village!
