Co-Founder, Neuroconstruction Coach & Facilitator
Charlene helps individuals, families, children and corporate teams understand how their brains, experiences and everyday patterns influence wellbeing, behaviour and personal growth.
Charlene Waiganjo is a co-founder of Albain Institute and a neuroconstruction coach with a particular passion for applied neuroscience. Before moving into coaching and wellbeing, she spent more than ten years in the corporate sector, working across various African markets.
Her professional direction changed following the 2013 Westgate terrorist attack in Nairobi, Kenya, which she survived. Charlene began working with Paul Boyle as part of her own healing journey, and together they established Albain Institute in 2017.
