Meet Our Founders

Corey Moon

Corey Moon

Founder and Executive Director

Corey Moon believes that every child enters the world already whole, already wise, and carrying an innate genius that longs to be explored, expressed, and shared. InGenius Academy is the living expression of that belief—a place where children are not molded into who they should become, but supported in discovering who they already are.

As a Neurosomatic Therapist, embodiment practitioner, educator, and author, Corey has spent years walking alongside people as they heal, grow, and come home to themselves. Her work has always lived at the intersection of the body, the nervous system, the heart, and human potential. Along the way, she recognized a deeper calling. Rather than spend a lifetime helping adults recover the parts of themselves that had been forgotten or conditioned away, she felt inspired to help cultivate environments where children could remain deeply connected to those parts from the very beginning.

That calling became InGenius Academy.

Corey is the visionary behind an educational philosophy rooted in the cultivation of human flourishing. She believes education is about far more than academics; it is about developing the capacities that allow a person to live with curiosity, resilience, creativity, emotional wisdom, embodied presence, and meaningful contribution. Through nature immersion, project-based exploration, nervous system regulation, entrepreneurship, community, and real-world learning, children are invited to develop not only knowledge, but the inner capacities that support a flourishing life.

Her professional background reflects this integrated approach. Corey is a Higher Self Embodiment and Wellness Coach, a Neurosomatic Therapist, an embodiment facilitator, and a facilitator of Sovereign Energy Healing. She is also the author of Just Beneath the Surface: The Subconscious Roadmap to Higher Self Embodiment, a book that explores the quiet inner transformation that begins beneath the surface—in the body, the subconscious, and the patterns that shape the way we experience life.

At the heart of Corey's work is a simple yet profound belief: when we cultivate the right conditions, human flourishing emerges naturally. Just as a seed does not need to be taught how to become a tree, children do not need to be fixed to become extraordinary. They need environments where they feel safe, deeply seen, genuinely known, challenged with love, connected to nature, and trusted to explore the unique gifts they came here to share.

When you meet Corey, you won't simply meet an educator. You'll meet someone who believes wholeheartedly in the brilliance within every child and in the possibility of creating a new model of education—one that nurtures not only capable students, but wholehearted humans who are prepared to create a more compassionate, creative, and flourishing world.

Elasa Tiernan

Board Member, Facilitator & Founding Visionary

Elasa Tiernan is a transformational educator, facilitator, wellness center founder, and lifelong advocate for empowering children to discover and embody their innate gifts, talents, and purpose.

As a Board Member and Facilitator at InGenius Academy, Elasa is passionate about helping create a New Earth educational model that recognizes every child as a unique genius arriving with natural abilities, creativity, solutions, inventions, and contributions ready to be expressed. She believes education should nurture the whole child — mind, body, emotions, spirit, imagination, and purpose — while providing a safe environment for exploration, self-discovery, and authentic growth.

For more than 25 years, Elasa has worked with children, families, schools, community organizations, wellness centers, foster care programs, and educational initiatives. Her background includes craniosacral therapy, emotional wellness support, nervous system regulation, mindfulness practices, yoga, gardening programs, creative arts, community development, and holistic education.

Throughout her career, she has helped develop and facilitate children's programs focused on emotional intelligence, self-awareness, creativity, resilience, communication, and personal empowerment.

Elasa believes that when children are given access to healing arts, nature, gardens, mentorship, creativity, and supportive community, they naturally begin to remember who they are and what they are here to contribute. Her vision is to help create learning environments where children feel safe to explore, empowered to innovate, and inspired to bring their unique gifts into the world.

Now Accepting Applications

Become a Founding Facilitator

What we are building is more than a school. It is an exploration into what education can become when we begin with the understanding that every child arrives with gifts, genius, creativity, wisdom, and purpose already within them.

Learning begins with curiosity — questions are often more powerful than answers.

Nature is one of our greatest teachers.

Emotional intelligence, creativity, and stewardship are just as vital as academic mastery.

Facilitators must first walk the path they are inviting children to walk.
