Healing Your Nervous System

If you are looking for a quick 'fix' or expect your life to radically change after completing this course (or any other course, book, etc.), then I don't want to waste your time or money! Integrity is one of my highest values.

I created this course after discovering the significance of somatic work and of understanding how the body, brain and nervous system actually work when trying to heal from past traumas and wounds... or even simply cope with modern day stress and overwhelm! I found this information life changing (both personally and professionally), as it really is at the foundation of how trauma happens; thus true healing cannot happen without it! 

Whilst I strongly believe that we need to do this work with others (at least one other person who can create safety, reflect our shadows to us, hold space and whom we can co-regulate with - as we are relational beings!), I also understand that this is not always possible. Some people cannot afford coaching/therapy, or simply do not feel ready for it... which I completely understand! However, as I passionately believe that this information is so vital and should be given to everyone from a young age, I feel it is unfair for anyone to miss out on it for those reasons. I therefore wanted to create an easily accessible and affordable option for everyone to have access to the knowledge, and to be able to give themselves a head start on their healing journey (without getting caught in the mindset/spiritual bypassing trap!

​

When we focus on 'fixing' or changing our experience, we end up bypassing the fear and lack of safety that our nervous system is feeling. The goal of this work is to become connected with ourselves and our bodies, so that we can become more aware of what we are feeling, why we are feeling it, and learn to meet our nervous system (and inner child) where we are at. We cannot merely focus on the tools and modalities (breath work, cold showers, affirmations, etc.) to 'regulate' our nervous system, or try to convince ourselves that we are safe and we shouldn't listen to what our mind/ego is telling us (because yes, our mind is very good at creating stories that are not always true!). These tools may appear to work on the surface (and don't get me wrong, there are definitely moments where they can be very helpful - and I use them myself and with my clients)... however, they alone do not create sustainable, long lasting changes/regulation! As we merely learn to disassociate from what our body and nervous system know to be true (even if it is not true!)... and thus bypass the danger cues that our nervous system is trying to communicate to us! We can only truly FEEL safe (and thus regulated), when we learn to actually understand, listen to, validate, show up for and comfort ourselves in those moments of dysregulation... because guess what, they will always happen, that is part of being human!
