The Path to Recovery

01 · Recognize

By learning the principles of the Polyvagal Theory, you will understand the profound role of your nervous system and how your body responds, moment by moment, depending on whether it perceives safety or threat.

02 · Reconnect

Restoring interoception is the foundation of self-regulation and recovery. Therefore, together, we slowly build the capacity to reconnect to your body and return to safety.

03 · Reframe

In befriending your mind|body experiences and maintaining an alliance with your nervous system, you will reclaim your agency to become the creator of your wellness.

04 · Regulate

Integrating both self-regulating top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (somatic) practices, and co-regulation (relational), will equip you to skillfully and resourcefully shift your nervous system from a state of protection to one of connection and regulation.

05 · Recover

With consistency of embodied safety and regulation, and greater nervous system resiliency, your mind|body systems can finally initiate the growth, repair, and restoration necessary for optimal wellness.

Working With the Nervous System

Working with the nervous system requires curiosity, connection, and consistency to build capacity.

  1. 3-Month Coaching Process

    Six biweekly, customized sessions that incorporate both a top-down (brain-based) and bottom-up (somatic) approach.

  2. Continued Coaching

    After three months, we will evaluate your progress and determine how you may best proceed.

  3. Optimal Recovery and Resilience

    Most people work with me for 6–9 months, while many continue for a year or longer, depending on their individual needs.

My “why”

It took me years into my healing process to learn that the body cannot prioritize recovery when it is in survival mode.

My body had been slowly and subtly asking me for safety until it eventually forced me to acknowledge everything it had been carrying for me.

My body revealed everything my mind concealed.

It hadn’t turned against me; it was asking me to return to it.

It’s my passion to teach everyone the language of their nervous system and body so they, too, can reclaim a sense of agency over their health & life.

“I used to think there was something majorly wrong with me.”
“Learning about how my nervous system is trying to protect me, and it’s trying to work for my better good, even if it doesn’t feel that way, has given me such a relief.”
Vivian M.
“That was a massive breakthrough for me”
“One of the things she did early on… was to recognize and point out that I was activated when I had no idea it was happening… I began to be able to do the same in real life.”
Scotti F.
“One of the calmest weeks I’ve had in five years”
“Her work goes far deeper than talk-based therapy can, as we know, the nervous system cannot simply be regulated by language.”
Pep V.

Frequently asked questions

What is your experience?

Since 2016, I’ve been on my holistic healing journey. I’ve spent over fifty thousand dollars on my health and tried all the autoimmune protocols, restrictive diets, treatments, modalities, and everything in between to heal. Nothing has helped me heal more than bringing my nervous system out of survival mode. I received my coaching certification in 2019 and have worked as a coach since then.

With my prior college education in psychology and therapy (I am not licensed), personal experience, knowledge, and wisdom gained over a decade from my own journey and working with clients, I feel I have profound, valuable, and unique insight into healing chronic symptoms and illness. My human-centered approach and customized process to nervous system regulation add more depth and authenticity than most protocols and programs offered.

What can I expect from each session?

Working with the nervous system requires curiosity, slowness, and consistency to build capacity. Therefore, our sessions will resemble a therapeutic & exploratory approach to authentically and sustainably create a customized path to wellness.

You can expect to leave each session with subtle, gentle resources that can significantly shift your nervous system from a state of protection to one of connection.

Over the course of these sessions, we will gradually introduce more active resources as you build capacity to complete and release what your body has been carrying, and to establish greater resilience.

Through my transformative and comprehensive process, you will establish an allied relationship with your nervous system, develop profound insight into your somatic experiences (sensations & symptoms), rebuild trust in both, reclaim agency over your health and life, and reconnect with your true self in safety.
