WOUND UP. Stressed out. Overwhelmed. Anxious. powerless.
All too common words used to describe how we feel on a daily basis… It’s true…life is stressful.
But inside our bodies there is an innate intelligence and a natural recovery response that unwinds tension, restores balance and reboots our resilience.
Whether you are negotiating everyday life stress or traumatic stress, Nervous System RESET is an educational and somatic-based wellness model that teaches you how to work with your body to better manage and mitigate the effects of stress in your body and in your life.

The key to better health and quality of life lies in the nervous system
Our nervous system is the deepest core of our being. It dictates how we feel in our bodies, the clarity of our thoughts, the quality of our relationships. When it is in balance and functioning optimally, we flow with the ups and downs of life. We are resilient.
But when the nervous system is taxed, everything can feel off. And that is what happens when we are managing the ongoing, chronic stress of life. Whether it is the grind of everyday life punctuated by financial challenges, relationship dynamics, parenting duties, or the burden of negotiating macro and micro experiences of systemic oppression/trauma…all of the balls that we juggle can make life feel overwhelming at times. And stress patterns build up in our bodies.
Most of us do not realize that our nervous system is dialoguing with us every minute of every day, trying to alert us to its level of activation. We can learn how to speak directly with our nervous systems and more importantly, how to change the dialogue from one of distress and overwhelm to one of greater flexibility, balance and flow.
Nervous System RESET teaches you how to be in empowered dialogue with your nervous system and to cultivate a felt sense of safety in your body. It starts with the framework that we can partner directly with our bodies and is amplified by learning a variety of customized, body-based practices that help us navigate through activation in a more internally-resourced way. At the heart of this model is the nervous system recovery reflex, a gentle, vibratory, muscular discharge that allows accumulated stress patterns to release from the body and which is taught as a regulation tool to help your nervous system reset from chronic stress and/or past trauma.
