Nurturing Natural Resilience

These sessions focus on restoring the nervous system to a state of healthy self-regulation and are ideal for anyone suffering from chronic stress or tension, anxiety, exhaustion, burnout, chronic illness, or trauma.

The sessions combine elements of Somatic Experiencing, breath therapy, restorative yoga, meditation, and guided somatic movement.

The common thread to all of these is that we explore the sensations and experiences in the body as a way to access what is happening in the nervous system.

I will also educate you about how the brain and body respond to stress/trauma, and we will explore together to learn what your system is doing and whether you have any maladaptive fight/flight/freeze patterns. We will introduce techniques for down-regulation, recognising the experience of safety, having healthy boundaries, and rewiring unnecessary fight/flight/freeze responses that may be showing up in the following ways:

• anxiety
• irritation
• agitation
• hypervigilance
• insomnia
• panic attacks
• breathing dysfunction
• chronic stress/tension
• poor health (including chronic illness)
• poor memory/focus/cognitive skills
• exhaustion
• burnout
• depression
• lethargy

I bring to these sessions years of detailed study of the workings of the nervous system, experience in teaching and guiding many others and my own embodied experience.

I will guide and support you in your own process, with a view to building in you the skills and capacity to do this work yourself.

When the nervous system is functioning optimally, we can navigate our lives with more ease, and be the truest expression of our unique and thriving self.
