Chronic stress and illness can occur after multiple stressors and traumas. 

This is not your fault. 

What happens next? 
The brain and nervous system work too hard and default survival mode to protect you. The nervous system becomes overwhelmed and the Vagus nerve doesn't work like it should to bring the body back to rest and repair mode.

The result? 
Physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Feeling stuck in life, unsafe in your body and the world, and an overall loss of resilience. We just can't bounce back like we used to and feel lost.

There Is No One Size Fits All To Healing

Each person is unique with different life experiences, symptoms, and traumas. While you and your story are one of a kind, the brain and nervous system may be the root cause and solution for many suffering. You may be bedbound or on the edge of a breakthrough in your life. Wherever you are starting from, you don't have to stay there. ​
