Why you need this mini course

Anxiety and overwhelm often live in the nervous system, not the mind

Somatic therapy works by meeting the body first, supporting regulation through sensation, awareness and connection rather than analysis or control. This mini-course offers a calm, accessible doorway into that work. If you feel like you’ve tried everything to feel better and nothing has truly landed, this may be a different way in.

A gentle invitation

This is not about pushing through anxiety or mastering regulation

The Gentle Nervous System Rest free mini-course is about listening to your body, building safety slowly, and creating the conditions for ease to emerge. If your mind feels busy day and night, or your body holds tension in your shoulders, jaw or belly even when nothing “bad” is happening, your nervous system may be stuck in protection mode.

This trauma-informed somatic mini-course designed to help you soften anxiety, release chronic tension and return to a felt sense of safety, gently, slowly and without effort. This course does not ask you to think your way calm. It supports your body in remembering how to feel safe again, at a pace that honours your capacity.

This course may be supportive if you live with anxiety, overwhelm, burnout or chronic stress. Feel tense, restless or on edge in your body. Struggle with overthinking, perfectionism or people-pleasing. Long to feel calmer without working harder or fixing yourself. Want a compassionate, body-led approach to nervous system healing. You don’t need experience with somatic work, you don’t need to feel ready, you only need a small willingness to begin.

What Is Somatic Healing?(and why it might be the missing piece on your journey)

After years of trying to heal only from the neck up, I discovered somatic therapy — a gentle way of listening to the body’s wisdom and finding safety within.

When Therapy Becomes a Spiritual Practice

Therapy and spirituality are often seen as separate paths, one tending to our wounds, the other to our awakening. Yet the more deeply we listen to the body, the more we realise they are the same journey. Healing becomes the way awareness learns to live through us; therapy becomes a sacred practice of remembering who we already are.
