Nervous System Foundations:

The Language of the Body

Your body’s user manual – finally decoded.

Ever wonder why you freeze up, overreact, or feel disconnected for no reason?

Your nervous system is running the show, sending signals every moment—some whispers, some shouts. Most of us were never taught how to read these cues, let alone work with them.

Nervous System Foundations is your roadmap to understanding what’s happening beneath the surface. This self-paced online course blends science and somatics to help you recognize the 5 nervous system states, and have you start building a relationship with your Nervous System.

What You’ll Learn

The 5 Nervous System Presentations: Armored, Overstimulated, Inflamed, Disconnected, and Exhausted—and how they show up in real time.

Body Awareness Tools: Learn how to sense, name, and shift your state with curiosity instead of force.

Somatic Practices: Techniques to support regulation, safety, and connection.

Practical Insights for Everyday Life: Understand how the patterning of the Nervous System, Anxiety, Depressive or Global Activation, affect your relationships, energy, and body.

Tracey Windmill

With 30 years as a bodyworker and educator, Tracey brings a unique blend of multi-dimensional bodywork, somatic awareness, and nervous system literacy to this course. Her teaching style is practical, compassionate, and rooted in real-world experience.

I created this course to bridge the gap between bodywork and nervous system literacy — because understanding how the body communicates, changes everything about how we touch, listen, and support healing.

Learning the nervous system's language transformed my practice — it helped me stop guessing and start attuning, leading to deeper client trust, more lasting results, and sessions that work with the body instead of against it.

This isn’t just theory — it’s the foundation I wish I had years ago. Whether you're a massage therapist, somatic practitioner, or space-holder, this course will help you meet clients where they are, with confidence and care.

Tracey, I grabbed your nervous system foundations- the language of the body teaching this morning and I just finished the first video. I had to message you right now to say- Finally! Where has this been all my life? I have been searching for something like this and have often wondered “ what is wrong with me?”. I am so excited to finish this teaching not only for myself but to help my people. Thank you for creating this. I am so thankful for this resource. Hope you’re well and I’m even more excited for our class in March!

This course was sooooo interesting !!! I've binged it ...

It fits perfectly with my desire to approch Touch in Massage Therapy, as I am currently undergoing a four-year training program to become a somatic therapist.

But until I get certificated, I'm glad to offer my clients a fair touch and quality presence !

+ It also makes me question what my patterns are in some situations, and I
can now use some key tools to help myself and my family ...

I feel very grateful so thank you so much !
