Welcome to Nervous System Foundations—a self-paced online course where we decode the signals, sensations, and subtle cues your nervous system has been whispering (or shouting) all along.

This course is your introduction to nervous system literacy—a practical and accessible way to understand how your body communicates stress, safety, and everything in between. You’ll learn to work with your body’s natural responses instead of fighting against them, creating more resilience, regulation, and trust from the inside out.

System Presentations

    and safety

    its own pace

  • Freeze: Numbness and stillness—met with warmth and non-invasive presence.

  • Fawn: Compliance and hyper-attunement—met with trust-building and pacing.
