NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION
Integrating ancient practices such as yoga & meditation with modern science, such as Polyvagal Theory, we utilise these practices ourselves and with clients. These are physiological tools that support you to be in an optimal range of thriving. Some call this the ‘window of tolerance’, where you feel regulated & safe enough to journey with whatever life throws your way.
