Nervous System RESET
Our culture glorifies stress, but we can learn to feel peace in our entire being.
Whether you are navigating everyday life stress or traumatic stress, learn how to deepen your relationship with your body, and gently nudge it in the direction of relaxed, internal safety.
Do you often feel:
- overwhelmed, worried, anxious, or distracted?
- the need to be busy, producing, or completing tasks?
- life’s everyday annoyances feel like bigger stressors?
- unresolved/recurring discomfort or pain in your body?
- disconnected from your body, or that you live “in your head”?
- restless or both wired and exhausted, even after a full-night’s sleep?
- powerless to change any of the above?
You are not alone.
When we feel any of these, our body is in a state of stress physiology. Our modern culture calls on us to function over what we truly have the capacity for on a near daily basis. This isn’t to say we don’t experience happiness and joy, but chronic stress compromises all our bodies’ systems and saps our sense of overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, this is "normal" in our culture.

This isn’t to say we don’t experience happiness and joy, but chronic stress compromises all our bodies’ systems and saps our sense of overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, this is "normal" in our culture.
We can change this "normalized" stressed-out human experience to a more resilient and flexible way of being in our lives.
Nervous System RESET teaches you the language of your body so you can understand the sensations of feeling both stress and calm in your nervous system. In tracking this internal felt sense, we then use easy and gentle, evidence-informed somatic (body) practices to return to a better sense of ease in the body and feel present in the here and now.
Over time, this helps us unwind deeper patterns of held stress in the body, and cultivate resilience to rebound from life stressors.
Clients often report feeling:
- open, spacious, & freer in their body
- present, balanced, & at ease
- a quieter mind & a clearer outlook on life
- contented, joyful, & playful
- refreshed & able to rest
- confident & empowered
Feel Empowered in Your Own Healing
The beautiful thing about our nervous system is that it has what's called neuroplasticity, which means we have the ability to change: we can re-pattern our responses to life's challenges by using intentional awareness in being fully present in our body and in our life. All our bodies often want is acknowledgment, and when we're able to tap into knowing what our body is telling us, we commit ourselves in taking steps to feeling how we wish to feel.
We often give our power to practitioners in the hope that they can fix us. While in certain circumstances this is absolutely necessary, the Nervous System RESET process is about reclaiming our power and committing to the responsibility of knowing our own body. We can help to heal ourselves.
Imagine feeling strong and steady in your embodied self-awareness. You feel sovereign in your own being, and less likely to be swept out to sea by the minutiae and conflicts of life. Envision how being guided by the instinctual wisdom of your body will cause a ripple effect to those around you. You are open and spacious in your body, and you have a quieter mind and clearer outlook on life. Your self-empowerment inevitably models to others another way of being, and when we tend to ourselves, we teach others they can do the same.
Allow me to guide you on a journey to self-empowerment and self-compassion.

Autumn's Story
In 2018 I embarked on a journey to understand the deleterious effects of chronic traumatic stress and work toward heal my own nervous system. Growing my understanding of the nervous system and the messages of my own body has taught me how to manage life stressors in a thoughtful and purposeful manner and helped me appreciate my body’s innate wisdom. It’s further informed me why so many of us have deeply held patterns of tension in our bodies. My own path led me to completing a certification in Nervous System RESET Practitioner Training in 2023 in order to help reacquaint clients with their own bodies and move through life’s stressors with better ease.
Those of us who occupy human bodies are no stranger to how impactful stress can be, from the most minor of symptoms to the feeling that we want to crawl out of our skin. I have personally been able to heal from serious bouts of eczema and significant fatigue, both triggered by stress. I have a better felt sense of my stress levels and know when to take breaks and articulate my needs. Through nervous system work, I am more self-compassionate which has yielded a better understanding of and compassion toward others. Because becoming acquainted with our body allows us to tap into the wisdom of our gut instinct, I am better able to pay attention to my interpersonal boundaries and advocate for myself in relationships. A recovering perfectionist, I've also gone from always needing a project to complete or feeling like I have no off-switch, to being able to rest and relax, and feel satisfied doing so.

Our nervous system subconsciously shapes
and colors our perceptions and behavior. Partnering with our body at the nervous
system level helps gently shift us from
swimming in stress to feeling life is limitless.

Regulation
Regulation is the ability of our nervous system to be flexible enough to adapt to different situations. This means we're able to move in and out of stress: feeling calm and connected to others, to feeling high activation and overwhelm according to the circumstances we encounter, then back to a more relaxed state again.
Resourcing
Resourcing is our ability to support ourselves. We use internal skills (self-care and somatic practices) as well as external tools (support systems) so we are better able to regulate ourselves through our life experiences. Resourcing allows us to feel internal safety, increased comfort, and more at peace.
Resilience
Resilience is the ability to regulate and resource ourselves as we meet life's challenges. We adapt to and recover from these challenges with the least amount of negative consequence to our well-being. In short, we bounce back from life events, and respond with consistency and with better ease.
