A Somatic Healing & Vagus Nerve Toning Programme
A 10-week programme that you can complete at your own pace!
REGULATE is a 10-week trauma informed programme teaching you how to understand your trauma and how it affects your nervous system so you can REGULATE to be more present, connected and joyful
Our nervous system is at the heart of our lived experiences and our body literally tells the story
of our life. Our nervous system is always scanning for cues of safety and danger but this is based
on our past experiences and how we have interpreted and perceived them.
As a child, we perceive events, parent and care givers behaviour in a certain way, even if we
know this not to be true as an adult BUT it is often too late as trauma is already wired in to our
nervous system by then. This then becomes our “version of danger”
My parents divorced ….. because I am not loveable
I was abused…….because I am worthless
I was neglected……because I am not important
I was never praised……because I am not good enough
These are just a few examples of how, we as children, perceive behaviour and events.
Cognitively, we know no child is unlovable, worthless, not good enough or not important BUT our nervous system remains stuck feeling this to be true and this then drives adult behaviour.
So often we are living our lives stuck in a trauma response of FREEZE feeling numb, depressed, dissociated yet looking like we are functioning to the outside world.
We don’t feel anything in our body because our system has learnt it is UNSAFE to feel
Or we are stuck in a FIGHT/FLIGHT response.
Suffering with anxiety, feeling rage and anger and on edge all the time but not knowing how to discharge the excess sympathetic energy and excess cortisol production effectively so can end up medicating ourselves with food or alcohol or shouting at our loved ones in the hope that we will feel better but we don’t and then we wonder why, physical pain and illness starts to occur
When we learn the WHY, we can learn the HOW
REGULATE supports you to KNOW and FEEL safe in the present in a step by step way to give you tools for life
With this understanding, you can work with your nervous system and learn how to regulate and reset it for a healthier life with balanced emotions and reactions. Our nervous system is always working FOR us to try and keep us safe but often it is stuck in a nervous system state based on our past experiences REGULATE helps you learn how to rewire your nervous system through somatic healing, vagus nerve toning and releasing tension.

It can cause you to feel anxious and panic. Our childhoods play an important role in shaping the safety and connection of our nervous system and the attachment styles we are taught from our parents and caregivers. This can leave you feeling like you can never relax, your mind is always racing and the world can feel a scary and dangerous place…
Your nervous system can be STRESSED and can go into SHUTDOWN.
It scans for danger and shifts to a nervous system state to minimise pain and keep you safe
Stress, trauma and abuse can wreak havoc on your nervous system.
You may not want to get out of bed
You may want to isolate yourself
You may want to not speak to anyone
Because you may have learnt people can equal danger to you
They judge you
They criticise you
They abuse you
They are unkind to you
REGULATE teaches you how to have nervous system flexibility so it becomes stretched, NOT stressed so you can feel more engaged and present in your life
You will learn to recognise when you are in the main trauma responses
Fight Flight Freeze
And how to shift states with tools and techniques
It helps you remain present in situations as opposed to going back and reliving in your body past experiences

There’s nothing wrong with you
You can heal trauma
The trauma you’ve been through has affected your nervous system.
In scientific terms, you have a dysregulated nervous system. In simpler language, your nervous system has a ‘temporarily out-of-service’ sign on it. It is stuck in a nervous system state even though you are SAFE
REGULATE shows you the steps you can take to tone your vagus nerve and shift your nervous system states’ back to feeling more present and social. It helps you get further in your self-healing journey and make changes that help you live a more connected life
This is Exactly What I Want!
Here are some signs to help you understand
Wondering how you can tell if your nervous system has been affected?
You’re always low on energy. Anxiety, panic, even depression makes you feel tired all the time.
You’re plagued by low self-esteem and poor confidence that affects your life decisions and relationships
Your relationships are usually toxic – you can’t set or maintain clear boundaries and feel unfulfilled
You have difficulty concentrating, your mind is often wandering. You have a million things you’re thinking of.
You have anger issues! Losing your cool often is a problem, but not being able to express your anger is also equally a problem.
You almost never feel clear-headed or rested – irrespective of how many hours you’ve slept. Or, you may have difficulty falling asleep.
You have chronic health issues and pain. PMS, terrible headaches, autoimmune conditions and much more that keep you from living life.
You feel numb and disconnected to people and events around you, like you’re there – but really not…
You’re most often exhausted and burned out.
You find yourself resistant to change, putting off decisions, and unnecessarily fearful and worried.

What You Get When You Join
1
Understanding trauma, reciprocity, rupture and repair
The first step to healing is understanding. Trauma leaves deep scars, most of them unseen and therefore untreated and unhealed. When you start with understanding how you’ve been affected by abuse and trauma, you can truly begin your self-healing journey!
2
Nervous system states, skilful self-regulation and co-regulation states, building nervous system capacity
Depending on where you are in your journey, and how deep your trauma goes, you will need different degrees of help and healing. This Action Lab helps you understand the nervous system hierarchy and where you are and where you want to go.
3
Attachment styles and corrective attachment experiences, the gut-brain axis
Attachments are inevitable when you have relationships. But these can help you AND harm you. Abuse and trauma affect you in ways that can create unhealthy attachment styles, holding you back and drawing you into interactions that don’t serve you. This Action Lab takes you through the 4 different attachment styles and how that may have affected you and the mechanics of the gut-brain axis and how understanding this link can help you regulate your reactions to life.
4
Grounding and containment, trauma vortex and counter vortex, under and over coupling SIBAM
This Action Lab is particularly beneficial to help you manage your trauma and mental and emotional states. Containing doesn’t mean suppressing or ignoring your trauma. You will understand the skills and tools you need to cope in a healthy way and understand why one drop can send you into a spin. The SIBAM (Sensation, Imagery, Behaviour, Affect and Meaning) Framework discussed in this module will further help your healing.
5
The vagus nerve is your body’s superpower! A healthy vagus nerve has immense benefits for your physical and mental health. In this module, you will learn how to help it help you. Toning your vagus nerve is life changing
6
Tracking the body, releasing tension and pain
Paying attention to your body and understanding the signs help you stay in tune with what triggers your stress responses. When you can see the signs, you can deal with them. This means you can stay regulated in your front part of the brain, the neocortex, as opposed to the limbic system, the emotional brain
7
Titration and pendulation, parts integration through an IFS
(Internal Family System Lens)
Here’s when you begin to build resilience and build tolerance. Learn how to deal with overwhelm and how to understand the signs stemming from your traumatic experiences. We all have “parts” within us and in this lesson, you will learn what “parts” of you are holding you back and why they show up. You will gain a big understanding of your own inner system
Understanding the vagus nerve
8
Shifting from Freeze, breath work v breathing techniques
The simple and unconscious act of breathing has a massive impact on your mind and body. It can cause your trauma to become diminished, calm your senses and bring you peace of mind and equally it can be triggering. Learn the difference between breath work to symptom manage and breathing techniques to shift nervous system states.
9
Healthy aggression, discharging sympathetic energy
(Internal Family System Lens)
Aggression doesn’t deserve the bad rep it has earned. Healthy aggression is needed not only for your survival but also to help you thrive! Discharging sympathetic energy is key to good health and regulation and we often think anger and rage must be suppressed but it is a normal emotion and needs to be released but in a healthy way.
10
Your best self, self-parenting, social engagement system
You’re ready to face life with the best version of yourself. Give yourself the care and attention you know you deserve. Be kind to yourself! Remember – Healing is not a destination!
You are constantly a work-in-progress.

You are constantly a work-in-progress.
Are You Looking for the Calmer, More Regulated Version of Yourself?
Yes! It is possible!
This programme can help you heal from your trauma – both inside and out!
While the effects of trauma can be seen on the outside through the constant stress, anxiety, and self-guessing that goes on in your life, it can only be healed when you treat it from the inside with both a top down and bottom up approach. Nervous system regulation needs to come from the body and you can’t think your way out of it!
You need to get out of your head and into your body
This means understanding how the trauma you’ve been through has affected your autonomic nervous system. Then you can begin to take the steps that will help you heal and restore your nervous system into your social engagement system. You will also learn what to do to make this a lifelong daily practice!
I was once where you are. I was depressed. I suffered from anxiety. I had panic attacks. I self harmed and was suffering with PTSD. There were days when I didn’t want to go on. I was in debt. I had hit rock bottom!
So, yes! I know exactly how you feel!
I felt shame, weakness and that I should just cope and get on with it!!!
But you can’t think your way out of healing trauma
And now, I’m using my personal experience and training in many cognitive and somatic techniques to help as many as possible!
This trauma informed, poly-vagal informed, IFS-informed programme has all the benefits I can offer you through my qualifications which include:
I know it’s possible because I’ve done it too!
I’ve helped thousands of people understand and start to heal trauma. I’ve helped them transition from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth. I’ve helped them tell their stories and re-discover their potential and themselves to live a more fulfilling life of awareness, love and connection.
Now, it’s your turn!
Yes! I Want to REGULATE my Life!
