Your healing work matters

Co-Regulation - Our Innate Superpower

Have you heard of the term co-regulation? 

It's a term used in nervous system science to describe overcoming emotional distress and self-soothing with the support of another. Our energy and presence influence others. It’s the most powerful way we can support grounding and balance in other humans.


In other words, when you care for YOUR nervous system, you can calm, soothe, and support the healing process in others.


This means that the healing work you do for yourself matters to more than just yourself... it touches lives and ripples out to impact the world.

When you care for YOUR nervous system, you can calm, soothe, and support the same in others. Truly, our greatest superpower to thrive in a changing world is a regulated nervous system that can help us find collective balance.

Experience a complete reset for your nervous system & a new level of vitality.

  • If daily stress and burnout are draining and disorienting you, NOURISH is designed to help you find calm and restore balance.

  • If long-term stress is damaging your body and mind, NOURISH offers tools to break the stress cycle and regain your sense of well-being.

    Ayurveda, the integral sister science to yoga, teaches us to live in harmony with Nature, the elements we are made of & the intelligence of life itself.
