A monthly experiential hour to sharpen your nervous system skills from the inside out - and regulate while you do it.

For therapists, counsellors and anyone in a helping role, whether you're in your first placement or years into practice.

Each hour is guided practice with simple somatic tools: breath, attention, movement, orientation, rest as well as some visualisation. You will feel what they do in your own body. That's what makes them usable with clients.

Over time, you'll get better at:

- settling yourself before a session

- staying grounded when a client is activated

- coming down afterwards, so the session doesn't stay in your body

- noticing the small signs of activation, shutdown and settling - in yourself first, then in the people you work with

- introducing somatic skills to your clients

You'll also leave more rested than you arrived. Participants say this again and again. Helping professionals spend their days tracking other nervous systems and put their own last. This hour is for yours, a steady practice you keep up, so it's there before you're running on empty.

You'll take away practices to use on yourself between sessions, and a clearer sense of when and how to bring them carefully into the client work.

No prior training needed although some basic understanding of the nervous system is beneficial.
