You’ve tried everything. But your life still revolves around your symptoms.
You’ve taken the supplements, changed your diet, seen the specialists.
Tried functional medicine, therapies and treatments.
You’ve spent thousands searching for the thing that will finally help you feel better.
Maybe something works for a while. You start to believe you’re turning a corner.
Then the symptoms return.
Can I take a shower and still have enough energy for the rest of the day?
Can I eat this without paying for it later?
Can I make plans when I have no idea how I’ll feel?
You miss the freedom of not having to think about your body all the time.
Working, traveling, being spontaneous, seeing your friends and saying yes without first calculating the consequences.
You want your life back. And there is a path forward.

Recovery is possible.
Jen is the co-founder of Somia. She was once completely bedbound with ME/CFS, POTS, fibromyalgia and more than 30 debilitating symptoms. She was told she may never function normally again or be able to have children.
Today, she is fully recovered, has two sons, and lives without organizing her life around symptoms or the fear of relapse.
And her recovery is no longer an isolated story.

Want to understand the science first?
Why can one nervous system create so many different symptoms?
Watch this masterclass that has helped more than 10k people learn what can keep the brain and body stuck in chronic symptoms and how nervous system retraining can begin changing the cycle.
Watch the masterclass
Brain retraining was only the beginning.
What finally made full recovery possible for Jen.
Brain retraining helped Jen get out of bed and begin interrupting the illness responses that had kept her stuck.
It changed her life. But it wasn’t the whole answer.
A text, a phone call or an emotional trigger could still bring symptoms rushing back. Brain retraining was helping change the symptom loop, but there were deeper patterns in her nervous system that it wasn’t reaching.
That began to change when Jen started working with Karden and incorporating body-based approaches alongside brain retraining. Together, they combined neuroplasticity and brain retraining with somatic work, emotional processing, parts work and trauma-informed approaches.
That work became the Somia Method.
The Nervous System Recovery Pathway
A clear path from chronic symptoms back to your life.
Recovery isn’t one step. As your nervous system changes, what you need changes too.
The Nervous System Recovery Pathway guides you through distinct stages of recovery, so you can understand where you are, what your system needs now, and what to work on next.
What happens when I join?
Start with one clear next step.

You may already understand the nervous system.
The hard part is knowing what to do, when to do it, and how to apply it to your symptoms.
Maybe you’ve already tried brain retraining, nervous system regulation, somatic work, therapy, vagus nerve exercises or other mind-body approaches.
Some of it may have helped enormously. You may even be significantly better.
But then symptoms flare. Something stressful happens. An old trigger returns. And suddenly you’re wondering:
Do I regulate? Do I rest or build capacity? Is this a setback or part of recovery? Am I doing too much or not enough?
This is where the Somia Method comes in.
Inside the Nervous System Recovery Pathway, you don’t get a library of practices and get left to figure out which one to use.
You’re guided through the Somia Method in sequence, with each level building on the last, so the work evolves as your nervous system does.
You learn to understand what’s happening in your mind, heart and body, choose the right tools for where you are, and adjust as your symptoms, capacity and needs change.
You stop collecting tools and start knowing how to use them.
You don’t have to figure it out alone anymore.
Knowing what to do is one thing. Being able to see clearly when you’re in the middle of a flare, setback or difficult week is another. Those are often the moments when having the right support matters most.
Instead of spiraling into fear, abandoning what’s working or searching for another answer, you have somewhere to bring what’s happening. Our team can help you step back, understand what your system may be responding to and find your next step.
And you’re surrounded by people doing the same work—people who understand the setbacks, celebrate the progress and remind you what’s possible when it’s difficult to see it for yourself.
When you lose the thread, we help you find it again. Until you can make your own nervous system safe again, borrow ours.

Try It Now
Don’t just read about the work. Experience it.
Take two minutes with us.
Recovery isn’t only about understanding your nervous system intellectually. Part of the work is learning how to communicate safety to your brain and body in real time.
Try one of the Nervous System Modifier exercises we teach inside Somia.
You don’t need to feel completely different afterward. Just notice whether anything shifted, your breath, your muscles, your thoughts, the sensations in your body, or simply how present you feel.
Inside the membership, you’ll learn when to use practices like this, when not to, and how to combine them with brain retraining, somatic work, emotional processing and reconditioning as your recovery progresses.
Let’s look at the pathway

Your library grows as you do.
This isn’t about withholding information.
It’s about giving you enough to create change without giving you so much that recovery becomes another overwhelming project to manage.
You have time to learn the work, practice it, ask questions and build confidence before the next layer opens.
And as you progress, everything you’ve already unlocked stays with you for as long as you remain a member.
Less guessing. Less overwhelm. One clear path forward.

What will I actually be doing?
Recovery takes more than one technique.
The Somia Method brings together different ways of working with the brain, body and nervous system, so you’re not relying on one technique to do everything.
As you move through the pathway, you’ll learn how and when to work with:
Nervous system regulation
Work with activation, shutdown and survival responses as they happen.
Brain retraining
Change learned brain-body responses and begin creating new patterns of safety.
Somatic practices
Use body-based tools to build awareness, process emotion and expand your capacity.
Symptom + trigger reconditioning
Gradually change the associations your brain and body have built around symptoms, food, movement, places, emotions and everyday experiences.
Emotional processing
Learn to experience and move through emotion without your system becoming overwhelmed by it.
Capacity building
Gradually expand what your system can handle so you can begin doing more of the things illness has taken away.
Deeper pattern + trauma work
Work with protective strategies, beliefs, subconscious patterns and unresolved experiences that may be keeping your system in protection.
Life integration
Bring the work into your relationships, boundaries, movement, food, parenting, work, identity, goals and the way you want to live.
Hi, we’re Jen + Karden.
Founders + Creators of Somia · Authors of the bestselling The Secret Language of the Body
Jen Mann
Jen brings together lived experience with years of clinical work in nervous system retraining and mind-body recovery with studies in Physiotherapy and Biomedical Sciences.
After becoming completely bedbound with ME/CFS, POTS, fibromyalgia and more than 30 debilitating symptoms, she used neuroplasticity and body-based approaches as part of her own full recovery.
She and Karden went on to develop those approaches into the Somia Method, a practical framework now taught to thousands of people.
Her work centers on neuroplasticity, the nervous system and the relationship between our biology, emotions and symptoms.
Karden Rabin
Karden brings together somatics, trauma-informed work and nervous system science.
After recovering from his own experience with chronic pain, he has spent more than 15 years helping people understand how the nervous system, emotions and lived experiences can influence persistent symptoms.
His work helps people move beyond endlessly chasing symptoms and begin working with the deeper patterns keeping their system in protection.
Together, Jen and Karden created Somia to give people the recovery framework, tools and support they wished had existed when they needed it.
You can keep learning about recovery…
Or you can begin yours.
If you’ve been in our world for a while, you probably already know a lot about the nervous system.
You’ve researched your symptoms. Read the books. Saved the posts. Listened to the podcasts. Tried to piece together what might finally help.
It makes sense to keep looking for answers.
But eventually, information has to become practice. At some point, learning about nervous system recovery has to become practicing nervous system recovery.
You don’t need to understand every step before you begin. You just need to take the first one.
Join us inside. We’ll help you with what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work if my symptoms or diagnosis aren’t listed here?+
The membership is built around nervous-system and mind-body principles rather than one individual diagnosis.
People come to Somia with many different diagnoses and symptom patterns, including persistent or unexplained symptoms that don’t fit neatly into one category.
We cannot guarantee a particular outcome, and the membership does not replace appropriate medical care. But if your symptoms have a nervous-system or mind-body component, the framework may be relevant to your recovery.
Can I do this if I’m bedbound or have very little capacity?+
Yes.
The pathway is designed so the work can be approached gently and progressively from where you are now.
You do not need to exercise, sit at a desk for hours or push yourself beyond your current capacity to begin.
Start where you are.
What if I’ve already tried brain retraining?+
Then the Nervous System Recovery Membership may be especially relevant.
Brain retraining is one part of the Somia Method, but it isn’t the entire approach.
If brain retraining helped but you plateaued, symptoms continued to return around particular triggers, or you understood what you were supposed to do but struggled to create lasting change, the later stages of the pathway expand the work into somatic, emotional, behavioral and deeper nervous-system patterns.
You’re not starting over. You’re building on what you already know.
Why don’t I get access to the entire program immediately?+
Because we don’t want to hand you an enormous library and make you responsible for figuring out which of dozens of practices you should be doing.
The Somia Method is designed to build progressively following a Neurosequential order.
One new module unlocks each week so you have time to understand the work, practice it and begin integrating it before adding the next layer.
The intention isn’t to withhold information. It’s to give you one clear next step instead of 100 possible ones.
How quickly will I get access?+
You’ll receive access to the community immediately after joining and can begin with the first module of Level 1.
From there, one new module unlocks each week.
Weeks 1–5 take you through Stabilize. Weeks 6–10 take you through Recondition. From Week 11 onward, you move into the ongoing Optimize stage.
Do I lose my previous modules when a new one unlocks?+
No. Your library grows as you do.
Everything you’ve previously unlocked remains available to you for as long as your membership remains active.
You can revisit earlier teaching and practices whenever you need them.
What if I need longer than a week to complete a module?+
That’s okay.
A new module becoming available does not mean you have to finish the previous one on a deadline.
The weekly release gives you a clear progression through the pathway, but you can work through the material at a pace your system can integrate.
Recovery isn’t a race.
How much time do I need to spend on the program?+
The pathway is designed to fit into real life rather than become another full-time job.
Your focus is the module you are currently working through and the practices that are relevant to you.
You do not need to consume every piece of content or attend every live offering in order to “do the program correctly.”
The goal is not to do more. The goal is to know what matters now and practice it consistently enough for it to become part of your life.
Do I need to attend all the coaching, Q&As and workshops?+
No. Your Recovery Pathway is the core of the membership.
Coaching, mentor Q&As, Skills Workshops and community are there to support you as questions, symptoms or setbacks arise.
Once you reach Level 3, the Somatic Studio and Expert Masterclasses become available as additional ways to expand the work.
Follow the pathway. Use the support you need. Let the rest be there when you need it.
What if I can’t attend the live sessions?+
You do not need to attend every session live. Replays are available inside the membership, so you can access the teaching and support in a way that works with your schedule, timezone and capacity.
What happens if I have a flare or setback while I’m doing the program?+
That is one of the reasons the membership includes ongoing support.
Recovery isn’t always linear. Symptoms can change, old triggers can reappear and difficult periods can make you question whether you’re doing the right thing.
Instead of having to figure that out by yourself, you can bring what’s happening to coaching, mentor Q&A or the community and get help understanding what your system may need next.
The pathway gives you direction. The membership gives you somewhere to turn when reality gets messy.
What happens after Level 2?+
After Week 10, you move into Level 3: Optimize. Level 3 is intentionally ongoing.
This is where the work expands beyond reducing symptoms and into building the capacity to live fully again—movement, food, relationships, work, parenting, boundaries, identity, goals and the parts of life that matter to you.
You’ll also unlock the Somatic Studio, Expert Masterclasses and ongoing Level 3 teachings and practices.
What’s the difference between the Recovery Pathway, the Somia Method and the Membership?+
Think of it this way:
The Recovery Pathway is where you’re going. Stabilize → Recondition → Optimize.
The Somia Method is how you do the work. It brings together brain retraining, nervous system regulation, somatic practices, emotional processing, reconditioning, capacity building and deeper pattern work.
The Membership is the support around you while you do it. Your training, coaching, mentor Q&As, workshops, community, Somatic Studio and Expert Masterclasses all live here.
One pathway. One method. Ongoing support.
Can I buy the Somia Method without joining the membership?+
The Somia Method is taught through the Nervous System Recovery Membership.
Over the past five years, we’ve seen that people often need more than information alone. They need help applying the work to their own symptoms, navigating setbacks and understanding what to focus on as their nervous system changes.
The membership was built to give you the method and the guidance and support to actually use it.
What’s the difference between the monthly and six-month options?+
The program itself is the same.
With the monthly option, you pay $89 each month and can cancel anytime.
With the six-month option, you make one $459 payment for six months of access,
That saves you $75 compared with paying monthly for six months and gives you uninterrupted access long enough to complete Levels 1 and 2 and move well into the ongoing work of Level 3.
Choose the option that feels right for you.
Can I cancel anytime?+
The monthly membership can be canceled anytime.
