A body first guide to healing yourself.
Your autonomic nervous system runs a constant, mostly subconscious conversation between your brain and body. Under stress, anxiety, or trauma it can get trapped in survival mode, showing up as chronic physical and mental symptoms.
Combining science backed insight with hands on technique, Jen and Karden offer an accessible look at nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, Polyvagal theory, and the vagus nerve, and teach you to speak the language of your body and heal.
“A sturdy yet flexible framework for integrated mind body healing.”
