90-minute Nervous System Toolkit Coaching Session:
When life throws you into a period of uncertainty, treatment, or loss, your nervous system can get stuck on high alert—leaving you feeling anxious, flooded, exhausted, or unable to rest. This 90-minute virtual coaching session (not therapy) teaches you practical, science-backed tools to calm your body and mind during acute distress.
Led by a licensed trauma therapist (LCSW) and EMDR practitioner, you’ll leave with a personalized map of your nervous system and skills you can use anywhere—whether you’re facing a difficult procedure, a sleepless night, or an unexpected trigger.
