Building on the work of the incredible late Carrie Jost, this course looks at practical applications of this body of work.

  • In our practice with our clients
  • For ourselves when life asks us to navigate complex times

Sarah-Jayne brings her lived experience as a carer to her complex need adult son, and the resilience that requires, along with her love of the latest science and its revelations about how we can bring regulation and calm to our system and co-regulate with those around us.

The health outcomes of this work really are only just being discovered.

As Carrie Jost said about this course …

“Based on the work of Stephen Porges and others we can understand how trauma can become embodied and cause pain, low energy or relationship difficulties. Using the tracking approach, this course introduces some useful methods of testing for trauma and associated parts of the energy and physical systems. We shall look at ways to detect the problems and then to release the trauma, using simple balancing approaches.”

DURING THIS COURSE…

  • You will learn how to recognise and test for Vagus Nerve imbalance with its associated trauma
  • You will discover some great natural ways of restoring balance.
  • The intent is that we can be the best we can be, reaching for our goals in life.
