What is Neuro-Somatic Intelligence?

Neuro-Somatic Intelligence is a training practice that uses neural exercises to intentionally create positive changes in the health and function of the nervous system.

One of the primary functions of the nervous system is to conserve energy for survival. Unfortunately, change of all types requires an enormous amount of energy. No wonder we are resistant to change! When you work intentionally with the nervous system to grow its capacity, change comes more easily.

For those seeking change, tapping into the nervous system probably isn’t top-of-mind when it comes to looking for help! More commonly, people explore…

  • Talk therapy, life coaching, and journaling

  • Meditation, breathwork, and yoga

  • Books, podcasts, articles, blogs, and social media to learn about self-improvement

All of these things help—I use nearly all of them myself! However, it’s rare to come across a person who read that one book or worked with that one therapist that literally changed their life. More commonly, some things improve, but certain problematic behaviors, reactions, and beliefs persist. Every day, it’s more of the same: “I guess this is just the way I am.”

“It’s just the way I am” doesn’t have to be just the way you are.

I know you WANT to change—of course you do. It’s your body that doesn't. More accurately, it’s your nervous system that doesn’t. Change doesn’t feel safe, and your nervous system takes its role as your protector very seriously.

  • What if you could learn how to talk to your nervous system?

  • What if you could learn its language and communicate with it?

  • What if you could tell it to chill out and stop preparing to be eaten by a saber-toothed tiger?

Neuro-Somatic Intelligence is the way forward and the tools it teaches you become your translator.

We’ll go as deep as you’re comfortable with

Neuro-Somatic Intelligence coaching provides a safe, judgment-free space for identifying what you want to stop doing and what you want to start doing, even if you’ve tried to change before without success.

The list of problematic behaviors we can address is virtually endless.

Perhaps you:

  • Obsess over things you’ve said or done

  • Are constantly on alert for something bad to happen

  • Overindulge in food or alcohol to self-soothe or numb

  • Doom scroll or binge watch to zone out and disconnect

  • Feel out of control of your reactions to stressful situations

  • Snap at your partner, children, or others

  • Have ditched your big dreams because they feel too overwhelming

  • Abandon your needs for the desires or demands of others

  • Procrastinate or get stuck in endless cycles of perfecting

In our coaching work together, we identify what you’re struggling with most and use intentional nervous system exercises to create emotional regulation. Based on your unique nervous system, we’ll create a collection of neuro-tools to increase your capacity for tolerating stress and rescue yourself in times of dysregulation.

Ultimately, our goal is to uncover the subconscious beliefs that are driving these unwanted behaviors and rewire them, thanks to the miracle of neuroplasticity. When your body feels safe at the level of the nervous system, real change is possible and lasting.
