Self-Regulation: Creating Habits of Ease

Live Webinar

Trauma and toxic stress impact our nervous system, brain, health, and epigenetics. Trauma impacts the developing brain and can set up a cascade of effects across the health and life trajectory.

The restorative practices of Self-Regulation allow us to care for the nervous system and brain – restoring our natural wholeness and brilliance. We are growing the EASE where the learning is done.

When the nervous system is balanced and the brain receives more circulation, the learning parts of our brain light up. We come out of survival mode. When we feel safe and connected the body can enter the restorative state of self-regulation.

Four part series held on Zoom from 9:00 am – 10:30 am Pacific Time:
