Vagus Nerve Coaching and Nervous System Regulation
What is the Vagus Nerve?
Did you know that you have a bi-directional superhighway called the Vagus Nerve. It connects your brain and your gut? It's the 10th cranial nerve and we call it the "wanderer."
Did you know that 80% of that messaging is afferent; meaning it comes up from the gut to the brain?
Did you know that anxiety, stress, depression, eczema, reflux, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, immune dysregulation, etc all are linked to the vagus nerve and nervous system regulation?
What is Nervous System Regulation?
All of our physical and mental health symptoms are directly linked to our nervous system
Building Capacity
At Wellness For The Mind, we will start with nervous system science and education. The focus here is on awareness of how our thinking impacts our nervous system and symptoms.
Vagus Nerve Tools
Once we begin to build the foundation of capacity and safety, we will then co-create vagus nerve tools that fit you.
Rewiring and Somatics
As capacity and safety develop more, then we begin to weave in scientifically validated approaches to rewire the brain and move out of protective modes of being shut down.

What Clients Say?
When clients contact Wellness For The Mind, they have been on numerous health protocols, for years, that have not resolved their symptoms.
Often times, they report losing so much of their life because they feel like prisoners to their health concerns and symptoms.
After starting Wellness For The Mind, clients openly share that they are able to LIVE LIFE AGAIN. Many report being able to socialize again. They spend less time needing to rest. They even get back to their favorite activities.
