Embodied Nervous System Academy
Understand your nervous system. Understand yourself.
Your nervous system is involved in nearly every aspect of how you experience lfe. It influences how you respond to stress, connect with others, experience emotion, navigate change, rest, recover, make decisions, and move through the world.
The Embodied Nervous System Academy brings nervous system education out of the textbook and into everyday life. Through clear education, practical application, and embodied experience, you'll learn not only how your nervous system works, but how to recognize and work with your own.
Knowledge informs. Awareness awakens. Practice transforms. Embodiment sustains.
***PLEASE BE PATIENT AS I UPDATE THIS WEBSITE, COURSES WILL BE ACCESIBLE SOON*** Return to Center, Return to Self, Balanced Self Sanctuary, and Trauma & Nervous System Support is currently available. Please explore those options in the meantime.

Individual Support: Trauma & Nervous System Support
Sometimes understanding the nervous system leads to more personal questions.
Trauma & Nervous System Support are one-to-one sessions with Tanya for learners who want individualized support understanding their nervous system, recognizing protective patterns, developing regulation skills, and applying what they are learning to their own lives.
Supportive Group Experience: Return to Self

Return to Self brings education, reflection, practice, integration, live teaching, and opportunities for questions together in a guided learning experience.
Your Nervous System Is Part of Everyday Life
Many of us learn how to achieve, perform, and care for others, meet responsibilities, and keep going long before we learned how to understand what was happening within our own bodies.
We may recognize anxiety, overwhelm, exhaustion, difficulty resting, overthinking, shutting down, people pleasing, perfectionism, or constantly staying busy without understanding the nervous system processes beneath those experiences.
Nervous System education gives us another way to understand ourselves. Instead of immediately asking, "What is wrong with me?" we can begin asking:
What is happening within me?
What is my nervous system responding to?
What has my body learned?
What does it need now?
Understanding creates choice. And choice gives us the opportunity to respond differently.
