Workshops

Anesthesiology is the study of the autonomic nervous system. In my workshops and talks, I teach how to recognize when you’re in a defensive state and give you skills to use throughout your stressful day to navigate your way to a grounded, curious, and connected state.

Where you thrive instead of survive.

Increasing our nervous system flexibility increases our resilience and well-being. Once we learn to recognize and regulate our nervous system, we suddenly have more options and can see various ways to respond instead of reacting automatically.
