your life. Sometimes life presents unexpected circumstances or events can overwhelm and confuse us.

Homeostasis/regulation/ventral vagal -
For me are different words for the same state of being in our autonomic nervous system.

I read some confusing 🫤 things in social media about this state of wellbeing.

In Homeostasis/regulation/ventral vagal means we are at our optimum of humanous.

We can
-feel our own emotions
-we are not overwhelmed by our emotions
We can
-attune to how others are feeling and respond to their needs
- think clearly
- resolve and repair ruptures in relationships
- sleep better
- access our prefrontal cortex to manage stress
We have enough vagal tone to manage immediate stress (responsive not reflexive). We still have activation of the sympathetic branch (fight/flight) but we can access to the brakes (vagal tone) to slow things down - to assess, and co-regulate or make decisions from a prefrontal brain instead of the reactive limbic brain.

This state of Homeostasis/regulation/ventral vagal is not about controlling yourself per se. It is about rebalancing your ANS just like you go to the gym for muscle building.

The best and easiest way to achieve this doesn’t have all the bells and whistles. It isn’t some fancy technique. It is well researched and documented. It is boring. But it is a practice and can be considered a type of meditation.

It is resonance breathing. Approx 6 breaths per minute.
4 secs in and 6 secs out - for those that lean towards sympathetic activation and for sleep
5 secs in and 5 secs out for those that lean towards more dominant parasympathetic activation.

Living in a stressful world it seems resonant breathing is as necessary as exercise and healthy diet.

Our Story

Evolving and growing. That is what many of my clients struggle with. Couples who can’t make up, who bicker at the slightest thing. For some, it is one of the partners that is waiting patiently for the other to come on board the growth and learning train with them. On occasions I hear something like this, “I was scared that this might happen, that I’d leave you behind.” In scenarios like this, it usually means the beginning of the end.

I specialise in relationships. To be honest I like happy endings where I can work with couples to repair, and reconnect. I teach them skills on how to listen, understand, empathise and apologise. I help couples understand and how to mend the wounds of infidelity.

Relationships can take us by surprise and have us wondering, “how did this get so messy?” There is a way forward. Relationships are a skill and I have worked with many couples to turn their relationship around to be more loving instead of fighting. Wouldn’t you like to feel more connected and loved in your relationship? Let me help you through these relationship hurdles. Let me help you go from despair to care in your relationship. If you are willing to learn and change to save your relationship pick up the phone and talk with me, send me a message on FB or email me - Let’s get things started...
