Sleep disruption, nausea, exhaustion, voice changes… sound familiar?
Earlier this year, a woman I’d met previously came to me for one-to-one support. We had spoken years ago about her sleep issues and night terrors, which had worsened since COVID.
She’d been attending yoga and found some benefit, but the symptoms kept coming in waves.
In 2024, I refocused my teaching around Nervous System Reset, naming it clearly. The clarity helped me, and it helped people find what they needed.
Around the same time, she changed GP. Her new doctor listened deeply and saw what many miss her symptoms pointed to a nervous system stuck in dysregulation.
He saw:
•Sleep disturbance
•Exhaustion without illness (fight-or-flight)
•Nausea and stomach growling (vagus nerve overdrive)
•Hoarseness of voice (vagal tone issue)
He recommended medication, herbs, and specifically suggested she seek out movement and breathwork to help her reset.
She booked a Therapeutic Yoga Massage. After hearing her GP’s insights, I guided her through a session focused on nervous-system-aware yoga, breathwork, and vocalisation.She slept deeply that night.
She kept practicing and the improvement has continued.
As Prof. Andrew Huberman recently said, the vagus nerve isn’t about “relaxation.” It’s about regulation. It too can be in overdrive.
The practices I teach create healthy vagal tone. They bring you back from both underactivity and overdrive.
This kind of dysregulation isn’t solved through the mind alone.
You have to move. You have to feel. You have to reset.
