With your hand on your heart, my friends, slow down, just a tad if you can.

I have found this to be true.

When I learned to balance my nervous system, I discovered my intuition, which I then grounded in my values, manifesting as my daily practices.

With a hand on heart, my friends.

Healing is learning how to sit with our emotions. All of them.
Start small, be gentle. You got this!

1. “Pick one day you can handle.”

Emotions feel overwhelming when you imagine facing them all at once. Start with one day, one emotion. By choosing it consciously, you reclaim power from avoidance.

When we practice TRE, are we working with the vagus nerve. Slowly, we are learning to be comfortable with our body's signals and strengthening our capacity to regulate our nervous system.

The vagus nerve is a primary carrier of information describing the state of the body to the brain, and transmitting information from the brain back to the body. It’s a feedback mechanism which is responsible for maintaining homeostasis for many of our vital organs and brain/body functions. Research over the past few decades shows that the vagus plays a key role in managing our levels of stress as well as our body’s inflammation; in this age of stress- and inflammation-related disease, it is perhaps the most important nerve in the body for us to be paying attention to.

Come learn more about the vagus nerve on our website, and register for the 2025 PVI International Gathering, The Vagus Nerve: A Path to Wellness, happening this fall, Oct 31-Nov 2, live in-person and online.

Were you sexually abused as a child? Are you stuck as an adult? I know how that feels. You’ve read all the right books, tried everything you can think of, and the same negative things keep happening again and again in your life and relationships. It’s a depressing hamster wheel, and you can’t figure out how to stop it. Ugh! I can help. I went through all of that on my own journey and finally found my way out. I can help you escape this depressing cycle, too. That’s why I offer private coaching for those stuck in this frustrating place. Some just need an hour, and they can move forward again. Others need more. Some need group coaching. Everyone is different. I help people all over the world using Skype or Zoom, or over the phone. I charge $125.00 per hour for Abuse Survivor Coaching. Email svava@educate4change.com to set up an appointment. You can also book on my calendar using the link HERE! If you need someone safe, someone who knows exactly how you feel and won’t judge, contact me. We can talk about it. You’ll feel much better. You really will.

Other Services: All services are provided using the internet (Skype or Zoom) or telephone.
