REST, RESTORE, RESET

The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) has two key branches: one manages stress (the "fight or flight" response), while the other promotes recovery and restoration (the "rest and digest" response). Many people today experience Autonomic Nervous System Dysregulation, a state where the stress-response branch dominates. This imbalance has been linked to chronic diseases and increased risks of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The GOOD news is that you can learn strategies to help activate the restore branch of your ANS.

Join one of our in-person or virtual R3: Rest, Reset, and Restore Sessions to explore and practice these techniques.
