Are you seeking a deeper understanding of your nervous system and tools for emotional regulation as part of your healing journey?
This therapist-led class offers an accessible introduction to Polyvagal Theory, helping participants explore how the body’s survival responses shape thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Through applied practice, Ashley guides participants in using experiential tools, guided exercises, and real-time nervous system mapping to build self-awareness, increase resilience, and support nervous system flexibility.
