In this 75 minute virtual class you will learn effective, accessible neuro-somatic practices to enhance psycho-emotional and physical well-being. This class weaves together neurology, emotional freedom techniques, and somatic movement to establish more safety in the nervous system and promote more ease, calm, and regulation.
Our capacity to thrive is driven by the mind+ body relationship, when shift what’s being communicated between brain and body from messages of stress to messages of pleasure, our capacity expands. WHen we connect with sensations of pleasure in the body, our nervous system sends messages of safety to the brain. Some examples of pleasure include:
-a subtle expansion in. your chest
-a warm sensation in your belly
-a grounding sensation in your feet or pelvic bowl
When we gain fluency in the language of our nervous system, the language of sensation, we are able to start our journey to heal stress and trauma where they exist, in the body. When we combine this with practices to enhance sensory input through neurology, we can more easily hear the stories our body is trying to tell us.
This class combines the wisdom and expertise of three incredible teachers:
Jennifer Wallace + Elisabeth Kristof, co-hosts of the Trauma Rewired Podcast
Veronica Rottman of Waking Womb

Elisabeth is a certified applied neurology practitioner who has been in the wellness industry since 2007. She works with entrepreneurs, athletes, leaders and creatives to improve resilience, manage stress and regulate emotions through intentional, science-based brain training.
Her research and work with hundreds of clients taught her that healing and change must occur in both the body and the mind, that each body, mind, and nervous system is unique, and most importantly, that with the right tools, we are all capable of healing.
She is also the founder of Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Certification, an ICF-accredited course that teaches leading-edge, somatic coaching that creates client transformation from the body to the brain.
In the first part of this workshop, Elisabeth Kristof, founder of Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching, will guide you through a short applied neurology practice, focusing on the cranial nerves.
Stress can significantly impact your nervous system, creating a ripple effect on your overall well-being. These tools are not just about relaxation; they are about creating a foundation of safety within your own body.
These easy to implement, practical techniques realign your nervous system. By enhancing clarity and accuracy in sensory inputs, you're paving the way for a calmer, more centered existence.
The magic of these tools lies in their ability to regulate your nervous system, and provide clearer inputs to your brain. This prepares the nervous system for diving deeper into emotional and somatic pleasure practices. Why does this matter? Because the journey to experiencing pleasure starts with feeling safe and connected within yourself.

The second part of the work shop will be working with the emotional body with Jennifer Wallace. She will lead you through a gentle EFT, emotional release practice, intended to create safety around meeting your pelvic floor.
Our pelvic bowl often carries the burden of being a deep well for repressed emotions. We live in a world that wants to keep us disconnected from our bodies and our emotions but this only furthers dissociation and shame while pushing down grief and anger.
With a gentle EFT practice we will connect safely and begin supporting the body in releasing. There are many self protective responses that your body will use to keep these emotions down but the repressing of emotions has dangerous consequences in the body.

As an ambassador of pleasure, Veronica will teach you how pleasure opens more capacity for safety in the nervous system via the somatic channel of movement.
