Neurosomatic intelligence
Leveraging neuroplasticity to optimize brain function, repattern the nervous system, and drive lasting change 
Learn More about the nsi certification
We teach coaches, therapists, and practitioners how to effectively work with the nervous system to learn, unlearn, and reshape neural networks,
driving adaptation in a positive direction for increased resilience
and new behaviors based on a regulated stress response.
and new behaviors based on a regulated stress response.
Introducing a new revolutionary paradigm of care...
We are neuroplastic beings, always responding to stimulus and environment. Our brains are not fixed structures but rather dynamic and malleable organs capable of adapting and rewiring themselves based on the input they receive.
Our nervous system connects us to the outside world and allows us to process and understand it. If we want to change our beliefs and behaviors, we have to start by working with the foundation they’re wired from: our nervous system.
Neurosomatic Intelligence bridges the gap between mindset work, somatic experiencing, and trauma resolution to create expanded capacity in the nervous system, and with it, new possibilities for healing and growth.
Our ICF-accredited NSI certification is currently the only program showing coaches, therapists, and practitioners how to use applied neurology to safely train and rehabilitate the nervous system, re-educate the body and brain for real change, and help clients and patients interrupt and successfully repattern old beliefs and behaviors to establish consistent new outcomes that far surpass their goals.

We stand for liberation:
From oppressive paradigms in wellness, medicine, mental health, and society at large.
From a broken system that’s wired into our neural architecture.
From individual-oriented healing frameworks that don’t look at collective trauma or collective impact.
How do we do it?
By creating capacity and resilience in the nervous system to experience and sustain change.

Our Founder
Elisabeth Kristof
MA, Applied Neurology & Somatic Practitioner, co-host of the Apple Top 100 podcast, Trauma Rewired
Elisbaeth has been involved in neuro- and movement-based therapies since early 2007, and her research and work over the past 5 years in complex trauma have established her as an expert in the use of applied neurology in trauma resolution.
Having both witnessed and experienced firsthand the harm that can occur in therapy, coaching, and somatic spaces when practitioners do not have tools to work with the nervous system or a means to understand what the nervous system is communicating — from pushing clients into dissociative episodes, to emotional flashbacks, to suicidal ideation, to episodes of chronic pain — Elisabeth was driven to create The Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification, which she has been co-facilitating with Matt Bush, MA for the past several years.
Elisabeth is also the founder of Brain-Based Wellness, an online membership-focused platform that trains the nervous system and body to resolve old patterns, improve performance, and increase wellbeing.
I have the lived experience of moving through the world in a body with a high ACE score. I know how heartbreaking it is to cognitively understand yourself and your behavior — and not be able to change it.
NSI is my answer to this challenge. It offers a pathway to contribute to the growing global conversation on how to integrate nervous system regulation and resilience into a mental health model that urgently needs to evolve to create safer, more meaningful change and deeper trauma resolution.
