“Applied neurology teaches us that average isn't what you're meant to be. It's not at all."
”Neuroscience is the science of hope because it teaches us that we neuroplastic beings — changing all time. It is the hope that you can be more than average, you can be more than your pain, more than your trauma.”

Our nervous system is NOT a passive player in our lives…

It’s the driving force behind our behavior, relationship dynamics, resilience to stress, and is deeply patterned by our past experiences.

Imagine mastering the knowledge, framework, and key tools to not only understand these patterns, but know how to re-pattern them to transform how you and your clients navigate the world — through the power of neuroplasticity and intentional nervous system training.

THAT IS WHAT NEUROSOMATIC INTELLIGENCE OFFERS.

Our mission is to equip success-driven coaches, therapists, and practitioners like you with practical, actionable, science-based tools to optimize brain function, re-pattern the nervous system, increase stress resilience, and be deeply trauma-informed.

If you're inspired to break new ground in your practice and guide your clients towards authentic living with neurosomatic techniques tailored to their unique needs, all while revolutionizing the obsolete mental health model...

NSI will give you everything you need to lead the charge.

i know why you're here.

Right now, you've hit a wall in your 
practice and   leadership.  Styled word

You’ve gotten amazing results for your clients and LOVE what you do, but you’ve reached a point where it feels like you could help your clients go even further, but something vital is missing.

find out how

It's true, something is missing:

Working with the nervous system to heal stress response patterns and dysregulation at the root level.

In recent years, the nervous system has become *the* focal point of the personal development and mental health landscapes, and for good reason.

If you’re not currently using the nervous system to improve brain function, not only are you not reaching the full potential of what you could help your clients achieve, you’re also putting yourself as a practitioner on the fast-track to burnout (to pour into others constantly, you must have the tools to fill your own cup and expand your capacity).

Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching equips you with the evidence-based, effective tools and the neuro-knowledge you need to move beyond the analytical to a body- and brain-based, trauma-informed practice a practice that will produce radically different client outcomes, and completely redefine the efficacy of your work.

Are you ready to break out of the current plateau you feel confined to and start creating more meaningful and lasting change for your clients and yourself — backed by science?

You’re well-versed in a variety of healing modalities, but you’re frustrated by their limitations.
You want
to go
beyond —

You want to go beyond your current threshold to create a BIG impact, but you simply haven’t known how to — until now. This program and certification will give you everything you need.

It’s time for you to become a more powerful and effective coach, therapist or practitioner, learn from trailblazing experts, and join a community of nervous-system based practitioners that are shifting the paradigm of healing, expansion and growth.

After over 25 years as a therapist, where I focused extensively on the power of words to guide clients through their experiences,

I found a crucial piece missing in understanding how the body influences the brain's interpretation of events.

While I had explored somatics, the NSI approach took my understanding to a deeper, more expansive level.

The insights into the nervous system have profoundly reshaped my perspective on personal burnout and how my clients are impacted by our work together. This framework offers a more effective way to understand how our systems process information, tap into our nervous system's inherent resources, and measure what effectively settles and integrates the brain-body connection.

I’m passionate about sharing these transformative tools and this comprehensive framework with underserved communities and collaborating with other practitioners as an educator to broaden the reach of these powerful techniques.

VICTOR JONES, CLINICAL ADDICTIONS SPECIALIST & NSI EDUCATOR

The key to the thriving success you deeply desire for your clients and yourself is the nervous system.

…because the nervous system is the foundation of it all: life, health, energy, and vitality.

Image

Everything you’ve ever felt or done has been a result of brain and nervous system activity.

At the most fundamental level, your brain’s activation signals, neural pathways, and firing patterns determine who you have been, and, more crucially, who you will become.

Because all behaviors are based on brain activation and nervous system regulation, without the ability to skillfully guide and rehabilitate the nervous system, you are missing a fundamental opportunity to effect and drive human change in a positive direction.

Image

The Neurosomatic Intelligence Certification is a 12-week ICF accredited course for coaches, therapists, and practitioners that will walk you through a clear and comprehensive roadmap on how to use applied neurology to create REAL change for yourself and your clients, and grow a flourishing practice that you love and makes a BIG impact in the world.

You deserve not just to survive, but thrive as a coach, therapist, or healer — the same way you want your clients to.

In this program, you’ll learn how to understand what the nervous system is communicating, and effectively shape the story it’s telling…

This isn’t just becoming the central axis that today’s mental health and personal development work is beginning to revolve around, it’s the future of both industries.

If you want to experience more pleasure, fun, fulfillment and joy in your own life and career, and get ahead of the game to achieve a higher level of visibility, income and recognition as an expert in serving your client base, this certification is for you.

This program will bring you a greater sense of agency in your healing and purpose in your work than ever before — and it’s going to revolutionize the way you show up and lead.

Image

When you enroll, this is what’s waiting for you…

A life of ease, presence, and choice instead of burnout, dissociation, and people-pleasing is within your reach when you understand how to communicate with and rehabilitate the nervous system.

Dr. Lovey Bradley

“I cannot sing the praises of NSI enough — the teachers, the curriculum, and the profound impact of this work are simply unmatched.
As someone already immersed in the mind-body-spirit realm, I believed I understood the nervous system. NSI shattered those limitations, revealing depths I never anticipated. This newfound understanding has revolutionized my approach, allowing me to craft tailored tools for each client’s unique system. My clients now achieve a rapid sense of safety, leading to profound breakthroughs in visibility, receiving, and sustainable business growth. NSI has empowered me to establish a new homeostasis, providing a solid foundation for lasting transformation. It’s been a game-changer, and I’m thrilled to keep evolving with this extraordinary knowledge.”
Tracy Litt, CEO of The School of Becoming & Creator of Neuro-Identity Evolution™
Image
“As a mental health professional and trauma survivor, I had studied trauma for years but still faced regular flashbacks and cPTSD symptoms. Everything changed when I found NSI.
Recently, I encountered a boundary violation at work. My usual response would have been panic, but with NSI tools, I recognized my freeze-fawn pattern and removed myself. The next day, fully regulated, I calmly confronted the person who crossed my boundary. NSI has transformed my health, my business, and my relationships. Trust is hard for trauma survivors, but I’m grateful I didn’t let fear hold me back from creating the life I’ve always wanted. The science is clear, the methodology is sound, and the NSI team provides a safe space where healing is possible.”

What Our graduates are saying

What Our graduates are saying

“Incorporating Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching into my work is transformational to the point that I think that anyone who doesn’t is crazy.
If you are playing a big game, and leading in a big way, you can't do it without understanding and working with the nervous system. These tools are really a game changer to unlock high performance in your leadership and impact with your employees, clients and customers.”
Margy Feldhuhn
CEO of Interview Connections & Executive Coach
Image
“I've been applying these tools with my clients, and the results have been transformative.
Many of them arrive after years of therapy, fully aware of their diagnoses and how they impact their lives, yet they still struggle to shift their thinking, behavior, and relationships. The science of bottom-up coaching is often the crucial piece they've been missing. I’ve become a total neuro-nerd! Sharing NSI with my community truly energizes me.”
Piper Rose
VITA Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach, Flourish Health Coach, and Neurosomatic Coach
Image
“NSI opened the door for me to truly understand my deeply rooted fear response, helping me stop running from myself. This work has given me my life back.
I can say with absolute certainty that if I had discovered this 30 years ago, my life would be entirely different. Now, I’m incredibly passionate about supporting fellow NSI practitioners in growing their brands and businesses so they can reach and serve diverse communities with this transformative work.”
Carrie Montgomery
High Performance Coach for Entrepreneurs & NSI Practitioner
Image
“NSI was everything I didn’t realize I needed.
After 25 years as a nurse, I thought I had a solid grasp of anatomy and organ functions, but NSI connected the dots in ways I never imagined. It frustrates me that this vital knowledge isn’t part of standard healthcare training. Through NSI, I’ve learned so much about myself and experienced countless wins, including the ability to release emotions that had been holding me back. Remarkably, I’ve stopped having daily migraines — something I thought would never change. I want to shout this from the rooftops: everyone needs this work! It’s transformative and essential.”
Alysia East
Founder of Beelieve Wellness, Stress & Resilience Coach
Image
“NSI has been a journey in embracing my neurodivergent identity, self-discovery and acceptance.
It has given me a framework to begin to understand the overlap between trauma and neurodivergence, which is key to healing for both myself and my clients. Exploring the correlation between neurodivergence and the nervous system has been so enlightening and it has given me customizable tools to create regulation and safety for many types of unique nervous system expression.”
Lindsey Wall
Movement Practitioner & Neurodivergence Coach
Image
“My entire life has transformed since becoming part of NSI.
Through daily practice and the lessons I've learned, I experienced a profound mental shift, and my daily pain levels have dropped from a six to a two. I believe this kind of transformation is possible for anyone. These concepts and tools genuinely create immediate, tangible changes.”
Kimberly Bolton
Teacher, Mental Health Advocate, and Coach
Image
“This work is incredibly important, and everyone deserves access to this knowledge and education.
It has radically transformed my practice. I've secured new corporate accounts that are growing my business, but more importantly, I'm delivering real change and helping more people build stress resilience.”
Fielden Swimm
Life & Holistic Wellness Coach, 2022 NSI Participant
Image
“Understanding the nervous system allows us to recognize adolescents' behaviors as trauma responses rather than mere defiance, enabling us to better support their growth and treatment.
Teaching them about their nervous systems equips them with the language to articulate their experiences and seek help when needed. NSI has empowered me to address the root causes of behaviors instead of just treating the symptoms, which is crucial for genuine healing and empowerment, particularly for adolescents.”
Stephanie Ray
LCSW in Adolescent Mental Health
Image
“NSI has taught me, for the first time, how to prioritize myself and engage in self-care.
I’ve often heard that it's not my fault, but I’ve never been able to show myself kindness until now. Through this work, I’ve truly given myself permission to heal. I’m moving beyond simply understanding these concepts intellectually; I’m doing the work for myself first so I can be much more effective for others.”
Wendy White
Pilates Practitioner & Wellness Coach
Image
By cultivating more safety in the body, I’m able to create interpersonal relationships that feel authentic and connected.
"I can show up honestly and bravely to advocate for my own needs, and I feel better discernment and alignment with the people I want to engage with. As a neurodivergent person with C-PTSD and a high ACE score, NSI has been essential in my healing journey. I have been experiencing a dramatic improvement in anxiety levels during social interactions, and I am showing up in more spaces for work and personal life!"

    This program is for you if...

    You’re a coach, therapist, or a healer (somatic, medical, or movement practitioner) who wants to learn to work with the nervous system to create change in the brain (and therefore lasting behavior change)

    You have an already established practice and think of yourself as a super curious human who is fiercely dedicated to your education and expanding your capacity to serve not only your clients at a deeper level… but your greater community

    You’ve wanted to bring either neuro or somatics into your work for a while but you don’t resonate with a lot of the traditional programs and approaches

    You love the idea of having a practical, actionable, science-based personal nervous system daily hygiene routine — and developing the understanding required to be able to help clients find their high-payoff tools

    You’ve experienced stress or burnout in the past from not getting the change with clients they want, and/or from feeling like you’re not doing enough and overserving

    You want to leave your current job and do something more meaningful, or you want to build your career/business to drive more impact

    You desire to deeply understand neuroscience but don’t want to go back to school because that model feels outdated

    You work with (or would like to be capable of working with) PTSD and heavy trauma and are looking for a way to bridge the gap between mind and bodywork to create a holistic healing practice with consistent outcomes

    You want to help their clients beyond cognitive therapy or mindset coaching but don’t know enough about the nervous system to do that safely

    You’re interested in learning a framework for nervous system training that’s neuroscience-based as opposed to just “somatic” (and you’re ready to discover how to rehabilitate the nervous system to make things like somatic experiencing and emotional processing actually SAFE for yourself and your clients)

    You dream of helping your clients connect to their healing journeys in a more powerful, integrated way, bringing them back into their bodies, and watching them transform and thrive beyond what they ever could have initially imagined

    A Note From the Founder:

    As an Applied Neurology and Somatics practitioner with nearly two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry, I'm passionate about helping others. I'm also a high Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) score individual, so I deeply understand the complexities of navigating healing, personal development, business growth, and relationships with a nervous system that is primed for protection.

    For many years, my life looked good on the outside. I was a successful entrepreneur — engaged, well-educated — but underneath, I was living in a state of constant dysregulation, cycling through periods of overdoing and crashing with exhaustion. I was binge eating, battling autoimmune issues, and deeply entrenched in workaholism. Through my neuroeducation, my nervous system gradually began to change, and as it did, I reconnected with my body. I experienced presence and began to re-pattern my behaviors.

    I have also deeply cared for many people with high levels of complex trauma. I’ve seen firsthand the shortcomings of mental and medical health systems when practitioners lack an understanding of how the nervous system works. I've watched loved ones grapple with addiction, develop cancer, and pass away far too soon.

    Applied neurology and neurosomatic tools are not the only ways to re-pattern trauma, but they are among the most effective, customizable, and safe methods to rewire the nervous system. They build resilience and help mitigate the health and behavioral consequences we all face from chronic stress, developmental trauma, systemic oppression, or even old injuries and neurodivergent sensory processing.

    Image
    Image

    We believe everyone deserves to understand their brain and nervous system—how to use and work with them to create positive adaptations and overcome limitations caused by stress. By equipping more practitioners, coaches, and mental health professionals with these tools and this framework, we hope to collectively increase understanding and empower people to become the experts of their own nervous systems, gaining agency over their lives.

    Nervous system regulation is more than just a buzzword. This program isn’t a quick fix or a templated solution; it’s an education in neuroscience and a toolkit for re-patterning through sensory processing. By harnessing the power of neuroplasticity through repetition and intentional training, you can create profound change beyond the cognitive level.

    Over time, NSI has grown into a beautiful community of incredible and diverse practitioners that I am incredibly proud to be a part of, and I'm really glad you're here.
