Why You Need a Nervous System Coach to Beat Burnout
Life can be a real whirlwind, and sometimes, our well-being gets lost in the chaos. If you've ever found yourself bouncing from one doctor to another, convinced that something's not right but hearing them say, "Everything is fine," you're not alone. So many people suffer from chronic disease, burnout, and mystery illness. This journey can be incredibly frustrating and feel like an uphill battle, but there's a guiding hand – the nervous system coach.
A nervous system coach isn't just a regular health coach. They’re like a roadmap to beating burnout and the fallout of chronic stress. They help you figure out your unique path to overcoming side effects of long-term stress like bloating, fatigue, sleep problems, and brain fog. They help you reclaim your life.
In this article, we'll break down what a nervous system coach does and how I can help you lead a more balanced, resilient, and healthier life.
Understanding Health and Wellness
Before we explore the details of a nervous system coach's role, it's important to distinguish between health and wellness, as they play a large role in this industry.
Health, while essential, is only one aspect of the broader concept of wellness. Health primarily concerns the absence of physical or mental illness, including factors like sleep, nutrition, exercise, and the management of acute and chronic conditions.
On the other hand, wellness is a comprehensive approach to nurturing a healthy lifestyle, aiming for optimal health. Wellness extends beyond physical well-being and encompasses relationships, social connections, work, the physical environment, and various other facets of life.
What Nervous System Coaches Help With
Accountability and Support:
When you’re trying to make lifestyle changes to reduce stress and heal your nervous system, a coach can be the difference between success and falling off the wagon. I help you get the results you WANT by holding you accountable, supporting you along the way, and offering motivation and encouragement as you solve pieces of the puzzle. Calming your nervous system and retraining your brain takes time and effort. I have also been through the chronic illness recovery journey and experienced burnout myself, and understand how frustrating it is when you feel unseen and unheard. As a nervous system coach, I can provide invaluable support and can help guide you through brain retraining exercises, acting as a cheerleader as you celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem.

It extends to nutrition, exercise, nervous system regulation techniques, and neuroplasticity. As a team, you and I use this knowledge to guide you effectively on your path to wellness.
Lifestyle Integration:
Nervous system regulation is not solely about nutrition and physical activity. It involves addressing various aspects of your life, including stress management, mindset shifts, and lifestyle changes. Nervous system coaches, like myself, assist you in making these vital adjustments, helping you break the cycle of burnout and reach goals you never thought possible.
Lasting Change:
Nervous system regulation, neuroplasticity exercises, lifestyle changes, and mindset shifts are not quick fixes. Building healthy habits requires time and persistence. Nervous system coaches are committed to helping you create lasting and sustainable changes, strengthening your nervous system, increasing resilience, and restoring balance to your life.

My Personal Approach and Philosophy:
Every one-on-one coaching session with myself is designed to offer you clarity, encouragement, and practical lifestyle advice to help you progress on your path to recovery and nervous system regulation. My personal approach is grounded in the following principles:
Mind-Body Connection:
Recognizing the profound connection between mental and physical health, I promote mind-body techniques, such as breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, and meditation, to foster nervous system healing.
Brain Retraining:
Unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors can perpetuate keep you stressed, anxious, and fatigued. My job is to assist you in changing these thought patterns to help you regain control of your life, and make everything feel less overwhelming.
Polyvagal Theory:
Traumatic and stressful thought patterns often become stored in the brain and body, leading to digestive problems like constipation, bloating, and nausea, always leaving you feeling anxious or on edge, and even having bouts of depression. These symptoms can all develop from a dysregulated nervous system. Through body exercises and lifestyle changes, I help you strengthen your stress tolerance and alleviate the feeling of impending doom.
