A life-changing 8-week journey to understanding, befriending & regulating your nervous system. 

A life-changing 8-week journey to understanding, befriending & regulating your nervous system. 

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, reactive, out of balance, burnt out, or perhaps all of the above?

 

IF SO, YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

 

& LET ME GUESS...

➡️ You've heard the phrase “nervous system regulation” and felt a glimmer of hope that this could help how you’re feeling.

➡️  Maybe you've followed the nervous system accounts on Instagram, done some googling, perhaps listened to some podcasts or bought a book on the topic.

➡️ Yet you still really have no idea where to start, which is only adding to your sense of overwhelm.

 
maybe you’ve tried some “regulation tools”
...and sure, they’ve helped


➡️ But you find yourself struggling to remember to use them and integrate them into your daily life.

➡️ And you're confused, trying to work out which tools to use when, and what your nervous system actually needs in any given moment 🤯

You just wish it was easier...


You wish you had a simple step-by-step roadmap and someone to guide you through what you actually need to know about your nervous system & how to best support it.

For many years, before I had a true understanding of the nervous system and just how massively it can influence all areas of our health and wellbeing, I tried so many different treatments for what I thought I was experiencing: anxiety and chronic fatigue.

Then one day I stumbled across the phrase “nervous system regulation”. 


Viewing my symptoms and experiences from the lens of the nervous system completely changed my understanding of why I was feeling the way I was feeling.


My health transformed.

➡️ I went from being the person always having to leave a dinner party early (because I was exhausted and needed to get to bed) to not even realising how late it was because I was having so much fun.

➡️ I went from being a chronic nail biter to having long, healthy nails without even consciously trying to stop biting.


And, most importantly,

➡️ I went from thinking I had “anxiety” and that I was “emotional and reactive” to feeling empowered and in control, through understanding the states of my nervous system and my triggers.

 
WHY isn’t this taught to us growing up?


Over many years I have witnessed countless transformations in my clients from taking a nervous system informed approach, rather than just a "stress management" or "anxiety management" approach. 

I've seen time & time again that no matter what is going with your health, understanding and supporting your nervous system is one of the most important things you can do.

It's a foundation you need to have in place to be healthy, happy, and perform at your best.

Working with Alena has genuinely changed my life for the better.

Before we started, I felt like I was constantly living in survival mode, I didn’t realise how dysregulated my nervous system was because I’d lived with those feelings for so long that they felt normal.

I wasn’t sure if anything could really change, but the way Alena guided me through the process—with tools that were practical, sustainable, and easy to integrate—made it all feel possible.

Our work has made a massive difference not only in how I feel day-to-day but also in my relationships—with myself and with others. I’m more present, grounded, and capable of navigating life’s challenges without feeling like I’m about to hit breaking point.

Learning to listen and care for myself from a nervous system perspective has been game-changing. Alena's approach is compassionate, thoughtful, and incredibly effective. 

 
Kate

I spent my 20s in deep and unnecessary struggle, desperately looking for cures because I wasn't aware of the nervous system and that mine was shouting for help. 

I had constant tension in my chest and at least one day of every weekend would be spent in bed, recovering from what most people would consider a normal week of work and life.

After working with Alena, I became aware of the conversation that my body was trying to have with me. I understood the tension in my chest was my nervous system on high alert. I learned that ignoring it was a gateway to mental and physical fatigue, skin flare ups, IBS, emotional turbulence, and complete overwhelm. Through listening and understanding, I gained awareness of what my mind and body needs to improve resilience and help prevent these issues from occurring.

I now have a much stronger level of resilience to the changing tides of life. I couldn't be more grateful to Alena for empowering me with this.

 
Ellen

Before working with Alena and incorporating her nervous system regulation tools I was existing in a fairly chronic state of overwhelm, burnout, stress & elevation. My window of tolerance for typical everyday stressors and challenges was much smaller.

I have now been able to create habits that are benefiting me in so many aspects of life—I have tools that are easily accessible not only when I am having a small moment of stress but also when extremely stressful life events happen.

I have less shame in terms of how I react & process stress and feel empowered knowing that when I am elevated I can so easily access tools to support myself!

Imagine...

  • Feeling empowered, understanding why you feel the way that you feel and what is going on in your nervous system.
  • Having a deep self-awareness knowing the things that contribute to you feeling calm, balanced, and regulated, and the things that make you dysregulated. 
  • Having a variety of effective tools & resources that work well for you to support your nervous system, that you are able to easily integrate into your day-to-day life.
  • Knowing what your nervous system needs in moments of activation or overwhelm, and being able to easily access tools to support yourself and your nervous system's state in-the-moment.
  • Being able to respond rather than react to stressful situations; feeling less overwhelmed with your kids, your partner, at work, with strangers, and in all areas of day-to-day life. 
  • Not feeling a constant sense of worry, urgency, stress and pressure, instead feeling more ease, calm, peace and presence in life, whilst also being able to access steady, balanced energy.
  • Knowing you have tools & resources to help you navigate the challenges of life and create more safety within your nervous system.
And Imagine having a step-by-step roadmap to help you get there...

WITH support & accountability to help you actually integrate and apply these tools (because it's  so easy to learn something and then never remember to practice it again!) 

 

This is why I created Regulation Foundations. 

ENROLL TODAY

Regulation Foundations is a foundational, holistic approach to nervous system regulation.

 

What does that mean?

It’s not just a compilation of tools or practices. Only learning tools is like only learning some words in a foreign language. You want to learn how to speak the language fluently to be able to better understand and communicate with your nervous system. (Aka: less overwhelm, more understanding!)

 

It considers all areas of health that can feed into nervous system regulation. From my background as a qualified naturopath & nutritionist I have woven together so many essential areas when it comes to supporting your nervous system. This ensures you have all the foundations in place for long-lasting change. 

 

It’s the blueprint framework that I used (and still use to this day) to support my nervous system, and the framework that I’ve used with my clients with incredible results.

 

It addresses the root cause of why you’re feeling the way that you’re feeling. It's not some "quick-fix" trend, it provides tools that you can literally use for the rest of your life to support balance in your health & wellbeing.

In just 8 weeks, you'll...

 

  • Understand what nervous system regulation ACTUALLY is and the states of your nervous system, so you can feel empowered rather than powerless when it comes to supporting dysregulation, anxiety & overwhelm.
  • Have learnt a variety of simple, effective regulation tools both for in-the-moment use and regular daily/weekly practice to support your nervous system to stay more regulated and respond rather than react to life.
  • Be supported to explore which of these tools work best for your nervous system and its states, creating your own unique "tool kit" of resources.
  • Know how nutrition and lifestyle impacts your nervous system, and how to make simple changes to support regulation and overall health & wellbeing.
  • Know which herbs and supplements can support the nervous system, and how to choose good quality ones to offer additional support to your nervous system.
  • Create a clear nervous system game-plan to continue supporting your nervous system ongoing into the future. 

What makes this course different?

When I was looking for further tools to support my nervous system I searched far & wide. I studied, took courses, read books, researched, and piece by piece brought together a nervous system framework that transformed my life & relationship with my nervous system, as well as my clients’.

 
 
There were two key things missing from all of the resources I found:

 

The foundations.

Most nervous system teachers and courses out there teach somatic tools and practices but completely miss the foundations. One of my favourite quotes is “it’s not just what you do, it’s how you do it”. You need a true understanding of the foundations, otherwise tools and practices won't get you very far. 

 

A truly holistic approach.

I am astounded at how many nervous system courses, guides, books and programs out there miss some CORE fundamentals to nervous system health, such as nutrition and lifestyle foundations. As a qualified nutritionist, I know what a significant role nutrition plays when it comes to nervous system regulation. As a degree-qualified naturopath and medical herbalist too I’ve also included lifestyle practices that are core foundations for nervous system health, as well as information on herbs + supplements that can offer support on your regulation journey.

 

My approach is to keep things simple, realistic, practical, and no-nonsense. This is not a course of information overload. There is a lot of information, but you’ll walk away knowing what to do with the information and how to actually integrate it into your life.

Grace

Alena has helped me to understand the nervous system in a way I never knew before. Through our work together I’ve learned practical tools and insights to help me to stay in a regulated state, especially when life gets busy. I feel like I have a clear understanding of how the “window of tolerance” works to keep me from either running out of steam, or getting too jacked up!

Unsure if this course is right for you? Try it risk-free.

Whilst I'm sure that you'll love this course, it's important to me that you feel that you've made the right investment. If you start the course and feel that it's not right for you, simply contact me within the first week (Module 1) for a refund. 

From working with you I really learnt to read my cues for when I'm feeling dysregulated and gained so many useful tips for small changes that I can consciously make to regulate my nervous system in the moment. I’m now so much more conscious of my body and how my actions affect me. Your approach to nervous system regulation and dietary changes are so simple that it didn't feel too overwhelming which is important because when you feel dysregulated, it's very easy to become overwhelmed with changes and things you should be doing!

Monique

Since I started working with Alena over a year ago, my health has transformed in a wonderfully positive way. Looking back, I find it hard to imagine how I considered the way I felt as acceptable. As a result of our work together, I'm much less anxious, sleep better at night, have learned to take breaks throughout the day, and my physical health has improved too.

CALLUM

This course is for you, if:

 

  • You want an easy-to-understand yet deep understanding of what nervous system regulation is and how it can help you to feel better and thrive in life.
  • You want to develop an awareness of your own nervous system, its states, how it communicates with you and how you can communicate with it.
  • You are ready and willing to make some changes to support yourself—and more importantly, you want to learn what the best changes for you to make actually are!
  • You want a holistic, foundational approach to nervous system regulation that considers the many different factors that can influence your nervous system.
  • You’re tired of complicated practices or “woo-woo” wellness and want simple, effective, evidence-based tools that are actually going to make a difference in how you feel.
  • You're ready to begin the life-long journey of befriending & supporting your nervous system (it's worth it, I promise!) 🤗

 

 

This course is not for you if:

 

❌  You’re looking for a “quick fix” or “instant cure”—nervous system awareness and regulation is a lifelong journey!

❌  You have a history of chronic trauma or mental health conditions and are not currently in a safe place to begin learning more about your nervous system—if this is you, I really recommend seeking 1:1 support 💛

❌  You are looking for a treatment or cure for any mental or physical health condition—this course does not claim to treat or cure any condition, rather it provides an incredibly useful framework that is important for overall wellbeing.

❌  You’re not ready to make some changes—this course won’t do anything for you if you’re not ready to make some changes to help yourself and begin to practice the things you learn. They don’t have to be big changes; a key part of my approach is slow & steady and meeting your nervous system where you’re at.

❌  You’re wanting to be perfectly regulated all the time—I’m sorry to say this, but that’s impossible 😊

 

Hi, I’m Alena!

 

As a qualified naturopath, nutritionist, herbalist and Polyvagal-infomed NLP practitioner I approach nervous system regulation in a way that is holistic and unique. I developed my nervous system approach when trying to heal my own dysregulated nervous system and through many years supporting thousands of people with their health.

My passion lies within the foundations of health: the things we all need in place to be healthy & well. My goal is to simplify these foundations and show how accessible they can be to everyone. And, you guessed it, nervous system regulation is one of the most important foundations!
