WHY REGULATION FOUNDATIONS?
Regulation Foundations is an evidence-based step-by-step roadmap to deeply understanding and supporting your nervous system, as an essential foundation for you to live a happier, healthier, more balanced life.
Whether your goal is to manage stress, overcome anxiety, increase your energy levels or heal physical symptoms, nervous system regulation is key, and the most important place to start, as your nervous system influences all other body systems AND how you feel day-to-day.
Regulation Foundations is the only nervous system regulation course designed by a naturopath, nutritionist, and polyvagal practitioner.
It's a truly comprehensive, holistic approach to nervous system regulation (no more guessing or piecing things together yourself!)
It's not a "quick fix" trend—it addresses the root cause of why you're feeling the way you're feeling, and provides tools that you can literally use for the rest of your life to support your health & wellbeing.
Imagine...
- No longer feeling overwhelmed, burnt out or in survival mode, instead feeling calm, safe and at ease in your body.
- Feeling empowered through understanding what is going on in your nervous system and the things that contribute to you being regulated or dysregulated.
- Knowing what your nervous system needs in moments of activation or overwhelm, and being able to easily access tools to support yourself.
- 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 your day-to-day life.
- Being able to access steady, grounded, balanced energy, to help you feel and perform at your best.
And Imagine having a simple, 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 my blueprint framework for nervous system regulation
I know what it feels like to be searching for answers. Before I had a true understanding of the nervous system and 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.
Everything changed when I learnt about nervous system regulation. I realised my body wasn’t failing me, it was trying to protect me.
Viewing my symptoms through this lens, and learning how to regulate my nervous system, completely transformed my health.
Regulation Foundations contains all of the information I wish I had many years ago for my own healing journey.
This information has truly changed my life, and the lives of so many of my clients and students. You'll finish the course with an operating manual for your nervous system that you can use for the rest of your life to support your mental & physical health.
I created this course because there's nothing else like it out there, and I believe it's so important for everyone to have this information.
The information you'll learn throughout the 8 weeks is accessible and easy to integrate (the course has been designed for busy, overwhelmed people, so don't worry if this is you!)
And the best part? You'll have access to me throughout the course for guidance, accountability & to have all your questions answered. I'll be walking this journey alongside you, supporting you to put what you've learnt into practice 🤗
I'd love for you to join me on this journey.

What makes this course different?
The foundations
A lot of people teach nervous system tools and practices but miss the foundations.
Only learning tools is like only learning some words in a foreign language (helpful, but it won't get you very far)
You need to learn how to speak the language of your nervous system fluently to be able to understand and communicate with it.
Regulation Foundations will teach you how to become fluent in the language of your nervous system, not just tools and practices (although you'll learn a lot of those too!)
A truly holistic approach
Most people also miss some essential fundamentals to nervous system health, such as nutrition and lifestyle.
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 herbalist, I’ve also included lifestyle practices that are core foundations for nervous system health, as well as information on herbs + supplements that can offer additional support on your regulation journey.
These areas can make a big difference in your regulation journey (and your overall health!)

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 practitioner, I approach nervous system regulation in a way that is holistic and unique. I developed my nervous system approach through learning how to heal my own dysregulated nervous system, and over the past decade 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!
