  • Interoceptive Awareness and the Vagus Nerve

    Interoception is the perception of sensations arising from within the body. It is often described as our eighth sense, yet for many people it is the least developed, the most misunderstood, or the most disrupted. Interoception is not a vague or abstract concept. It is the direct, moment-to-moment ability to feel and interpret the internal…

  • The Neurobiological Process of an Emotional Trigger

    Emotional triggers are often spoken about in the context of relationships, trauma healing and personal growth. Yet few people understand what is actually happening inside the brain and body when a trigger is activated. The experience can feel overwhelming, disorienting or even frightening, especially when the reaction feels disproportionate to the situation. But when we…

  • Why use a “Bottom Up” Approach for True Healing

    Modern neuroscience has changed everything we once believed about healing and emotional development. For many years psychology focused almost entirely on the mind and assumed that if we could change the way we think, our feelings and behaviour would naturally follow. This approach suggested that healing was a mental process and that awareness alone could…

  • Why We Repeat Painful Patterns: The Nervous System, Perception & Pain-Pleasure Loop

    We often fault ourselves for repeating painful patterns in relationships, careers or behaviours. We might call it “self‑sabotage”, “bad luck”, or “I keep choosing the same toxic type”. But from a nervous‑system and brain‑based perspective, this repetition isn’t simply a failure of will‑power. Rather, it is deeply rooted in how your brain, body and nervous…

  • The Nervous System & Neuromechanics: Trauma Shapes the Way You Move, Feel, and Live

    The nervous system is a living intelligence, quietly orchestrating every aspect of human movement, reflex, and sensation. It is responsible for guiding posture, balance, coordination, and fine motor skills, all while responding to the environment and emotional experiences. Most people do not realise that their nervous system is not simply a biological machine but a…

  • The Biology of Trauma, Epigenetics & Ancestral Healing

    Trauma isn’t only psychological. It is biological, neurological, and transgenerational. Every experience we go through — every moment of love, loss, safety, or threat — leaves a trace in our nervous system and our genes. Modern science is finally proving what ancient wisdom, somatic traditions, and energy medicine have long known: the body remembers. Epigenetic…
