Wednesday 4:30pm Nourish Your Nervous System

Rewire your brain and regulate your nervous system with novel movement, vagal nerve stimulation, and mindful practices. This science-backed class helps you break free from chronic pain, stress, and unhelpful patterns while fostering new neural pathways for healing, recovery, and emotional resilience. It’s especially beneficial for those recovering from brain injuries, chronic conditions, or trauma, offering tools to support neuroplasticity and optimize healing.

Key Benefits:

• Healing and Recovery: Enhance the brain’s ability to adapt after injuries, including brain trauma, or address chronic conditions.
• Vagal Nerve Stimulation: Regulate stress responses, improve digestion, and promote calm.
• Breaking Old Patterns: Use novel movements to disrupt chronic pain patterns and create healthier neural connections.
• Resilience and Growth: Build emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and enhance self-awareness.

What to Expect:

• Warm-Up: Gentle, rhythmic movements and breathwork to activate the vagus nerve and prepare the body for healing.
• Core Session:
• Novel Movement: Creative, engaging exercises to challenge coordination and “unstick” old patterns.
• Cross-Body Exercises: Enhance brain hemisphere communication and motor control.
• Somatic Exploration: Slow, mindful movements to rebuild pathways affected by injury or chronic patterns.
• Vagal Activation Practices: Humming, chanting, and gentle stretches to calm the nervous system and aid recovery.
• Mindful Integration: Restorative poses and guided imagery to solidify healthier connections and promote relaxation.
• Closing Circle: Reflect, connect with the group, and set intentions for continued growth.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move, bring a water bottle, plan for bare feet or grippy socks. There is a wheelchair ramp in back of the clinic, please notify us in advance if you plan to use it so that we can make sure to keep the back door open for you:, as otherwise the back door is used for patient use and leads into a treatment room vs directly into the studio space. dr.cat@catherinelewan.com (843) 580-2005. There is limited parking in back, please be sure to park directly behind the 769 Meeting building (it looks like a house.) If you are not a patient and have not arranged to use the wheelchair ramp/back door, please walk around to the front door as the back door enters directly into a patient treatment room and a treatment may be in session.

We aspire to be accessible for all. Restrooms are gender neutral and accessible. If you have any accessibility concerns, please contact us.
