Stress, Epigenetics, the Gut Microbiome, and the Vagus Nerve.


In these 3-part workshop series we will take a deep dive into the Vagus Nerve – exploring its anatomy, its function within the autonomic nervous system, and its vital role in health, wellbeing, and healing.

We will look at what happens when it’s not functioning optimally and what we can do to stimulate its function.

These workshops are for anyone who wants to know more about this amazing nerve and its role in almost every body system and its connection between the body and the brain, including the ‘brain in our gut’.

The workshops will also be an invaluable foundation for the 10-part neuroscience workshops which focus on the Polyvagal Theory.

And for those of you who have already attended these workshops they will add to the knowledge you’ve gained!
