Nervous System Refresh: Evidence-Based Tools for Today’s Coach

Why do so many of us—and our clients—struggle with feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or out of balance in our daily lives? Understanding and managing our nervous system is foundational to wellness, yet it’s rarely explored in depth by coaches and practitioners. In this Nervous System Refresh session, the Wellspired team draws from evidence-based techniques, real client experiences, and widely respected tools like HeartMath coherence and somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body, restore balance, and bring emotional regulation into your coaching and life.

Join us as we dig into the science of the nervous system, demystify how chronic stress impacts overall health, and practice simple, accessible techniques like physiological sighs, grounding, and sensory awareness. Whether you’re coaching clients through tough transitions or looking to strengthen your own resilience, this class gives you the research, metaphors, and practices to confidently address nervous system regulation, all while upholding health coaching competencies.

This session is intentionally experiential—packed with opportunities for personal reflection, group discussion, and hands-on skill building. You’ll leave not just with new ideas, but with practical tools, a resource guide, and real-time strategies for integrating nervous system support into every coaching conversation.
