Course overview

Self-care has been commodified, aestheticized, and made to feel like another thing to fail at. This free course cuts through the noise and returns to what evidence-based self-care actually is: the small, consistent practices that regulate your nervous system, replenish your energy, and make sustainable functioning possible.

Across four weeks and six modules, you will learn to audit your current self-care, understand your nervous system's needs, and build a personalized self-care system that fits your real life — not an idealized one.

Build self-care systems that are sustainable, evidence-based, and tailored to your nervous system and life context — without guilt, perfection, or unsustainable routines.
