Why I created this course

Battling years of chronic illness led me on a journey of exploring all types of healing modalities. It wasn’t until I discovered the field of mind-body disorders and came to an understanding that emotional dysregulation was the cause of my physical dis-ease that symptoms began to ease.

This course is a culmination of everything I have learnt over the last decade of exploring physical and emotional health through a nervous system lens. Really, it’s everything I wish I had known when I first developed chronic health issues over a decade ago. If I had known this stuff back then, damn the last ten years would have been a lot more easy.

Is this course for you?

I expect the people who are most willing to commit to this course will fall into one of three categories:

  • People who are on a healing journey and need support with either their physical and/or emotional health through a nervous system lens.

  • People with an existing clinical practice who want to add evidence-backed nervous system tools to their client toolkit.

  • People who are fascinated with all things mind and body and are forever exploring different psycho-spiritual technologies.

What you will learn

( 01 ) Restore a felt sense of safety back into your body and gain access to higher brain structures that enable you to be creative and generative.

( 02 ) Rewire maladaptive stress responses and old patterns of fight, flight, freeze using research-backed protocols for restoring nervous system health.

( 03 ) Explore how to surf challenging emotions and work with the edges of your window of capacity.

( 04 ) Increase your psychobiological capacity so to handle greater complexity and challenge with growing ease.

( 05 ) Connect to your creativity to fulfill your psyche’s desire of expression. Here you will find meaning and aliveness.

( 06 ) Design your environments so that the spaces that you spend time are conducive to your desired nervous system state.

A Jungian Lens

I have been studying Jungian Psychology for the last 18 months and will be halfway through a Master’s in Jungian & Post-Jungian Studies by the time this course starts in March. The body has been put into the shadow in many psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic circles, but in Jung’s work, it has always been there. There are Jungian ideas woven throughout the course where relevant to nervous system health.

So, how does the course take shape?

  • In Depth Theoretical Explanations

    The course is combination of pre-recorded lessons and live sessions. Each week,
    you will have a suite of content written and recorded by James to engage with in your own time.

  • Guided Protocols & Exercises

    The intention of the course is to give you an embodied understanding of nervous system health so there are guided protocols
& exercises throughout. All of the protocols and exercises are completely safe and backed by quality peer-reviewed research.

  • Weekly Live Sessions

    Live Zoom sessions with James will consist of a combination of teaching, interactive exercises and time for a Q&A on the material covered that week.

  • Masterclass Sessions with Guest Teachers

    James has carefully selected a few wonderful teachers to expand your understanding of nervous system health. They are Kimberly Ann-Johnson, Alex Manos and Jenn Mann. They will run masterclass sessions on their relevant topic of speciality.

  • Supportive Community

    The course has been designed to be as interactive as possible. You are invited to connect, share and support each other on your joint venture of moving towards greater nervous system health.

    You will also be able to join any future cohort for half price.

  • Yes, if you decide that the course isn’t for you within the first week, then you can reach out to me and I’ll refund your payment.
