You inherit your mother’s nervous system. The w You inherit your mother’s nervous system.

The way her body responded to stress, safety, love, chaos, nourishment and touch shaped the blueprint your own system was built upon. 

These patterns get passed through the womb and the subtle ways our caregivers regulated (or couldn’t regulate) themselves.

This is why so many of us grow up feeling anxious, overwhelmed or “too much.”

But it isn’t a personal flaw. And it isn’t your parents’ fault. It’s just your lineage.

The good news is that the nervous system patterns you inherited are not your destiny. 

Through embodied awareness, nervous system and energy work and loving consistency…we can literally rewire our physiology.

This is the heart of what we teach inside The Shakti School - how to reclaim your inner world, heal the inherited patterns living in your tissues, and pass down a more regulated, embodied lineage to everyone who comes after you.
