WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
What changes when your body finally exhales
Before The Reset....
A nervous system that feels permanently switched on — even when nothing is wrong
Chronic tension in the jaw, neck, shoulders, or belly that never fully releases
Exhaustion that rest doesn't seem to touch
A state of urgency running your system
Emotions that feel overwhelming or impossible to access
A sense of disconnection from the body — like living from the neck up
Sleep that doesn't feel restorative — waking already braced for the day
After The Reset...
A quieter baseline — the nervous system spending more time in genuine rest
Less chronic holding — areas that have been braced for years beginning to soften
Rest that actually restores — waking feeling like the system powered down
A wider pause between trigger and response — more space to choose and less urgency
Greater emotional capacity — feelings that move through rather than get stuck
A felt sense of body partnership — inhabiting rather than managing yourself
A daily morning practice that sets your nervous system baseline before the day begins
Stress doesn't just pass through.
It accumulates.
The nervous system is designed to move fluidly between states of activation and rest. But most people's nervous systems never fully complete that cycle. The activation is triggered — and then life moves on before the body has had the chance to discharge, settle, and return.
Over time, that incomplete activation accumulates and creates a persistent low-grade state of alert that shows up as anxiety, tension, exhaustion, and a difficulty resting even when rest is available.
Thinking harder doesn't resolve it. Because it isn't stored in the mind.
It is stored in the body.
You feel like your nervous system is always slightly on — even when life is objectively fine
You carry chronic tension in the body that massage, stretching, and rest don't fully resolve
You feel exhausted but wired — tired but unable to fully rest or switch off
You have done the therapy, the mindset work, the journalling — and something is still stuck
Your stress response feels disproportionate — your body reacts before your mind catches up
You struggle to slow down and your body is paying the price
You sense that the answer to how you're feeling lies somewhere in the body — you just haven't found the way in yet
We start with the body — because that's where real change begins." — Ruby Shine
FOUNDATIONS
Days 1-3
Landing · Breath as Anchor · Tension + Posture
Begin with body attunement — arriving in the body rather than thinking about it. Establish breath as your primary regulation tool. Work with the jaw, neck, shoulders, and psoas — the places the body holds stress most chronically.
CREATING SPACE
Days 4-6
Completing Stress Cycles · Releasing Urgency · Heart Clearing
Complete what stress has left unfinished through somatic discharge and movement. Release urgency as a body state and reclaim aligned action. Clear emotional holding in the chest through heart-centred somatic practice.
INTEGRATION
Days 7-10
Self-Hold · Expanding Capacity · Deep Rest · Body Partnership
Use touch as a regulation tool through self-hold and self-massage. Expand the window of tolerance through progressive capacity work. Access deep rest through yoga nidra. Close with your daily morning ritual — the practice that sets your nervous system baseline before the day begins.
If you've tried meditation or mindfulness and found it didn't reach the stress, this works differently
Meditation works top-down — from the mind toward the body. Somatic work works bottom-up — from the body directly into the nervous system. For stress that has accumulated in the body over months or years, the bottom-up approach is often the only thing that actually reaches it. Most people notice something shift within the first three days.
Common Questions
None at all. The course is designed for complete beginners. All you need is a willingness to pay attention to your own body for 20 minutes a day.
Yoga and meditation are valuable but work primarily top-down. This course works bottom-up — directly with the nervous system through somatic movement, breath, and body awareness. For accumulated stress, that distinction makes a significant difference.
Return the next morning without judgement. The nervous system doesn't care about streaks — it cares about direction. Every day you return is a day the system learns something new.
The programme is gentle, gradual, and specifically designed to work within your window of tolerance rather than push past it. If you have a significant trauma history, speak with your healthcare provider before beginning. The approach prioritises safety above all else.
Each session is approx 20 - 30 minutes — a short teaching podcast and a guided somatic practice. Nothing more. Consistency over intensity, always
Morning is ideal — before the demands of the day arrive. This is when the nervous system is most plastic and the practice has the greatest impact. Any consistent time works better than an inconsistent one.
Absolutely - working with your nervous system is one of the most important things to do before giving birth due to its role in labour. Note: The Expanding Capacity on Day 8 you will need to replace with the same breath on day 2 instead & not do the bonus Hot & Cold Therapy.
