Polyvagal PLAY Monthly Gathering: People ask what we do in there.

We pause. We slow down, not the performative kind of slow. We listen, to our own bodies first, then to each other. We activate, laughter, voice, movement, whatever lets something stuck finally move through. We yield, come back to stillness with a nervous system that has somewhere new to land.

That's the PLAY arc. Four distinct stops, not one big warm-up before "the real work." Each phase is the real work.

The Monthly Gathering is where you get to practice all four, first Thursday of every month, 8 to 9am, with people who aren't asking anything of you.

So much Polyvagal PLAYing these days! Loving my new offering in this work!

It's open!

The Polyvagal PLAY Monthly Gathering is a standing practice space for the people who regulate everyone else's nervous system for a living. Your students. Your clients. Your kids. The people who call you when things fall apart.

No teaching required of you here. No performing. Just Pause, Listen, Activate, and Yield, the first Thursday of every month from 8 to 9am, in a zoom built to hold you the way you hold everyone else.

Sliding scale, $25 or $50 a month, both full price. Choose whichever fits your life right now.

Quick question: if you're the person everyone else leans on to stay calm (parent, caregiver, teacher, therapist, doesn't matter which), I want to build something for you.

I'm putting together a monthly Polyvagal PLAY Gathering. Think of it as a standing appointment for your own nervous system. We'll pause, move, laugh, and practice the kind of felt safety that usually only shows up for other people in your life.

Before I set the day, time, and price, I need to hear from you. The waitlist is short (two minutes, promise) and it covers what schedule works, what price feels fair on a sliding scale, and whether you'd ever want to bring this into your workplace.

Fill it out here: https://forms.gle/UHo62G2cRR6GmDbP9

And if you know someone who gives everything they've got to everyone else, tag them. This one's for them too.

Globe trottin' this week! Looking forward to sharing Polyvagal PLAY with educators across Ohio at the 2026 School Success Conference today!

We'll be engaging teachers, counselors, social workers, and school administrators in tending to their own nervous systems, not as an afterthought, as the priority.

This won't be another conversation about self-care. It will be an actual embodied experience, grounded in polyvagal theory, that gives your nervous system something to work with. Rhythm, movement, voice, relational play.

An experience your body responds to before your brain has a chance to overthink it.

When adults regulate, children thrive.

Let's do this!

What an amazing crew at the National APSE Conference! I had the four to five p.m. slot, but no one fell asleep ;-) I’m very passionate about helping people shift their lens one conviction at a time and grateful for the folks who leaned into the session! Everyone at this conference does such amazing work, and I am honored to be a part of it!

I arrived last night in Dallas, TX for the Association of People Supporting Employment First (APSE) National Conference!

I'm speaking this afternoon on something I think about constantly in this work: Regulation comes before Readiness.

The people we support in employment settings are bringing their whole nervous systems into every new workplace, every new routine, every new relationship. So are the people supporting them.

Today I'll be sharing my 5 Core Convictions that shape how I see this work. They're not complicated. They are, however, the kind of thing that have the ability to change everything once we begin looking through them as a lens.

Trauma is stored in the body. Regulation is a practice. Perceived threat and real threat feel the same in the body. Trauma symptoms are survival strategies. Healing happens in relationship.

Through that lens, the no-call no-show reads differently. So does the shutdown mid-task, or the "I don't care" from someone you know absolutely does.

Everyone deserves fair pay and a workplace where they actually belong. Getting there means paying attention to what nervous systems are doing along the way.

See you this afternoon!

Polyvagal PLAY is a methodology that eases us into the play state! It’s also a practice. Overtime, we will build the muscles to keep coming back home to ourselves in safe and predictable ways. Looking forward to being with folks in The Music Yard every Wednesday to be in our bodies and in community!
