The Nervous System Integration Facilitator Certification Program
The certification program that will transform YOUR life in profound and lasting ways AND give you the science-based framework to finally STOP DABBLING in nervous system work and start supporting deeper change in your clients, teams, and business.
Talk to Chantill + Anne to explore how the NSIF Program can impact your life + your career.
When your clients meet your effective, research-based strategies with resistance, drag their feet, procrastinate on their homework, and then don’t get the results they are looking for…
…it can feel disheartening, frustrating, and defeating.
But here’s the thing: it’s actually not their fault.
When your clients struggle to change their habits or reach their goals, it’s not because they lack motivation or they’re “not coachable.” (Although this is often how we make sense of their resistance or inability to change.)
It’s because their nervous systems are dysregulated and change is impossible in that state.
And, although you might dabble in nervous system work, the truth is you likely don't have a tested and clear framework to follow to effectively apply...
nervous system facilitation skills that change behavior.
Whether your clients hire you because they want to…
-
Heal their back pain
-
Declutter their basement
-
Perform better in meetings
-
Get their finances under control
-
Improve their nutrition or
-
Navigate change and transition
...when you know how to help them regulate their own nervous systems IN THE FACE of these old patterns, you can help them move through their resistance, negative stories, and procrastination, and actually USE the valuable tools and strategies you’re teaching them.
And that's EXACTLY what we'll train you how to do in...
The Nervous System Integration Facilitator Certification Program!
What Sets This Program Apart
One: Excellence + Efficacy
Our goal is to bring into practice a codified approach to facilitating NS work that is accessible, locally and globally impactful, contextually versatile, and can be easily built upon or adapted to varied personal, professional, and clinical environments.
This program will cultivate facilitators who are comprehensively trained in the science and most recent theories of the Autonomic Nervous System and Polyvagal Theory, have undergone extensive practical application and have a system to follow that will set the precedent for others.
Two: Processes + Outcomes
This program carves a path for the emerging work of nervous system facilitation in a high-level community that values discourse, inquiry, feedback, exploration and challenging common assumptions.
This community is made up of individuals who are comfortable with not having all the answers AND who are dedicated to FINDING them through collaboration and problem-solving.
Over the course of this research-based + whole-person oriented Certification program, you’ll learn How to:
-
Listen to, understand, and interpret your unique nervous system responses and build a compassionate and powerful relationship with your physiology that can and will reduce stress, support emotional stability, increase your capacity for handling complexity and expand joy

-

Real Life Impact
Tami Lysher
Studio T Pilates
Tami is a highly accomplished educator who specializes in early childhood development and education, the impacts of trauma, and trauma-informed movement practices.
When she joined The Nervous System Integration Facilitator Certification Program, Tami was preparing to build a 10-week course on trauma-informed movement for yoga and Pilates teachers. She wanted to fill a gap in her curriculum and better support teachers in working with their clients’ trauma within their scope of practice as movement teachers.
We are so proud of the curriculum that Tami created!
Within the curriculum, she teaches movement teachers how to use nervous system work to help their clients regulate before and while they engage in movement that might feel challenging or triggering, so that they can get better and longer-lasting results.
Tabitha Green
Tall Tree Pilates
After studying the nervous system work with us, Tabitha now incorporates it to help folks living with chronic illness ease pain, get more active, and live fulfilling lives.
She integrates nervous system education with her skills as a movement teacher to help her clients develop movement practices that build strength while avoiding a push-crash cycle.
Tabitha teaches online, and offers a 21-Day Gentle Start Workout Challenge and a 12-Week Gentle Movement Program, and she’s working on a Gentle Lifestyle Membership which will launch in 2024.
Alicia Gyetvai
PilatesBodies Santa Fe
Alicia added a new offering to her Pilates business after working with us: Persistent Pain Education.
As a studio owner and Pilates teacher, Alicia has supported her clients in reducing pain for a long time.
But because nervous system dysregulation has been found to exacerbate many chronic neuroplastic conditions including back pain, neck pain, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), migraines, fibromyalgia and more, she knew she needed to study the nervous system to expand her work.
Now, Alicia combines her nervous system facilitation skills, and her chronic pain education with her biomechanical work as a movement teacher to support her clients in reducing or ending persistent pain.

"Doing the NSIF program has been life-changing for me, both personally and in my relationships. Before diving into this journey, I never fully grasped the profound impact our nervous system has on our interactions and well-being.
One of the most profound realizations has been the recognition of the interplay between my emotions, physical sensations, and nervous system state. I've learned to tune in more deeply to the subtle cues and signals my body sends, a level of awareness I never thought possible.
By shifting my own nervous system state, I've created an environment conducive to mutual understanding and growth. My interactions with others, including my clients, are now infused with a deeper sense of empathy, compassion, and connection, fostering a stronger bond between us.
I'm eager to facilitate and guide individuals in cultivating a similar awareness and compassion within themselves, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience, authenticity, and grace.

“The REALITY was, every cell in my body needed the nervous system work, craved it, rejoiced in it, demanded it. That was the big surprise.
I did not realize how much I needed it. Not as a gift to give to others, but for my own health.
Being in a safe container with Anne and Chantill enabled me to melt into the work.
To feel successful AND unsuccessful and be safe in that duality of being curious and investigating within myself."
