Lets talk about dysregulation...

Ever feel like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive or shutdown?

That’s dysregulation.

It’s when stress, anxiety, or overwhelm push you outside your "window of tolerance” leaving you wired, anxious, angry, foggy, or numb.

What causes it

- Lack of sleep, blood sugar swings, chronic stress
- Past trauma or ongoing anxiety
- Sensory overload, caffeine, hormones
- Basically when your body thinks it’s unsafe, even if it isn’t.

That’s dysregulation.

How to manage it ....

Body first, brain second: When dysregulated, thinking won’t help.

*Hyperarousal (anxious/wired)
*Hypoarousal (numb/shutdown):


This is where massage comes in with co-regulation a calm nervous system helps regulate yours. This is science, not woo woo.
It happens when your nervous system gets stuck in stress mode. Sleep, breathwork, and movement help. So does massage. 💆‍♀️

Massage = nervous system reset.

It lowers stress hormones, activates rest & digest and helps your body remember what calm feels like.

You can’t always avoid triggers. But you can train your nervous system to recover faster. Massage is one tool that works with your biology, not against it.

You can’t think your way out of dysregulation. Sometimes your body needs to feel safe first. Touch can reset your nervous system.

Unbothered starts in the body.💆‍♀️

Ready to give your nervous system a break?

Bookings open this week...:)

Let's talk about stress....

Chronic stress (prolonged stress) can have a profound impact on the body, triggering a constant 'fight or flight' response that can lead to further health issues ......

It's like your body's stuck in emergency mode, wearing down your resilience over time.

Regular stress management techniques, like exercise, mindfulness, or regular massage therapy, can help reduce these effects and promote overall wellbeing.

Sound familiar......racing heart, tight muscles,
mind on high alert.....

Or how about the slow burn low-level constant stress that's sneaky, wearing you down over time.

It's like having a background app draining your battery – you might not notice it, but it's impacting your energy, mood, and overall wellbeing.

Symptoms can include fatigue, irritability, and decreased productivity.

Constant stress is creating a mix of cortisol and adrenaline, impacting not only heart health and your mental wellbeing....

Regular Massage therapy can help combat stress by reducing cortisol levels, easing muscle tension and promoting relaxation.

It's like hitting the reset button on your nervous system 🙌 or what i like to say "having an attitude adjustment"

Have you tried massage therapy before now to combat your adrenal fatigue? Do we need anymore excuses to book you in for your next treatment :)

My dear friend Whitedove Shekinah is hosting a Sophia code circle in Napier Starting in April. I myself have attended two circles and have experienced profound insights and shifts. Such a lovely and supportive way to connect.

Have a read and see if this resonates 💕

Kia ora dear friends,
It is with great joy that I am able to invite you on a journey with a circle of like -minded friends, to deepen your relationship with your own Higher Self and to mentor with the Divine Feminine Ascended Masters in the Sophia Code cosmology.

Have you heard of or read “THE SOPHIA CODE” a sacred text channeled from the Feminine Ascended Masters
through Kaia Ra?

As many of you know I have been working with and sharing the Teachings of the Ascended Masters all my life, as a healer, teacher and channel for Grandfather White Eagle. Years ago Grandfather said in a workshop "We the Masters are stepping back for the Feminine Masters to bring the Teachings in a new way for Humanity"

When I received The Sophia Code in 2018 , held it, felt a charge go through my body and began to read it, I knew these were the Divine Feminine Pure Teachings of the Christ lineage, he had referred to.

Thus began my inner journey this past 7 years with this sacred codex and a year training to become a certified leader in The Sophia Mystery School so that I can authentically share these teachings, that continue to inspire me, with you.

The first circles at my home began three years ago and were the first Sophia Circles in Aotearoa, New Zealand. so wonderful...

We have several people continuing the journey for their second, third and even fourth Sophia Circle! Thank you dear friends.

I have a few Sophia Code books available for sale.You can find it on Amazon NZ, in paperback."The Sophia Code"A living transmission from "The Sophia Dragon Tribe" by Kaia Ra. It is also on audible to listen to and you can look up the Sophia Code App. and website https://thesophiacodefoundation.org/

So are you feeling curious?

To find out more and feel into whether a Sophia Circle Journey is for you at this time in your life, Please email me on [email protected]
Txt or call 0276819143
Arohanui, My love to you, Whitedove.
