Nervous System Regulation Certifications

Neuroscience-Informed Pathways for Stress Recovery, Emotional Regulation & Sustainable Wellbeing

MindBodyBreakthrough’s Nervous System, Stress & Regulation Certifications focus on one of the most overlooked drivers of mental health challenges, burnout, and chronic distress: nervous system dysregulation.

These certifications are grounded in neuroscience, polyvagal theory, stress physiology, and trauma-informed practice, offering practical, accessible tools that help individuals and professionals move from survival mode to safety, stability, and regulation.

They are designed for:

individuals experiencing chronic stress, overwhelm, or burnout
therapists, coaches, and practitioners
healthcare, education, and frontline professionals
leaders and organisations seeking sustainable wellbeing solutions

These pathways are suitable for personal recovery, professional practice, and organisational wellbeing programmes.
