Befriending Your

Nervous System

A 6 Week Journey to Nervous System Regulation and Embodied Living

What if you had the capacity to get back into the drivers seat of your life?

Imagine…

Waking up rested and calm, instead of already on edge.

Walking into a hard conversation and staying grounded, not shutting down or lashing out.

Saying no without guilt because your body no longer sees boundaries as a threat.

Imagine feeling safe enough to laugh with friends, fully present, without scanning for what might go wrong.

This isn’t just about feeling calm—it’s about changing how you move through your whole life.

When your nervous system learns safety, you stop bracing for impact and start living like it’s safe to be here.

I know what it feels like to live life entirely in your head…

Constantly analysing, worrying, and trying to outthink stress.

For years, I thought something was wrong with me.

I pushed through, stayed busy, tried every mindset trick in the book, yet still ended up burned out, anxious, and disconnected from my body.

Everything changed when I discovered my nervous system.

I realised my racing thoughts and shutdown moments weren’t flaws. They were my body’s way of protecting me.

When I began to work with my nervous system instead of against it, learning to listen, regulate, and create safety—everything shifted.

I felt calmer. Clearer. More at home in myself.

That journey inspired me to create Befriending Your Nervous System so you don’t have to spend years piecing it together like I did.

This course is the roadmap I wish I had when I was stuck in overthinking and under-feeling.

  • To wake up with ease. There’s space between your first breath and your first thought, and your body feels grounded instead of braced.

  • To move through life with choice, not fear. Conversations feel manageable, you can pause before responding, and boundaries feel natural, not dangerous.

  • Your body to feel like home. Shoulders soften, your breath deepens, and there’s a sense of safety in your own skin.

  • Sleep to come easily and stay. Your mind is quiet enough to rest, and you wake refreshed rather than depleted.

  • To experience real connection. Laughter with friends feels effortless, intimacy feels safe, and creativity flows because you’re no longer scanning for threats.

  • Have a life that feels spacious. There’s energy to enjoy the little things, to dream, and to be present in your relationships and with yourself.

You want…

  • You wake up already tense. Your jaw aches from clenching in your sleep, and there’s a pit in your stomach before the day even begins.

  • You live in survival mode. Every request feels like an attack, and every decision feels urgent and overwhelming.

  • You react without thinking. Snapping at your partner for small things, shutting down in conversations that matter, saying “yes” when you’re screaming “no” inside.

  • Your body never switches off. Shoulders locked, shallow breathing, a tight chest like you’re bracing for impact all day long.

  • Sleep is broken and restless. You wake up at 3 a.m. replaying conversations or planning for worst-case scenarios.

  • Even joy feels out of reach. Time with friends, moments of intimacy, creative sparks, blurred by constant undercurrent of stress and worry.

But currently…

Introducing
Befriending Your Nervous System

Befriending Your Nervous System is a six-week hybrid experience blending trauma-informed psychotherapy with somatic embodiment practices designed to help you feel safe, grounded, and deeply connected to yourself.

This isn’t about mindset hacks or quick fixes. It’s about learning to work with your body rather than against it, so your nervous system becomes an ally instead of an obstacle. You’ll learn how to understand your body and mind so they feel like friends to collaborate with, rather than enemies to manage.

In this program, you will:

  • Discover why your nervous system works the way it does and why feeling stuck is never your fault.

  • Learn practical, science-backed tools to regulate your emotions and body states in real time.

  • Stop overthinking and step into a life worth being alive for, with safe, gentle embodiment practices that help you feel at home in yourself again.

  • Create your own Embodied Living Roadmap so your healing continues long after the course ends.

Walk away not just with insight but with embodied skills, a deeper trust in yourself, a regulated nervous system, and a life that feels worth living.

  1. Pre-recorded video modules you can move through at your own pace designed to simplify nervous system science and give you practical tools you can start using immediately.

  2. Weekly embodiment practices that move you from simply knowing the concepts to feeling them in your body so change becomes second nature, not just head knowledge.

  3. Live weekly Q&A calls where you can bring your questions, receive personalised support, and deepen your understanding in real time.

  4. Weekly reflection and journaling prompts to help you integrate your insights, track your growth, and connect more deeply with yourself.

  5. A supportive online community to share your journey, celebrate your wins, and feel supported by others walking the same path.

Your Roadmap HOME

Outline of the Course

  • In our first week together, you’ll discover how your nervous system works like an inner compass, constantly scanning for safety and danger. We’ll simplify complex science—regulation, dysregulation, and the “special ops team” of your nervous system—so you can finally understand why your body reacts the way it does. This week, you’ll build your baseline awareness: what state you spend most of your time in, and why your body chooses it.

  • This week is about translating what your body has been saying all along. Using Polyvagal theory as your guide, you’ll learn to map your states and recognise their subtle cues, so you can catch dysregulation early and begin to understand what support might look like. You’ll explore what safety feels like in your body and create your personalised “state map” to work with going forward.

  • This week, we’ll take a compassionate look at what pulls you out of balance—both inside your own mind and in your environment. You’ll identify your personal triggers and notice the habits and thought loops they create. We’ll explore how repeated patterns shape your daily experience and how to work gently with them using awareness and choice, laying the foundation for lasting change.

  • This week is all about practical support. You’ll learn and practice tools to calm your system when anxious, lift your energy when flat, and expand your overall capacity for resilience. These are simple, evidence-based techniques you can weave into daily life so regulation becomes less about “fixing” and more about steadying yourself with ease.

  • Our nervous systems don’t exist in isolation—they respond to others constantly. This week, you’ll discover how relationships impact your body’s sense of safety. You’ll explore co-regulation, boundaries, and how to create relationships that nourish rather than drain. Whether you live alone or are surrounded by people, you’ll learn how to feel more connected and supported.

  • This final week brings everything together. You’ll create your personalised Roadmap to Embodied Living—daily rituals, care strategies, and relational anchors designed for your unique life. You’ll celebrate how far you’ve come and leave with a clear plan to continue building safety, trust, and vitality in your body long after the course ends.

For six weeks of guided transformation, the entire course, live support, and community your investment is just $297.

That’s less than the cost of one therapy session per week for six weeks and the tools you’ll gain will stay with you for life.

The Investment

When you learn to listen to your body, you discover

it has been speaking love all along.

Meet Your Facilitator

Hi, I’m Rachel Pfeiffer.

For the past decade, I’ve been helping people reconnect with their bodies and emotions through yoga, psychotherapy, and nervous system education.

I hold a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and have been a yoga teacher for nearly a decade, blending science and somatic wisdom to support people on their path to healing.

I’ve run a full private practice with a waitlist, sold out workshops and retreats, and built a community of over 30,000+ followers on Instagram who are committed to emotional wellness and embodied living.

My approach is rooted in the belief that our nervous system shapes the way we experience life, and when we understand how to work with it, we unlock the ability to feel safe, grounded, and truly at home in ourselves.

Whether I’m guiding someone in a one-on-one session, leading a retreat, or teaching thousands online, my focus is the same: helping people live a life worth being present for.
