Free Community Event: Nervous System Self-Care with Kristen Toth​​​​​
​
Join the PVI community for this free self-care session led by Kristen Toth. Kristen is a somatic educator, coach, and SSP provider who helps people regulate their nervous system and cultivate embodied safety to heal from trauma and stress.
​
During this session, Kristen will invite and guide us in a practice of gentle somatic tools and embodied awareness that supports nervous system regulation and resilience from the body up—not to bypass what’s difficult, but to support ourselves in being more present and connected so we can feel capable of handling whatever life is asking us to hold. You’ll be encouraged to follow your body’s own wisdom about what feels right, and supported in approaching this type of self-care with radical respect for your own nervous system, exactly as it is.
​
Our free Community Event Series is a chance to come together around topics, experiences and research of interest. Please register to attend at the link below; registration ensures that you will receive a copy of the event recording if you are unable to join us live.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
