How to Cultivate Neuroplasticity & Inner Calm With Vagal Toning

With Clinical Psychologist, Author, Therapist Trainer &
Founder of Resilience Informed Therapy
Arielle Schwartz, PhD

Discover the path to healing chronic pain, complex trauma, and mental health issues by living fully in your body through the power of neuroplasticity.

Learn how you can cultivate your nervous system’s natural resilience through advanced vagal toning practices — for a life of profound inner transformation, physical healing, and emotional balance.

Unresolved trauma is an invisible force that can take over your life... often splintering inner peace when you least expect it. Healing that trauma is reclaiming your inherent wholeness — coming home to who you truly are.

According to renowned therapist and author Dr. Arielle Schwartz, PhD, the imprint of trauma runs deep. When we experience repeated or prolonged trauma, it reshapes our nervous system, keeping those who suffer from it stuck in some version of the classic trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, fawn, fine, and faint.

Perhaps you struggle with:

Anxiety, panic attacks, or dissociation
Depression, emptiness, or isolation
Sleep issues, chronic pain, or inflammation
Addictions, self-harm, or other destructive behaviors

When our nervous system gets triggered, the thalamus becomes overwhelmed, leading to a loss of connection between the thinking brain and the survival brain. We get trapped in traumatic loops — consequently detaching from the body and living in fear of the next trigger.

Unresolved complex trauma can rob you of your aliveness, passion, and purpose — blocking you from embodying your true wholeness.

The good news is that, with the right support, these patterns can change. The brain has an incredible capacity for neuroplasticity — the ability to create new neural pathways with consistent practice.

Join Arielle for a free online event, in which you’ll experience healing practices that tone the vagus nerve, which is essential for nervous system regulation. It works like a brake pedal, signaling to the body when it’s safe to relax out of fight-or-flight. Vagal tone is lowered in trauma, leading to dysregulation.

In this workshop, Arielle will guide you step-by-step in research-backed techniques designed to tone your vagus nerve and unlock your nervous system’s natural resilience.

In this hour, you’ll discover:

An easy breathwork exercise to hit pause and shift out of traumatic loops
Body sensing and tracking techniques to understand your triggers
A gentle movement practice to discharge fight/flight energy and come into the present
A preview of Dr. Schwartz’s groundbreaking advanced vagal toning, which addresses the consequences of trauma, C-PTSD, and dissociation
Renewed possibility for embodying your whole, integrated self

Dr. Schwartz is a leading pioneer in trauma therapy whose integrative approach blends neuroscience, somatic psychology, therapeutic yoga, parts work, and spiritual principles.

Her passion comes from her own healing journey. Having resolved her childhood trauma and chronic illnesses, she’s now dedicated to guiding others through a proven step-by-step process.

If you struggle with anxiety, dissociation, panic attacks, depression, chronic pain, self-harm, or feel stuck in post-traumatic stress, this event offers real hope and practical skills for recovery.

You’ll come away feeling empowered, centered, and ready to create new neural patterns, as you begin to trust your body wisdom and come home to your true wholeness.

During this event, you’ll also hear about how you can continue working with Arielle in her upcoming 12-week course. Each week, you’ll expand your self-care toolkit with vagal toning practices to call back your life force — so you can uplift your body, mind, and spirit. Along the way, you’ll open space for trust, inner peace, and the embodiment of your full potential.
