Designed for highly responsive nervous systems that benefit from a more gradual, precise introduction to stimulation.
Some nervous systems respond best when support is introduced thoughtfully and incrementally. The Sensitive Start Kit was created for individuals who prefer — or require — a more controlled starting point as they begin regulating the nervous system and supporting recovery.
This kit features a unit programmed with lower initial settings and a one-minute starting duration, allowing you to introduce stimulation gently while observing your body’s responses. The ability to make smaller intensity adjustments helps minimize the risk of overstimulation while building tolerance over time.
This more measured approach aligns with the principles of The Conrad Protocol™, where listening to the nervous system and respecting its feedback is foundational to sustainable healing.
Many clients choose this option for the added precision it provides during the early stages of regulation.
Your kit includes lifetime access to my comprehensive clinical video course, designed to help you begin vagus nerve stimulation with a clear and structured approach.
Inside the course, you’ll be guided through:
Proper device setup
How vagus nerve stimulation supports nervous system regulation
The three stages of The Conrad Protocol™, explained in detail
How to use the Polyvagal Chart to better understand and assess your nervous system state
How to thoughtfully apply stimulation within the context of regulation
This course provides the educational foundation many clients need to begin safely and confidently at home while understanding the larger recovery framework.
While the course offers a strong starting point, many clients choose to schedule a coaching session as they begin this work. Personalized guidance allows us to tailor the protocol to your nervous system, refine your approach, and help you move through the stages with greater clarity and confidence.
Many clients choose to begin with professional guidance to establish a clear and supportive foundation. Additional sessions can then be used to refine your approach and support continued progress as your nervous system evolves.
Most clients find that pairing the kit with professional guidance creates a more personalized and supportive starting point.
If you choose to schedule your first coaching session at the time of your kit purchase, a preferred client rate is available. Many clients appreciate arranging this support in advance so they can begin with clarity and avoid unnecessary trial-and-error.

VNS activates the body’s parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) response, helping regulate:
Heart rate and blood pressure
Mood and stress resilience
Digestion and gut health
Immune and inflammatory response
