If your nervous system has become stuck in patterns of threat or dysregulation, knowing where — and how — to begin can feel overwhelming.
This course was created to provide a clear, clinically grounded starting point for individuals seeking to support regulation, improve physiological safety, and move toward sustainable recovery.
Rather than offering disconnected techniques, The Conrad Protocol™ Foundations walks you through a structured framework designed to help you understand your nervous system and apply vagus nerve stimulation thoughtfully and effectively.
This is the same educational foundation I use to guide clients in practice — now available in a format you can move through at your own pace.
You will be guided through:
How vagus nerve stimulation supports nervous system regulation
Proper device setup
The three stages of The Conrad Protocol™, explained in depth
How to use the Polyvagal Chart to assess your nervous system state
How to apply stimulation within the context of regulation
How this work fits into a broader recovery framework
Each lesson is designed to build upon the last, creating clarity and reducing the uncertainty that often accompanies nervous system healing.
This course is appropriate for individuals who:
Are navigating Long Covid, ME/CFS, or nervous system dysregulation
Want a structured starting point
Feel overwhelmed by conflicting recovery information
Prefer a thoughtful, physiology-informed approach
Are preparing to begin vagus nerve stimulation
While many individuals move through the course independently, others choose to pair this educational foundation with personalized coaching support.
Coaching allows for individualized pacing guidance, nervous system interpretation, protocol refinement, and implementation support tailored to your unique presentation and recovery process.
Support options include both single-session guidance and higher-touch ongoing coaching.
Schedule Professional Guidance:
• 30-Minute Professional Setup Session
• 60-Minute Professional Setup Session
Preferred client rates are available when booked alongside your course or kit.
When working with the nervous system, how you begin often shapes the trajectory that follows.
A clear framework can help you:
• Better understand your nervous system responses
• Reduce overwhelm and trial-and-error
• Implement stimulation more thoughtfully and gradually
• Develop greater confidence in navigating recovery
• Create a steadier and more sustainable path forward
This course is designed to provide that structure.
You will receive lifetime access to the course materials, allowing you to revisit the framework as your capacity evolves.
Many clients find that concepts deepen with repetition as regulation improves.
I created this course to provide the kind of structured nervous system education and recovery framework many individuals wish they had earlier in their healing journey.
Understanding the nervous system can profoundly change how we interpret symptoms, approach recovery, and respond to the body with greater clarity and less fear.
My hope is that this course helps individuals feel more empowered, informed, and supported as they navigate nervous system healing and recovery.
