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
No prior experience is required.
While many individuals move through the course independently, others choose to pair this educational foundation with coaching support.
Personalized guidance allows us to tailor the protocol to your nervous system, interpret responses, and help you progress through the stages with greater clarity and confidence.
Many clients find the course provides an excellent foundation, while coaching offers deeper personalization when desired.
Schedule Professional Guidance:

When working with the nervous system, how you begin often shapes the trajectory that follows.
A clear framework can help you:
Reduce trial-and-error
Understand your body’s responses
Make more confident decisions
Establish a steadier 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.
My goal in creating this course was to offer the kind of educational clarity many individuals wish they had at the beginning of their recovery.
While education alone does not replace individualized care, understanding the nervous system can profoundly change how you approach healing.
You deserve a roadmap — not guesswork.
This course provides the clinical foundation many individuals wish they had at the beginning of recovery.
