The People
We Keep

Your nervous system is being shaped right now by the people closest to you. This session is about learning to see who is helping that system heal — and who isn't.

You get to choose
whose field you live in.

You spent years in proximity to dysregulation you didn't choose. That's changing. The people you keep are not just emotional choices — they are biological ones. Every hour near a regulated nervous system is an hour of repair.

Your body check-in — use it anytime
  • After time with someone — or before seeing them — scan your jaw. Tighter or looser?
  • Notice your breathing. Shallower or fuller than before?
  • Ask: do I feel more like myself right now, or less?
  • The body knows before the mind catches up. Trust what you notice.
