Tap Into Your
Nervous System Potential
A Breath Science and Body-Oriented
Coaching program
This program helps fast-moving professionals build resilience and manage stress through science-based breathing and body awareness techniques.Unlike other programs that tell you to either push harder or work less, this program combines a variety of practical techniques with in-depth physiological understanding—so you can finally access your nervous system's fullest potential.
Does this sound like you?
↪️ Do you project a successful exterior while privately battling energy crashes, anxiety, and depleted focus—knowing there must be a better way to work?
↪️ Are you afraid that taking care of yourself means falling behind?
↪️ Are you frustrated by knowing exactly what you should do to manage your stress and energy, but still finding yourself reverting to old patterns the moment things get challenging?
Most highly ambitious professionals
have the same problem:They're working against,
rather than with their nervous system.
Those racing thoughts, that lack of focus, the dreaded afternoon energy crash...They're not just in your head. They're physical experiences rooted in your nervous system.Think about it:Your nervous system shapes every moment of your day—from how you handle that stressful meeting to whether you can actually relax when you finally sit down at night.But we were never taught how to effectively manage our nervous system.The result? You're stuck using mind-over-matter approaches that barely scratch the surface, while your body's natural resilience remains locked away.Now imagine something different:What if you could tap into your nervous system's innate activation and relaxation mechanisms?What if you could use your breath to shift from stressed to focused, or wired to calm, almost on command?This isn't some far-fetched promise.It's simple biology.Your body holds sophisticated self-regulation tools that have evolved over millennia.These aren't mystical secrets. This has nothing to do with spirituality. These are practical, proven methods backed by cutting-edge modern research.
In this program, you'll master a powerful trinity:• Foundational Breathing
• Nervous System Regulation
• Embodied Self-Awareness

No more band-aid solutions (supplements!) or temporary fixes without understanding the effect on your nervous system (ice baths!).Just you, investing the time and energy to reconnect with your body's innate intelligence.
3 reasons why most professionals
feel so overwhelmed and disconnected
1️⃣ Lack of understanding of, and connection, to the nervous system
Life's got you moving so fast, you've lost touch with your body's natural signals. Like having a high performance car but only using the gas pedal, you're missing out on the hardwired tools your nervous system holds—and the Calm and Headspace apps alone aren't bridging the gap.
2️⃣ Dysfunctional breathing patterns and lack of movement
Between your desk-bound lifestyle and chronic stress, your breathing's gone rogue. You're operating on shallow breaths and tension patterns that keep you wired but tired. The worst part is that this invisible pattern is affecting everything from your focus to your sleep quality.
3️⃣ Lack of nervous system regulation tools, always reaching for external “solutions”
When stress hits, you find yourself reaching for the usual suspects—another coffee, an extra glass of wine, or just one more scroll through social media. You know there's a better way to feel energized and calm, but finding that path feels just out of reach.
When you finally learn how to tap into your
Full Nervous System Potential
↪️ Calm, focused and in control
You know that feeling—racing thoughts during a big presentation, scattered focus when you need it most, energy crashes right before crucial meetings. It's not your fault. Your nervous system is simply doing what it knows.But here's the good news: you can learn to work with it, not against it.Together, we'll build your personal toolkit of science-backed breathing and body-based techniques. No complex protocols, just practical tools you can use anywhere, anytime. Think of it as becoming the CEO of your internal state—calm, focused, and in control.
↪️ Emotions become information
Stress and anxiety aren't going anywhere—and we wouldn't want them to either! They're valuable signals from our brain and body.But what if you could transform them from your biggest obstacles into your secret weapons? That's exactly what we'll do.You'll discover how to channel your body's natural stress response into enhanced performance, razor-sharp focus, and better decision-making.No more fighting against your physiology or pushing through until you crash. Instead, you'll learn the rhythm of peak performance—when to push forward and when to strategically recover. It's about working smarter, not harder, with your body's natural cycles.
↪️ Easily shift gears, up and down
You don't have to choose between crushing it at work and being present in your personal life. Through targeted nervous system techniques, you'll develop the ability to shift gears when you need to. Both up and down, depending on what the situation requires.Imagine leaving work at work, sleeping deeply through the night, and showing up fully for the people who matter most. Success shouldn't come at the cost of your relationships or wellbeing—and with the right tools, it won't have to.
The
The Nervous System Potential
Framework

In this coaching program, we focus on three core pillars:Pillar 1: Foundational BreathingMaster the basics your body was built for.Your breath is the foundation of your nervous system, your energy, and your focus. Yet most people are over-breathing without even realizing it—mouth breathing, shallow chest breathing, fast, erratic rhythms that quietly tax your system.This pillar is about retraining your breath as your most reliable tool for stability and resilience.We don’t jump into advanced techniques. We rebuild from the ground up—restoring natural, functional breathing so your body feels safe, steady, and supported. Breath becomes your anchor.What you'll learn:• Breath awareness training
• Functional breathing fundamentals (nasal, gentle, slow, expansive)
• Resonance breathing to support HRV and nervous system balanceHow life changes:• Deeper, more restorative sleep
• A steadier stream of energy and focus throughout your day
• Increased capacity to self-regulate in real timeThis isn’t about doing more. It’s about building the foundation everything else depends on.
Pillar 2: Nervous System RegulationThis is about learning to understand, track, and intentionally shift your internal state—so you’re no longer reactive, scattered, or stuck.Most people spend their days bouncing between overwhelm and shutdown. With the right tools and awareness, you can start shifting from reactive to responsive. From anxious to focused. From wired to calm.What you’ll learn:Step 1: State observation – Build awareness without judgmentStep 2: State recognition – Learn your nervous system’s unique patterns using frameworks like Polyvagal Theory and Window of ToleranceStep 3: State shifting – Use breath, movement, vision, sound, and environment to shift gears on commandHow life changes:• Greater emotional resilience and agility• Faster recovery from stress or overwhelm• The ability to hold intensity without collapse, numbing, or panicWhen you can shift your state, you can shift your life.
Pillar 3: Embodied Self-AwarenessFeel more. Think less.Most people live in “conceptual self-awareness”—they can talk about what they feel, but they’re not actually feeling it. They analyze emotions instead of sensing them. This pillar is about reconnecting to your body as a source of clarity, guidance, and truth.Embodied awareness gives you access to your intuition, your nervous system’s early warning signals, and your natural capacity to regulate. It teaches you how to notice subtle shifts, hold discomfort without panic, and make decisions that are grounded, not reactive.What you’ll develop:• Interoception and proprioception—feeling from the inside out• The ability to track sensation, emotion, and internal signals• Emotional presence without judgment or the need to fixHow life changes:• Greater confidence in your intuition and instincts• Deeper presence in work and relationships• More ease sitting with discomfort, uncertainty, or complexityYou can’t think your way into clarity. You have to feel your way there.

👋 Hey, I'm Charlotte.

My journey began in the (sounds-more-glamorous-than-it-is) world of global advertising, where I spent 13 years sprinting between Brussels, New York, Singapore, and London.Like many, I was living entirely in my head—constantly thinking, planning, and worrying. Despite outward success, I felt disconnected, anxious, and unable to consistently rely on myself.I first discovered breathwork during a freediving course. From the first session, I was hooked by the calming effect on the volume and intensity of my thoughts. I vividly remember walking home that day and thinking: “Really?? All this time, something so simple?!”That experience showed me something profound:The solution to better performance wasn't in my mind, but in my body.A (some might say slightly obsessive) period of breath science, nervous system regulation and neuroscience study followed.I worked with coaches, signed up for courses, overloaded my Kindle with books. The more I learned and explored, the more I realized this is what I want to spend all my time and energy on, and I left my full-time job.Today, from my base in sunny Lisbon, I help people discover their body's hidden nervous system features through the Nervous System Potential Coaching Program, and my newsletter Stretch.Here's why I'm so obsessed with this work:I now believe that most of us are operating our incredible human systems at default settings, unaware of the extraordinary capabilities within.Every experience we have—from creative breakthroughs to stress responses—happens through our nervous system. Yet most of us know more about our smartphone settings than this incredible biological machinery we're walking around with.When you learn to operate your system intentionally, everything shifts—emotions become information rather than overwhelming forces, stress transforms into a manageable response, and creativity flows naturally.We have all the tools we need built right into our bodies—we just need to learn how to use them.
