Eight Weeks Toward the Healing State
An Eight-Week Program, Offered Through The Healing State Community
A deepening of the Integrative Healing State Protocol
for people living with chronic and invisible illness.
You don’t have to wait until you’re well to begin healing.
If you are living with chronic, invisible illness: long COVID, ME/CFS, autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, MCAS, EDS, chronic Lyme, autonomic nervous system dysregulation, cancer, or any persistent health challenge, you already know what it is to feel trapped in a body that isn't cooperating. The exhaustion that goes far beyond tired. The isolation of an experience most people can't understand.
The Integrative Healing State Protocol offers various pathways into the nervous system's own capacity for restoration, even while the body is still healing.
The four pathways: Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, Memory Reconsolidation, and Transpersonal & Higher States are at the heart of this program. If you attended Finding Your Healing State, the three-week introduction, this eight-week program offers a deepening and expanding of each one. If you did not attend that initial group, you'll get the same deep dive, right from the start. Either way, you'll be invited into community and connection with others who have shared challenges, and never asked for more than you're able to give on any particular day.

What you will experience
Over the 60-minute live session builds on the last, with room built in for small-group sharing alongside the teaching — not just at the end, but as part of the session itself.
Week One: Your Nervous System Is Not Broken
Polyvagal theory made accessible — what survival mode and threat response actually looks like, and why your body has understandably responded this way. You'll go into depth in the mapping and befriending of your own nervous system and we will expand on co-regulation as this is shared in community with others who understand.
Week Two: Meeting Your Parts
Internal Family Systems and the parts that exist in relation to our chronic illness. Meeting the parts holding the wounds of fear and grief, as well as the protectors that help us survive by managing and at times suppressing messages from the body — bringing compassion rather than force, witnessed in a small group, not only on your own.
Week Three: The Body Is on Your Side
Shifting from adversary to ally. Learning to listen rather than fight, with somatic awareness practices built for chronic illness realities, not general wellness. Building on the bidirectional communication pathway between mind and body.
Week Four: The Trauma of Illness
How chronic illness and medical systems dysregulate the nervous system, and how to begin working with those specific imprints — including the ones left by not being believed. Bringing dual awareness and principles of memory reconsolidation to the practice.
Week Five: Releasing What Is Locked
Rhythm and movement as an unwinding, with an introduction to 5 Rhythms through the lens of the nervous system and parts — accessible practices for every energy level, always with a smaller version available.
Week Seven: Healing With Higher Consciousness
Incorporating spirituality and the awe of nature as we invite an expanded state and interconnectedness of all things. Looking at gentle ways to invite a shift in the default mode network.
Week Six: Healing on a Cellular Level
Exploring the Cell Danger Response, and how the healing qualities of safety, regulation, and Self energy can be invited all the way down to the mitochondria. Acknowledging how our nervous system and immune system can talk the same language.
Week Eight: Sustaining the Healing State
Defining daily sips of safety and tapping into expanded states, to keep coming home to this healing state moving forward — and closing, together, as a group that's been through eight weeks side by side. How to keep the group alive with coregulation of community and integration of healing pathways.
Each Session Includes
A brief nervous system check-in and somatic settling to begin
Education on the session’s focus, made accessible and clinically grounded
A guided experiential practice, adaptable to any energy level
Group sharing and integration
A closing regulation practice so you leave settled, not activated
Camera on or off, lying down, fully present or quietly in the background you are welcome exactly as you are. Session replays are available. A private community space supports connection between sessions.
This Is For You If…
● You took Finding Your Healing State and you want a deepening and expanding with each pathway, not just an overview
● You are living with chronic, invisible illness and are ready for a sustained, weekly practice to introduce avenues for healing
● You want somatic, nervous-system-based support that is rooted in an evidence base, but have challenges in accessing this
● You want to be part of an ongoing group of people who understand — not just attend alongside them
● You are ready to be witnessed by a small group, not only to observe
This Is Not For You If…
● You are currently in a mental health crisis and need individual clinical support as this is not therapy
● You are looking for medical diagnosis or treatment advice
● You want a support group focused on your illness rather than your healing state
● An eight-week weekly commitment isn't realistic for you right now — the 3-week intro or the free 7-day Sending Safety practice may be a gentler place to start
You don’t have to wait until you’re well.
You don’t have to have it together to begin.
All parts of you are welcome here exactly as they are.
You don't have to do this alone.
