Featuring Barbara Collier, LPC: presenting Your Nervous System Isn’t Broken — It’s Brilliantly Loyal
Are you struggling with any of these symptoms?
· Chronic stress
· Anxiety
· Unhealed trauma
· Depression
· Chronic pain
· Sleep issues
· Digestive upset
· Chronic illness
If you're nodding along, please know you are so, so far from being alone in this.
And more than likely, your nervous system is out of whack.
The scary thing is, when your nervous system is dysregulated, it could quietly be contributing to your emotional & physical health challenges …
Even if you don’t realize it.
But here’s the best part: it’s never too late to heal your nervous system, calm your body, and free your mind!
I want to share an opportunity for you to join me for a FREE, AVAIYA University online series that our Instructor, Barbara, is participating in. It’s all about uncovering the hidden impacts of a dysregulated nervous system and helping you apply mind-body practices to feel better.
It's called The Healing Your Nervous System Summit
This online series is brought to you by iKE ALLEN & Ande Anderson, Co-Owners of AVAIYA University (creators & teachers of transformational courses, books, films and online events such as The Somatic Healing Super Summit, Overcoming Anxiety & Depression, Overcoming Insecurity & Low Self-Esteem, and many more).
Here’s just some of what you’ll learn from over 30 somatic practitioners, trauma experts, respected psychologists, best-selling authors & more:
Creating Your Nervous System Regulation Toolkit: Explore modalities like Breathwork, Therapeutic Yoga, Neuroscience, Resourcing, Embodiment, Diet, EFT Tapping & more on your healing journey.

The Power of Self-Awareness & Curiosity: Learn to reduce emotional triggers, hypervigilance, and feelings of overwhelm by returning to the present moment.
Your Nervous System Isn’t Broken — It’s Brilliantly Loyal: How to utilize consciousness to guide your body and mind back into balance & the power of seeing your symptoms as "messengers".
What To Do When You Can't Feel Your Body: Explore mindful practices to slowly, compassionately, reconnect with your body after trauma and dissociation.

Online Workshop Series - Rewiring Pain: The Neuroscience of Trauma, Stress, and the Power of Play w/ Barbara Collier + more
Join occupational therapist Camille France, MD Bennet Davis, and LPC Barbara Collier for a dynamic 3-part series exploring persistent pain through a somatic and trauma-informed lens. Designed for clinicians, therapists, and curious individuals, each 90-minute session blends science, story, and embodied practice to illuminate pain as more than a physical symptom — but a nervous system response shaped by lived experience.
Session 1 unpacks the neuroscience of pain beyond tissue damage, exploring neuroplasticity, immune responses, and threat physiology.
Session 2 dives into how trauma, early adversity, and chronic stress influence pain pathways and healing capacity.
Session 3 brings it full circle — highlighting the healing potential of joy, novelty, and play as powerful modulators of chronic pain.
Discover how attunement, curiosity, and creativity can rewire the pain experience — and walk away with tools to support deeper integration in yourself and your clients.
