My self awareness grew from the workshop and I saw the possibilities on how to be more connected to the body and self in everyday life, in my movement practices and in working with others.
I enjoyed the experience, I loved how I was able to stay present in the body. Teaching was clear and grounded, and there was this vibe in the room that felt as if it was programmed for us to stay focused & safe. The work we did was simple but really effective. It’s also very useful for further personal use, and for the quality of the work I do with people. Havi...

SBSM taught me how incredibly important it is to stay connected to the body – not just emotionally, but also physically (I notice when I pay attention to my body I can avoid clumsiness and finely control my movements) and have became aware of how much trauma is still hiding in my body!
This program also has allowed me to deal with irrational stress in the smallest scenarios by enlarging my capacity. I am starting to become less irritable.
I would like to say a big thank you to the SBSM team who has created a SAFE and welcoming environment for me...

I really enjoyed the class. The work was very subtle but highly engaging with the after effects of increased physical presence, general relaxation and calmness being felt.
My NS did take the cues and released some “less desirable” sensations later in the day but I knew I was storing some unresolved trauma which is why I took the class. So all-in-all a win for my healing!

Dear Irene and Seth,
I wanted to express my gratitude to you both.
The changes I’ve experienced between July ’22 and now is incredible. I felt so helpless and thought I’d never come out of the activation that kept me up pacing most nights unable to get much sleep because I was unable to lay in bed; barely eating during the day and rarely able to sit still.
Fortunately I had completed some of the 21-Day Program and went back and committed to using those skills, but I knew I needed more and decided to take the plunge by signing up for SBSM. I’m s...

I didn’t know (if) I would learn anything new with he 21 Day course because I watched almost every YouTube video from Irene… But I’m so happy I did the program, it really goes beyond and deeper than her vlogs (even though they are grand as well). It took me 6 months to finish 21 days (I know!) and I think I might just start again. Because I want to re-learn what I’ve learned, let it sink in that tiny bit deeper… Thank you so much for The Work!

I am so relieved to find some well researched information that explains what is underlying my decades of failing health. I agree that education is key, and so am absorbing as much of the material as I can. It is so well explained, understanding that this is incredibly nuanced and complex material. So grateful to have found it. And looking forward to feeling connected to myself and the world again.
Deborah
The 21 Day course was a good basis for me to start with for a trauma-based therapy. I knew for some years (since I first heard about the polyvagal theory) that it would be THE THING for me, but somehow couldn’t make the connection. Now I know what it’s all about and what’s important to me in this therapy.
Of course, like many others here, I have a long history and am now full of hope that things will really change. Some small “enlightenments” already happened during the course. Finally I have words for those moments and I actually believe that these...

This is the course I didn’t realize I was looking for. Several years of trying a plethora of ‘healing’ modalities I didn’t realize what I needed was this course as a foundational basis to understand and judge those modalities as to whether they were correct for me. Whether you’re interested in doing this for the experience of the information to better understand the human state, I found it to be brilliant from both an informative and experiential place.

Although I have done more neurofeedback, bodywork and meditation practices than anyone I know, this 21-day tuneup program opened me to something even more fundamental: the ability to regulate my nervous system and clearing unconscious traumas and stress. As a result: other practices have improved and previously unresolved issues are clearing. It’s like a nervous system support team for 21 days, for the price of a few sessions in other modalities.
Simply awesome, thorough, detailed and the comments with feedback are like a book I can’t put down. W...

What is taught here about nervous system healing is likely why you’re stuck. Learn what you can do about it to become unstuck. Free yourself with this material.
Even if the only thing you learn is the Orienting…it’s worth it. But there’s far more to help support you on your healing journey. That’s what this course does better than any other I’ve encountered. It offers you all the support you need. And for people that have never had that? It makes all the difference.
This has to be one of the best online courses I’ve taken. You guys really thought of e...
Matt
So simple yet so profound. I only did the lessons once and feel I can do them at least a few more times before it will all be “in place”. The exercises are simple, but life changing, even already in the few weeks that I have done them. Things come up I didn’t even realize were there. Hard things, but also a new and deeper connection to myself. I love it. Thank you for putting it out there.
Inge
Irene’s teachings are incredibly useful to practice for myself, they are really helping me to get a good regulated nervous system. I like so much the emerging “updated me!”
Silja
“Loved it. Still cannot get over how powerful this work is. Blows my mind almost every time. For me, I find it is incredibly spiritual, a pathway to the self, and I always leave with a deeper connection to myself as consciousness. I’m no longer in my head. I remember who I am.”
John
“I absolutely loved the Drop In Class. I really appreciate you Irene, for creating this space and guiding us through such powerful and potent practices.”
Johnathon
“I felt that the class was very helpful for me and learned about how working with my body is being present with how my body is reacting and then adjusting to help those reactions work themselves out instead of letting those reactions take control.”
Joanne
My first time and really enjoyed it. Especially useful in these current changing and unusual times.
So important!
Karen
“At first I thought how boring it was following Irene’s instructions, but I did, and felt a connection to my body I have never experienced before. I never thought something so subtle can be so powerful
I am new to Irene’s work and already a lot of childhood trauma has surfaced to be integrated, just by willing to heal.”
Mia
Overall I am feeling much more positive and improved ability to deal with stress has helped me sleep better after the 21 Day course Because of this, the internal tremor I experience at night is less intense. I have also noticed I am carrying less tension in my body. I have CFS and initially a lot of anxiety came up. I also felt exhausted but once I adjusted my pace and slowed right down, this eased and I experienced subtle shifts. I’m now working through the course a second time and incorporating the practices into my daily routine. Recently, m...

I just want to thank you so much for having created this affordable course for us. In my case, I come from a very traumatic childhood and lived with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and anorexia for almost my whole life. I did not even know what those terms were until I turn 28 (I am 37 now). I went to therapy at the age of 34 and did 35 sessions. However, I could not get my life back after I was released, and that was a big disappointment for me because I just did not understand why. I felt fine on my last session and as soon as I had no se...

The 21 Day Tune-Up is a well structured course and I like that it’s a mixture of short and long exercises, this way it doesn’t overwhelm you. I know I can pause anytime, but the course is encouraging you to keep going. I absolutely loved it, it’s so informative and helpful. It has opened my eyes and has made sense to so many things I’ve been going through and experiencing lately. Now it’s time to fix and heal. I’m so grateful! ?
Anastasiya
I love the 21 Day Tune-Up Course. I appreciated the content and the experiential lessons. This course was an important and accessible turning point for me in taking part in my own trauma healing journey.
Jess
The 21 Day Course is helping to educate myself so that I can have actual exercises to slowly work with while I unthaw the self sabotage type shut down. This support is helping me not give up completely, because I know, based on all I’ve learned so far from Irene, that I both deserve this and can do it. I am learning healthy aggression where I don’t hurt myself or others in the process. That gives me both a sense of hope and a sense of trust in this work that as long as I keep coming back to it more life force energy will come through to help me c...

The 21 Day Course was very well done. I enjoyed Irene’s thorough training, very comprehensive explanations (English is my second language), fantastic graphics, not to mention her pleasant voice and pleasant friendly face. The course was A+++
Jasmina
This is the essential course for anyone who is looking for healing for their body, mind and the whole system. I highly recommend the 21 Day Course, taking part in this course was best decision I have made for my healing journey, and I have tried many, many things before that. This tuneup gave good basics so I can continue doing the work with myself. I think that it is very important part of healing; to attain the feeling that I am finally regaining strength to support myself. The key is of course, take the given information and exercises into e...
Terhi
I loved the course & learned so much.
It is SO worth taking.
Healing my nervous system was the missing link in my healing journey. I don’t feel broken or hopeless anymore. I feel deserving of healing and a calmness I never felt before. I feel tuned to my body for the very first time in my life and it feels amazing!
Andrea
The tune-up course lessons are all very useful and all the content speaks to me 100%. Truly, this course and it’s lessons are for the people who are trying everything to help themselves, but nothing seems to work. With this course, I have began learning real things – techniques that work with my system since the first time I tried!
Silja
I took and lived through the 21 Day Course during my summer vacation. It became a part of the day I looked forward to. I appreciate the quality of both the theoretical as well as practical materials. Irene doesn’t underestimate the learner, which is important for me. I also love that I have ongoing access to the course, and actually I’ve started my 2nd round through! I remind myself daily of some of the ideas, concepts and tips Irene shared in the course, and I also have used some of them in my work as a transformation and vitality coach. One of ...

When I joined the 2021 SBSM course, I hoped to have a recovery that I could write about in a testimonial. I never guessed I’d submit one anonymously.
Through SBSM I learned that decades of wearing down my nervous system set me up for an autoimmune disease and descent into more immune system dysfunctions. Shortly after the program started I noticed emerging signs of recovery, like disappearing anxiety attacks, improved blood sugar stabilization and such. Until recently improvements were the kind I could openly celebrate. I recently realized a ch...
