Ep.51 - The Vagus Nerve: Changing how we process stress | Melissa Romano

We take a deep dive into our nervous system, with Melissa Romano, who educates us about the vagus nerve. She talks us through how to change the way we process stress and tone our nervous system, so that we can stay better connected, responding appropriately rather than reacting in those moments of stress.Melissa is a holistic therapist who specialises in applied polyvagal theory and integrative somatic therapy. You can find out more about Melissa and her work at reclaiminghealthy.comMelissa sets Gwen and Kate an exercise to help them check-in and stay connected to their nervous systems on a regular basis, plus aid digestion!We also reference our breathwork episodes, which you can listen to here:Breathwork Part 1Breathwork Part 2Find out more!For all RUMP info in one place: visit our linkt.reeGet a shout-out:Want a mention on the next RUMPette?
