How to Regulate Your Nervous System: A Somatic Practitioner’s Guide

Send us Fan MailWhat if staying calm under pressure isn’t about pushing harder, but about learning how to regulate your nervous system?In this episode of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar sits down with certified wellness and somatic practitioner and nervous system coach Karen Ann Canham to explore simple, effective tools you can use in real time to manage stress. Whether you’re navigating a demanding workday, high-stakes decisions, or moments of overwhelm, your nervous system plays a central role in how you think, feel, and perform.Karen shares accessible techniques used by a somatic practitioner, including gentle vagus nerve stimulation, grounding through a “safety anchor,” and quick body scan practices that help shift you out of stress and back into a regulated state.These tools take seconds to implement and can create meaningful changes in your ability to stay focused, present, and resilient.We also discuss the impact of unprocessed stress, including burnout, brain fog, and emotional reactivity, and how working with a somatic practitioner approach can support both mental clarity and long-term health.If you are a high achiever, leader, or someone who feels constantly “on,” our conversation offers practical strategies to help you regulate in the moment and perform at your best.Want to know more about Karen Ann Canham?
