The Nervous System Reset: Feel Peace & Joy This Holiday Season

The holidays can be beautiful — and also overwhelming.
Between family dynamics, emotional triggers, packed schedules, and the weight of expectations… your nervous system can slip into survival without you even realizing it.

This workshop is designed to help you reconnect to your body, regulate your nervous system, and create real space for presence, joy, and ease during the holiday season.

Dr. Colleen Norris, Network Spinal Chiropractor and nervous system expert, will guide you through both science-backed insights and somatic experiences that help you shift from fight/flight/freeze/fawn into the parasympathetic state where healing and connection become possible again.

• Why your nervous system gets overwhelmed during the holidays and how old survival patterns get activated by stress, family dynamics, and emotional memories.
• The difference between survival states (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) and true safety, and how each one shows up in your body.
• What happens physiologically when you’re stuck in stress and why you can’t “think your way” into calm.
• How to tend to your body in simple, practical ways that help bring your system back into connection.

• Tools to stay centered and grounded instead of getting swept into old emotional patterns.
• Clarity on what your nervous system needs to feel safe, calm, and deeply supported.
• Simple daily practices to keep your body regulated throughout the season.
• More capacity for joy, presence, and connection rather than burnout, reactivity, or exhaustion.
• A deeper connection to your own body’s wisdom — and the ability to honor what you need.

• If you get overwhelmed during the holidays… this is for you.
• If family dynamics drain you… this is for you.
• If your body feels tense, anxious, shut down, or overextended… this is for you.
• If you want to enjoy the holidays — instead of just surviving them — this is for you.

This workshop gives you the tools and the felt experience of what it means to shift your nervous system into ease, presence, and connection.
