- **Event Name**: Understanding Your Nervous System — A Free Evening with Anna Roters
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 am – Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 am (+12:00)
- **Event Description**: What happens in your body when you feel threatened, overwhelmed, or shut down?

Most of us have been taught to manage from the neck up — think positive, push through, calm down. But your nervous system doesn't work that way.

In this free 1-hour event, Anna introduces Polyvagal Theory — a framework that explains why your body responds the way it does under stress, and how to gently shift out of survival mode and back into connection.

What to expect:
• Accessible, grounded education
• Gentle somatic practices
• A felt sense of what regulation actually feels like

About Anna

Anna Roters is a trauma-informed nervous system coach who specialises in Polyvagal Theory, somatic practice, and ACT.

Her path into this work is deeply lived — after decades of emotional suppression and people-pleasing, a near-fatal family crisis in 2021 became a turning point. What followed was a profound reclamation of self.

Today she supports others to understand their nervous system, reclaim their voice, and rebuild trust with their body.

Science and spirituality — both/and.

Once you understand your nervous system — the next question is why you relate the way you do. Attachment and Your Nervous System Workshops are coming to Auckland.
