The ethics of care
must be cultivated, nurtured, shaped.
Care is both value and practice.
(Virginia Held)
This approach emerges from the need to move beyond individual wellness, regulation, and self-management.
Nervous system care explores multiple preventive practices to reclaim the diverse dimensions of care, putting the interdependent nature of our neurobiology and natural rhythms at the center.
Today, in general, there is a decontextualized and ableist approach to nervous system healing that is mainly focused on regulation, performance, quick reset, and fixing, which often invalidates our full spectrum of emotions and functionalities outside of what is considered healthy or productive.
By sensing the mutual impact of human and non-human fields in our interactions and in our bodies, we can recognize our need for receiving and giving care, enjoyment, ease, and connection as something natural.
Somatic therapy and therapeutic bodywork from a caring ethos involve expanding our view to encompass neurobiology in relationships, daily living, the material contexts, and ecosystems.
Nervous System Care involves regulation, restoration, and preventive care; a practice that supports all the somatic methods I offer, including Sensorial Yoga.
This approach expands into ecologies that recognize our bodies as present, connected, and co-regulating with both the human and more-than-human world.
It addresses our transpersonal neurobiology at the levels of emotions (affects), thoughts (cognition), and the body, combining practices and experiences to be habitually integrated into our daily lives from a salutogenic perspective.
It acknowledges that while we have multiple relative parts functioning in daily life, and that we also possess an core awareness, untouchable by circumstances.
Finally, this approach aims to be shared and shaped with the input of different practitioners and disciplines, embracing the biodiversity from where situated knowledge emerges to nourish our actions to build more resilient communities.
