Why the
nervous system
Why the
nervous system
As one of the biggest systems in our body that governs all other systems (and how we relate to our environment), the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the ‘master key’ to deep health and healing that sticks.
But most of us are trying to heal ourselves and “fix our problems” without FIRST taking care of our nervous system. Which means all that work we’re doing won’t be able to give us true, lasting change and relief.
That’s why it’s time for you to tune up YOUR nervous system.
21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up is a self-study virtual training course that blends cutting-edge neuroscience with crafty neurosensory exercises – all designed to spark up your nervous system powers by helping you tune in to the mind-body-environment connection.
Every day, for 21 days, you’ll get an email to guide you, ONE step at a time, through ALL of the following (to which you’ll also have immediate and lifetime access):
- 9 powerful lessons that blend cutting-edge neuroscience with sensory awareness and functional movement practices, all designed to spark up your nervous system powers.
- Easy-to-follow audio exercises that help you get into your biology on a level that can facilitate a shift into true ‘rest, relax, and repair’ mode.
- Vital nervous system science via Irene Lyon’s signature video training, which in itself can change how you see your past, present, and future.
- Daily educational videos designed to enlighten, educate, and prime you for the deeper teachings & biological embodiment practices.
- Support from trained professionals (via our course site), where our team of trained and experienced nervous system practitioners answer your questions on a weekly basis.

WHAT YOU’LL GET
Part 1
Irene’s signature 5-part biology of stress video training series
When you learn about your biology – and like really learn, from the inside out – something special happens; by understanding what’s happening (in your biology) you can fear it less – the stress, the anxiety, the pain, etc. This opens the door for change to happen at a deep level.

Part 2
9 of Irene’s proprietary neurosensory exercises
You’ll get nine practical audio lessons designed to spark up your nervous system powers.
The Power of Orienting |
Reset your stress levels in seconds by learning how to pause, slow down and look around. |
Following Your Impulse |
If you find it hard to trust your intuition and lead with your gut, then this simple practice may just knock your socks off! It’s time to get back to your body’s most basic impulses. |
Finding Your Potent Posture |
This handy little exercise can give you a whole new way of improving your posture that’s functional, dynamic and dare say… a little unusual. Plus, you’ll discover what babies can teach you and why their learning process is sharp and smart. |
‘Multi-Tasking’ Awareness |
Building resiliency and realizing our potential means being able to bring multiple streams of intention and attention into one moment in time, while still staying easy in our breath and connected to the ground. Here you get to experiment and explore this concept of ‘multi-tasking’ awareness so you can improve your nervous system capacity. |
Balancing Your Back |
Muscular tension and overall body stiffness are a nasty by-product of too much sitting in one place, not a lot of varied movement in day-to-day life, and quite frankly, not enough active play out in nature. This gentle exercise can be the equivalent of taking a movement meditation vacation for your entire spine and also your mind. It can help iron out the kinks and melt away tensions. |
Tense & Relax |
Mindfulness training and meditation are hot stuff these days, yet so many people struggle with it. With some clever guidance and learning how to go INTO the tension, this exercise can teach you how to feel the tension as a way to release it. The result when you do this: MORE RELAXATION. |
Containment and The Self-Hold |
Healthy connection to self and the ability to self-soothe are key components of a resilient nervous system and a good life. This neurosensory exercises brings often unconscious, yet helpful behaviours, to the forefront of our awareness so we can realize (and practice) natural methods that serve to calm us down. |
Finding the Painful and the Pleasant |
Imagine using the pain you feel as the catalyst for opening up more space in your body and mind. In this final lesson, you’ll be introduced to this rather different, yet highly effective concept. Pain is a signal that something is blocked in the body. By going into your pain, befriending it and getting to know it, it can give you some important clues for making some massive 360 degree shifts. |
Global and Local Healing |
Our body is made up of cells, tissues, fluids, and organs, plus a complex array of processes that connect it all together. To bring this ‘tune-up’ to a close, the concept of working with the local and global systems of body and environment, respectively, are woven together in this final neurosensory exercise. We are all connected and this final lesson brings these precious dots together. |

Real Stories
Michaela
When I think about where I am now and what has been going on with me even the past few weeks and months compared to most of my life… it’s like my wildest dreams are taking place.
For years, I was trying to do work blindfolded. But as soon as I came to nervous system work, the blindfold came up and it finally all made sense and I could see. It was just a nectar. I consumed it all in the most nourishing and enjoyable way without major struggles.
When I was going through the ‘21 Day’ course, I literally felt from day to day like a veil was being lifted in terms of my perceptions. I had so many realizations, so many epiphanies.
It is possible to turn things around, but you will have to work for it. You can’t buy it. Someone else can not do it for you. But you can do it. I strongly believe everybody has the capacity [to heal].
Andrew
After more than thirty years of seeing counsellors, therapists, qualifying as an NLP practitioner and life coach and spending more than $25,000 in personal development, since I started the 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up, I’m really unlocking myself and freeing myself from my past. I’m already noticing that my stuck states shift much quicker; am more present and confident with people and am noticing that my body is becoming more alive. I’ve started to rediscover my creativity and childlike nature which is a real blessing.
I’m on my third run through of the program (Once you’ve invested you can repeat it as much as you like) and am still delighted by the quality and quantity of the support from Irene’s team; as well as from the other participants. The investment is an absolute bargain. If you’re serious about resolving your issue and this looks like it’s a fit, do it!
Rebecca
As a mind-body life coach I suspected my nervous system was somewhat unregulated. Not always, but more often than I’d like, I would get ‘triggered’ for seemingly no reason and would experience jitters and low-level anxiety that wouldn’t switch off. Particularly, when turning within to notice my emotions. (Later, I’d learn that ‘orienting’ could settle this down.)
I heaped on tons of self-judgment and created stressful stories about my abilities to help others heal their chronic pain. Thankfully, a Canadian friend and coach forwarded me one of Irene’s videos. To say it resonated would be a huge understatement – I HAD TO KNOW MORE so I immediately signed up for her 21-Day Tune Up program and felt HOPE surging through my veins.
While it’s true Irene’s training has been incredibly beneficial in helping me understand mammalian physiology, the nervous system, and how both relate to chronic pain and illness, it’s been a much bigger awakening than that.
Irene’s a fantastic teacher, mentor and presenter. She doesn’t ‘dumb down’ anything; rather, gives easy to understand and digest bite-sized lessons. I got anatomy and neuroscience education, mind/body/emotions connections review, movement therapy introduction, how to honour impulses, hear inner wisdom, helpful videos and relevant resources, a like-minded FB community, answers to my personal questions – and well, a newfound intimacy and healthier relationship with myself.
The information she provided fits ‘hand in glove’ with all the mind-body tools I’ve amassed and used over a ten-year span. For me, the mind-body puzzle is complete. These days I’m feeling happier, peaceful, authentic, and more confident as a coach. It’s a joy to witness my clients benefitting from what I learned too.
So, if you have a nervous system, a mind, a body and emotions (and we all do!)– this course is for you. It’s a game changer and I highly recommend it
OTHER REASONS YOU MIGHT NEED THIS
|
|
Shutting down in times of stress is your default and being emotionally numb, you know all too well. You find it difficult to express any solid full-scale emotions like joy, anger or sadness. And sometimes you think your DNA doesn’t have the “express yourself” gene. (You’ve even tried hitting pillows and screaming in the shower — it feels good for a while, but the gremlins always seem to return.) |
|
|
You’ve stumped your doctor, acupuncturist and therapist and the most they do is prescribe “less stress” and “take it easy” — or, maybe “try this specialist” or “this pill.” |
|
|
No matter what you do, you feel tethered to a massive rock and right now, hiding under it seems like the best possible solution. |
|
|
You say stuff you know you shouldn’t be saying, but before you know it, cruel and hurtful words are flying out of your mouth, attacking those you love the most, like your children or partner. You’ve got mindfulness ADHD. |
|
|
Whenever you head to your meditation class, you lack focus, and you can’t calm your mind to save your life. |
|
|
Harmful habits and addictions hijack you. They also cause you unnecessary obsession, heartache, self-hatred and shame, but you do them because they are the only way you know how to feel any sense of control, safety and security. (BTW: These habits don’t have to be crack-cocaine…. um, how about exercise or being obsessed with food as some more commonly accepted types of addictions?) |
|
|
You’re constantly trying out holistic practitioner, after woo-woo professional after transformational coach to get to the bottom of why you’re still a certified hot mess (Because even though you’ve made some progress, something still ain’t right.) |
WHY IS IT SO TOUGH
to get on top of these pesky things?!?
Chances are no one has ever taught you how your nervous system really works, nor have they given you the tools to work with it in a very smart way. You see, for things to really shift, you need a combo of both. Irene’s got you covered because this IS her specialty.
A MESSAGE FROM IRENE
You have the capacity to heal yourself; your system is not broken. But to really heal means dealing with stress at the deeper level of the nervous system.
When we bring more nervous system regulation on board and start to work at this level, the benefits are GAME CHANGING.
With a more regulated nervous system, we not only feel less stress, we may also see change (often profound!) in almost every area of our life; physical health improves, well-being grows, and ageing becomes more graceful.
We have more energy to live our lives, the little stuff AND the big stuff, and we gain more energy, focus, presence, and peace of mind.
I realize this can sound too good to be true, but it’s actually how we humans were designed to work.
Can you picture what your life might look like with less stress and more regulation in your nervous system?
I want to help you make this vision a reality, and I created The 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up to teach you how. This self-study course is a powerful, and absolutely doable, place to start.
The ‘Tune-Up’ is changing people’s lives and waking them up to what it means to become truly healthy.
