For almost two decades, I’ve helped people feel at home in their bodies—first through hands-on bodywork, and now through nervous system coaching grounded in science, deep listening, and reverence for the wisdom your body already holds.
Hi! I'm Heidi
Being RESPONSIVE instead of reactive
RESTED and replenished instead of zoning out or shutting down
KICKING ASS instead of just getting by
Feeling PRESENT and engaged
Knowing what you want and LOOKING FORWARD to your life
Let's jumpstart your nervous system!
So many people feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, disconnection, and shame—and I get it!
Healing your nervous system is one of the most transformative things you can do for yourself.
- you’ve tried mindset work and still feel stuck
- relaxing feels impossible
- despite reading all the books and trying all the hacks, you still feel defensive all the time
- even though you can point to the trauma that left such challenging effects, the needle in your reactivity and triggery-ness hasn't really moved
Hear me out
It's not your fault that:
I will shout this from the rooftops:
Imagine this...
Stress and outdated survival patterns no longer run the show. Instead you are steady, clear, and deeply connected to yourself and others, including:

What Heidi's clients are saying:
“So many days since I started working with you I walk around with a smile on my face thinking 'I'm just a new person!'... You and this program have given me the chance for a much better life. I hope anyone who reads this will give themselves the chance to feel better too.”
- E.P., Actor
“I am experiencing a 180 degree shift in outlook and mood from when we started working together. Now I can respond instead of react.”
- Carli, Program Manager
“A year ago, I was experiencing deep depression and fatigue. Now my energy and mood have increased tremendously! I am able to rest when I need to without beating myself up. And I can energize as needed, too. Everything has gotten better.”
- Susanne, Artist
“I’m having amazing effects from RRP! I literally felt like I had just taken weed or a calming drug, but without the psychedelic effects, and it was the first night I actually had a good night of sleep.”
-Anonymous
"Your program has been worth every penny!
-Siri K. / Program Manager
"One of my favorite changes from my nervous system healing is how I've shifted from rumination to ideas—my mind now generates possibilities and creative impulses rather than looping the same worries.
Your program was instrumental in this transformation. Old stories that kept me stuck in resentment and insecurity have dropped away. And now when I feel lost, I know how to get back. My transformation has even affected my marriage! My husband and I have found each other again with humor, softness, and shared meaning."
- Enid Larsen / Educator, artist & grandmother

Results vary based on your personal history and level of participation. Some people notice small shifts in awareness and regulation within the first few sessions/weeks, while for others, changes unfold more gradually and incrementally over a few months. The length of the program is designed for steady progress that isn't rushed, and pacing that allows for integration, both of which are vital to fundamental change.

The Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) is a non-invasive, science-backed listening program that resets and restores your nervous system's capacity and function through technologically-filtered music. Originally developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, SSP gently and directly affects your vagus nerve so that it can effectively respond rather than automatically going into survival states. SSP has been found to reduce anxiety, improve focus, and build resilience, and has been written up in scientific journals, including the Harvard Review of Psychiatry.
What is the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP)?
The Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP) is a gentle, science-backed listening program that uses specially processed music to guide your nervous system out of chronic stress, vigilance, and shutdown — and into genuine rest. Developed using Sonocea® acoustic technology, RRP works by directly supporting the vagus nerve’s capacity to feel safe enough to soften and settle. It has been found to support deeper sleep, reduce hypervigilance, and help the body access the kind of restorative rest that chronic stress makes so difficult to find.

I didn’t grow up in a religious or cult-y setting, but I can relate to many of the signs you list. Would this program work for me?
This program is for anyone who feels they’re stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, or tension, regardless of their background. The focus is on creating a safe, body-based experience of connection, so whether or not you have a religious history, the Reset Program is designed to support anyone who wants to experience greater calm, ease, and connection.

FAQs
"I’ve already tried so much and nothing works."
You’ve done the journaling. The affirmations. The deep breathing. And yet, the anxiety, dread, or self-doubt keeps coming back.
That’s because nervous system transformation isn’t about hacks that help you calm down. It’s about creating safety, trust, and connection in your body at a foundational level—where real, lasting change begins.
"It feels too hard."
When life has trained you to push through, shut down, or stay braced for the next hard thing, the idea of softening—even into healing—can feel impossible. That’s not a failure. That’s your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do to keep you safe.
The Jumpstart meets you there, with gentle tools and science-backed support to help your body feel safe enough to try something new—without willpower, without forcing.
"I don’t have time for this."
You’ve got a full life—work, relationships, responsibilities—and you’re just trying to keep up. The idea of adding one more thing to your plate feels impossible.
But here’s the truth: learning to regulate your nervous system doesn’t have to take hours a day. In fact, small, doable practices can create big shifts in how you feel and show up in your life.
On the fence? I get it.
Reclaiming your nervous system after a lifetime of stress, fear, and hyper-vigilance might feel too good to be true.
You might be thinking...
I’m a nervous system coach who helps people who have left high-control systems, relationships, or religions feel free and safe in their bodies again.
I grew up as a missionary kid, terrified of hell. Years after no longer believing in hell, I realized my body was still stuck in its hyper-vigilant, people-pleasing, rule-following state.
Now I know this: Understanding why you’re stressed—or even removing the stressor—won’t set you free. Freedom comes when your body no longer has to brace against threat, and you feel safe to exhale and be yourself.
I’ve spent the last twenty years helping people reconnect with their bodies through trauma-informed bodywork, and science-backed and body-based nervous system coaching.
Today, when I’m not working with clients or pitching my book, "Home(sick): How My Body Saved My Mind (a memoir about losing faith and finding home), I’m probably putzing around in my garden or picking garden dirt or sourdough out from under my nails while I watch my comfort show, Masterchef Australia.
(No, I don't live in Australia. I just love the Australian version of Masterchef where the judges don't throw food or swear at contestants, and everyone speaks in that hot accent).
Or... why the heck you should trust me!?
About Heidi
Hey, don't worry. I'm not offended. It's 100% fair to need to know this:
Heidi Fischbach, EdM, LMT, holds a master’s degree from Harvard University (Ed.M.); certification as a Focusing Professional from The International Focusing Institute; certification as a provider of the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) and the Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP), the acoustic, nervous system interventions based on the Polyvagal Theory; and advanced professional certification as a massage therapist from the Muscular Therapy Institute (MTI) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The resumé-y part
When you come into friendly relationship with your nervous system, you’ll finally see why—despite your best efforts—it has been so hard to truly feel safe enough to drop your guard so that you can relax, feel present and deeply connected before.
Here's the thing:
This program is science-backed, body-based and designed to reset survival-mode patterns that have outlived their usefulness—so that you can feel more alive and at home in your body and mind.
This is not surface-level self-care. Neither is it digging up old trauma. It IS deep, steady support that helps unwind old triggers and activation from the inside out.
When your system feels safe enough to soften, everything begins to shift: you laugh more easily, love more deeply, think more clearly, move more freely—and start living in a way that feels authentically you.
Because nervous system healing isn’t just about coping better. It’s about finally feeling safe enough to be who you actually are.
