“As a mother of three children who have had some complex wellness issues, particularly sleep challenges, I’ve tried so many things over the years to help them.

Across both my children, I’ve dealt with many practitioners, had different procedures done, tonsils and adenoids removed, tongue ties released and some more in between. All these things needed to be done however I knew there was a missing puzzle piece, though I wasn’t sure what that was.

Over a year ago, I came across the incredible work of Dr Carrie Rigoni. I began to learn about the vagus nerve and what its role was, and how the condition of the vagus nerve impacted literally everything in the body. I read and learned about the nervous system in ways I hadn’t before, particularly what you see manifest in children who are dysregulated.

As my son grew closer to rescuing his fourth birthday, I knew he needed some extra support and I needed some myself. I knew what my goal was for him and I had some strategies and tools in place to manage my son, but I knew until I got help with his nervous system and vagus nerve, I wouldn’t get the results I was looking for, which was a calmer child who didn’t experience the intense reactions that came from being so dysregulated.

As soon as I had an online session with Carrie, she was able to make sense of what was going on with my son and give me some tools straight away. She was also able to help explain how working on the vagus nerve and nervous system generally would assist in the outcomes I was hoping for in my son.

Despite working with us in an online capacity, she provided us with so much support and mapped out a plan for us that we could continue to get guidance on.

Since working with Carrie, we’ve seen some great improvements in our son and noticed some great knock on effects in other areas. It’s certainly helped us as parents know what we are doing when it comes to supporting the nervous system in our children (and for us too).”
