Return to Movement Protocol

The 4-phase nervous system-first protocol to return to movement safely.

“This protocol helps you to understand where you are in your movement journey, what to do next as well as support for if you can feel symptoms rising. There are clear guidelines to help you determine your readiness for movement and when you are ready to add in more. Amazing for stopping the backwards and forwards of progress that flare ups bring. This is the most clear, informative and supportive course I have found on chronic illness and movement, I wish I had found it sooner!”

You know you need to move your body – but you can't do it the way you used to.

Whether you're living with chronic fatigue, POTS, long COVID, postpartum depletion, or hypermobility – you know that getting back to movement (in the right way) will help you engage more fully in your life.

But every time you've tried to get back to it, whether it’s dancing, CrossFit, running (all the things you used to love) – it backfires.

Your symptoms flare, you crash harder, and you feel like you've taken ten steps backward.

So now you're stuck dealing with energy crashes that dictate your schedule, exhaustion so deep that people who haven't lived it just don't get it and that constant loop in your mind: Can I do this? Will I regret it tomorrow?

You wish you could walk around the block without paying for it, play with your kids without depleting yourself and move your body the way you want to.

But you can’t keep pushing through like you used to. 

Because here's the thing…

You’re trying to train your muscles instead of working with your nervous system first.

And when you're dealing with chronic fatigue, POTS, long COVID, postpartum depletion, or hypermobility – your nervous system is already maxed out.

What you actually need is a way to return to movement that puts your nervous system first – so you can rebuild your capacity without the flare-ups, crashes, or fear that you'll pay for it tomorrow.

And that’s where I come in…

Hi, I’m Carrie!

I’m a chiropractor, applied kinesiologist and vagus nerve educator. And I need you to know something right from the start: I get it because I’ve lived it.

I know what it's like to feel like your body is letting you down – to feel like you can't physically express who you are.

I know what it's like to question every decision: Should I do this? Am I going to regret this tomorrow? Can I trust my body to handle this?

And it took me a really long time to release that fear and trust my body again.

And here's what I learned through my own recovery and through dedicating my entire career to dysautonomia…

The missing piece isn't willpower or "just exercising more" and it definitely isn't pushing through.

Introducing: The Return to Movement Protocol

A four-phase, self-paced protocol designed to help you return to movement safely and sustainably – by putting your nervous system first.

The four phases

Phase One: Regulate – Laying the foundation for your nervous system

Phase Two: Restore – Beginning to rebuild your capacity

Phase Three: Rebuild – Expanding what your body can do

Phase Four: Sustain – Maintaining your progress long-term

I created the Return to Movement Protocol because it's what I wished I had. 

It's the clinical amalgamation of everything I do with my clients in my practice – combined with the lived experience of someone who has been exactly where you are.

I applied this protocol to my own health starting from the bottom after my third baby and I realised: this is something I need to share.

At my worst, I couldn't walk around the block. Now I live my life without constant fear of crashing. I definitely didn't imagine I would feel as well as I do now.

And I want that for you too – even if it's hard to believe right now.

This is what actually works.

By the end of this protocol..

  • You'll trust your body again – no more constant fear of "will I regret this tomorrow?"

  • You'll have the capacity to fully engage in your life – playing with your kids, going out with friends, committing to plans without the crash

  • You'll move your body the way you want to – your life doesn't have to be on hold anymore

  • You'll understand how to work WITH your nervous system – so you know exactly what to do if you ever have a setback

And you'll have the tools to keep building from here – for life.

When you sign up here’s what you get:

  • ✺

    4 comprehensive phases (Regulate, Restore, Rebuild, Sustain) with step-by-step guidance through each

  • ✺

    Clear progression indicators before you move from one phase to the next – zero guesswork

  • ✺

    Additional questionnaires to support your self-awareness and progress

  • ✺

    Flare-up support – suggestions for what to do if you have a flare-up, so you don't spiral into "I'm back to square one" (because most of the time, you're not)

  • ✺

    Example exercises (but not prescriptive reps/sets – because everyone's nervous system is different)

  • ✺

    Lifetime access – use it again and again if you ever need to restart

Your current circumstance doesn't have to be your forever – even if that's hard to believe right now.

When I was at my worst, I couldn't have imagined feeling as well as I do now either. But trust in your body, re-engagement in your life and freedom from fear is possible.

I'm living proof of it. 

I won't promise you'll be "fully healed" because I know that's not realistic for where you are right now. 

But I can promise you this protocol gives you everything you need to rebuild trust in your body and return to movement safely. 

And it comes with lifetime access – so if you have a setback you know exactly where to start again, using the tools you already have.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • No. While I do go through example exercises, this is a nervous system-focused protocol. Everyone's nervous system is different and needs different things – so I'm not going to sell you something prescriptive that won't work for your unique needs. This protocol teaches you HOW to work with your nervous system first, so you can safely expand your capacity for movement.

  • No. This does not replace clinical advice. Particularly for conditions like POTS or other complex health issues – if you're under the guidance of a medical practitioner or specialist, this doesn't replace their advice. This protocol is designed to be used in conjunction with healthcare professionals.

  • I totally understand. The first step is the scariest, and having the mental capacity to begin can feel tricky when you're already depleted. But I've literally outlined every single step so you don't have to think about it. There's no mental load. It's as handholding as you can possibly be.

    That said, if it still feels overwhelming or you want more support, one-on-one coaching is available (contact me directly) and group sessions will be available in the future (join the waitlist to be notified).

  • The protocol includes suggestions for what to do if you have a flare-up – so you can support your nervous system through it without spiraling into "I'm back to square one." Most of the time, you're NOT back at square one. And the protocol helps you navigate that with compassion and clarity.

  • At this stage, I'm not offering payment plans. This is a one-time payment of $199 for lifetime access. However, payment plans may be available for group coaching in the future.

  • Due to the digital, immediate download nature of this product, I cannot offer refunds. You get instant access to the full protocol as soon as you enrol – so please make sure this is right for you before purchasing.

  • Lifetime access. Forever. If you have a setback, you can come back to the protocol and know exactly where to start again. Including any future updates!

  • I’m a chiropractor in Perth WA, with a special interest in dysautonomia. I share my information from lived and clinical experience.

You deserve to walk around the block without paying for it, play with your kids without the crash, and trust your body again. This protocol is how you get there.
