About the MyShelle Method
The MyShelle Method ~ Mothering the Nervous System
Where neuroscience meets nurture.
I help people I help women shift from self-abandonment to self-attunement ~ from being the caregiver for everyone else to being able to mother themselves first.
Mothering the Nervous System™ is my signature method that blends neuroscience, touch, and education to help you reconnect with your body.
We work at the root ~ your Primitive Reflexes ~ to re-pattern the protective circuits that shape your stress, emotions, and behavior.
Before we ever learned to speak or think, our bodies were mothered by our primitive reflexes.
These reflexes were our first language of safety, belonging, and survival.
When those primitive reflexes don’t fully integrate, or mature, they keep showing on a loop.
They show up later in life as:
Cravings and control around food 🍽
Disconnection from our bodies 🤍
Trouble setting boundaries or receiving support 🌬
Overgiving, burnout, or misalignment with our purpose ✨
Through the MyShelle Method, I guide people back to the root ~ reconnecting the nervous system through four powerful anchors:
🌱 Centering – coming home to your intuition.
🫶 Bonding – finding safety again in your body physically.
🍽 Receiving – healing feeding & breathing reflexes, so you can feel safe to receive love, nourishment, and care.
✨ Giving – aligning acts of service with your true integrity and soul purpose.
This is not about becoming more conscious.
This is persuasion through the subconscious over mindset or force.
When your body feels mothered, your nervous system feels safe again ~ and that changes everything in your nervous system.
I lead you through live, intimate experiences of workshops that lead into group coaching and deeper one-on-one work for those ready to go further.
Because the truth is… before we can thrive, we must feel safe.
And before we can feel safe, we must learn to mother our nervous system.

Michelle Carrie McDougall is the founder of The MyShelle Method.
She teaches you how to Mother your Nervous System™: to rewire old stress responses, restore safety, and reconnect with your body’s natural calm.
Michelle works with the body’s original survival reflexes ~ the neurological patterns formed in infancy that shape how we respond to stress as adults.
With over two decades of experience in motherhood, health, fitness, and trauma recovery, Michelle is a practitioner pioneering in nervous system healing.
Education in the nervous system, primitive reflexes, somatic meditation, trauma, acupressure, kinesiology, and conscious education to list a few modalities in her toolbelt.
Her signature philosophy, “Mothering the Nervous System,” invites clients to cultivate self-compassion and rebuild the body’s innate sense of safety through nurturing and understanding.
Through private coaching, workshops, and online programs, she helps clients rewire deep patterns of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn ~ blending neuroscience, somatic coaching, and trauma-informed reflex integration.
Michelle guides clients to understand the language of their nervous system ~ transforming survival patterns into pathways of safety and self-trust.
Her message is simple yet profound:
“ You don’t need to fix yourself ~ you need to nurture your nervous system.”
Michelle now offers in-person sessions in Kelowna, BC, and Sherwood Park, AB, as well as online coaching worldwide.
Because the truth is… before we can thrive, we must feel safe.
And before we can feel safe, we must learn to mother our nervous system.
For the woman who’s ready to mother herself first.
For future generations the MyShelle Method leads the way...
You’re highly capable, but often tired, tense, or detached inside.
You’ve done the mindset work, but your body still doesn’t feel safe.
You’re ready to finally feel at home in your own skin ~ and live aligned with what your soul truly needs.
