Somatic bodywork, nervous system coaching, and body-based support for regulation, in Kelowna, Edmonton, & online.
Somatic bodywork, nervous system coaching, and body-based support for stress, overwhelm, emotional regulation, and connection.
The MyShelle Method™ helps you support your nervous system through intentional touch, developmental reflex work, body awareness, movement, education, and coaching.
This work begins with nervous system stabilization.
Instead of forcing the body to calm down, the MyShelle Method helps the body experience support, safety, and connection in a new way.
You may be here because you feel overwhelmed, reactive, anxious, disconnected from your body, stuck in stress, or like you are trying everything but nothing is creating lasting change.
You are not just dysregulated.
Your body is under-supported.
The MyShelle Method helps you build nervous system stability through body-based practices, co-regulation, somatic bodywork, and personalized support.

Not sure where to begin?
Whether you want to support yourself, support someone you love, receive professional support, or learn how to support others through your work, the MyShelle Method offers a body-based pathway for nervous system stabilization.
Start with The Nervous System Bestie Club™ if you want tools, classes, and community support.
Book a consultation if you want help choosing the right pathway.
Book a 30-minute consultation to discuss what you are experiencing and which form of support may be most appropriate.
Your body may be responding through patterns of protection that happen before conscious thought.
These patterns can show up as bracing, overthinking, shutting down, becoming defensive, losing confidence, reacting quickly, or feeling unable to settle.
When this keeps happening, it can feel as though something is wrong with you.
The MyShelle Method begins with a different question:
What might your body need in order to feel more supported from within?

Support the body beneath the reaction through somatosensory contact, nervous system awareness, and body-based practices.
The process begins with supportive compression and predictable contact.
The body is given a clear sensory experience of containment without being restrained, forced, or pushed.
This is where the body may begin to recognize:
What feels supportive.
Where the pressure is.
I can handle this.

Build a clearer relationship with sensation, breath, boundaries, needs, and the messages coming from within.
Through somatosensory body mapping, you begin to notice where your body feels clear, distant, guarded, sensitive, connected, or difficult to sense.
This is not about judging what you find.
It is about developing a clearer internal relationship with your own body.

This can help you develop a clearer sense of where your body begins and ends, how one area connects to another, and how your body is organized from within.
Over time, you may feel more present in areas that once felt distant, disconnected, guarded, or difficult to sense.
The result is often a stronger internal sense of shape, direction, continuity, and personal boundaries.

As the work deepens, the body begins to explore larger relationships across the whole system.
The method invites you to explore the relationship between your center and your outer boundaries, stability and movement, reaching and returning, and the difference between a healthy limit and a protective restriction.
Develop greater capacity for relationships, expression, life changes, meaningful goals, and the future you want to create.
We may discuss:
You will also have time to ask questions about the work.
By the end of the consultation, you will have a clearer understanding of your next step.
The 30-minute consultation is a conversation designed to help us understand where you are now and what kind of support may be most appropriate.
