🎶 Your Nervous System Playlist Library

Welcome.

This space is for your nervous system—no fixing, no pressure, sound and breath and small, safe shifts.

Every playlist below is built around polyvagal theory: a roadmap for how we move through states of shutdown, anxiety, and connection.

Pick the playlist that fits you right now, not where you should be.

Pause when you need to. Move when you’re ready.

🌿 Gentle Reminders

  • Your nervous system knows the way.

  • Sound is a co-regulator. Let it do some of the work.

  • There’s no rush, no wrong, and no need to push.
