Nervous System Informed Coaching
by Susan Vose, MA, SEP
Healing doesn’t begin by fixing what is “wrong.” It begins by supporting what is already right within you. Together we build stability in your nervous system and reconnect you with your natural strengths, your core self, and your body’s innate intelligence. I draw primarily on Somatic Experiencing® and integrate complementary approaches—including Reiki, hypnosis, NLP, and artistic expression—to support lasting, embodied change.
You can experience this work in:
- private office sessions
- or in partnership with the horses through Equine Assisted Somatic Coaching
In a coaching session with Susan, you will be encouraged to lean into your rhythm and nature: in other words, whatever is already working for you. You will soon find yourself able to zero in on obstacles and turn them into steps to success.

As your body regains safety and capacity, we identify small, realistic steps that align with your core self. Your goals are no longer driven by pressure, but by the natural momentum of a regulated system.
Equine Assisted Somatic Coaching Sessions

These sessions offer the same nervous system–focused support in partnership with the horses.

These experiences are not about artistic talent or techniques. They are opportunities to stimulate creativity, access flow, and deepen your connection with your True Self through guided imagery, nervous system awareness, and expressive art—all while having fun.

What is Somatic Experiencing®
What Is Somatic Experiencing®?
Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a gentle, evidence-based approach for restoring nervous system balance and resilience.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of us that responds automatically to life—shaping how we handle stress, relate to others, make decisions, and experience rest, energy, and emotion. When we become overwhelmed—whether through trauma, chronic stress, or the accumulation of life experiences—this system can lose its natural flexibility.
SE helps the nervous system rediscover its ability to regulate, so you can feel more present, connected, and at ease in your life.
Developed from over forty-five years of clinical application and informed by neuroscience, stress physiology, psychology, biology, and traditional healing practices, Somatic Experiencing® works by supporting the body’s innate capacity to heal.
You may benefit from SE if you experience:
- A racing mind or chronic exhaustion
- Anxiety or overwhelming emotions
- Emotional numbness or feeling shut down
- Anger, fear, or a strong inner critic
- Difficulty sleeping or making decisions
- Feeling stuck or disconnected from your life
Many of the people I work with have already tried:
- Talk therapy
- Self-improvement programs
- Meditation or retreats
- Exercise and wellness routines
- Books and online courses
and still feel something is missing.
This work may be right for you if you are:
- Highly sensitive
- Carrying more than you can comfortably hold
- Longing for change but unsure how to move forward
Through Somatic Experiencing® you can:
- Reconnect with your body and your inner wisdom
- Increase your capacity to navigate difficult emotions
- Experience greater ease and resilience
- Restore your natural mind–body connection
- Deepen your spiritual and creative life
Somatic Experiencing® Coaching can offer:
- Support alongside your medical or mental health care
- A compassionate, trained perspective
- Help in clarifying goals and staying on track
- A pathway out of feeling stuck and into flow
Somatic Experiencing® is an integration of multidisciplinary studies including stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, traditional healing practices, and medical biophysics with over forty-five years of successful application. Somatic Experiencing® works by helping the ANS find a balanced way of functioning.
