From serious dabbler → NSI Foundations Practitioner
Who is ready to take their basic knowledge and understanding of the nervous system and turn it into a practical, replicable, and powerful approach they can begin to integrate immediately into the work they already do!
Part 1, can stand on its own as a solid foundation in nervous system integration work, or it can be the gateway to the full NSIF Certification Program.
In Part 1 Foundations Intensive, you'll take the first steps to evolve your work from dabbler to fully invested (and committed) NSI Foundations Practitioner within your life and how you relate to, and navigate, your professional endeavors.
NSI Foundations Practitioner → NS Integration Practitioner
A Nervous System Integration Practitioner is someone who can leverage their intellectual and emerging embodied understanding of NS work and the NSIF frameworks to begin to support their clients in the explicit context of their professional setting. In this level you'll begin to integrate the practices, assessments, and tools as a consistent part of the work you do and go deeper into understanding the science behind NS-based behavior change.
NS Integration Practitioner → Certified NSI Facilitator
Our NSIF Certification Program is for those who are serious. . .
About bringing nervous system health to the world in an explicit, definable, and science-driven way. A NSI Facilitator is someone who can bring not only their knowledge but their personal NS experience/journey to bear strategically and organically on a variety of situations and in varying contexts. At this level you will be able to apply, shape, and reshape the work to support growth and stability in the areas of education, change, growth, health + wellness, fitness, creative work, advocacy, social justice, leadership, entrepreneurship and beyond.
What sets this program apart
1. Excellence + Efficacy
Our goal is to bring into practice a codified approach to facilitating NS work that is accessible, locally and globally impactful, contextually versatile, and can be easily built upon or adapted to varied personal, professional, and clinical environments.
This program will cultivate facilitators who are comprehensively trained in the science and most recent theories of the Autonomic Nervous System and Polyvagal Theory, have undergone extensive practical application and have a system to follow that will set the precedent for others.
2. Processes + Outcomes
This program carves a path for the emerging work of nervous system facilitation in a high-level community that values discourse, inquiry, feedback, exploration and challenging common assumptions.
This community is made up of individuals who are comfortable with not having all the answers AND who are dedicated to FINDING them through collaboration and problem-solving.

"Really great addition to my practice and to offer to clients. I am truly able to see the benefit as we walk our path in life. Most importantly is to understand the true complexity and integrity of the human body and the true power we have if we plug in, are aware and practice the awareness."
-- Movement Therapist

Orly Shachman
"The nervous system work with Chantill has made me curious and opened my eyes to the infinite possibilities of what is going on beneath the surface that I have not been able to touch in my teachings so far; about things I have sensed in people but not been able to put a physical finger on."

The gap you've been trying to fill
When your clients meet your effective and well-practiced strategies with resistance, drag their feet, procrastinate on doing their part, and then don’t get the results they are looking for…
…it can feel disheartening, frustrating, defeating, and disconnect us from the fulfillment and purpose of why we do the work we do.
And...it’s actually not their fault.
When your clients struggle to change their habits or reach their goals, it’s not because they’re not coachable, or they're too prideful, or they're not motivated -- although this is often how we make sense of their resistance or
inability to change. This might be what we see, how their behavior and cognitive processing is making sense of their feelings and actions.
But the truth is, they can't change because their nervous systems are dysregulated, perhaps -- and likely -- chronically so. In this state, lasting change is impossible. That's what neuroscience tells us.
And, although you might dabble in nervous system work, understand that it has something to do with shifting the brain into a "toward state", but that's not enough to truly support your clients come to you for.You likely don't have a tested and clear framework to follow to effectively apply nervous system facilitation skills that change behavior.
