The start of a new year often comes with a long list of goals—move more, eat better, be more productive, do all the things. While the intentions behind these goals are good, sometimes we forget to make time for taking care of our nervous systems.
This year, we invite you to consider a different kind of resolution—one rooted in rest.
Why Nervous System Regulation Matters
Your nervous system plays a central role in how you experience stress, energy, sleep, focus, digestion, and pain. When your body is stuck in a chronic “fight or flight” state, even the most well-intentioned goals can feel overwhelming or impossible to maintain.
Nervous system regulation helps your body shift into a state of rest and repair. This is where healing happens. This is where you can think more clearly, respond rather than react, and feel more connected to yourself.
For pregnant and postpartum individuals especially, regulation is essential. Hormonal changes, physical demands, and emotional transitions can all place extra stress on the nervous system. Prioritizing rest isn’t indulgent—it’s foundational.
Rest Is Not the Opposite of Productivity
We often think of rest as something we earn after we’ve done enough. In reality, rest is what allows us to show up fully in our lives.
Restorative practices like gentle yoga, breath-work, acupuncture, and intentional stillness help calm the nervous system, lower stress hormones, and improve overall well-being. These practices create space—for insight, for healing, and for sustainable momentum throughout the year.
An Invitation to Rest & Restore
To support this intention, we’re offering a Rest & Restore Workshop designed to help you slow down and reconnect with your body.
Saturday, January 17 | 12:30–1:30 PM
This supportive, restorative experience will include:
30 minutes of gentle restorative yoga led by Dr. Gina, focusing on relaxation, breath, and nervous system regulation
Acupuncture with Dr. Alex, supporting deep relaxation and overall well-being
This workshop is offered as a free service, is prenatal friendly, and open to all.

Whether you’re feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or simply craving a moment of stillness, this workshop is an opportunity to begin the year with intention—without pressure.
A Gentle Resolution for the Year Ahead
Instead of only asking, What more can I do this year?
Try asking, How supported does my nervous system feel?
Regulation isn’t something you achieve once—it’s something you practice. Small, consistent moments of rest can create profound shifts over time.
If your body is asking for a slower start to the year, we would love to hold space for you.
Take care,
Dr. Gina
