Nervous System Regulation

Your nervous system holds the key to receiving abundance. When your body feels unsafe around money, no amount of mindset work will create lasting change. Sophia helps you build nervous system capacity for wealth.

Why Nervous System Work Matters for Money

🧬

Money Lives in Your Body

Financial stress, scarcity beliefs, and money trauma are stored in your nervous system, not just your mind. When you feel anxious about money, your body goes into survival mode - the opposite of the state needed to receive abundance.

Creating Safety Around Receiving

Many people unconsciously reject money because their nervous system associates wealth with danger. Sophia guides you in building somatic safety so your body can actually hold and welcome abundance.

Your "money thermostat" is set by your nervous system. Sophia helps you gradually expand your capacity to feel safe with higher income levels, preventing self-sabotage when you start earning more.
