Understanding Your Nervous System \u2014 A Free Evening with Anna Roters
Advertisement
What happens in your body when you feel threatened, overwhelmed, or shut down?
Most of us have been taught to manage from the neck up — think positive, push through, calm down. But your nervous system doesn't work that way.
In this free 1-hour event, Anna introduces Polyvagal Theory — a framework that explains why your body responds the way it does under stress, and how to gently shift out of survival mode and back into connection.
What to expect:
• Accessible, grounded education
• Gentle somatic practices
• A felt sense of what regulation actually feels like

👤
About Anna
Anna Roters is a trauma-informed nervous system coach who specialises in Polyvagal Theory, somatic practice, and ACT.
Her path into this work is deeply lived — after decades of emotional suppression and people-pleasing, a near-fatal family crisis in 2021 became a turning point. What followed was a profound reclamation of self.
Today she supports others to understand their nervous system, reclaim their voice, and rebuild trust with their body.
Science and spirituality — both/and.
Once you understand your nervous system — the next question is why you relate the way you do. Attachment and Your Nervous System Workshops are coming to Auckland.
