Interoception is one of the most important ā and often overlooked ā aspects of wellbeing.
Itās the brainās ability to sense and interpret whatās happening inside the body: heartbeat, breath, tension, temperature, subtle shifts in internal state. This process, known as Interoception, sits at the heart of how we experience stress, safety, and emotional regulation.
From a neuroscience perspective, interoception is not just about awareness ā itās about prediction. The brain is constantly receiving signals from the body and making meaning from them. When this system becomes dysregulated (as it often does with chronic stress or trauma), those signals can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even absent altogether.
In my nervous system regulation sessions, I use touch, sound and vibration as a way to introduce clear, consistent sensory input that the nervous system can recognise and organise around. Through processes like Mechanotransduction, the body converts vibration into signals that travel through sensory pathways to the brain.
Rather than āfixingā anything, this supports the nervous system in refining how it perceives internal sensation.
When we slow things down and bring gentle attention to these signals, we begin to support regulation within the Autonomic Nervous System. Over time, this can help shift the system out of chronic stress patterns and towards greater stability and resilience.
Many people notice that they donāt just feel relaxed after a session ā they feel more aware of themselves. More connected. More able to recognise when something feels āoffā and respond earlier.
Thatās interoception improving.
My work sits at the intersection of ancient practices and modern neuroscience. Itās about creating the conditions where the nervous system can safely begin to sense, interpret, and regulate itself again.
This is where lasting change for the client begins, and Iām so grateful to be able to instigate it.
