Meditation for Wellness and Nervous System Health

Monthly Nervous System Reset & Repair

A gentle, practical workshop for restoring balance and capacity

This once-a-month workshop is a space to slow down, reconnect, and support your nervous system in a way that’s practical, grounded, and deeply human.

When the nervous system is under constant demand—stress, pressure, change, or simply a fast pace of life—it can become stuck in patterns of tension, fatigue, or overwhelm. Over time, this affects how we feel in our bodies, how we relate to others, and how much capacity we have to meet life comfortably.

In this workshop, we focus on simple, effective practices that help the nervous system reset and repair over time. Practiced regularly, these tools can increase your sense of steadiness, improve resilience, and make it easier to stay present and at ease in everyday moments.

You can expect:

Gentle, guided practices that support regulation and restoration
Clear explanations of why the practices work—without jargon
A pace that honors individual limits and personal choice
An environment designed to feel safe, respectful, and non-overwhelming

This workshop is facilitated with a trauma-sensitive approach, meaning:

Participation is always optional—there is no pressure to push, perform, or share
You are encouraged to listen to your body and move at your own pace
Practices are offered with flexibility and choice, not force

No prior experience is needed. You do not need to be “good” at meditation, breathwork, or body-based practices. This is not about fixing yourself—it’s about supporting your system so it can do what it naturally knows how to do: restore balance.

This monthly gathering is ideal for anyone who:

Feels the effects of chronic stress, tension, or overstimulation
Wants to feel more comfortable and at-ease in day-to-day living
Is curious about nervous system health but wants an approachable, grounded entry point

Come as you are. Leave with practical tools you can return to again and again.

Monthly Offering

Saturday, 11:00a-12:00p

Trauma-sensitive by design, these monthly resets are rooted in modern neuroscience and an understanding of how stress, trauma and overwhelm live in the nervous system. We are incredibly resourced as humans to reset and repair this influential aspect of our health.

Expect a short, opening grounding practice, a short talk on nervous system health related topic and time for reflection and Q&A. We close with a longer practice to support us in nervous system health, repair and growth in our personal meditaiton practice.

Wellness Practice, for Real Life.

This work supports the full spectrum of human experience - mental, physical, social and emotional.

The goal is not to excape life, but to build capacity for strong relationships, meaningful work, rest, creativity, wellbeing and new adventures!

Grounded in science. Free of dogma.

Inclusive, by Intention.

The Center and all services are designed to serve people of all races, cultures, gender identities, religions, non-religions, abilities and communities.

Inclusion here is not symbolic, rather, it is built into our language, pacing, structure and expectations.

Here we honor that we all have different lived experiences. There is space for sharing, but you are not required to share personal experiences, push past your limits, or perform calm.

Come as You Are.

This is a come-as-you-are community, inviting you to be comfortable in whatever way that means for you.

Mats, cushions and chairs are in the Center for your use and comfort. You are welcome to bring any other items that support you in practice.

The Good Word

"What Rachel practices will be at the core of everything I do as a Career Coach.

What my students learned was truly shocking! I was in awe when I saw how relaxed and ready to learn the kids were after participating in Rachel's class.

Rachel is an enlightened storyteller. She shares a compelling message that made it easy for me to understand...Rachel has a true gift."

Mike Remer

Career Coach, Swanton Local Schools

"With great appreciation, admiration, and thankfulness, I want to express my deep and sincere thanks to you for your outstanding gift to all of us at our administrative assistance luncheon. You gave us much more than a presentation. You gave all of us an invitation and ideas on how to improve the quality of our lives. I still hear great reviews from those who attended, and now I am hearing from those who were not in attendance but heard from attendees about your unique gift. Thank you!"

"Your work is so important with our youth. The girls really enjoy you every year and Coach Matt loved it too. Love, love, love that!!"

"Thank you for your guidance, tough love, encouragement and helping me find my center again, and let go of the sh*t that doesn't matter to bring more joy back to my life."

"Rachel didn’t introduce me to the practice of meditation—I had started and stopped it time and time again. I would compare the way I meditated to what I thought was the “right” way, and convince myself I wasn’t doing it right.

What she did do, was help me find a way to get through self-judgment and the self-defeatism I had attached to the practice. Through conversation, education, and guidance, she helped me find my way to understand better how to meditate and, most importantly, why."

Nekiesha Taylor

Director of Marketing, Planned Parenthood

"I met Rachel at the absolute perfect time -- I was going through a significant life change. I was an exhausted, emotionally over-extended walking raw nerve who was tired of living in the pressure cooker emotional reality I had built over decades of poor coping mechanisms. I was searching for a way to feel grounded, and calm, and steady internally so I could most effectively and gracefully deal with what was happening in my life externally.

When Rachel introduced me to mindfulness and intentional awareness, I learned how to establish a habit, a practice of allowing myself to simply exist in whatever way my mind and body chose to show up in that moment. I learned how to regulate and ground my nervous system through simple techniques that gave me the peace and freedom to then approach my whirlwind of thoughts and emotions from a more clear perspective.

After a year of working with Rachel, I now have the ability to notice when I am unbalanced, to rebalance myself, and then allow my thoughts and feelings to rise, be acknowledged, and then work through them however necessary. I have learned to give myself grace as I work through the dynamics of life!"

“Rachel's intro to meditation series was life altering for me. I have tried for years on my own to stick with a meditation practice and was never as successful as I'd hoped. But with Rachel's expertise and compassion, along with the other lovely humans in my cohort, I am happy to say I am enjoying the benefits of a sustainable meditation practice. I am forever grateful for this space and cannot wait to see what offerings will come next.”

Sara Thompson

Student of Intro to Meditation Series

"Rachel Wixey is such a sound guide. Her knowledge, unique ability to teach, and insight of the journey inward make her the model mentor. She has encountered and overcome so many major challenges life can throw and has done the work in study, education, and meditation to offer insight and perspective that is extremely profound.

If you want to grow spiritually, find meaning in your existence, explore connection, experience meditation, learn lessons of the masters, enjoy total wellness, find relaxation of your mind and body, and in short - become the person you were meant to be, I urge you to initiate a relationship with Rachel and experience her magic for yourself."
