A space to regulate, release and reconnect with your body

Triple Vagal Method (TVM)

A body-based approach to nervous system regulation and trauma resolution

TVM is grounded in Polyvagal Theory and modern somatic trauma research. At its core, it works with the nervous system and the fascia, the connective tissue thought to hold memory, tension, and unfinished survival responses in the body.

You are welcome exactly as you are, and we begin there, together.

Regulate your nervous system

Release stored tension

Feel more calm and grounded

Reconnect with your body

Integrate insights into daily life

Somatic & Nervous System Support

Sessions are guided by the body and move at a comfortable pace. We start with a brief check-in to see what your system is experiencing. You don't have to relive anything.

At the end, we take time to integrate so the nervous system settles and you leave grounded instead of raw.

Triple Vagal Method™

A body-based approach to nervous system regulation and trauma resolution.

What this work is

Grounded in Polyvagal Theory and somatic trauma research

TVM works with the nervous system and the fascia, the connective tissue thought to hold memory, tension, and unfinished survival responses in the body.

This is not massage. It's not energy work in the abstract sense.

It's about supporting the nervous system to complete what it couldn't at the time, and allowing the body to reorganise from the inside out.

How it works

Holding points that support the vagus nerve and the fascia

TVM is a body-based nervous system method. In sessions, I hold points on the body that support the vagus nerve and the fascia, where the body can hold trauma and stress.

These points help the nervous system feel safe. As safety grows, the body can release oxytocin, a hormone linked to connection, trust, and calm, which may help it relax.

From there, the body can let go of held stress, sometimes in big ways (waves of feeling, shaking, movement), sometimes small (a twitch, softening, deeper breath). Both matter. Without force, the body releases when conditions are right.

The nervous system, explained simply

It scans for safety and threat before you think

Your nervous system constantly scans for safety and threat through sensations, tone, touch, breath, and relationships, automatically. From a Polyvagal view, it shifts through states.

Safe

You feel present, connected, able to respond.

Protection

When threat appears, you may move into fight or flight, with anxiety, urgency, tension, or a need to control.

Shutdown

If protection seems impossible, you may freeze, with numbness, collapse, dissociation, or feeling distant.

These are not choices but natural responses shaped by experience. If safety was inconsistent or overwhelming, the system can stay stuck in protection even when things seem calm. That's dysregulation: not something wrong with you, but something that happened to you.

What people often notice

After a session, or over time

less tension and bracing
easier, fuller breathing
fewer automatic reactions in overwhelming moments
emotions moving through instead of getting stuck or flooding
a steadying sense in daily life
being more present and available in relationships

What happens in a session

You don't have to relive anything

We start with a brief check-in to see what your system is experiencing: thoughts, memories, emotions, or very little of any of those.

The body responds to the support I offer. I stay with you, monitor your nervous system, and adjust for safety. At the end, we take time to integrate so the nervous system settles and you leave grounded instead of raw.

Many people describe this as feeling more at home in themselves.

Who this work is for

Who it may support

This work appeals to people who:

feel worn out from always managing themselves
have tried therapy or healing but still feel something unresolved
understand their patterns but feel their body hasn't caught up
notice their nervous system reacts faster than their choices
want real, embodied change without forcing or rehashing everything
are drawn to something grounded, science-informed, and body-led

You don't need to be spiritual, believe anything, or be ready. We start with what's already here.

Sessions and practical details

Guided by the body, at a comfortable pace

Sessions usually last 1.5 to 2 hours, and can be less or more depending on your process. Your first session can be a little longer, to settle in, discuss your needs, and build safety and trust. One session can help you feel the effects. Four sessions often support more steady nervous-system regulation and lasting change.

About Madison

Madison Louise

Somatic therapist, trauma-informed practitioner, ceremonialist and TVM teacher.

I reached this work slowly, by listening, learning, and changing direction over many years.

In my early twenties, I studied psychology, then worked briefly as a florist, drawn to the land and a slower pace. Eventually I returned to what always called me: the body, the nervous system, and healing.

Before I could help others, I had to help myself. I learned to regulate my nervous system, how to slow down and feel what was under coping and performance. I tried many approaches: some gentle, some intense. Still, something was missing.

While living in a small Mexican town, I found the Triple Vagal Method. What mattered wasn't the theory but the experience: real, lasting shifts in my body. Patterns softened, and my nervous system began to respond differently.

TVM didn't replace my earlier training. It brought them together, giving structure and safety to the embodied, relational work I'd been doing and showing what's possible when the nervous system is supported to change from the inside out.

My journey

How I work

I work with the body and nervous system, following each person's pace. Sessions can be quiet and subtle or include bigger releases. Both are part of the same process. We talk when it helps and pause when needed. Nothing is forced or rushed.

I support the body through presence, attunement, and touch, prioritising safety, pacing, and trust. The goal isn't to fix anything but to create conditions for natural re-organization and regulation.

My approach draws on meditation, movement, women's work, ceremony, and body-based methods. TVM brings these together to promote real integration and balance.
