Have you ever tried to sleep with a smoke alarm chirping in the middle of the night?
You lie there, exhausted, but your body stays tense — waiting for the next shrill beep.
That’s what it feels like when your nervous system is stuck in overdrive.
And for many women over 40, that “alarm” is quietly sabotaging your body from the inside out — making it harder to lose fat, digest food, feel calm, and just… feel like yourself again.
You’ve probably tried eating cleaner. Exercising more. Maybe cutting calories.
But no matter what you do, you still feel tired, bloated, moody, and stuck.
It’s not because you’re weak.
It’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
It’s because your body’s invisible control center — your nervous system — is caught in a loop.
Today I want to share what I call CalmerMoves™:
— what they are
— how they help
— and why finding the right one for your unique nervous system is the missing piece to your health, energy, and mood.
What Are CalmerMoves™?
CalmerMoves™ are a set of proprietary physical maneuvers I developed to target specific “Tension Muscles.”
These are not stretches or exercises in the usual sense.
They’re precise, subtle movements that use your breath and certain muscle contractions to send a clear signal to your brain:
✨ We’re safe now. You can relax.
When your body believes it’s safe, amazing things start happening:
✅ Digestion improves
✅ Bloating subsides
✅ Fat metabolism wakes up
✅ Hormones begin to balance
✅ Energy and focus return
CalmerMoves™ work by addressing those hidden “Tension Muscles” — muscles that stay tight because your nervous system thinks there’s still a threat, even when there isn’t.
Why Are These Tension Muscles a Problem?
When you experience stress, anxiety, trauma, or even just chronic busyness, your body reflexively tightens certain deep muscle groups as part of its fight-or-flight response.
But here’s the kicker:
If those muscles never get the message to release — because the feedback loop never makes it back to the higher centers of the brain — they stay tight.
And they keep sending danger signals to your nervous system.
Which keeps cortisol elevated.
Which messes with everything: digestion, libido, fat-burning, mood, immunity, energy… you name it.
This is why I call it “living with the parking brake on.”
You can still move, but it’s harder, louder, more exhausting — and over time, it burns you out.
What Keeps the Nervous System Stuck?
Even if life looks calm now, your nervous system may still be stuck in high-alert because of hidden stressors.
Here are some of the most common ones I see:
💔 Held emotions & unprocessed trauma
— Grief, sadness, fear, or anger that was never fully expressed.
— Emotional repression tells your body “we’re still in danger.”
🪢 Past injuries & scar tissue
— Old injuries that weren’t fully rehabbed can create adhesions in your fascia, distorting the body’s internal “map” and keeping it tense.
📉 Sedentary lifestyle & weak proprioception
— When you don’t move much, your nervous system loses touch with your body — increasing uncertainty and stress signaling.
🩹 Chronic pain & depression
— When your body or mind hurt, your nervous system expects more hurt — and stays in defense mode.
One client of mine, let’s call her Lisa, came to me after trying every diet and workout she could find.
She was exhausted, puffy, anxious, and feeling hopeless.
Within just two weeks of practicing the right CalmerMove™ for her nervous system type, she slept through the night, lost noticeable bloat, and said, “I finally feel like my body isn’t fighting me anymore.”
Why CalmerMoves™ Work
Here’s what’s happening under the hood:
🧠 They interrupt the feedback loop between your body and brain — telling your nervous system you’re safe.
🌬 They activate your vagus nerve, which improves gut motility, nutrient absorption, and calms the heart rate.
🎯 They restore proprioception — your body’s sense of where it is in space — helping it feel stable and safe.
📉 They lower cortisol and let your hormones, mitochondria, and immune system recover.
And unlike random deep breathing or stretching, CalmerMoves™ are designed specifically for the muscles that matter most — the ones directly tied to nervous system tension.
Why You Need the Right CalmerMove™
Here’s the thing: not all stress looks the same — and neither does your nervous system pattern.
Some women are the:
🌪 Worn-Out Warrior — always doing, pushing, striving… until they crash.
🧠 On-Edge Thinker — stuck in their head, overthinking everything.
… and there are five more patterns we see all the time.
Each one responds best to a specific CalmerMove™.
Using the wrong one can feel like trying to unlock a door with the wrong key — frustrating and ineffective.
That’s why I created a short quiz to help you figure out your nervous system type and the CalmerMove™ that will work best for you.
