This program does not license you to be a hands-on practitioner of any sort. If you are already a licensed hands-on practitioner you can certainly apply these tools to your current practice, but neuro coaches are not licensed medical professionals.

This coach does not license you as a therapist or social worker. This is a coaching certification and participants should stay within their scope of practice — as a coach — unless they are a licensed professional adding these tools to their existing practice.

Yes. NSI is ICF accredited and approved for 30 CCEs (21 Core Competency and 9 Resource Development) and 40 CEUs by the Louisiana Physical Therapy Board.

We are continually applying for and expanding the units awarded so these numbers may change from year to year. For healthcare providers, if your board allows you to submit an outside course for approval, we provide you with the material to get it approved for your license.

Please note that NSI certification is valid for one year after completion of the program. To maintain certification as an NSI practitioner requires 12 NSI CEUs annually.

"ICF Accredited" indicates that this program has received accreditation from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). This designation signifies that the curriculum you’ll be learning upholds the high quality and rigorous standards set by the ICF. In short, according to the International Coaching Federation, this certification is legit.

This program does not certify you as a coach with the ICF. You will, however, have completed an ICF-accredited training, giving you training hours toward your ICF credential if you choose to pursue that path. To become ICF credentialed requires additional training hours, a certain number of coaching hours, mentoring, performance evaluation, and passing an exam.

NSI, more than anything, will level you up and teach you how to coach in a way that is transformative, AND it will help you get clients WITHOUT social media or becoming a techie. In fact, one of the biggest challenges for coaches the coaching hours requirement. Many struggle to reach the 100 hours. Accelerate will teach you many authentic ways you can coach more and coach sooner rather than later.

Somatic Experiencing is a therapeutic modality primarily focused on processing trauma and emotional experiences by tuning into bodily sensations. It involves exploring and understanding how trauma manifests in the body and using that awareness to facilitate healing.

On the other hand, Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI) offers a broader educational approach centered on the functions of the brain and nervous system. It provides practical tools aimed at repatterning and rehabilitating the nervous system to enhance resilience and regulation. NSI explores the neuroscience behind trauma and chronic stress, equipping individuals with insights into sensory input systems and brain integration.

While SE concentrates on trauma processing and emotional release, NSI extends beyond that, offering a daily practice regimen and tangible tools for nurturing nervous system health. It emphasizes creating a sense of safety within the body, especially beneficial for individuals who struggle with interpreting bodily sensations.

NSI's focus on regulation and capacity-building within the nervous system enhances the effectiveness of techniques like SE, enabling deeper exploration and integration into daily life. Moreover, NSI provides a more extensive understanding of neuroscience, educating participants on brain function, anatomy, and information processing.

While SE primarily operates on a body-based level, NSI directly engages with the nervous system and its input systems, including visual, vestibular, peripheral nerves, and the vagus nerve. NSI operates within an applied neurology framework, offering not only trauma resolution but also tools for enhancing performance, behavior change, and personal development.

While both SE and NSI address healing and resilience, their approaches differ significantly. SE focuses on trauma processing through bodily sensations, whereas NSI provides a comprehensive framework grounded in neuroscience, offering practical tools for nervous system health and personal growth.

NSI advances traditional approaches by integrating vagus nerve health with a comprehensive understanding of its interactions with other bodily systems and structures. While conventional methods often focus on isolated vagal stimulation, NSI integrates insights from neurophysiology, biomechanics, and systems biology to address how mechanical forces and systemic dysfunctions affect vagus nerve function.

We explore how vagus nerve health is influenced by the interconnectedness of bodily systems, including the autonomic nervous system, cardiovascular health, and musculoskeletal alignment.

Furthermore, we examine how mechanical stress and structural imbalances impact vagal tone and function, offering a more nuanced view of the vagus nerve’s role in overall health.

And finally, we teach actionable tools designed to not only enhance vagal function, but bring it into harmony with other physiological systems to give your clients the most direct path to their highest potential.

NSI is here to equip leaders with the tools to work with their nervous system, increasing their capacity to grow, expand, be visible, and lead from a regulated and grounded space. The truth is high performers often carry a high stress load, with underlying patterns of complex trauma and stress responses. These skills may lead to success, but at the cost of physical health, the ability to embody and enjoy achievements, and the capacity to relax and enjoy life. Addressing these underlying issues in the nervous system is crucial for further growth.

The skills born from dysregulation and stress responses only take us so far. To truly lead a team and reach new levels of visibility, requires the skill to work with the nervous system at a deep level to build resilience and capacity.

NSI is not just about trauma. Yes, parts of the course focus on understanding how stress and trauma impact the nervous system to become deeply trauma-informed practitioners, but it is both deeper and broader than that. Everyone has a brain and a nervous system. We all react to stress, regardless of our developmental experiences. By learning to work with our operating system, creating positive adaptations, and truly inhabiting our bodies, we enhance performance in all areas of life. The growth is incredible.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader of an organization, or an activist working to create significant change, working with your brain and nervous system creates massive changes in all areas of your life.
