Nervous System Mastery is a 4-Month Mentorship Program for therapists who want science backed everyday tools to treat stress and overstimulation. For the clinician who wants more than deep breathing and body scans.

If you are reading this I know you care deeply about your client’s mental wellbeing and your own.

You teach coping strategies in some form all day long and think about your clients long after the session ends. And then you go home and in your own life you feel the stress and dysregulation creeping in.

It’s not like you don’t know what to do.

Bottom up, sensory based regulation is not taught in many places.

But when your system is flooded in real life, sensory processing is necessary to turn of the stress response and regain access to the thinking brain (where all those coping strategies live!)

Nervous System Mastery isn’t about deep breathing and body scans. It is learning to read nervous system states & apply personalized sensory processing practices so you can feel effective and empowered as a practitioner.

Nervous System Mastery gives you bottom up sensory strategies so that you can teach and use sensory regulation techniques in daily life.

When you learn how to regulate yourself with sensory input, you not only feel less stressed, but you teach regulation better.

Your vagus nerve is responsible for the gas and brake pedal to your fight or flight response.

80% of its fibers are sensory.

If you aren’t using sensory processing, bottom up techniques you are not teaching yourself or your clients how to move out of fight or flight in an effective manner.

I mean just imagine if you could….

  • Quickly downshift your own nervous system between and during sessions, and especially before you go home

  • Teach clients what is behind their overstimulation and what to do about it

  • Have nervous system techniques beyond deep breathing and body scans that are practical and effective

  • Feel empowered and inspired as a therapist, even when your caseload is full of clients who are feeling stuck

Next Round: January 2027

Teaching nervous system regulation, starts with regulating yourself.

  • First we go through the sensory profile (standardized assessment) and sensory interview for you. Once your sensory plan is made, you will learn how to administer both for clients.

  • We review nervous system states and how these show up for us clinicians and for our clients. We learn how to help clients identify their own nervous system states and how to attach state specific sensory tools in ways that are practical and can happen no matter what the stress levels are.

  • Whether it is integrating this into your own life, figuring out how to interpret sensory interview/profile results for clients or how to make sensory strategies that actually work, there is time and space to discuss all of it in this program. Case studies (ones I bring to the table or from your caseload) as well as practice teaching and discussing regulation is built into this program.

Things People Say About Working With Me

I realized as therapists who work with mostly new moms (and are mothers ourselves) we were lacking these "bottom up approaches" to understanding our client's "why" behind their overstimulation symptoms and needed practical tools to help them regulate themselves (and thus in turn offer their kiddos a more regulated version of parenting). My therapists said they felt so empowered and inspired after the training thanks to Jessica's science backed information and practical everyday tools that we can start applying with our clients today!

-Megan

Turns out I was functioning in a fight or flight dysregulated state much of the day which didn’t feel good for anyone and even as a therapist I was unaware of how much that was happening and affecting me and my whole family. I now have many more helpful strategies on how to calm my nervous system both proactively and in the moment and feeling SO MUCH BETTER. Overall everything has shifted into a more empowered and positive place of knowing how to help me and my entire family. 

-Audra

I am moving through my dysregulation so much faster because I know specifically what sensory coping skill to use based on what my system needs. I am able to better help my clients (and my own kiddos) identify what their nervous system needs now that I know what to look for during a tantrum. Working with you takes coping skills to the next level. It will help you regulate faster and more accurately instead of trying generic coping skills.

Regulated Mom In Real Life


Hey there! 👋 I’m Jessica Addeo. For the first 15 years of my career I worked as a pediatric occupational therapist. I meticulously studied sensroy processing and worked to help regulate kids in schools, at home and in the OT gym. What was always missing was mom. I could regulate kids in a controlled environment with all the fancy equipment. I could bring mom into the room and show her everything. But if mom was dysregulated, it wasn’t going to land. Not because she didn’t care or want to help her child, her nervous system legit did not have the bandwidth. And then I became a mom myself and I lived it. I knew I needed to reach the moms. Within my first year of business, I noticed an interesting trend. More than half of my clients were talk therapists. They came to me because despite teaching coping strategies all day, they couldn’t execute these strategies once they went home. They were dysregulated. Once they learned how to do this work for themself, they wanted to bring this to their clients. And from that space, this mentorship was born.

When I’m not teaching about the nervous system to anyone who will listen, I’m regulating in all the ways myself. Smoothie through a straw, pumpkin candles and Gilmore Girls are my current faves.

Q&A:

  • The nervous system is behind everything you do. If you aren't aware of how to tap into your client's nervous system, you won’t be able to support them as deeply in moments of stress. If you want to get rid of that “stuck” feeling for you and them, this is the missing piece.

  • This training is for professionals who want to incorporate nervous system science into their work. Mental health professionals, OT, PT, SLP, nurse practitioners, coaches, Pilates instructors, teachers…

  • You will have tangible and practical strategies to infuse into your current offerings. You will also have language and skills to teach nervous system states to clients to help them identify and better manage stress.

  • I'm an Occupational Therapist with a Bachelor's in Therapeutic Studies and a Master's in Occupational Therapy from Boston University. I'm also a certified life coach and clinical hypnotherapist, with two decades of experience helping people regulate their nervous systems.

  • Your nervous system is your secret weapon for being both relaxed and productive. Whether you're a therapist, teacher, boss, or business owner — you'll show up as the calmest, most grounded person in any room.

  • If you're using this training to support your business or profession, yes, it's a tax-deductible expense.

  • We meet weekly for 4 months. As people enroll into the group we will find a day and time that work for all. We understand that things come up and as such everything is recorded but we deeply encourage live participation. Calls are one hour in length (we may run over to leave room for questions, but never more than 15ish minutes)

  • Yes, I lead every group session and private coaching session. You also can message me and the group in Slack in between sessions.

  • The next program begins the first week in January. This program runs on an as requested basis, if you want something sooner (and have a small group that would participate) reach out and lets talk .
