Is this you?
Tired, wired and never really off
- You are exhausted all day, then wide awake at night with your mind racing through tomorrow.
- You wake at 3am and lie there, heart going, unable to get back to sleep.
- Your jaw is clenched and your shoulders sit up near your ears, and you only notice when someone points it out.
- You snap at the people you love over small things, then feel guilty about it.
- Your chest feels tight or your gut is unsettled whenever the pressure is on.
- You cannot sit through a show without picking up your phone.
- You have tried meditation, but lying still makes you more restless, not less.
- A holiday helps for a week, then the same tension is back by Tuesday.
If you nodded at a few of these, you are not broken and it is not a willpower problem. These are common signs of a nervous system stuck in fight or flight: a stress response that switched on and never got its ending. This class is built for exactly that, with movement to release it from your body and sound to help your whole system come back to rest.

How it works
Your 75 minutes, in order
Move it out
Gentle somatic movement, shaking and release work. Nothing athletic and nothing you can get wrong. The aim is to give your body the physical ending to stress it has been waiting for.
Take it home
While you move, we teach you simple tools to regulate your nervous system and switch off on your own, so the reset does not end when class does.
- Somatic shaking to discharge stress
- Breath with a longer exhale
- Ways to come back to your body when your mind is racing
Sound healing
You lie down under a blanket for a full sound healing journey: Tibetan and crystal bowls, layered with live looping and tuned to 396 Hz, 639 Hz and 963 Hz. By now your body is ready to let go, and most people drop deeper than in a sound bath alone.
Why we move first
Adrenaline, cortisol and the missing ending
When something stresses you, your adrenal glands release adrenaline within seconds, then cortisol over the minutes that follow. Both get your body ready to move: heart rate up, faster breathing, muscles braced, blood sugar raised. That is the fight or flight response, and it is designed to end with movement.
Modern stress rarely ends that way. The email, the traffic, the deadline: you sit through it, and the chemistry stays in your system. Cortisol in particular can stay raised for hours, which is associated with feeling wired, sleeping lightly and holding tension in your body.
Then there is everything that never switches off. Wi-Fi, screens, notifications and constant digital noise keep stimulating your nervous system and your energy field all day long. Just "relaxing" is not enough to clear it.
That is why we do not ask you to lie down straight away. The first 15 minutes use movement to burn off what your body mobilised and signal that you are safe. By the time the sound starts, your system can drop into rest instead of fighting it.
An illustration of the idea, not measured data. Adrenaline peaks fast and clears fast. Cortisol rises more slowly and can linger. Movement helps complete the response, and the sound takes you into rest.
Body, mind and energy field
Why working on one layer is not enough
If you have done the therapy, tried the meditation and read the books, and you still land back in the same place, it is usually not a willpower problem. It is a layers problem.
Move the stress out
Stress lives in muscle and fascia as much as in your head. Talking about it does not release it from your shoulders.
In this class: 15 minutes of somatic movement.
Give it the tools
Understanding your patterns is useful, but a nervous system learns through experience and repetition, not explanation.
In this class: tools you practise and take home.
Clear the frequency
Even when the body and mind settle, the field can keep holding the pattern and sending it back.
In this class: 60 minutes of sound at 396, 639 and 963 Hz.
Make it a rhythm
One class resets your day. Weekly resets your baseline.
A single class brings your stress down for a while, and most people feel it that night. But a nervous system that has been switched on for years does not relearn in one hour. It responds to repetition.
Coming weekly is where people tell us things start to hold: they sleep better between classes, react less, and start the day closer to calm. That is the change the regulars in our films talk about.
"Looking back at my first bath, I was a nervous wreck. 6 months later, it's incredible how different I feel and am as a person... My first few sessions were pretty intense as my nervous system was still in overdrive. So if you experience the same, have faith that the good stuff really comes through after session 3 or 4."
An illustration, not measured data. Each class is a dip. Over weeks, the line you start from comes down.
No lock-in
Buy a pack, then book each class from the timetable above. Cheaper than paying casually every week.
Weekly, made easy
A set number of classes every month, so the weekly rhythm is already decided. See what each membership includes.
What people say
After a reset
★★★★★ 5.0 from 85 Google reviews
"Just walked out of a nervous system reset sound session with Ange and feel so amazing!! I've been to a LOT of sound healing sessions over the years and I'm super impressed... the perfect environment to completely switch off."
"My body has always been in fight or flight and this has finally allowed me a moment to feel neither and actually reset my nervous system."
"After 2 sessions with Ange I have felt physically better with the added benefit of having a strategy to regulate my nervous system which has over a life time of fight or flight existence hung onto trapped energy."
"I went for 4-5 consecutive weeks while going through an unknown health condition... I can't express how much calmer, more energised, and less anxious I felt in the days following each session."
"I have previously struggled to meditate on my own but I feel completely at ease in these sessions with Ange. The day after my second session I woke up feeling completely renewed and less stressed."
"My sister and I went to our first (recharge) session yesterday and we checked in with each other this morning. We both had the best nights sleep we've had in ages."
"The singing bowls and gongs wrapped around us, melting away every bit of stress we'd been carrying. We left feeling lighter, deeply rested, and so much more aligned."
"I have been dealing with a severe stress for long time and getting sick frequently... every day after the session I have been feeling better with myself."
Questions
Before you book
Do I need to be fit or flexible?
No. The movement is gentle and you go at your own pace. There is nothing athletic about it, and you can sit out anything that does not feel right.
What should I wear?
Something you can move in for the first 15 minutes and lie down in for the next 60. Warm socks help. There is a full guide on what to wear.
How is this different from a Sound Bath?
A Sound Bath is all sound from the start. Nervous System Reset, Sound Healing & Somatics opens with 15 minutes of movement and tools first, which helps if you arrive wired and find it hard to lie still.
What tools will I learn?
Simple ones you can use anywhere: somatic shaking, breath with a longer exhale, and ways to come back to your body when your mind is racing. The point is that you can do them at home, at your desk or before bed.
How often should I come?
Weekly is where most people notice the change start to hold. One class shows you what it feels like.
Is it okay if I get emotional or shaky?
Yes. Shaking, tears and big yawns are common as your nervous system lets go. It passes, and nobody is watching.
