What is the Triple Vagal Method®?
The Triple Vagal Method® - TVM™ is a method of hands on healing that seeks to regulate the nervous system and release stored trauma from the body while increasing vagal tone. The method was developed after 7 years of applied research and thousands of documented sessions and has the ability to complete the trauma cycle, healing patterns of disassociation and dysregulation, and restoring the body to a state of safety and peace.
The Triple Vagal Method® TVM™ is a safe and highly effective solution for many people to reduce stress, decrease negative patterns, and resolve trauma, ultimately resulting in nervous system regulation and optimization. We can liberate the nervous system into a more optimized state, experiencing heightened states of joy, love, and peace, and may even experience the reversal of mental and physical health symptoms.
Alison is currently accepting new TVM™ clients. To schedule an individual TVM™ session, please book below. New Clients, please click here to fill out your TVM™ intake form.
How does TVM™ work?
TVM® actively and safely engages the nervous system, specifically the vagus nerve, via a hands on approach, to manually stimulate oxytocin release in an intentional effort to rebuild vagal tone. The vagus nerve is responsible for fight or flight, freeze, and social engagement responses in the body.
This modality allows Neuroplasticity to take place and for the body and nervous system to rebuild itself in the fastest, most effective, and safest way; as a means to resolving trauma and calming the nervous system. This is done by stimulating the nervous system to complete the trauma cycle, releasing any trapped emotions, and breaking down any calcification that has occurred in the fascia (tissue) as a result of trauma.
