Life-changing outcomes from our 1,500+ alumni

I finally have the language to describe what's happening inside me, to recognize the different states that I'm in. And I've learned that it's okay to feel any type of emotion, there are no bad ones; that crying is something to embrace and something healthy, as emotions flowing through me.

Putting this together changed my life and the lives of those around me.

NSM has transformed my relationship with my nervous system and taught me how to regulate my emotions as needed, leading to an increased depth of personal wellbeing and calm.

This training helped me be more present, ground myself, and regulate my energy through the ups & downs of running a rocket ship startup... Best of all, I have lifetime access to the course materials which lets me visit (and revisit) lessons to better incorporate them into my daily life.

An in-depth, accessible course and a welcoming, emotionally open and intelligent community for anyone seeking to learn about the nervous system and develop skills to experience more regulation, better health and richer experiences of day-to-day life

Thank you Jonny and Ocean. I'm so grateful to have been part of this beautiful course. Words are not enough to describe how grateful how I feel at the end of this course. I am more hopeful and excited that I have control over what the future holds as I know that I have this toolkit to calm my mind in tough situations and be a better person. The main challenge I faced was making impulsive decisions and constant anxious thoughts. I now know that I'm not alone in this journey, the techniques taught give me hope and I'm confident it'll help you as I navigate life. One moment that really stood out for me was the NSDR sessions after a very stressful day, it made me feel so good, honestly I look forward to it now ! I was surprised in a good way on how connected I felt with my participants of my Dojo group, a big shoutout to Alexey and Orne and Liz, thank you.

Something about this experience met me at exactly the right time and shifted me in ways I didn’t see coming ✨ Working with Jonny Miller through Nervous System Mastery was such a meaningful experience for me, both personally and in how I relate to others. I came in with a strong foundation in health and wellness, but this program helped me move from theory into true embodiment and practice. A big part of that was learning to really feel into my body and allow all emotions, which was surprisingly challenging at first. I quickly realized how disconnected I had been, and that awareness became such an important turning point. One of the biggest shifts was recognizing that I’m responsible for my own emotional fluidity, which felt really freeing. What made it even more special was how the whole experience was held. Through Jonny’s leadership, Ocean’s presence, and a truly supportive community, I found myself showing up as my light, joyful, authentic self. It felt safe to be open, to be real, and to express what was coming up without overthinking it. The weekly Relational Dojo and live sessions brought everything into real life in a way that just clicked. I’m now listening to my body more and allowing myself to fully feel what’s there before reacting, creating space not just for myself, but in my interactions with others. There’s a deeper awareness of how connected we all are, and that’s been a really meaningful shift for me 💫 This is work I’m not just understanding, I’m living, and it’s changed how I show up in my relationships and in my day to day life. Thank you to Jonny, Ocean, and this beautiful community for creating a space where I felt safe to be seen, open, and fully myself 🙏 💜

I'm calmer, more relaxed in my presence, able to better slow down and stay with emotions I previously was either resisting, avoiding, trying to push away, fixing or fighting. I feel more confident in my capacity to self regulate and finding my way back to ventral ease and flow with all the practical tools and protocols I now can even more intentionally weave into my already nervous system aware daily rituals.

Thank you so much, Jonny and Ocean, for a truly amazing and life changing experience! You guys are the best, and the safety you create it the community is very impressive and appreciated. Some thoughts I didn't find another place to share in the survey: I loved seeing how you both are continuously curious and learning alongside us throughout the process. It just felt like we were all in it together, which was really nice. Regarding the Edge Challenge, the deadline seemed really rushed, I think it would've been nice and there might've been more submissions if the due date was later. I also personally felt a weird internal tension knowing that there were prizes, like my competitive part was at odds with my part that truly wanted to just learn/practice/benefit from the experience in itself. That might just be a me thing. I would love to continue to support the community somehow moving forward. Please let me know how I can help! Thank you again for this course!

With NSM, I can now appreciate the different parts of myself and hold space to listen to what they’re telling me. Rather than judging my negative emotions, I welcome them, inviting them to reveal more about themselves. Practicing NSDR has also been incredibly helpful, allowing me to find rest during the day. Now, I’m more of an observer of all my feelings instead of judging them. NSM also introduced me to other areas such as Breathwork, Internal Family Systems and Somatic practices. I am looking forward to be a part of this growing empathetic community and following my curiosity to live a wholehearted life.

Learning a new way to live - the way you were always destined to live - where you learn how your nervous system works, how to be in tune with your inner world, how to regulate your emotions (rather than them ruling you!) whilst connecting with a community of like-minded, beautiful souls in a safe and supportive environment

This course has provided me with several missing pieces: 1) a complete framework to organize my knowledge and better understand nervous system regulation 2) how to be more precise and intentional with the practices I am doing 3) and a build-out of my tool kit to enhance my practices. Historically I over relied on meditation and treated all stress as one dimensional but now I find myself trying to locate how I am feeling more often which allows me to determine what I need to do to be most alive in the current situation.

It's a course that allows you to turn into your body and mind to better understand how stressors and emotions have an impact. By building more body and emotional awareness, you can expand your ability to take on life's stressors, joys, and everything in between.

Thank you so much for the beautiful space you held for us. You are amazing human beings. I appreciated so much the care and the love put in all interactions you'd have with us. The course is amazing, the experience is impressive! Keep going guys.

NSM is an exquisite course as they go. The blend of science-based protocols, simplified applications, and community sharing make this a cohort you look forward to connecting with. What stood out in our general shift towards digital learning was the bubble of warmth I felt while taking this course -- even in a timezone that couldn't make the live calls.

It's just a different type of awareness. Pleased to experience sensations and tightness etc in my body without first attaching an emotion to it and that not at need to or have a direct emotion. Then also notice emotion and learn where I'm feeling that. It's a better connection overall that I know is just beginning

Friends have said I seem more grounded. I've implemented a routine to practice NSM every morning

I would def recommend it to friends who are dealing with stress and have extra money and time. I would describe it as a way to reconnect with your body, to improve how you listen to it and learn how to regulate yourself and process your emotions through things like breathing exercises.

THANK YOU! I took this course during a big transition in my life and it was such an incredible gift. I appreciate all you do to bring this work to the world

Learning techniques and being exposed to actionable insights to help me take back control. The guest speakers have also been very helpful to show me new doors to explore. This is one part of a lot of other work I am doing and it has helped with that as well.

Thanks for being such thoughtful people. It shows in the work you do and the community you've built.

The notion that I don't have to 'fix' my anxiety and other 'undesirable' feelings. Also that accepting/processing/feeling those feelings - without over attachment to any story associated with them - is so much more impactful than resisting or holding them

I feel a great deal of warmth and love for this cohort and experience. This iteration truly feels completely new and encompassing, like a huge group hug. I am incredibly grateful to you both!

Just a massive thank you for the time, energy and effort that you have put into creating this space and the resources. Keep up the amazing work!

A course covering a in specificity the nervous system offering tools for working with the nervous system to master a more homeostatic way of being in the world.

More Awareness for interoception and feeling the need to regulating my nervous system throughout the day based on that

Thank you for what you are doing. I am happy to be a part of this movement and look forward to continuing our work together.

More openness (have done IFS, breathwork, and more since) and more confidence (giving less F*cks)

Since taking Nervous System Mastery I'm able to reframe my thoughts and have gained the freedom to respond and not merely react.

I'm hugely grateful for everything you do! And how you do it - with such beautiful energy. THANK YOU. So happy life lead me to find you. I'm inspired to live

This course should be a requirement if you are a human with a nervous system. It will peak your curiosity, give you lots to play with, and transform your experience with your body in the world. My life is different now that I feel that I am willing to let my nervous system move through its full range without fear, knowing that I have tools to bring it into balance. Unexpected benefits might include shifts in perspective, improved emotional intelligence, and a wider window of tolerance to stress. Life in general feels freer and easier to navigate with the knowledge, protocols, and better interoception.

I feel more grounded and at ease. My wife says that I am more stable & present. More humour & fun. More daring. Better at expressing my needs. Better listening skills without getting triggered.

I noticed that I have completed this course! I find it challenging to follow through all the way with online courses and this one was so valuable and engaging that I was motivated to keep going. I've also noticed that I am much more present to my son and my husband when we are together and I think having the tools to return to a ventral vagal state is a key component in doing this

I'm also noticing an overall synergy of good things happening in my life as I give more awareness to interoception and to my emotions. It's led to better conversations, new friends, me remembering to be a bit kinder to myself, and a lot of eye-opening revelations... about some limiting beliefs, the state of nervous system, how i process emotions. It also helped me identify that the missing piece between me and my partner lately was a loss of emotional connection (and we were able to have a deep and fruitful discussion around this).

It was life changing in opening my eyes to option to continue exploring these important concepts. It's hard to distill the concepts into just five weeks while also giving opportunities for practice and community, but you did that. Bravo, and amazing work!

This course and its container has helped me to deepen my capacity to listen to, be present with, belong & accept myself, others, and our greater ecology more fully and wholly. It has supported me in: 1. Fostering a growing capacity to be with myself within my own tendencies to avoid, collapse, dismiss, or shut down to my own emotional experiences, or outwardly project my emotions onto other people and circumstances- largely in part through the framing of this course as not something more to “fix” or “achieve”, but to stay present, curious, and allowing, and the Dojo practices *immensely* supporting me in deepening and heightening interroceptive explorations in relationship with self and others. The first dojo session was startling for me in the depth it led me into- it truly felt like it moved a Mountain within my awareness, simply in having a safe container to see and be seen with permission to feel and sense fully without shame. 2. I’ve noticed an increased tolerance for accepting the shame that often arises around feeling difficult emotions, and I’m more attuned to the tricky ways I’ll sometimes distract myself from feeling with things that “look” like “mindful” activities that are actually just busyness- even my art making and time on the mat. I’m more connected with how to listen and take responsibility for meeting my deepest needs and longings. 3. My capacity to BE WITH OTHERS and accept OTHERS in their own emotional discomfort, without judging, shaming, or attempting to correct, coach, or “fix” them- to simply ALLOW others to be who they are, and to see them in their wholeness, without taking responsibility for their internal experience or blaming myself for their feelings, has shifted dramatically. 4. I’ve even had multiple instances of being with others in the last few weeks where I was aware of how I could remain energetically open and receptive, while also being boundaried, and take full responsibility for my internal experiences of “cringe” without projecting the cringe onto the other person as “bad”. The shift feels subtle, yet profoundly liberating and encouraging. I’ve written so much more, but will leave it here for now :)

Good stuff: Both of you are absolutely amazing. Jonny, thank you so much for the opportunity to join you in this cohort. Since I teach some of this material myself, I wasn't sure how much I'd learn/grow, but I really felt compelled to join. It was a good instinct (yay, interoception). I loved how practical this course was. And I found the "if..then" algorithm + stacking, in particular, game-changing. Techniques that really don't do anything for me on their own, work well stacked. And I now don't have to remember to use them – my algorithm does that for me. Ocean: You are a master at running the show and making every student feel like they're the only one you're focused on. I have no idea how you do your magic, but I have no doubt that it *is* magic. Thank you.

My Internal shift of awareness has greatly improved. Also realising where others around me are falling behind due to lack of the same awareness. I still feel I need to work on myself and be a truer master before I start to share the knowledge esp with certain loved ones. On the whole I feel a great deal calmer and more in control.

Thank you both for the incredible work you’re doing in this world. I truly believe the world is hurting — in ways that run deep, dark, and lonely. More than ever, we need community. We need spaces where like-minded people can come together, share openly, and lift one another up. We need to feel the love, connection, and healing that come from helping each other rise. The work you’re doing is invaluable. For so long, people have felt lost, but movements like this are helping us find our way again. There’s still a long road ahead, yet I have so much faith in the change that’s unfolding. I believe in healing. I believe in building each other up. As a healer, my purpose is to share what I’ve learned so others can grow into their own power — becoming the experts of their own lives and learning to fully believe in themselves. I see that same spirit reflected in the work you do, and it’s deeply inspiring. Thank you for this course and for the opportunity to connect with such a beautiful community. I’m truly grateful, and I’m always willing to help in any way I can. Aloha 🌿

You've helped me unlock a new version of myself that I can't wait to continue discovering. What you're doing is nothing short of groundbreaking, disruptive, inspirational, and at the same time heart-warming.

A really solid introduction to nervous system concepts, valuable practices that are easy to integrate and a community that is engaged and supportive. You can get a ton of value even doing the bare minimum and much more if you go deeper.

It's an online course where you'll learn how your nervous system works and how to feel more resilient in the face of stress, anxiety, shutdown and overwhelm. And it's a great place to start getting into breathwork and more somatic practices.

Enormous gratitude to you all for bringing this work into the world. Your patience and 'solid', gentle presence is very compelling. You are an extraordinary group of people and I am relieved and grateful to be in community with you all. Don't stop doing what you are doing.

This course actually takes you from zero knowledge on the subject to feeling capable of changing your state through simple practices that integrate easily into your life in just five weeks. It truly can be life-changing and my only wish is I'd taken this course sooner!

Massive thank you. Please continue with your invaluable work

An online course for understanding everything about your nervous system: What it is, how it works and how to stay regulated in any environment

Once I tried the calming protocols while driving home from work feeling particularly wired and calming down almost instantly I knew these protocols will save my life. It has truly been a phenomenal experience going through this course

NSM is a terrific way to learn more about our nervous system, which largely affects how we show up in the world. With this knowledge comes power, and NSM is also helpful in helping us shift our state of being if it is not serving us.

Experiencing big shifts from practice with parts work has been awesome

It is so difficult to pick the biggest one. I came into this course so pummeled and abused and in such dysregulation. The biggest win was the connection to my classmates. To receive their compassion, love, respect, understanding and empathy opened my mind, heart and gut,

Less reactive, less anxious, sleeping better, healthier daily habits

I have increased my commitment to self-regulation and seen genuine gains even through very stressful times

More awareness of breathing and self regulation tools, physiological breaths are very good.

Better awareness, using breath/NSDR to regulate sometimes when needed

Thanks you so much. The course was much more than I had expected. It really feels like I discovered a treasure.

Grateful for how you have impacted me, our group, and the world. I'm grateful to play a small part in the upcoming cohort.

Thank guys, such an epic experience. So beautifully hosted, guided and designed. I couldn't be more grateful for you allowing me to do this but making it financially possible given my current circumstances.

I have tools to speak with and modulate my emotions. Just knowing they are there available is a relief. We never discussed emotions when I grew up...they were just repressed. So I would say I was an emotional juvenile coming into this and this significantly evolved my emotional maturation.

This course has been the most challenging, the most intense and the most rewarding course of my life.

As someone who made a living teaching people how to run these kind of experiences, I can honestly say this is one of the best I've been in - so intentional, thoughtful and practical.

A beautifully conceived and hosted course - with an incredible array of tools, world class experts and remarkable insights. Genuinely life changing. Also a wonderful way to connect with an amazing array of people across the globe, at a profound level. Deeply fun. Very special.

Thank you so much for providing such a life-changing course that has allowed me to better understand myself and my family.

Just wow. This course changed my life. Experiencing, first-hand, how the world shifts depending on the state of my nervous system was incredible. Why wasn't I taught this in school?! Learning I have the ability to change my nervous system, not through my brain, but through processing emotions. Fucking wild! I feel like I've been given a superpower.

The Best Gift for Life that you could get. NS Mastery frameworks will change your life forever and make you see and live everyday like you've never done before.

I feel less jumpy/edgy I give myself more time to do things/get places and I have better boundary setting; which all come with better knowing what I need to stay regulated. Nervous System Mastery taught me how to better understand and read my own inner state and body's messages (stressed tired hyped up?) and how to self-regulate with proven practices and protocols. It gives you more choice and agency over how you're feeling. Plus I really appreciated the live sessions as an opportunity to have an experience with the material and digest and process what we were learning (not getting new content as main focus). To me, this made it WAY better than other courses I've taken.

Thank you so much, Jonny, for creating such a transformative course, and Ocean, for managing this wonderful experience with such care. I truly don't feel ready to part ways. The insights and growth I've gained here will stay with me always. Here's to all the amazing work you both do, and to hoping our paths will cross again in the future!

NS Mastery has had a huge impact on me. I have struggled with anxiety and longed for tools to cope. I am on a self-growth journey, but this has given me fresh direction and I suspect it will have a lasting impact. I now feel my mind and body are connected and that is an extraordinary thing for me. Jonny and Ocean are so knowledgeable and supportive. Thanks so much to both.

Thank you so so much for creating this course, container and community. Money very well spent. You hear 'nervous system' all the time now. I knew it was important to have a healthy nervous system but I had no idea where to start. I'm so pleased that I was referred to NSM. Right place at the right time. I got so much more out of this than if I had read a book. I got the benefit of lots of minds who have read lots of books and practiced for thousands of combined hours. This gave me a much better starting place! The resources will be invaluable and I will be going back to them again and again. Thank you so much also for offering the opportunity to join another cohort. Really really appreciate this and will definitely be taking part in this :-) Finally, I am on a journey of figuring out what I am going to offer the world as part of a career transition. I have been getting in my head about what is possible and what I can/can't do. You have both been an inspiration - thank you! PS - on the previous testimonial question I don't mind my first name being used or first name, initial :-)

Though I feel badly that I wasn't able to attend the live events as I thought I could, I have definitely gained more insight, knowledge, and awareness about the/my nervous system...Last week I have an extremely stressful few events that occured and I was able to tuned into how I went into a dorsal state at night when trying to sleep. Instead of being able to rest, thoughts spun around my brain and my body buzzed with fear and anxiety about how I was going to deal with the current situation. I realized it was triggering a very old space in myself of childhood trauma. A replay of a sense of abandonment and anger was what I was feeling underneath the trigger of the present situation. It was good that I was able to recognize it and name it, though it didn't immediately calm me. But I was able to embrace all those conflicting feelings of the past and present and not spin out of control. That was a different experience. And a positive shift.

I joined the NSM course because I was dealing with intense feelings of grief, anxiety and fear after a loss of my best friend and I wanted to find a way to better hold myself in this experience. I learned a lot of helpful concepts about the nervous system that helped me better understand what is happening inside of me and what practices I can use to regulate myself. Jonny is so genuine and passionate about this topic, which made my experience really energising and supportive. I now have a daily breathwork practice and feel much more capable of holding intensity.

Thank you so much! My gratitude for what you are doing is boundless. I think this kind of work is so valuable for everyone to do. It's one of the many things they "don't teach you in school", but are essential life skills.

I was touched and impressed by your generosity when you guys sent me the calm cards or offered a discount for the course. I think what you are doing is outstanding, and I thank you. I was always touched to receive an email from you both once you knew I was interested in the course. In the curriculum, i loved the copywriting, especially personal stories. and i appreciated all the emails sent after the course was done. Much love, Fleur

Thank you, Jonny and Ocean! What a fantastic bunch of people to learn with and from. Taking away interesting theoretical models and oodles of practices to experiment with. Looking forward to sharing the practices with my son, and in my work. Stay regulated out there! Patrick in Bristol

Your NSM course proves that we can intrinsically be connected from person to person, all over the planet via just our webcam and mic. It's amazing. I feel so much love and gratitude for you. Thank you, Jonny and Ocean 🫶

Many thanks. I still have a few recordings to watch, but I'm grateful I did this course. Thank you for holding space when I needed a little extra and thank you for the work that clearly has gone into this great program and its contents.

Nervous System Mastery has been an invaluable experience where I've learned to pilot the human body and connect more deeply with myself and others.

They are a practical way to put the NSM curriculum into practice, and they are also a way to connect with people who speak the same "language". It's hard to find a way to practice these skills in the real world, but with all of the practice in the dojos, it feels less daunting to try.

I am able to manage the stress on the moment better so it doesn’t impact me in the moment, leading to being more present

Three/four years ago you (and Konni) introduced me to breathwork during what I retroactively now know was burnout. I was frazzled. I went on to self-learn polyvagal theory and then NSM. It’s become such an important part of my life for which I’m ver grateful. Thank you. x

I have been able to find more peace and calmness in a high-stress work environment. I’ve been able to be fully present in a very trying personal situation

Much love to you guys. Also I'm immensely grateful for the generous discount you provided that allowed me to take part in the course during a rough period of my life. Now I'm confident I'll go through it ❤️

Greater awareness of my internal state and understanding and practice with breathing modalities to shift between states.

The ability to start at interoception instead of reactivity is an awesome start. Exploring how feelings impact my body instead just feeling it.

I've noticed an overall shift in my quality of life. There's more fluidity, less anxiousness, I'm also more open socially, more willing to take some risks, I plan more realistically and then change my plans according to my needs more easily. All in all that's a lot of change and I'm very grateful for all of it!

Greater spaciousness and awareness in my own body, meeting and being with so many other amazing humans learning and growing together, feeling inspired by the work that's happening here

I sense there is still space to iterate and make the course flow but you guys have touched on something here that's amazing and I encourage you both to keep going with the course, as well as providing scholarships for folks like myself who benefitted so much from this course but couldn't afford the price.

Thank you guys! amazing job :) let's stay in touch for future collaborations!

Thanks so much for your time and effort both of you have put into this course it a credit to you. Stuff like this should be taught in schools! Thanks again

Thank you, Jonny and Ocean! Your presence throughout these five weeks was warm, caring, supportive, and heartfelt!
