IT'S IMPORTANT...BUT WHAT IS IT, REALLY?
Why We Overlook the Vagus Nerve
In pelvic rehab, we often focus only on local dysfunction. Yet the vagus nerve influences pain, autonomic regulation, digestion, and the patient’s overall healing environment.
We know the nervous system is important, but our only tool is breathing exercises
We aren’t sure what we can actually do in the clinic to affect the nervous system
We aren’t confident in sending the patient home with vagus nerve techniques.
Without clear guidance, most clinicians ignore or underutilize this powerful pathway — and patients miss out on its benefits.

FAQs
There are a lot of topics that are incredibly important to our specialty but that don't really warrant their own full course. Instead of cramming them into another course, we wanted to make it more accessible for anyone who was struggling with that particular topic.
The information is shorter, more digestable and focused and immediately affects your clinical practice.
We originally did the masterclass live for those who were able to be online and now the recording is available for everyone! You'll get access to the Q&A following the class as well to address all your questions. You'll have lifetime access to the information in the Masterclass.
In this masterclass, you’ll learn how to confidently incorporate vagus nerve work into your clinical care. We’ll cover the foundational science of what the vagus nerve is, how it influences the nervous system, and why it matters in pelvic health.
You’ll get hands-on, clinician-led techniques as well as patient-led tools to support regulation outside of the clinic. We’ll go beyond breathwork to show you practical ways to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and improve patient outcomes. You’ll also learn how to talk about vagus nerve techniques with patients and integrate them naturally into your sessions—no fluff, just evidence-informed strategies you can start using right away.
No! We've had students all the way up to those with decades of experience go through the class. Some things may be review for those who have been in the field for a while, but hopefully you benefit from a new way of thinking about vagus nerve and if it even highlights one new technique to implement it will be worth it for your patients!
Yes, it's eligible for 1.5 contact hours! You'll receive a Certificate of Completion with the contact hours and are welcome to list it or submit it for credit (depending on your state requirements). Of course, there is no obligation for you to submit it for CEUs if you choose not to.
Yes! Courses are all online and let you go at your own pace. You can go back and re-watch the material as often as you'd like with lifetime access. There will also be recorded Q&A sessions that answer common questions.
Online courses make the material much more accessible to everyone without the additional costs of flights, hotels or time away from family.
For skills labs (where appropriate) we use both real-life volunteers and detailed pelvic models to show techniques.
Yes, all Rising courses are specifically created by Nicole to address major needs in the field. It's the material and framework she's taught to her own staff at PelvicSanity and to thousands of pelvic health practitioners (online and in person).
