What happens when you get the right approach for your symptoms
"Noticed a sense of calm washing over me. My migraine decreased to tolerable. My tremors and tics and weakness eased... I felt like everything was just a little more possible. Hope returned for a better rest of my week. I did more with less intense symptoms!"

"So I started playing catch with a lacrosse stick with my son and now I can put my head up without getting dizzy".

“Overall, I am really proud of using my tools and navigating every nervous-system trigger this week has thrown at me.”
- Sarah, a person with FND, POTS, EDS
“The trip to the grocery store was much easier. I didn't even notice the music. I didn't need to wear earplugs. I could read the signs easier. I was able to organize my thoughts and bought everything I needed without using a list (because I forgot to make one before I got there). It was a very successful trip!"
- Julie, a person with FND, from our last workshop

Meet Your Host
Hi! I'm Julie Hershberg.
Neurologic physical therapist with 24 years treating complex neurological conditions who also lives with a chronic condition.
I’ve also been managing a chronic condition of my own. I live with dysautonomia and rheumatoid arthritis, so I also live in flare days and manage my energy on the daily. (I also found ways to build a life where I rarely think about my diagnoses now).
Thousands of people have come to me with the same story: they’ve done research, tried specialists, followed every protocol, and tried their best to advocate for themselves, but their bodies still won’t cooperate, and they aren’t experiencing lasting relief.
I’ve run one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary FND programs and center of excellence for EDS for 13 years, and I built this workshop from the exact strategies I’ve used to help my clients (and myself) manage symptoms for long-lasting relief.
Your Autonomic Nervous System Isn’t JUST the Vagus Nerve.
It’s a Whole Map
And generic hacks are designed to fix just that one nerve.
That’s why nothing sticks.
She Spent 12 Years Being Told Everything Looks Normal
She has FND.
For 12 years, every test came back the same way: everything looks normal.
Her body told a different story.
No one had ever mapped what her autonomic nervous system was doing.
She’d just been handed the same short list, over and over: breathe, relax, try to manage the stress.
Once we built her a real plan --
the sensory workthe vestibular piecethe pacing
the pieces nobody had shown her-- everything changed.
She’s back to running.
Holding her grandkids.
Traveling again.
This is what’s possible with the whole picture, not just one dial.
That’s what Beyond the Vagus Nerve is built for -- so you can start building that same map for yourself.
This workshop is for you if:
-
You’ve done humming, breathwork, and mindfulness, but your body still won’t cooperate
-
You’ve been told your symptoms are “just stress” or “your anxiety” and you know that’s not the whole story
-
You’re tired of applying generic wellness techniques that don’t address your body’s patterns
-
You’ve built a scattered pile of tips, facts, and information from different providers and sources, but nothing feels like a clear plan forward
-
You’re living with FND, POTS, EDS/HSD, dystonia, or another complex “zebra” condition, and you’re ready for a real explanation grounded in (mechanisms), not vague tips
You’ll leave with a map, evidence-based mechanism, and a real starting point for less than the price of a single copay!

Frequently Asked Questions.
I can't afford to spend money on another thing that doesn't help.
That's exactly why this is $27, not $270. It's built so you can try the approach — get your autonomic MAP, practice and guidance with Julie — before deciding whether you want more structured support.
Can I use this alongside my current PT, OT, or neurologist?
Yes — this is designed to complement your existing care, not replace it. When we create your autonomic MAP together, you can print it and bring t to appointments, so you and your providers are working from the same information instead of you re-explaining your symptoms from scratch every time.
What if I need more support than a workshop can give me?
This is meant to be your first step, not your only one. If you find you want live sessions, community, and an ongoing team once you've worked through it, that's exactly what the brain+body Community is for — no pressure, just an option if you get there.
Do you need to be part of some other program to join?
No. There’s no prerequisite and nothing else required. This is a standalone two-hour workshop for twenty-seven dollars — come exactly as you are, whatever you already know or don’t know about your nervous system.
What about IST or other conditions?
This isn’t built around one diagnosis. It’s built around autonomic nervous system patterns that show up across FND, POTS, IST, EDS/HSD, dystonia, and other complex conditions. If your nervous system is dysregulated, this applies to you, whether or not you see your exact diagnosis listed here.
What if I cannot attend for 2 hours?
The workshop is designed with breaks and practices and you can join us from anywhere, any position (in bed, lying, sitting, standing, dancing).
Stop Guessing What Your
Autonomic Nervous System Needs.
Together, we’ll identify your patterns, practice tools in real time, and create a clear, actionable plan on where to start taking back control of your life.

What is possible for your life?
“Less dramatic HR swings and decreases head pressure/ear ringing when I transition, overall much better tolerance to sustained standing for even a couple minutes... less dread with transitions, did not feel the need to immediately start moving to help limit the discomfort of the symptoms”
- Beth, living with POTS
"I noticed that my body was calmer and I was actually able to relax a little bit... I was able to get some time where my body wasn't on overdrive or worrying about the next thing that needed to get done".
- Kate, living with FND
"Managed a 2-hour trip to a funeral, luncheon, and family time using a worry stone, sunglasses, and a weighted blanket on the ride home: "I felt calm in my body."
- Evie, living with FND
