What is TVM

The Triple Vagal Method (TVM™) was developed after 7 years of applied research and thousands of documented sessions. The Triple Vagal Method is a somatic method that aims to release stress and trauma while increasing vagal tone through physical manipulation of the main branches of the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is responsible for fight or flight, freeze, and social engagement responses in the body. We engage the branches responsible for these responses safely in each TVM™ session. This is done through physical touch and stimulation of the nervous system; safely, effectively and rapidly.
TVM™ is an applied modality based on the polyvagal theory.

How does TVM work?

TVM™ actively engages the polyvagal nervous system to manually stimulate the it to shift from sympathetic to parasympathetic, and to release oxytocin in a calculated approach to rebuild the polyvagal tone and support a more parasympathetic dominant baseline.

​

We understand that the body stores different types of stress and trauma in different parts of the nervous system, soft tissue and even organs. This bottom-up, somatic approach can stimulate the vagus nerve to switch from sympathetic (fight or flight) to the parasympathetic system (rest and digest).

How is TVM applied?

When applying The Triple Vagal Metho (TVM™) , we rely primarily on physically stimulating the nervous system to shift from fight or flight to rest and digest. This is done by pressing onto specific pressure points of the body. 

Where are sessions offered?
