Welcome to the Nervous System Informed Parenting Certification
Hi, I’m Celestyna.
I’m a trauma-informed parent coach. My professional training has been focused on polyvagal theory, developmental trauma, and neuroscience.
As an autist, I have a lifetime of first-hand, lived experience with a nervous system that is predisposed to live in an active threat response. I have personally experienced interventions that “work for everyone” not work for me, due to my own nervous system “presets.”
Every practitioner is told to “find a niche.” My “niche” is bridging the gap between nuanced, complex clinical knowledge and the painful challenges inherent in the parenting context and parenting lineage of Western cultures.
My gift is transmuting advanced clinical information into pragmatic knowledge and skills for parents who are longing for something more powerful and more nuanced than well meaning gentle parenting strategies that don’t seem to translate for their unique family situation, which often contains some combo of neurodivergence and trauma.
We are going to go deep (a lot of this I learned in specialized and advanced trainings) and geek out on “nervous system fluency” and how it impacts parenting!
At the end of the training, you’ll receive Nervous System Informed Parenting Certificate. This is to honor that you have chosen to go above and beyond nervous system and gentle parenting basics, putting in resources, time and effort and integrating a wealth of new, critical knowledge.

Stuck in a shame-inducing parenting pattern you wish you could finally break?
Are you edging or already in full-blown parenting burnout?
Do you suspect you and your child or you and your partner have a “nervous system mismatch?” Eg, one person is highly anxious while the other person seems to not have any worry? Or, one person needs constant stimulation and movement while the other needs lots of stillness and rest?
Are you or your child neurodivergent and do you feel like you are dealing with a nervous system that is particularly touchy or fragile?
Do you or your child go from regulated to dysregulated in the blink of an eye, seemingly without any chances to intervene or de-escalate?
Get ready for life-saving, life-changing information and strategies!

I’m taking the FOUNDATIONAL lesson (Nervous Systems 101) I teach in my signature parenting program and expanding it into a whole in-depth training rich with theory, examples and pragmatic “how-tos.” Your parenting is about to change forever - for real life.
You’ll ALSO get the time and space YOU deserve -
The lessons are self-paced: dripped one per week but with lifetime access
They are available in audio format as well as visual (for my multi-taskers)
There is real time + ample support from ME but the support is asynchronous (eg, no live sessions to attend, but still timely + detailed replies to any questions - either text or audio memo format!)
The asynchronous support is extended indefinitely after the course content officially finishes dropping - like all of my program alumni, you’ll get invited to my parenting membership community (a value of $999)

In addition to parenting-focused nervous system education and practical strategies, you’ll also get weekly “games,” to help you with embodying and practicing the material - to encourage you to move from cognition to experience + integration.

I’m taking boring nervous system stuff and alchemizing it into critical, applicable knowledge for parents.
What if you could finally shifting a parenting trigger? (If you’re a parent, you know lol)
That’s right - at the beginning of the certification training, we’ll pick ONE parenting “pattern of protection” we want to explore and track how it shifts as you work with it throughout the course, applying the interventions you are learning.
