🤔 Ever wondered… Why does walking calm anxiety?Why do babies settle when we move? And why does stillness sometimes feel worse than motion?
In this episode, I discuss the science of the vestibular system - a foundational sensory system that plays a powerful role in nervous system regulation, emotional safety, sleep, and stress resilience.
Grounded in neuroscience, sensory-integration research, and trauma-informed physiology, this conversation explores how rhythmic, predictable motion helps signal safety to the brain - for babies, kids, and adults alike.
You’ll learn why movement isn’t a sleep crutch or a bad habit, but biological nourishment, and how to practically incorporate vestibular input into everyday life in gentle, intuitive ways.
