Right now it feels like an endless struggle with your child’s behaviour. They’re irritable and cranky and so are you.
The whisper inside is becoming louder, questioning if you’re doing the best you can for your child.
You’ve already tried every other behavioural/language/conscious/attachment parenting hack on the 'Gram - but nothing seems to make a difference.
And to add to that - when you’ve been to other practitioners they’ve told you “that’s just what kids do”...
But you KNOW intuitively there’s something not quite right and there’s a piece of the puzzle you’re missing.
It makes sense you feel overwhelmed and burnt out because up until now you’ve been focused on behaviour management instead of the part of the body that influences these behaviours - The Vagus Nerve.
It’s the largest nerve in the body and wanders around the body, influencing digestion, gut microbiome, heart function and immune health - it influences EVERYTHING.
The behaviour challenges you’re currently experiencing with your child aren’t made up in your mind and they won’t disappear simply by letting them be.
Awareness is the first step with the nervous system and once you begin to narrow down on what is REALLY happening with your child and understand the role the vagus nerve plays - that’s when you start to see changes.
Because if you're doing all the things and getting nowhere, it's time to look at the internal environment.
Trust your intuition Mama.
Introducing..
Vagus Nerve for Mums and Children
A life-changing 10 week group immersive experience to know and understand you and your child’s nervous system.
This program focuses on you AND your child so you’ll learn how to work within your own and your child’s nervous capacity - to regulate and co-regulate.
You’ll receive the guidance to get clear on what is REALLY happening with your child and the tools you need to apply to see changes in behaviour even as your child grows and changes.
Instead of feeling like you’re always in a stressed out state - at the end of the 10 weeks you’ll:
Know how to rewire your nervous system, and impact your children’s development too
Feel empowered and encouraged because you understand how the vagus nerve works and influences behaviour
Actually see results from what you’re putting into action
Know that you’re not alone and feel confident in your parenting skills and being able to respond to your child where they’re at
Enjoy being a Mum and have more capacity for your children to give them the attention you deeply desire to give them
This is unlike any other group coaching program on the vagus nerve and parenting, because you’ll look at not only the emotional aspects, but the physical and metabolic aspects, that all integrate together to manifest in 'vagal tone'.
If you’ve tried all of the remedies and visited all of the practitioners, but there’s still a missing puzzle piece - let’s find it together.
The structure of this offering honours mums putting their kids first.
There are 6 modules, over 6 weeks
However, calls are spread over 10 weeks
I don’t want you feeling overwhelmed or “getting behind” if your child is sick one week, or you’re so sleep deprived you can’t fathom learning something new.
I have structured the timing of these calls to allow wiggle room for real life.
When you sign up for this group coaching program you receive:
Recorded lessons each week to watch (and rewatch!) whenever you need
Corresponding PDF guides for the weekly lessons, for the more visual/reading learners
Six x 60min LIVE group coaching calls with Dr Carrie
A group chat thread to build a like minded community of Mums who are all rooting for each other
You’ll learn all about the vagus nerve, how it helps you and your child regulate and experience the world, and what happens when it goes awry.
And of course, how to help yourself (and your kids).
Let’s look at the content in a bit more detail..
Week One - Learning what the vagus nerve does, the different types of nervous system responses, and the stress response in general. We will discuss this in terms of you as a mother as well as your baby/child. Discover the power of self-awareness and how to hone in on it.
Week Two - Getting clear on our own nervous system state, and learning how to pick the state of our child - Learn the difference between us as adults and our children’s vagal tone. This process can be quite eye opening and help you make shifts immediately.
Week Three - Learn tools to activate your vagus nerve and regulate your nervous system - These tools are designed to bring your nervous system into coherence and increase stress resilience.
Week Four - Downregulate the stress response - this goes hand in hand with upregulating the vagus nerve. Learn tools to do on yourself and your baby/child. Plus learn some fun ways to help balance the nervous system in kids (quick and easy with maximum impact!).
Week Five - Accessing your intuition, and shifting long-standing beliefs and patterns. Learn how to do some child-centred regulation breathing (great to add in after a physical release tool from week four!).
Week Six - Tie everything together and create a plan for yourself moving forward. Using a specific protocol, learn how to make a plan for any issue or struggle you’re having with yourself or your child. Use this protocol any time you need to shift and reset, or when a new situation arises. This is where you learn how to apply these tools for a lifetime.
The tools and strategies I teach you during our 10 weeks together are designed to work with the nervous system for long term shifts in regulation.
The next round start dates are to be advised.
Calls are spread over 10 weeks.
Content is spread over 6 weeks.

Hi I’m Carrie!
I’m a chiropractor, applied kinesiologist and vagus nerve educator with a special interest in treating the vagus nerve in children.
I’ve been practising chiropractic for over 12 years, and am Perth’s only integrative neuroimmunology trained practitioner.
On top of that I am a HeartMath-certified practitioner, and use all of these tools combined to care for my clients in person.
I created this program because I had so many fellow Mums asking me for help and I wanted to be able to share this message beyond my clinic walls.
Because sometimes, no matter what you try - there’s something missing and you need to call in specialist help and support.
Someone to make sense of what’s really going on with your child.
I want you to be empowered to care more for your nervous system and your children’s nervous system too.
And from my experience working with women and their children in my clinic, the most common revelation is that we are all connected, we co-regulate (and co-dysregulate), and that often our nervous system ‘set-point’ has moulded our children’s.
Which is why it’s so important to make a change to the dynamic of your whole family, for generations to come.
It’s time to understand what you’re doing when it comes to supporting the nervous system in your children – not just for them, but for you too!
Your Questions Answered
Should I do group coaching or 1:1 coaching?
With the group coaching you get access to coaching AND pre-recorded content as well as the added benefit of learning from others who are going through the same thing as. This is super powerful and you’ll soon realise, you’re not alone in your experience.
What if I can’t make the group coaching call?
It is recommended that you do commit to the live so you can make the most of the access to me and the opportunity to learn from others. However it’s understandable that sometimes things do come up - so all of the group coaching calls will be recorded and made available to you if you can’t attend live one week.
You will have the opportunity to send in questions before the call, so I can answer them on the recorded call.
How much time is required to learn this?
I understand Mum life can be busy, which is why I’ve made sure to keep the content as short and as actionable as possible. Each week you’ll receive 45 minutes of pre-recorded content that you can go through at your own pace. And then 4 times (on a Tuesday night) we’ll meet for an hour so you can ask questions related to the content or specific to your situation. That’s it. You simply need to commit to doing the work and taking action on the small daily tasks because that’s when you’ll see the shifts in your children.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! Payment plans are available - weekly payments for 6 weeks.
This mother-child vagus nerve offering is for you if…
You’re either pregnant, or have a child below the age of 8
You’re curious about the vagus nerve and want to learn more
You understand that a mother and their child are connected, and want to learn how to foster that connection
You want to raise a child with a balanced nervous system, and not create the same patterns you had during your own childhood
You prefer practical advice, and want to learn how to apply it to yourself and your kids
You prefer to be proactive, you’re ready to make changes, and you’re excited about being held accountable
You are ready to commit to weekly calls for 6 weeks, and all of the inner work in between
You do NOT have a major trauma or significant health issue that would limit your participation, or cause you to be triggered (which can happen when upregulating the vagus), or that requires 1:1 support for
6 weeks to create habits and change in the nervous system - that actually works.
As a Mum you know your child like nobody else…
And when your intuition tells you something is not quite right, you should listen to it.
But finding the RIGHT answers for your child and your family can be difficult.
And scrolling the ‘Gram and Googling only gets you so far.
You need evidence from someone who has been where you are and who has dedicated their life to finding these answers.
That person is me!
When I created the Vagus Nerve for Mums and Children program, I created something I wish I had when I became a mother.
Tried and tested information that actually works, that can be found in the one spot and is delivered alongside a community of like minded mums who are going through the same thing as you.
It’s not just the resources.
It’s ALSO the community.
AND the support of someone who genuinely wants to help you get answers (me!).
I want you to be empowered to care more for your nervous system and your children’s nervous system too.
You’re invited to join me for the ultimate reboot for the stress levels and overall health of your family.
“As a mother of two children who have had some complex wellness issues, particularly sleep challenges, I’ve tried so many things over the years to help them.
Across both my children, I’ve dealt with many practitioners, had different procedures done, tonsils and adenoids removed, tongue ties released and some more in between. All these things needed to be done however I knew there was a missing puzzle piece, though I wasn’t sure what that was.
Over a year ago, I came across the incredible work of Dr Carrie Rigoni. I began to learn about the vagus nerve and what its role was, and how the condition of the vagus nerve impacted literally everything in the body. I read and learned about the nervous system in ways I hadn’t before, particularly what you see manifest in children who are dysregulated.
As my son grew closer to rescuing his fourth birthday, I knew he needed some extra support and I needed some myself. I knew what my goal was for him and I had some strategies and tools in place to manage my son, but I knew until I got help with his nervous system and vagus nerve, I wouldn’t get the results I was looking for, which was a calmer child who didn’t experience the intense reactions that came from being so dysregulated.
As soon as I had an online session with Carrie, she was able to make sense of what was going on with my son and give me some tools straight away. She was also able to help explain how working on the vagus nerve and nervous system generally would assist in the outcomes I was hoping for in my son.
Despite working with us in an online capacity, she provided us with so much support and mapped out a plan for us that we could continue to get guidance on.
Since working with Carrie, we’ve seen some great improvements in our son and noticed some great knock on effects in other areas. It’s certainly helped us as parents know what we are doing when it comes to supporting the nervous system in our children (and for us too).”
It’s time to trust the niggle and find the missing piece to your family’s health challenges - together.
