Work With Britney
Your body has been holding something for a long time. Britney works directly with your nervous system — through somatic healing, therapeutic bodywork, trauma release, and breathwork — to help you finally put it down.
What is somatic healing?
Most approaches to healing start with the mind. Talk therapy. Mindset work. Journaling. Those things have value. But if trauma lives in the body — and it does — the mind alone can't reach it.
Somatic healing works directly with the body. With the nervous system. With the tension stored in your shoulders, your jaw, your chest, your gut. With the patterns your body learned to protect you that it never got the signal to release.
Britney's sessions combine therapeutic bodywork, nervous system regulation, trauma release techniques, breathwork, and sound healing. Not as a menu of services — as a single response to what your body is actually holding.
You don't need to know what you're carrying. Your body already knows. That's what we listen to.

Nervous System Reset — Signature Session $250 · Single session
Britney's signature healing session. A full nervous system reset designed to release stored tension, regulate your body, and bring you back into balance. Combines deep therapeutic bodywork, trauma release, nervous system regulation, and energetic clearing. Clients often leave feeling lighter, more present, and more connected to themselves than they have in years. This is not massage. This is not talk therapy. This is the body doing what it was always designed to do — in a space that finally feels safe enough to let it go.
Somatic Bodywork & Trauma Release
Deep therapeutic bodywork that works directly with the body's stored trauma patterns. Rather than requiring you to retell your story, this work addresses what lives in the tissue — the held tension, the braced posture, the places where the body learned to protect itself and never got the signal to stand down.

The deepest container Britney offers. Six weekly one-on-one sessions built around your body, your history, and your life. Between sessions you have access to Britney via voice memo and text. You'll leave with a custom nervous system reset protocol that belongs to you permanently

About Chef Reid
Reid Armstrong spent years working in high-pressure San Diego kitchens — bartending, bar backing, selling fish at Point Loma Seafoods — before becoming a private chef who couldn't ignore one simple question:
Why do people eat well and still feel terrible?
The answer led him to ancestral nutrition. The idea that human bodies were shaped by millions of years of evolution eating specific foods — and that the modern industrialized diet is a 50-year experiment that has failed us completely.
Reid's approach is not a diet. It's a return. Whole animals. Organ meats. Bone broth. Raw dairy. Fermented foods. Seasonal produce. The foods that built the healthiest populations in human history.
Food that doesn't just taste good. Food that actually does something.
Philosophy
Most people know they have a nervous system in their brain and spine.
Most people don't know they have a second one in their gut.
The enteric nervous system — 100 million nerve cells lining your gastrointestinal tract — communicates directly with your brain via the vagus nerve. The same nerve Britney works with in every somatic healing session.
Your gut produces 90% of your body's serotonin. It regulates inflammation. It signals safety or threat to your nervous system before your brain has finished processing what's happening.
A dysregulated gut is a dysregulated nervous system.
This is why what you eat is not separate from how you feel. Chronic anxiety, brain fog, mood instability, fatigue — these are not just psychological problems. They are often nutritional ones.
Reid addresses the physiological roots of nervous system dysregulation through food. The mineral deficiencies. The inflammatory seed oils. The processed foods sending constant stress signals to a body already running on empty.
Britney works with the nervous system from the body up. Reid works with it from the plate up.
Together — it's a complete system.
