“Each brain and each nervous system carries its own truth, its own language, its own raw expression of life. The Felt Sense Polyvagal Model lets us express the unspoken, feel the unseen, and guide the body back to safety.”
Hannah Westphal, Neuroscientist & Felt Sense Polyvagal Model Practitioner.
Our brains and bodies have an innate ability to detect safety or danger, often without conscious awareness. Dr. Stephen Porges, the creator of Polyvagal Theory, referred to this subconscious process as neuroception. While neuroception plays a vital role in our survival, chronic stress and trauma can disrupt this system, leaving the nervous system stuck in a constant state of danger. This can cause the body to cycle through survival states, which manifest differently for different people. These states may include chronic stress, hyperarousal, and hypervigilance (often associated with the "fight or flight" response), dissociation, overwhelm, or shutdown (commonly referred to as the "freeze" response), among others.
The Felt Sense Polyvagal Model (FSPM) is a therapeutic approach that combines neuroscience and somatic healing to address nervous system imbalances and regain a sense of safety and connection. Unlike traditional talk therapy, FSPM focuses on the body’s intuitive processing of sensations and emotions. By tapping into the nervous system’s wisdom, FSPM addresses the root causes of emotional pain, promoting recovery from trauma, anxiety, addiction, and burnout, while fostering lasting self-awareness and resilience.
The 12 week FSPM Programme is available nationwide via Zoom and delivered by Neuroscientist and trauma and addiction specialist Hannah Westphal (Bsc.). It is a structured programme designed to transition your nervous system from a state of survival to one of safety and connection by combining virtual sessions, practical tools and guided independent exploration.
You’ll have access to our secure portal Practice Better, where you can contact Hannah and receive ongoing support between sessions ensuring you feel guided and confident throughout.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
