Restore Your Nervous System Baseline
A gentle, evidence-based approach
to help your body release stored stress
and return to regulation.
Why Stress becomes Unmanageable
The human body has evolved to adapt and survive. The stress response is a natural part of life. And we have a great ability to adapt to stress.
But we can still only take on so much before we reach our maximum.
We often don’t even know how much stress we are accumulating as the human body is just so good at adapting. So we keep carrying on until eventually something goes wrong.
Place enough stress on anything, and it will break.
When we are spending too much time stuck in survival mode. Over time, it draws upon too much energy and depletes our reserves.
When the stress response doesn’t switch off, eventually you will experience a range of symptoms.
- Overthinking
- Tight chest / tension
- Trouble sleeping
- Constant overwhelm
- Emotional exhaustion
- Short fuse
- Fatigue + wired energy
- Feeling “not like yourself”
- Many aches and pains

"When I first came to Inspiring Wellness stress was slowly taking away all the good things in my life.
I have tried a lot of things to reduce stress and bring balance to my life, going to Inspiring Wellness has made the biggest difference.
As a result, I am happier, more relaxed and have a much more balanced life."
Stress Doesn’t Switch Off,
it accumulates over time!
The system becomes dysregulated
The core problem: your stress response is stuck ON
Stress isn’t only mental; it comes from more than just our thoughts. It can be chemical, as well as physical (such as traumas and accidents).
Over time, the Stresses accumulate (starting in life as early as from the birthing process - for many this in itself is a stressful and traumatic process, your delicate neck being yanked, forceps, drugs in mums system, her stress).
All stresses and stressful moments gets stored in the body.
When your nervous system becomes overloaded, it stops returning to a healthy baseline; which leads to chronic stress, burnout, and physical symptoms.
If you're feeling like your always 'on', your body is stuck on.
At Inspiring Wellness, we use a gentle, evidence-based, scientific nervous-system approach that helps the body release tension and reset the stress response.
You will become more relaxed in your body, feel calmer, develop a greater ability to respond to stressful situations, and move from being easily overwhelmed to RESILIENT. Essentially, a LOT happier and enjoy life more.

"What I love most about the care that Dov offers is that he works directly with the way I store tension in my body to release that tension. That in combination with addressing the thinking aspect of how I do life works like magic!
The effects are long term rather than just being situational and he has taught me techniques that I am able to implement in a multitude of situations – forever onwards."
Change How Your Body Responds to Stress, Upgrade Your Life
Step 1: Request a FREE Nervous System Assessment & Introductory Session
*This session is for people who are genuinely ready to explore change, not those looking for a quick fix or free advice.
Your first step begins with a short phone conversation.This allows us to understand what you’re experiencing and determine whether this approach is the right fit for you.
If appropriate, you’ll then be invited into the clinic for a gentle, in-person nervous system assessment and introductory session.
I don’t work with everyone. This process is designed for people who are open to a body-based approach and ready to explore meaningful change
During your assessment, we look at how your nervous system is currently responding to stress — where it may be overloaded, stuck in survival mode, or easily triggered — and how this is affecting you emotionally, mentally, and physically.
From there, we outline a clear, personalised roadmap so you can begin moving out of constant activation and back toward regulation, resilience, and a healthier baseline.
Step 2: Gentle Nervous System Sessions to Retrain your Stress Response
These sessions help release the tension that is bound in your body and nervous system. This will help you to balance your stress response, and bring your system back into safety.
The sessions are gentle, precise, and designed to work with your nervous system — not force it.

"Halfway through 2023 I was completely burnt out and physically run down. I was unable to work and I was in a really dark place mentally. I found it a real struggle to even leave the house. Dov and his unfailing positivity and calm certainty helped me immensely.
It is uncanny the way he knows exactly how you are feeling and he gives you the means to actively address and negate those destructive and negative thought patterns. Through the Entrainment sessions I was able to visualise a place of calm within myself and now, when I start to feel stressed, I can return to that place. His sleeping exercise is also a good one!
The tools he introduces you to and the teachings contained within the 12 week Wellness Shift course are all so very powerful. They allow you to make some really important realizations about yourself and change your life for the better. I can honestly say that without Dov and his teachings, I wouldn't have been able to return to teaching in Term 4 of 2023.
Thank you so very much."
I have worked with people for 19 years, and many of those who come to me have already tried everything else to calm down and decrease stress. The normal approaches simply won't get that depth you need.
Over the last two and half decades I have invested into training with some of the top experts in the world.
I have completed a chiropractic degree where I learnt about the nervous system and healing and then went on to be trained with one of the world leading experts Dr Donald Epstein, founder of EpiEnergetics and Network Spinal Analysis, and have completed the highest level of training.
The reason I am telling you this is simply to let you know you are in good hands. I really care and look after my clients. If you want change, if you want to break free from your body being stuck in the stress response, I can help you.
I have worked with thousands of people - I live and breathe this stuff. I am not someone who has taken a weekend workshop and doing some wishy washy healing. This is an evidence-based scientific process for people who want the best.
Sure, you can do ice baths, talking therapy, breath work; these are great and have their place. But they are not working on the deeper layer where the stress is anchored into the body.
Many people tell me they try to meditate but feel like they are not getting that much from it. This makes sense as their nervous system is stuck in stress mode so they just struggle, or get very little benefit.
I have never come across anything as powerful and as long-lasting effective as NSA (the main technique I use to base my work on) for helping people who are stressed, burnt out or just simply feeling the negative effects of stress.
I have had clients who are so stressed out, hurting, hating life, feeling so over it and we have helped them not only get back to functioning, but go way beyond that. The amount of people who tell me they start feeling amazing is incredible. And now, it's your turn too.

"For the first few months I was just in a constant state of amazed disbelief about how significantly the work was able to shift things in me. I remember being quite surprised by how such gentle and minimal contacts were able to set healing in motion and tap into the body wisdom.
Your high level of skill as a practitioner together with your genuineness, your compassionate nature and above all your sunny enthusiasm helped me a great deal, Dov, thank you. Beginning NSA work with you set off some major shifts in me where I was able to release some long held blocks (including past traumas) and found that in a short period of time my physical pain was no longer a problem, my experience of stress in life changed and there were overall positive changes with my energy, sleep and general feeling of wellbeing.
I appreciate you sharing your passion for helping others access healing in themselves, and for the significant work you do to help create positive change. My wish is for NSA to be so common place in our health systems one day that it could be something that infants received from the time that they are newborn. How amazing would that be!"

"After a couple of really tough years I started a job in 2019 that was a bad fit and I stopped sleeping. The stress was too much and I became a nervous wreck.
I tried going the usual route of seeing a doctor and taking sleeping tablets etc. but they only masked the underlying anxiety. Exhausted and desperate, I made an appointment with Dov.
I slept properly for the first time in over a month after seeing him. I've had many sessions with Dov since then and they made all the difference. I'm sleeping properly again and am able to deal with whatever life throws my way in a much more positive and resilient fashion.
Dov is kind, caring and empathetic and helped me when I needed it most. I highly recommend him to anyone who is going through a tough time or who might be struggling to sleep due to underlying anxiety."
Why this works:
Simply put; Stress gets stored in the body. When the body has too much stress, it reaches a point where it's like a 'switch' has been activated and the stress response stays on.
We teach the body how to turn that switch off. We help you move out of survival mode.
From here, the body can adapt to normal everyday life.
A more scientific way to explain it; Too much stress creates tension in the body as it adapts. This causes the system to be in a dysregulated state.
This dysregulated state causes the spine to adapt with spinal cord tension patterns.
These are adaptive responses, but cause us to live in survival. From here, we activate different parts of the brain and nervous system.
The work we do teaches the body how to become more healthily and regulated by releasing that bound tension in the spine and body.
Stress overload → nervous system stays on alert
Gentle intervention → stress response resets
System shifts from survival → regulation
Life becomes manageable again
Frequently Asked Questions
Everyone is different and goes through care at different rates depending on many factors. Some people who are very receptive will notice changes within the first few sessions, and others may take a few months (most likely because they are on lots of medications, so the process takes longer).
Overall, the most common time frame we see with most people, we notice shifts start happening within the first 6-10 sessions.
We are located on 68 Albert Street, Auckland CBD - right on the corner of Albert and Wyndham street.
Ideally, people come into the city twice a week for sessions to begin with. Once a week will also see results, however it may take a bit longer.
For most people, yes! If you have a spine and a nervous system, NSA is beneficial for you.
The very few people where we are uncomfortable working on are often to do with mental illness. These are the cases where NSA in our clinic is not right for someone: Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, Borderline personality disorder. This is due to the fact that NSA increases your emotional range and desire to express yourself authentically. The chemical differences in the brains of these disorders make us uncertain that we will be able to help them in the way where their life is better.
The initial consultation is $150 and follow up sessions are $85. We have programs and packages where you can start a care plan with us at an overall discounted rate.
