Meet Chantill
Nervous System + Brain Based Coach,
Educator + Change Consultant
We cannot change or control the growing complexity of the world, but we can change and control how we respond to it.
This change starts below our consciousness. It starts in our nervous system.
I have always believed that there was a way to bring every aspect of our humanness to expand the potential of our lives. I do not believe in binary, dualistic approaches and I do not believe that the tools we've been giving in recent decades are enough. Mindfulness and meditation are valuable. Exercise is critical. Mindset is a gateway. Talk therapy an opportunity. And below all of that your nervous system lays in wait for the silent, unconscious triggers that will disrupt all of your good work and good intentions.
For the past 12 years my work in transformational education, behavior change, and motivational science has led me to become well versed and practiced in a myriad of nervous system frameworks that are the heart of the change work I do with individuals, businesses, and organizations.
I am a trained Brain-based coach through the NeuroLeadership Institute, and certified by the Polyvagal Institute in a range of methodologies.
I have a passion for supporting women in reclaiming their health, steadiness, and increasing their capacity for the unique demands of their lives WHILE expanding their ability to experience joy, play, and adventure.
About Nervous System-based Behavior Change
In today’s complex landscape, traditional change models often fail to address the deeper, lasting transformation that clients (exchange for employees) and organizations (exchange for businesses) need for sustainable growth and success. The Nervous System-Informed approach we use integrates the latest neuroscience, focusing on the deeply intertwined link between physiological and psychology as the foundation for meaningful behavioral change.
By guiding individuals to embody new habits and behaviors, we can curate change that becomes second nature, rather than just a temporary intellectual exercise that falls away at the first sign of a new challenge.
This approach strengthens adaptability and capacity, creating long-term steadiness, even in the most intense and high-stress environments.
Dr. Stephen Porges
Founder of the Polyvagal Theory
There’s a brutal irony to the fact that many of the features of our built world that are billed as keeping us safe also make us feel unsafe.
If one wanted to take a cynical point of view, one might posit that, at times, this is an intended outcome. And that certain individuals or institutions may want us to feel unsafe for their own selfish ends. But why would anybody actively want to make us feel unsafe?
The Polyvagal Theory offers a simple explanation: When we feel unsafe, our bodies shut down our ability to critically think or learn in favor of a need for immediate survival.”
