Did you know... Every time you breathe, speak, or swallow, you use the vagus nerve? In this online course you will learn the ultimate guide to unlocking your body's natural healing abilities.

This professionally recognised and insurable course is ideal for both professional and personal use.

The vagus nerve is currently a very hot topic. If you have gut issues, you will probably have heard about the vagus nerve already (pronounced Vegas). There has been a lot of attention given to it, especially on social media, where well-known apps and meditations are directed at those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in all three forms (C, D and M).

However, the problem is that most of us don’t know what it is, why it seems suddenly important, and whether the hype is true.

Every time you breathe, speak, or swallow, you use the vagus nerve. But that’s not all it does because it is so intrinsically linked to our entire system that to say that’s all it does would be to overlook some of its greatest achievements.

In Part One of this course, we explore the science of our nervous systems to better understand what the vagus nerve is, why it is important, how it can affect our health, and how we can reset and rebalance it.

In Part Two, we investigate the science and the opinions to make better and more informed decisions about some of the techniques we can use to promote better vagus nerve health through stimulation, alternative therapies and diet.

Throughout the course, we move through a systematic process, defining the jargon, providing carefully thought-out illustrations and, at the end, a Vagus Nerve 101 PDF that provides you with copies of the illustrations, exercise examples, and a key summary of the main points, that you can revisit and use, either for yourself or in your well-being practice.

Our aim at the end of this course is to empower you in your understanding of the vagus nerve, your knowledge of how to stimulate and heal it, and most of all, to provide you with the right tools to self-heal or to help your clients heal.

Learn on the latest easy-to-use online platform with 24-hour access, fantastic videos and safe in the knowledge you are receiving quality and care.

Open to complete beginners, full course content/syllabus is located below.

You can use this therapy professionally with clients, it is insurable, enabling you to charge for your services.

This is an accredited professional and recognised course, full tutor support and no compromise on quality even when you see a discounted offer.

"This course on the vagus nerve was incredibly insightful and in-depth. It is full of clear medical explanations while still remaining accessible and engaging. I gained a much deeper understanding of how the nervous system influences emotions, healing, and overall well-being. I especially appreciated the practical techniques that I could immediately apply in my own life and work. Highly recommended for anyone interested in deep, body-based healing."

Vagus Nerve

I loved this course, really interesting and easy to follow.

Fantastic Course!

The course was so detailed, yet very affordable.. I din't realize there was so much to learn about the vagus nerve! Love the handout that teaches exercises to stimulate the vagus nerve and the tracking handout to help me practice them.

Informative and well structured Course

Great course. Beth is a excellent tutor and gives good guidance. She is very knowledgeable. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who is looking at expanding their knowledge on nutrition and health!
Thank you so much!

Was a great course . The theory was very informative and well laid out and easy to follow

The course was very clear to follow and complete.
The site is simple to navigate, and the content was well presented.
I am a therapist in Cornwall, UK, and valued both the breadth and depth of the information given.

Level 3 Education and training

I couldn't have asked for a better tutor than Kate. She was incredibly supportive throughout my Level 3 Education and Training course, always offering helpful advice and closely monitoring my progress every step of the way.
Kate was brilliant,patient, encouraging, and always available to answer my questions. Her guidance gave me the confidence to succeed, and I'm so happy I chose to complete my Level 3 Education and Training course with her.
I would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated tutor. Thank you for all your help.

AET LEVEL 3

completed the AET Level 3 course with Kate Parish, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the very first unit to the final microteach, Kate was always available, encouraging, and gave detailed, constructive feedback at every stage. Her communication was clear and prompt, and she made the whole process feel manageable even alongside a busy full-time job in finance. I came in with no teaching background and left with a genuine qualification and real confidence in my ability to deliver training. If you are thinking about it — just do it. Worth every minute.
