COHERENCE: Becoming Resilient & Resourceful

Why You Can't Stay Calm Under Pressure (And What Actually Works)

You know what you should do. Be less reactive. Stay calm. Think before you speak.

But when the pressure hits, be that a difficult conversation, a tight deadline, a moment of uncertainty, something else takes over. Your heart races. Your mind goes blank or spirals. You can't access the calm, clear, capable version of yourself that you know is in there.

This isn't a willpower problem. It's a nervous system problem.

When you're stressed, your heart rhythm becomes chaotic and disordered. This sends "danger" signals to your brain. Your prefrontal cortex (strategic thinking) goes partially offline. Your amygdala (threat detection) takes over.

In this state, you literally cannot access your best thinking, your emotional intelligence, or your resourcefulness. Your biology won't let you.

The Solution: Coherence

Coherence is a measurable physiological state where your heart rhythm becomes smooth and ordered, signaling safety to your entire nervous system. When you're in coherence:

✓ Your thinking becomes clear and strategic

✓ You can access your emotional intelligence

✓ You stay resourceful under pressure

✓ You make better decisions

✓ You show up as the person you actually want to be

Research from the HeartMath Institute shows that coherence increases your access to prefrontal cortex function by up to 40%. You get your brain back.

What You'll Learn in This Workshop

In 60 minutes, you'll walk away with:

→ Understanding of what's happening in your body when you get triggered – The biology of dysregulation and why you lose access to your best self under stress

→ The Quick Coherence® Technique – A practical, scientifically-backed method you can use anywhere, anytime to shift your nervous system from chaos to coherence

→ How to recognize your early warning signals – Catch dysregulation before it takes over and interrupt the stress cascade

→ The three parts of the "stuck" problem – Dysregulation, disconnection, and depletion—and how to address each one

→ What resilience actually is – Not toughing it out or pushing through, but building biological capacity through nervous system training

→ Practical guidance you can use immediately – This isn't theory. You'll practice the technique during the workshop and leave knowing exactly how to apply it to your life.

✓ Live instruction and practice – Learn the Quick Coherence® Technique with real-time guidance

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is designed for high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders who:

• Look successful on the outside but feel stuck in stress patterns internally
• Know what they should do but struggle to access it under pressure
• Get reactive in high-stakes situations and later think "that's not who I want to be"
• Feel like stress is running the show instead of them
• Want biological solutions, not motivational platitudes
• Are ready to understand their nervous system and work with it instead of fighting against it

What This Workshop Is NOT

This is not meditation. This is not positive thinking. This is not about "managing" stress or learning to push through.

This is precision nervous system training based on HeartMath research and clinical practice. You're learning to regulate your biology, not just change your thoughts.

Workshop Format

Time Breakdown:

• First 20 minutes: The biology of stress and dysregulation — what's actually happening in your nervous system when you lose access to your best self

• Next 15 minutes: Learning and practicing the Quick Coherence® Technique together – you'll feel the shift in your body in real-time

• Next 15 minutes: The three parts of the stuck problem and the framework for building sustainable resilience

• Final 10 minutes: Q&A and information about Personal Breakthrough Sessions

This is a live, interactive workshop. Come ready to participate, practice, and ask questions.

What to Bring

• A notebook or way to take notes • Willingness to practice (we'll do the technique together during the workshop) • An open mind about approaching stress from a biological rather than mental perspective • Your specific questions or challenges (we'll have Q&A time)

She is HeartMath trained in neuro-somatic dynamics, taking a biological rather than motivational approach to helping clients overcome stress, reactivity, and overwhelm patterns.

Marina's work is grounded in the understanding that being "stuck" is not a character flaw or mindset issue—it's a nervous system state that requires biological intervention. She helps clients shift from dysregulation to coherence, from reactive patterns to resourceful responses, and from surviving to thriving.

She has authored two books: "Dream a Better Dream" and "Your GPS to Happiness", and runs transformational workshops and breakthrough sessions for clients worldwide.

Marina's approach combines: 

• HeartMath biofeedback and coherence training • Clinical hypnotherapy for deep pattern work • NLP and Timeline Therapy® for rapid transformation • Nervous system regulation based on polyvagal theory • Practical, evidence-based techniques clients can use immediately

Her mission: To help high-achievers understand that they're not broken—they're just operating from a dysregulated nervous system. And dysregulation is something you can change.
