When your nervous system remains in constant alert mode, anxiety can feel relentless and sleep can feel out of reach. Racing thoughts at night, persistent tension, and ongoing exhaustion are often signs of a nervous system that has been operating in survival mode for too long.
In this episode of Rosabel Unscripted, neurology nurse practitioner Rosabel Zohfeld speaks with Tauna Young, psychiatric nurse practitioner and founder of Neurovana Calm, about cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) and how it may support nervous system regulation.
Tauna shares how her experience in hospital care led her to focus on mental health and nervous system support. CES uses safe, low-level microcurrent delivered through small ear clips to influence brain activity and encourage relaxation states associated with parasympathetic calm.
Rosabel also explains why anxiety and insomnia are not personal failures, but adaptive responses from a dysregulated nervous system responding to chronic stress. Together, they discuss how CES may provide an evidence-informed tool to help the body move toward regulation and rest.
This conversation offers a compassionate perspective for anyone feeling stuck in “always on” mode and explores how gentle tools can help restore calm without forcing the body to override its signals.
