The Three Pillar Protocol: A Practitioner's Guide to Nervous System Regulation
In Development
For twenty years, I've been asking the same question: Why do some interventions create lasting change while others—even good ones—don't hold?
The answer isn't about finding the right technique. It's about understanding the body's regulatory architecture—the structural stability that allows healing to occur and endure. When that architecture is compromised, symptoms migrate and nothing fully resolves. When it's restored, the body returns to doing what it's designed to do.
This book documents what I've learned. It's a framework for understanding how the nervous system organizes around three functional pillars—containment, expression, and integration—and the regulatory systems that allow them to work together without rigidity.
Who it's for:
Practitioners working with chronic stress, trauma, or dysregulation. People wanting to understand why their healing has been difficult. Anyone curious about the intersection of TCM, neuroscience, and hands-on practice.
What it offers:
Not techniques to memorize, but a way of seeing that makes complex cases comprehensible—and gives you a roadmap for working with the body's intelligence rather than against it.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will the book be released?
I'm currently documenting the work and ensuring it translates clearly to written form. I'd rather take the time to get it right than rush something incomplete. Text BOOKINFO to 0487 111 008 for updates.
Will there be a course or training based on the book?
That's the plan—a professional training program for practitioners. The book will lay the foundation; the training will go deeper into application.
Is this for people with specific conditions like ADHD or anxiety?
The framework applies to any nervous system dysregulation—ADHD, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, stress. It's not condition-specific; it's about restoring the body's capacity to regulate itself.
Do I need a background in TCM or energy work to understand it?
No. While the book references TCM concepts, it's written to be accessible. Practitioners from any modality will find value, and interested non-practitioners can follow along.
