Nervous system guide · Yoga teacher · Austin, TX + worldwide
Your nervous system
is ready to come home.
For the high-achievers who are exhausted but can't slow down. The people who sleep eight hours and still wake up tired. This is where we begin.
"A regulated nervous system is our next version of generational wealth. What we do not look at, we pass on."
— Maddy · Hey Meet Maddy
does this sound familiar
Burnout doesn't always
look dramatic.
- Never fully turning off, even after a full night's sleep
- Being exhausted but wired — unable to truly rest
- Scrolling, numbing, moving fast to avoid feeling slow
- Anxiety that lives in the body, not just the mind
- A nervous system that forgot what safety feels like
- Accomplishing everything — and feeling nothing
"I didn't realize how much I was holding until I slowed down. Nothing forced, nothing overwhelming. Just small, intentional practices that gently brought me back to myself."
— Chelsea, Downshift client
how we work together
Four ways to begin.
All of them gentle.
Start where you are. There is no wrong door.
01
Downshift — 7 Day Reset
Seven consecutive days — 10 to 20 minutes each — designed to help you determine whether nervous system dysregulation is at the root of your burnout. If it is, you'll feel it within a week. A guided practice, nervous system education, and reflection prompt every day. Begin Day One free.

02
Nervous System Insight Session
The most honest data your body will ever give you. Using biometric HRV testing — two small wrist electrodes — we measure how your nervous system is actually functioning: biological age, stress recovery, parasympathetic balance, and more. You'll leave with a clear picture of where you are and exactly what your body needs next.

03
Downshift — 1:1 Coaching
A private 30-day nervous system reset built entirely around you. We begin with an HRV intake session to see exactly where your system is. I build a personalized protocol — movement, breath, recovery rituals — designed for your data, your schedule, and your life. Weekly 1:1 check-ins. A closing HRV session to measure what shifted. This is not a course. It is not a group program. It is yours.

hi, i'm maddy
A guide who has been
where you are.
I'm a Nervous System Guide, yoga teacher, and recovering high-achiever who spent years living in survival mode — too wired to rest, too exhausted to keep going.
I created Downshift because I needed it myself. And because I kept meeting people in the same quiet emergency: accomplished, capable, deeply burned out, and not entirely sure how they got there.
I work 1:1 with clients around the world, teach in Austin, TX, and travel the globe testing these practices on the most honest laboratory I know — my own nervous system.
— Maddy
