The Neuro-Somatic Code™
Your personalized operating system for understanding and regulating the ancient survival systems that drive your stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.
The Unique Mechanism: Neuro-Somatic Alignment™
Your symptoms of anxiety and overwhelm are the predictable result of ancient survival systems—the SAM (Sympathetic-Adrenal-Medullary) and HPA (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal) axes—being chronically activated by modern life.
Neuro-Somatic Alignment™ is our proprietary method for regulating this stress response by training your interoceptive awareness—the mind-body skill of sensing your internal signals. Through guided practices, you leverage neuroplasticity to rewire your brain for lasting resilience.
The power to thrive is already within you. True Roots simply provides the user manual.
Your Neuro-Somatic Code™: Two Axes
Your unique code is determined by two scientifically-grounded dimensions of nervous system functioning.
Axis 1: The Primary State (The "What")
Defines your body's default neurophysiological reaction to stress:
- S - Sympathetic: High-energy, action-oriented stress response
- H - HPA-Dominant: Fatigue-based, conservation stress response
- D - Dysregulated: Unpredictable, oscillating stress response
Axis 2: The Directional Response (The "How")
Describes your characteristic coping strategy:
- A - Approach: Moving toward challenges with action
- W - Withdraw: Moving away from discomfort
- F - Fixate: Getting stuck in analysis or freeze
Combining these two axes generates 9 core Neurotypes—from the Warrior (S-A) to the Architect (D-F)—each with distinct patterns, superpowers, and challenges.
Scientific Foundations
The Neuro-Somatic Code™ integrates multiple streams of neuroscience research.
Polyvagal Theory
Understanding how the vagus nerve regulates our sense of safety and connection, and how different nervous system states shape our experience and behavior.
Somatic Experiencing
Recognizing that the body holds patterns of stress and trauma, and that healing happens through gentle, body-based awareness and release.
Neuroplasticity
Leveraging the brain's ability to create new neural pathways, allowing us to reshape habitual patterns and build new capacities for regulation.
Window of Tolerance
Understanding your optimal zone of arousal and learning to expand your capacity to handle stress without becoming overwhelmed or shutting down.
How It Works
Discover Your Code
Take our quiz to identify your unique Neuro-Somatic Code™—your combination of Primary State and Directional Response that explains your stress patterns.
Understand Your Pattern
Learn your "superpower," your predictable challenges, and how your pattern shows up in daily life.
Train Your Interoceptive Awareness
Access personalized practices designed for your neurotype. Learn to sense your internal signals and regulate your stress response through guided somatic techniques.
Rewire for Resilience
Through consistent practice, you leverage neuroplasticity to create new neural pathways. Regulation becomes more automatic, and your nervous system builds lasting capacity for stress and challenge.
