A Nervous System–Led Approach

From Survival to Thriving:
Recovery from Stress & Burnout

Resolve the deep nervous system dysregulation behind chronic exhaustion and emotional numbness.

Running on Empty

Burnout is more than tiredness; it is a collapse of your adaptive systems.

Numbness & Detachment

A sense of "dorsal vagal shutdown" where you feel disconnected or flat.

Irritability

napping at loved ones due to sympathetic dominance.

Sleep Fragmentation

Being too tired to sleep, or waking up exhausted.

Why a Holiday Isn't Fixing It

You may take time off, but the exhaustion persists because your internal motor is still racing. This is because your nervous system is stuck in “overdrive.”

Think of it like this:
Symptoms like burnout are the branches of a tree. Rest doesn’t work if the roots are still trapped in a defensive, resource-conserving mode.

The Biology of Burnout

Burnout is a state where the body is trapped in defense mode, making it impossible to access vitality.

Resource Depletion

Chronic stress sustains neuroinflammation and keeps your energy reserves low.

The Fix

We promote rewiring to exit this defense mode and enter a state of repair and energy replenishment.

Client Success

James's Story

Panic attacks

Ceased completely

Emotional Range

Expanded

James came to me after years of living with constant anxiety under sustained work pressure. Panic attacks were striking several times a week, leaving him tense, vigilant, and always anticipating the next surge.

As the sessions progressed, his nervous system began to settle. By the end of the programme, the panic attacks had stopped completely and his emotional range opened up in a way he hadn’t experienced in years.

James now speaks publicly with ease and moves through daily life without bracing for fear.

“BioCoding™ retrained my brain’s panic button. I’m no longer waiting for the next wave I can just live.”

These anonymised examples reflect aggregated client data from Hollyanna Vellichor’s practice. Individual results may vary. BioCoding™ is a complementary approach and should not replace medical advice.

The Programme

Through the The Recode programme, we use gentle micro-movements to foster “glial modulation” calming the immune cells in your nervous system that cause inflammation.

01 No Forcing

Prioritising safety and energy conservation for your depleted system.

02 Micro-Movements

Precise, gentle gestures without demanding practices.

03 Regulatory Modulation

Helping restore natural cycles of rest and activity.

04 Nervous-System Replenishment

Gradually expanding your window of tolerance and rebuilding sustainable energy.

Your Questions Answered

Is burnout a medical condition?

It is a physiological state of “autonomic dysregulation”. It has real physical markers, such as HPA-axis dysfunction and inflammation.

Can I do this while working?

Yes. In fact, BioCoding helps you build “resilient stress responses”, allowing you to navigate work pressures with greater ease and less depletion.

How is this different from stress management?

Stress management often manages the external load. BioCoding manages the internal reaction, changing how your body physically processes the stress.

Will I get my energy back?

Yes. By resolving the “dorsal shutdown” (numbness/exhaustion), we unlock the energy that was previously bound up in survival responses.
