Angela MacLeod
Angela experienced profound changes in her wellbeing by working with her own nervous system in conjunction with other modalities. She was so enthusiastic about her discoveries she began studying the Polyvagal nervous system.
Over the last 4 years she has been developing this course on Nervous System Resilience and sharing it with colleagues and students, clients and friends. She draws on the work of Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, Bessel van der Kolk, Bonnie Badenoch and others who are currently at the leading edge of applying the Polyvagal Theory to therapeutic and human development areas of life.
Angela is a certified Senior Embodied Processing practitioner, and a teacher and coach in the following modalities: Laban Movement Analysis and Qigong (Taoist movement practice).

Testimonials
This Nervous System Resilience Course has been helpful to me both personally and in my business serving clients. Angela’s clear and articulate approach to this often over-complicated subject, was lovingly anchored in embodied experience to really ground it.
. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to better utilise this crucial part of our physiology to improve the quality of their own life and/or the lives of those they serve.
Gretel Jane ~ Separation + Transition Coach, Trauma Healing Practitioner, Embodied Processing Practitioner
"I've read and watched so much on the Polyvagal theory, and always struggle to apply what I'm learning to my life. Your presentation was the clearest by far that I've seen, and helped me to see that the daily Reiki, Qigong and meditation practices I have are the Polyvagal theory in action! There are so many sharing information these days, but few with the clarity that you have brought to this. There is a wave of appreciation coming your way from New Zealand right now. Namaste."

Philip Jerzy
Philip Jerzy Nienartowicz is a meditation teacher and certified KI facilitator and is also trained in the Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry method. In his one-on-one sessions, he often combines guided inquiry with teaching, believing that building self-sufficiency and working with the resistance/uncertainty that blocks it is paramount to a real shift in well-being. Philip occasionally provides support for KI facilitator training and is skilled in helping people through the inquiry learning process. During the Covid-19 pandemic he co-hosted weekly inquiry workshops helping people begin or deepen their skills. You can listen to his guided meditations and guided inquiries at https://insighttimer.com/strongjoy
Testimonial from Scott Kiloby:
“Although Philip is in his 20s, don’t let his age fool you. He is an old and wise soul and among the most skilled facilitators in our program. At the Kiloby Center, it’s virtually impossible to get most young adults under the age of 25 into inquiry or awakening. They either haven’t suffered enough yet, aren’t mature enough yet or are too focused on worldly things. Philip shatters that stereotype to pieces. I have no idea whether Philip even wants to be a teacher. There’s no telling how far Philip will go, but I foresee him helping thousands of people in the future. He is certainly more skilled, mature and humble than even the most popular younger nonduality teachers I see coming out of the woodwork these days. When Philip was evaluated on his skill level at the end of KI training, I immediately certified him. It was a no-brainer. He had mastered the skills. I felt like I was watching someone who had been training in this work for decades. He is truly a natural born facilitator. I taught him the skills. But he took it from there. Now he is his own brand. But more than that, he is a very sweet, non-judgmental, open and loving guy.
Watch for the name Philip Jerzy. You’ll be seeing it more and more in the next few years.” ~ Scott Kiloby
