The Big Ideas

01

Simultaneous Brain
+ Body Exercises

Soma18 applies something simple but powerful: Mind and body exercises are more effective when done together. When you move, breathe, and focus your thoughts at the same time, the signal to your brain becomes stronger and more consistent. Instead of thinking one thing and feeling another, your whole system begins to align. This is where real change starts.

02

Teaching Your Brain +
Body That You Are Safe

Safety is the nervous system’s number one need. Safety is not optional; it is the foundation the nervous system depends on to function, adapt, and feel at ease. For most of human history, that safety was created through daily movement. As people moved through their lives, their nervous systems received what they needed most, clear, consistent signals that they were safe. Using a simple concept called the Restored Nervous System Loop, you’ll learn how to align your mind and body with your core human needs, creating a steady sense of safety, connection, and ease.

Your Ancestors
Still Speak

I will teach you how to use your unique family tree and cultural heritage to reconnect with deep internal patterns, awakening the resilience, harmony, and wisdom carried through generations.

My parents came from Norway, and I used my family tree and the stories of my ancestors to help shape my mind-body practice. My ancestors adapted, survived, and thrived within a demanding environment, developing strengths through the way they lived, worked, moved, and connected. 

The numbers are staggering. Go back just 20 generations—about 500 years—and you’re connected to over a million ancestors. Their biology lives in you. The way they moved, responded to stress, and found safety helped shape the nervous system you carry today.

We are living in a world we weren’t designed for. It’s like being dropped into a modern world with an ancient system. We are aliens in a foreign land. Soma18 brings things back into alignment by working with your body and brain the way they were designed to function.

SOMA18 CAN HELP

Why 18 Minutes?

The “18” in Soma18 isn’t a magic number—it’s a practical one. At 18 minutes a day, you naturally build toward around 100 hours in a year.

Research shows that 15–20 minutes of daily movement is the sweet spot to improve mood, support brain function, and reduce long-term health risks when done consistently.

Soma18 simply gives you a structure and a motivation to make that happen. Simple practice, done consistently, is what creates real change.
