Why This Work Is Different
This work is not just about your thoughts. And it is not just about your body. It is about working with both, together.
I use a personalised blend of top-down and bottom-up approaches. We address your patterns of thinking, behaviour, and mindset alongside your nervous system, biology, and stress responses. We draw from the science of neuroplasticity, emotional processing, and somatic healing. We support your body's healing intelligence and reconnect you to a sense of inner safety.
This is where mind and body reconnect. This is where deep change happens, combining top-down and bottom-up methods to support you as a whole person, brain, body and everything in between.
You do not have to choose between science and soul. This is both.
Healing That Meets You Where You Are
This is not just about nervous system regulation. It is about restoring connection to your body, emotions, and inner safety.
- It is not just tools. It is practitioner-led transformation.
- It is rooted in neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and evidence-based care.
- It is designed for those who have tried everything.
- It is grounded in safety, connection, and real integration. It is about remembering who you are underneath the survival patterns.
I guide you through personalised support that brings real, sustainable change. This is not just about giving you tools to try on your own. It is about guided transformation, where you are supported, seen, and accompanied every step of the way.
It is not about doing more. It is about feeling more whole.
The Foundations of Nervous System Regulation and Trauma Recovery
Practitioner-led work, tailored entirely to your system. Here is what you can expect.
My Approach: The Reset Method
I work with you as a practitioner, not a program. There is no protocol to fit yourself into and no standard set of steps everyone follows. What we do is shaped by what your system actually needs, in the order it can safely receive it.
The Reset Method is the clinical framework I developed over more than a decade of practice and my own lived experience of complex illness. It is built around six interconnected dimensions of change.
- Regulate Build safety, connection and resilience in the body
- Rewire Create new neural patterns through neuroplastic change work
- Resolve Process what has been stored, stuck or unprocessed
- Reinstate Somatic and movement approaches for brain-body connection
- Rebalance Energy psychology and subtle energy work
- Reconnect Rediscover the relationship with yourself and others
Who Is This For?
This is for people who are sensitive, discerning, and exhausted by conflicting advice, and who are searching for something that goes deeper than surface-level strategies. What you are truly seeking is a deeper sense of safety and connection. The Reset Method is designed to help you get to the root of chronic symptoms, through an embodied, relational process that integrates body awareness, emotional healing, nervous system support, and reconnection to the core of who you are.
This work may be for you if you are navigating…
Chronic Illness & Sensitivities
Symptoms that fluctuate, flare, and do not fit a simple explanation
Chronic Fatigue
Depletion that rest does not fix, including ME/CFS, long COVID, and post-viral illness
Health Anxiety & Medical Trauma
Cycles of body checking, fear of symptoms, or distrust of your own body
Trauma
A history that keeps showing up in your body, even when you have done the talking
Emotional Reset
Emotions that feel too big, too flat, or stuck on a loop with no clear way through
Nervous System Dysregulation
A system stuck in overdrive, shutdown, or swinging between the two
Trauma Support
Body-based trauma support that does not require you to retell the whole story
Chronic Pain
Pain patterns that persist beyond what structural explanations account for
A Three-Step Path to Nervous System Change
Imagine waking up with clarity, calm, and a deeper connection to yourself, no longer ruled by your symptoms, but guided by your inner safety.
1. Clarity Session
We begin with a conversation. You share where you are, what you have tried, and what you are hoping for. I share how I work and whether I think I am the right fit for you. There is no pressure. This session is about clarity for both of us.
2. The Reset Method Journey
Choose the length of journey that suits your system: 60, 90, or 120 days. You receive tailored 1:1 support, emotional integration, and embodied nervous system healing with a focus on real-time regulation, safety-building, and deeper reconnection.
3. Ongoing Integration
You will gradually reconnect with your body, build inner trust, and create new capacity for life. Small, specific practices that build capacity rather than add pressure. Sustainable progress, at the pace of your nervous system.
About Lisa Gumieniuk
I Understand Chronic Illness, Nervous System Dysregulation, Symptoms and Trauma Because I Lived It
I wasn't always a practitioner. I was a patient, lost in a maze of symptoms. I went from high-performing, winning awards at work, and cycling 40km on weekends, to barely being able to get out of bed. Brain fog. Fatigue. Days spent lying down, disconnected from life and all alone.
I spent many years searching for answers myself. Trying to seek healing and health from self-help books, Google, positive affirmations, talk therapy and more, without significant improvements.
In my desperate search for healing, I tried it all. Supplements, nutrition plans, hyperthermia, ozone, detox therapies, bioresonance therapy, coffee enemas, saunas, and more. If there is a treatment, I have probably done it. Some helped temporarily. But nothing brought real, lasting change.
I came to realise that for some of us, healing is not linear or simple. We are the complex cases. The ones who do not respond to quick fixes or off-the-shelf brain retraining courses.
What is key is an integrative approach that goes beyond mindset and behaviour change to address and resolve the underlying dysregulation occurring in the body.
Once I began truly working with my nervous system, things started to shift. That included trauma healing, nutritional change (I now live a carnivore lifestyle), and a complete re-approach to how I supported my body and emotions.
But I did not stop with my own healing. I trained clinically and professionally. I wanted to guide others with the skill and care I never had. Since 2015, I have worked with hundreds of clients facing the most complex challenges. My integrative, trauma-informed approach includes Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, EFT, somatic vagal toning, memory reconsolidation, and more.
This is not surface-level coaching. It is practitioner-led transformation and clients often say: "You just get it." Because I do.

What Clients Are Saying
Real people. Real conditions. Real words. Nothing has been embellished.
For five years I battled chronic insomnia. I tried everything. DNRS, specialists, acupuncture, supplements. Nothing worked. Every night was filled with fear and adrenaline. After 11 EFT Tapping sessions with Lisa, my sleep is 99% better. I feel safer, calmer, and more trusting in my body. I finally feel like myself again, full of hope that my body knows how to rest.

In the first week, the shifts were massive. The burning pain I'd had for months after medication dropped by 98%. For the first time I felt like my body was not broken. It just needed the right kind of support. Lisa showed me that EFT is really about helping regulate my nervous system, and that changed everything.
Months of burning pain from medication. Lying awake in fear. Tried EFT alone but couldn't make it work.
Burning pain down 98%. Tapping to calm the system at night. Body no longer felt broken.
I have invested thousands of dollars and thousands of hours over 12 years. Traditional psychotherapy, antidepressants, everything recommended by the medical system. The Reset program has taken me to the highest level so far. I have a much bigger capacity to regulate my emotions, like huge. It felt safe to be vulnerable, and I felt tangible improvements after every session.
You had a variety of practical tools and you didn't have a one-size-fits-all approach. You validated where I was coming from. My energy levels have increased from around 20% to 60-70%. I am now sleeping 6 to 7 nights of good sleep each week, getting off to sleep within 5 to 10 minutes. You are a GIFT.
CFS. Energy at 20%. Constant brain fog. Insomnia 5 nights out of 7. Breathlessness on exertion.
Energy 60-70%. Sleeping 6-7 nights per week. Falling asleep within 5-10 minutes.
Working with Lisa changed my mindset and the way I communicate with people and deal with conflict and confrontation, and it's only the beginning. It was like a therapy session on steroids, but it all came from me. Lisa just facilitated the process. It is really powerful stuff.
