Stress and Trauma Recovery
Your body is speaking. The headaches, the tight chest, the racing thoughts, the exhaustion that sleep does not fix.
At Vagus and Vine Apothecary, we bring together neurobiological herbalism and trauma-informed nervous system care to help your body finally exhale.
If you’re carrying chronic stress, navigating trauma recovery, grieving, living with autoimmune symptoms, or just feeling burnt out, you’re not too much and you’re not broken. Your body has been protecting you. Here, we work gently and scientifically to help it feel safe again.
Who Vagus and Vine Serves
I work primarily with women who feel stuck in survival mode and want evidence informed, trauma sensitive support for their whole person. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
-
Women with chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout who feel wired and tired at the same time
-
Women healing from trauma, CPTSD, church hurt, or relational wounds who want trauma informed and sensitive care
-
Women with PTSD, ADHD, AuDHD, sensory overwhelm, or nervous system dysregulation who need support that honors their wiring
-
Women living with autoimmune conditions, MS, lupus, or chronic inflammation who want holistic support alongside medical care
-
Women who want values aligned care that respects their worldview, faith background, and personal convictions
-
Women who are curious about herbal medicine, somatic movement, and mind body wellness but do not want mysticism, new age practices, or anything spiritually unsafe - in other words there is no "woo" we strictly utilize herbal medicine and science based somatic practices without compromise to belief systems.

• Tension, muscle tightness, or shakiness
• Digestive disruption related to stress

Our goal: To help you move from reactive to regulated—building a body that feels safe, steady, and resilient again.
Conditions We Address
Our Approach
At Vagus and Vine, we combine science, safety, and compassion to help the body relearn steadiness. Our work focuses on restoring regulation through the nervous system: the bridge between mind, body, and long-term health. Our practitioner is Jane Hanna, CH, CYT a Clinical Neurobiological Herbalist
Trauma Informed Yoga Therapist, Founder, Vagus and Vine Apothecary and Creator of the Restoration Reset Method.
We start by understanding your unique stress patterns, health history, and goals. From there, we design a plan that fits your body’s capacity, not a one-size model. Every plan is personalized, evidence-informed, and guided by what your nervous system can handle.
Our work integrates two core methods:
01
Neurobiological Herbalism
A clinical approach to herbal support that targets the brain, vagus nerve, and stress response. Each blend is formulated to help restore balance at a cellular level supporting neurotransmitters, reducing inflammation, and easing the physiological load of chronic stress.
Every session is calm, unhurried, and rooted in trauma-informed care. We move at your pace, honoring your body’s cues and building trust with your nervous system over time.
The goal isn’t perfection, it’s regulation. A body that feels safe enough to rest, connect, and heal.
02
Restorative Movement Therapy™
A gentle, nervous-system-based approach using slow, guided movement and breathwork to release tension, improve vagal tone, and help the body shift from high alert into safety. These sessions are calming and adaptive: they are not yoga, not exercise, but regulation.
