Natalie Gould shares her journey from severe Long Covid to full recovery, revealing how nervous system regulation transformed not only her Long Covid symptoms but also pre-existing chronic conditions like psoriatic arthritis and migraines.

• Life before illness included working as a CFO and living on a small farm
• Initial Covid infection in July 2021 was mild but led to severe post-viral symptoms
• Main symptoms included PoTS, tachycardia, severe insomnia, cognitive impairment and sound sensitivity
• Within six months, she was essentially bedbound but continued working remotely
• Stabilized symptoms through extreme pacing but remained severely ill for over a year
• Found hope after hearing recovery stories and trying the ANS Rewire program
• Leaving her stressful job was a turning point in her recovery journey
• Used play and creativity as powerful tools for nervous system regulation
• Created characters to personify stress patterns and developed dialogues with them
• Recovery process led to healing of multiple pre-existing conditions
• Now enjoys swing dancing and a fuller life than before illness
• Continues nervous system regulation practices not out of necessity but enjoyment
