Speaking & Training for Leaders Who Support Others

Equip Your Staff, Students, and Community With the Science of Nervous System Regulation

When your team understands how to regulate their nervous systems, everything changes. Communication improves. Stress becomes manageable. Classrooms calm. Teams work together. People actually enjoy their jobs again.

And that’s exactly what Jessica Addeo brings to your organization.

Meet Jessica

Jessica Addeo is a pediatric occupational therapist turned nervous system coach and the founder of the Nervous System Mastery Institute. With 17+ years of experience working with families, teachers, therapists, and leaders, she brings deep expertise in sensory-based nervous system care and a unique ability to make complex science feel practical, human, and instantly applicable.

Jessica trains the people who support other people—school leaders, therapists, educators, healthcare workers, corporate managers—because when the grown-ups are regulated, calm, and clear… they can lead with presence, empathy, and real impact.

Whether she’s keynoting a conference, leading a school-wide training, or supporting a healthcare team—Jessica meets her audience with warmth, depth, and a healthy dose of humor. She doesn’t just teach regulation—she helps people experience it.

Why Nervous System Training?

Because stress is contagious—but so is calm.

Your staff might know the theory. They might even be practicing mindfulness, drinking water, taking breaks… but if their nervous system is constantly in survival mode, none of it sticks.

Jessica teaches the how—the science-backed, sensory-informed practices that help people actually regulate.

✅ Reduce burnout

✅ Improve emotional regulation and resilience

✅Enhance communication and conflict resolution

✅Increase capacity for empathy, presence, and leadership

✅Create calmer classrooms, safer workplaces, and healthier humans
