Hi! I’m Janae Elisabeth.
Researcher-storyteller. Neurodiversity advocate. Here to share the emerging science of trauma, neurology, relationships, and community.
This is the 5th set of workshops in my 2026 workshop series. PDA stands for Pathological Demand Avoidance or Persistent Drive for Autonomy but neither of those phrases fully define the neurotype. This is a closer look at what PDA is, what it feels like, and how to support this nervous system disability, all from a lived experience perspective, informed by community and by neuroscience.
This course teaches 50 total Vagus Exercises over 12 months. Suitable for neurodivergent people, chronic illness warriors, and mental health professionals. Vagus nerve activation helps us feel our feelings without numbing out or getting flooded.
Easy-to-understand educational flashcards for the home, school, or therapy office. A synthesis of information from medical texts, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, somatic science, and sociology.
An examination of polyvagal theory, trauma science, and social issues pertaining to neurodivergent (ND) people through the lens of my own neurodivergent lived experience.
A deep dive into the nervous system for personal or professional development. Taught through 8 lessons with group discussion and optional reading assignments.
