About the Clinic
Gabriel, Founder
The Autonomics Clinic is a neuro-transformation clinic. We work with complex neurological disorders, apply autonomics to the treatment of stress-related disease, and support the development of elite performance and resiliency. Ideally we do this face-to-face in the Living World, but we also make house calls, and work on Zoom because our clients live around the world...
❋ Expert ConsultationMany of our clients come to us after failing to find healing from complex neurological issues with mainstream neurologists or traditional medical practitioners.
❋ Regular CadenceWe customize treatment pathways for your nervous system, and the cadence at which it can integrate new information
❋ Depth Transformation WorkWe are deeply expert in resolving stress-related disorders at their roots. We specialize in depth neuro-transformational work.
❋ Adjunct ServicesWe have access to cutting-edge neuro-technologies, neuro-transformation tools, and proprietary software because we build these things.

Our handbook for new clients. (We’ve written a handbook specifically to orient new clients to the way that we work with the nervous system. It is used by somatics and nervous system oriented practitioners around the world.)
“Working with Gabriel has been a profoundly healing experience. He brings together clinical expertise, intuitive sensitivity, and deeply human presence in a way that feels both precise and compassionate. With his many years of study of the Autonomic Nervous System, Gabriel has a rare ability to sense and track what the system is expressing—often in ways I wasn’t consciously aware of. This allows him to engage with subtle aspects of my body and energy field that are usually hidden, creating space for transformation at the deepest levels. What I value most is the co-creative nature of the work. Gabriel doesn’t just “do” something to me—he negotiates with me, creating invitations for my own system to engage, respond, and participate. This makes the healing both collaborative and empowering, as I’m drawn into the process of my own deep work. His ability to hold space—calm, attuned, and unwavering—opens the door for shifts not just in the physical structures of the body, but in the energetic matrix of the human field. The changes that arise are both subtle and profound, leaving me feeling more integrated, connected, and alive. Gabriel’s work is truly one of a kind. I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking meaningful, embodied healing.”
— Deniz Oktay, MS, BC-DMT, LCAT, RCSTHOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR PROGRESS TOWARDS YOUR INITIAL TREATMENT OBJECTIVES?
Beyond my imagination - I’ve dreamed of my body releasing from a lifetime of tension. I’ve read about this, heard promises of this and now I know, truly understanding how it feels. To describe my hands & legs without tension - awesome - just smiling from ear to ear. We surpassed what I was able to imagine. At first I was surprised how prepared I felt in our first session — it felt natural to let go of meaning making & fixing and to simply allow. I was ready on many levels. And stunned & fascinated & intrigued by the release.
HOW MUCH SYMPTOM RELIEF HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED?
No longer waking up at 3:30am to explosive cortisol surges. (At least 20 years) My guts are much calmer — from close to IBS regularly to relaxed gut; few emergencies. My hands are relaxed when I sleep & walk. My legs are getting there. And my skill of assisting the muscles to lengthen out of the contracted dreaming has improved upon waking in the morning.
AS YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM HAS HEALED/TRANSFORMED, HAVE YOU NOTICED OTHER CHANGES IN THE WAY YOU FEEL, YOUR PERCEPTIONS, OR YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE?
I’ve noticed so many shifts, some quite subtle: I’m calmer, smile more, laugh out loud more, even caught myself singing - out loud! My overall vitality matches my belief system. Described as more depth & breadth. My posture is naturally more upright. I’m walking with comfort because my hips are gliding. My vigilance has softened to a broader perception of what’s going on around, feels more agile.
HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY CHANGES TO BASELINE STRESS LEVELS?
I especially noticed my body holding my fear with the latest medical diagnosis; I spoke about the fear (historically there was no voice) and I was able to regulate in the doctors office, stay attuned to what was being presented and I didn’t rush to ‘fix’ the problem with research, trusting my gut and caregivers. So returning to a fully attuned body rather quickly.
ON A SCALE OF 1-10, HOW SATISFIED ARE YOU WITH THE COURSE OF TREATMENT?
10+. I am deeply touched by the patience and subtleties of the work we have done together. The quintessential moments of desire, practice and acceptance for me, matched with Gabriel’s masterful skill of attention, intuition & wisdom - a trust dance. It’s beautiful work.

The Hearth Science autonomics clinic is a neuro-transformation clinic that centralizes autonomics in the diagnosis and treatment of stress-related disorders, and engages in depth neuro-transformational work with individuals and groups. We are frequently consulted about complex neurological issues that have an autonomic component, including various kinds of trauma and complex trauma exposures, and neurological issues with balance and proprioception. Many people referred to us on the healing side of our work have consulted with numerous neurologists, or been repeatedly told that there is no treatment for their symptoms.
We do not treat complex chronic illness, MCAS, ME/CFS, POTS, dysautonomias, or auto-immune issues, but we can direct you to appropriate referral partners including our partners at Gordon Medical Associates, founded by our colleague Eric Gordon, MD, who runs a practice in San Rafael, California focused on unraveling complex chronic illness with whom we consult as adjunct (typically these diagnoses are complex intersections of autonomic, immunological, and endocrine systems, and in those situations we are adjunct to primary care, but not the treatment home.)
We also work on the autonomics of elite performance, broadly construed. This facet of our work includes work with elite athletes, as well as leaders, visionaries, and executives to address the deepest neurological strata of performance.
If you are interested in a consultation with the Autonomics clinic, which is the first step in a prospective clinical engagement with us, please fill out the form below. Let us know if your goal is simply to have an additional perspective or neurological consultation, or whether you’re hoping to work one-on-one with Gabriel. After the initial consultation, if we believe there is a good fit, and we believe we can help you, we will design a treatment framework. In most cases, we work with with people every other week for 45 to 90 minutes per session for a mutually-agreed upon duration: at minimum six sessions. We do this work on a cadence such that your nervous system can enter into the rhythm of call-and-response with the work.
The work is extremely focused, and we only work with a handful of clients at any given time. Our results typically exceed client expectations.
Gabriel is the Founder of Hearth Science, the Developer of Autonomics, and the principal architect of the Autonomic Compass: an autonomically-informed diagnostics and treatment software platform that we built from scratch. He is the author of 14 books about the autonomic nervous system, trains healing arts practitioners around the world, and teaches and lectures internationally.
