Nervous System Ninja (Renée Ostertag)

Hi, I’m Dr. Renée Ostertag, a licensed physical therapist — but honestly, I sometimes feel trapped by the title!  Your body is more than joints and muscles: it’s a window into your soul, nervous system, and healing potential. 

Here I share what I’ve learned (and continue learning) about the mind-body connection, stress, trauma, and nervous system health — through stories, insights, and actionable tools to help you reconnect with yourself in a playful, joyful, science-informed way.

I’m here as an educator and coach, not to treat or fix you — but to offer perspectives and practices for those ready to explore healing, post-traumatic growth, and nervous system care.

Healing’s a team sport! I team up with brilliant Dr. Robyn Gisbert (@dr.robyngisbert) — grief expert, teacher, and co-host in exploring the wild world of mind-body connection.
