San Francisco Bay Area, CA - January 30, 2026 - Amid the rising call for a "great nervous system reset" in 2026 wellness, somatic educator and mental health advocate Sandra Larsen releases Somatic Superpowers: Unlock Your Inner Hero & Conquer Life's Challenges (bi-lingual Spanish; Poderes Somáticos). This bilingual self-help resource introduces the Innercises™ Method—practical, polyvagal-informed somatic exercises designed for nervous system regulation, limbic retraining, emotional mastery, trauma recovery, and peak performance. Rooted in the latest polyvagal theory, neuroscience, and somatic practices, the book translates interoception (the body's "sixth sense") and vagus nerve activation into simple daily Innercises™ such as HeartMath™ coherence, Butterfly Hugs, breathwork, sensory grounding, TRE®, and mindfulness techniques.
Presented as a hero's journey inspired by The NeverEnding Story, it helps readers shift from overwhelm and "I can't" states to empowered calm, creativity, and courage—ideal for professionals, parents, educators aiding student anxiety, coaches fostering mental breakthroughs, and anyone healing from personal trauma or chronic stress.
“Everyone carries innate superpowers for resilience and self-regulation,” says Sandra Larsen, creator of the Innercises™ Method. “This book builds a stable foundation through polyvagal-informed nervous system regulation—no quick fixes, just lasting clarity and self-trust. My recovery from a 2002 spinal cord injury showed me somatic therapy's power to heal body and mind. I'm sharing these tools to help others transform chaos into courage and fear into fuel.”
Larsen brings over 25 years as a massage therapist, holistic counselor, and certified instructor in Pilates (BASI), Gyrotonic®, and personal trainer (NASM). Post-injury, she integrated Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®)—as a Level I Facilitator advancing certification—to overcome chronic pain and restore vitality, later volunteering at Horse and Heart equine therapy nonprofit to witness somatic healing's daily impact.
Packed with trackers for neural states, step-by-step Innercises™, and a glossary, the book supports personal growth and professional use in classrooms or coaching. Readers respond warmly: "This bilingual guide turned my gut feelings into superpowers—I'm more present and resilient than ever."
