Get neuroscience-based and trauma-informed support
to help you grow into the person
you have always wanted to be.
Have you always been a forward-thinker, a curious soul, and a tender spirit?
Have you studied, worked-on, researched, and examined the relationships in your life?
Do you spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure people out?
Do you have the sense that you’d like to grow and expand beyond your current experience? Do you think you’d be great at guiding others to do so too?
Are you often the person others lean on to feel better?
Do you want to understand, and help others understand, what happens when we get “thrown off”? And what to do about it?
Do you see your people reeling from one crisis or another, and working to patch themselves up, only to find yet another crisis awaits around the corner? Do you want to know how to help them break that cycle?
Are you curious how to unlock a kind of happiness that isn’t dependent on thousands of external things needing to change first?
Are you trying to be an ally and show up — to make the world a better place — but don’t know where to start?
This is the program for you.
There is not yet another institution in the world where you can get this training. We have spent the last 20 years, 13 in active 1:1 practice with our pioneering clients, researching, studying, and supporting others in emotional processing and healing work.
We had to go the long way to locate and pool the diverse resources, in order to build a comprehensive and cogent system, and then to watch it work in our own lives and in the lives of hundreds of our clients and students, just to be certain we had cultivated something that could be passed on to others successfully, repeatably, and in a straightforward and accessible manner.
We’ve spent our lives perfecting this curriculum, so now you can get the best emotional support training on the planet, at the tip of your fingers.

What’s It Like?
This program is designed for comprehensive learning.
We’ll show you what this work feels like. You will receive extensive, in-depth personal support from both Natalie and Nathan. You’ll understand what it’s like to have a master coach use cutting-edge neuroscience, effective support strategies, and over a decade’s worth of experience, to your maximum benefit. You will experience first-hand what brain-change feels and looks like.
And we’ll pull back the curtain to show you the framework behind the support — how the neuro-emotional matrix functions, what is happening neurochemically to help you feel better, why and how the support strategies work.
And, we’ll train you to use this modality with the beloveds in your life — your family members, your partner, your business partner, and your clients. We’ll show you how to be with clients in a way that drastically changes their lives without burning out your own.
Learn how emotions work in the brain and body and what that means for your client’s life -- including finances, relationships, health, and so much more.
Find out how to work with emotions so that they don't build-up, blow up, make people sick, or make them do things they wish we hadn't.
Understand how to change emotional habits in a way that re-trains the brain -- making your clients more capable and resilient in the face of future challenges.
Learn how to support the development of a strong safety foundation within oneself that is unshakeable even when things are really rough.
Help others make sense of all the awful, weird, uncomfortable happenings that occur in life, and know what to do to alter or avoid those kinds of happenings.
Support your clients to re-parent themselves and ease trauma.

Natalie Christensen
I didn’t even know that becoming emotionally sovereign was a thing.
Now that I am an expert, now that I have over a decade and a half of practice, and have helped hundreds of people around the world develop and leverage their own Emotional Sovereignty in order to have the finances, careers, families, and relationships they have always wanted, I only wish, wish, wish I had learned about it sooner.
I could have used this going all the way back to my childhood. Looking back I can see that throughout my history, my tactic for dealing with my feelings was to take some sort of action.
When I was scared, I would do something daring. When I felt sad I’d try to convince myself I wasn’t a victim. When I felt anxious about someone being mad at me or displeased by me — I realize now I felt anxious constantly — I made sure to excel. I was on time. I was smart. I was hypervigilant so that I could anticipate the needs and feelings of others and stay “safely” in a pleasing zone.
When I anticipated shame for being new to something, or not perfect yet, I ran. In fact, coming into adulthood and sure that I would do it wrong and displease my family, I ran all the way from California to Montana. Away from a family I dearly loved.
When we met, I admired Nathan so. Even though we set up our relationship with the goal of being our full authentic selves, and even though I had never before felt the level of love, devotion, and support that I received from N, my fears about my lovabilty and acceptability did not go away.
I know now that I was trying to get away from those fears by continuing my same pattern — watching Nathan closely, anticipating N’s possible dislikes and trying to “get it right”, so that N was never upset with me. This impossible hustle seemed my only option, so that I wasn’t anxious, scared, and lonely.
I had already left all my family members, but I also (subconsciously) whittled down my friend-group so there were fewer people to please. I had to, the pleasing-others hustle was taxing, I had to save my energy.
Even though none of this worked, it was all that I had.
It wasn’t until researching a particularly strong upset my toddler step-daughter experienced that we began researching emotion and how it works in the brain. I was shocked: WHAT???!!!! That’s what’s happening? That’s why I am working so hard and still not feeling better?! That’s why my fear and sadness and anxiety is just getting bigger?
You show me something like that and I am off to the races. Once I learn there is an alternative, I do not have patience for doing things that don’t work.
I am now deep into developing my own Emotional Sovereignty. We have enjoyed our results so much that we have been helping others do the same for 16 years.
My relationship with Nathan, and my relationships with the other precious beings in my life — including my family of origin, are now truly authentic, relaxed, and based entirely on connection.
This is the kind of living and loving dreams are made of.
I didn’t luck into this, I gave it to myself by becoming emotionally sovereign.
You can too.
Nathan M McTague
Nathan M McTague
As a co-founder, trainer, and coach of the Center for Emotional Education, I’ve spent the last 16 years supporting my courageous clients in having more fulfilling relationships. And no matter what talk-centered, body-centered, and/or energy-centered work we’re doing — I am always aware (or made so, if I forget) that so much of the work is about how the client’s Emotional Brain and nervous system were programmed by their early and pivotal experience(s).
Among other things, I got the programming to:
Eschew/ignore/get rid of/fix all the "ugly” emotions.
Physically discharge the unavoidable or unfixable intense feelings.
Use intellectual prowess to overcome other deficits (financial, physical, social, emotional).
Appease, then fight, then fly, then freeze (in survival terms) in reaction to most uncomfortable situations.
Be pleasing.
Don’t forget to be pleasing.
Also, be pleasing.
Secure both connection and validation through producing, and through manipulating perception(s) of me.
Among other results, my programming got me:
High sensitivity to stimulus
High sensitivity to others’ emotional energy
Personal emotional ignorance and processing atrophy
A chain of relationships that were just to prove I mattered, including ones in which I let myself be misused
Loss of important relationships
“Bipolar” boundaries — flimsy or non-existent and then rigid and poky
So sick and tired of trying to be pleasing that I receded from social engagement
When Natalie and I met, I was just awakening to really honouring and loving myself. It took a divorce, two babies, and single parenthood to jar that loose for me. I was still also new to learning (through my children) about developing a self, and all the emotional labor that goes into supporting a young child through their development.
But still, it wasn’t until we started on our journey together that I really began to dig in voraciously to discover what could be done to re-teach and re-parent myself with the secure attachment and emotional tenderness we all should have been soaking up during our early years.
Now, nearly 20 years after teaming up, Natalie and I are more in love and more able to be in the experience of our love than ever before. But that’s not all, not by a long shot! We also get to have rich, rewarding relationships with our kids, and our parents, and our friends and community. And we also get to know our emotional selves, and feel into them, and own them, and operate them with skill. We’ve also deeply healed longstanding emotional wounds we had both been carrying since childhood. We’ve had more success in our businesses. And we’ve been healthier and happier than at any other time in our lives.
And now, through our years of learning and growing and enjoying, and after 16 years of supporting others on this same path — I feel so extremely grateful and pleased to be able to share all that we’ve learned with the students of Emotional Sovereignty School.
What Our Students Say
“I could not have anticipated the profound impact this certification program has had on my life. Unparalleled support of my personal journey, while simultaneously preparing me for my career as a Neurological Empowerment Coach. There’s nothing like it.
- Kate”
“I am thrilled with the certification program. Natalie and Nathan are masterful teachers and coaches and it’s a transformative experience to study with them. I am learning so much and enjoying applying these teachings in my life and in my 1-1 work with clients.
This work changed my life in a profound way, it feels like clearing a dense fog on a lens I’ve been looking through since childhood and realizing that things are not as they seemed. The world becomes brighter and more meaningful.
- Nina”
“I decided to do this course after working one to one with Natalie. I had met Natalie through an online course where she was able to respond immediately to a personal situation that had literally been eating away at me for many years. Her response and knowledge offered me a way of working with the situation that got straight to the heart of the matter. I knew at that point that I wanted to work with her in more depth.
I quickly became interested in their approach with working with my own clients. As a herbalist who was working more and more with women and their emotional lives I felt that this knowledge was vital to support the work I was already doing in my own practice.
Having experienced the power of the work in my own life I wanted to share this approach with my own clients.
As a herbalist I was aware that supporting women to make lifestyle changes to support their health means more than just writing a list of suggestions. To help someone make choices that align with their values, health and aspirations means helping someone understand the emotional blocks that prevent them from doing that.
I already understood the power of empathy and deep listening but Natalie and Nathans approach gave me the tools to take this work to another level in understanding our brain states and being able to guide people to their executive powers.
This course was invaluable, unique and fits perfectly with the plant intuition work I do with my clients. It has given me confidence to work in the way that I want to work and this has come from the support and dedication that Nathan and Natalie have given to the development of this work. I am immensely grateful for their commitment to this work and to their emotional intelligence and kindness that shines from them.
I am continuously learning from them and they offer knowledge which is hard to find elsewhere. My own healing practice has been transformed by this course and by the one to one coaching work I do with Natalie.
