REGULATION OVER LOVE
The Baby-Making Experiment
A Six-Week Live Workshop About Stress, Body Awareness, Relationships, and the Family Life You Are Preparing to Build
Live on Zoom | Mondays at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time | Begins the third week of September
You can prepare the money.
You can talk about the house.
You can plan for marriage, pregnancy, parenting, caregiving, or the future you want to build.
But there is another part of preparation that often gets overlooked:
How your body responds when life gets stressful.
Regulation Over Love: The Baby-Making Experiment is a six-week live educational experience for individuals and couples who want to better understand how stress may show up in the body, affect communication and recovery, and influence the way they move through relationships and family responsibility.
You do not need to be married.
You do not need to be pregnant.
You do not need to be actively trying to conceive.
And you do not need to attend with a partner.
This experience is for people who want to understand their patterns before pressure becomes the only way they know how to respond.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO REGULATION, START HERE
What Does “Regulation” Mean?
Regulation is the practice of noticing what is happening in your body during stress, pressure, connection, and recovery and learning supportive ways to respond with greater awareness.
Stress does not only happen in your thoughts.
It may also show up through:
changes in your breathing
muscle tension
difficulty sleeping or recovering
irritability
feeling overwhelmed
shutting down during difficult conversations
reacting before you understand what you are feeling
difficulty reconnecting after conflict or pressure
feeling like you always have to keep going
Regulation education helps you become more familiar with those patterns and gives you practical ways to begin responding differently.
This is not about being calm all the time.
It is about learning to recognize your signals earlier.
WHY THIS MATTERS BEFORE FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY
A Clear Plan Does Not Always Mean a Regulated Body
You may know what kind of relationship or family life you want.
You may have already talked about:
finances
housing
timing
pregnancy
parenting
work schedules
household roles
caregiving
shared responsibility
Those conversations matter.
But your ability to communicate, recover, stay connected, and respond under pressure matters too.
When stress is running underneath the surface, it may influence how you speak, listen, rest, make decisions, handle conflict, or carry responsibility.
Regulation Over Love gives you a structured place to begin learning those patterns before the responsibilities get bigger.
WHO THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR
This experience may be a good fit if you are:
preparing for a deeper partnership
considering pregnancy now or in the future
preparing for parenthood
already parenting and wanting to understand your stress patterns differently
building a household or family with another person
preparing for caregiving or greater responsibility
noticing that stress affects your communication or recovery
wanting practical education about stress and body awareness
interested in learning regulation without entering a clinical or treatment-based setting
You can participate individually or with a partner.
The goal is not to tell you whether, when, or how to create a family.
The goal is to help you better understand the state you may be bringing into the relationships and responsibilities you are building.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Across six live Mondays, you will explore:
Monday 1 — Stress From Head to Toe
How pressure may show up through breath, posture, tension, digestion, sleep, energy, and recovery.
Monday 2 — Regulation Is More Than Rest
The difference between resting, distracting yourself, pushing through, and intentionally supporting recovery.
Monday 3 — Body Awareness Before Reaction
How to notice physical signals before pressure becomes conflict, shutdown, avoidance, or impulsive decisions.
Monday 4 — Regulation Inside Relationships
How stress may influence communication, intimacy, patience, listening, connection, and shared responsibility.
Monday 5 — Regulation Before Family Responsibility
Why body awareness and recovery patterns may matter before deeper partnership, pregnancy, parenting, caregiving, or increased responsibility.
Monday 6 — Build Your Personal Regulation Rhythm
How to create a realistic regulation practice you can continue using in everyday life.

MEET YOUR FACILITATOR
Led by the Founder of Head-to-Toe Healing
Erick Gordon, a.k.a. Chief Soma, is the founder of Head-to-Toe Healing and the creator of its regulation education work.
His professional journey has included work across emergency medical services, dialysis care, massage therapy, and body-based support.
After years of working closely with people and observing how stress, pressure, body awareness, and recovery can affect everyday life, his work expanded beyond hands-on services into regulation education.
Head-to-Toe Healing now uses that educational approach to help people become more aware of the signals their bodies may be giving them and create structured opportunities for learning, reflection, and practice.
Erick brings more than 10 years of experience across medical and body-based care environments into the educational foundation of this work.
Head-to-Toe Healing’s educational experiences do not replace medical care, mental-health treatment, diagnosis, or services provided by appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.

This practice is informed by research on how the nervous system responds to stress, safety, and body-based awareness. You do not need to study the science to benefit from this work, but these resources can give you deeper insight into how the body regulates, why stress may show up physically, and how gentle awareness may support regulation and recovery.
