Experience the interconnectedness of your mind, body, and relationships by understanding your unique nervous system.
Learn how your particular nervous system shapes the climate of relationships – in yourself, with others, and in the world we co-create.
“What I have learnt about myself made a fundamental difference in my life. A small shift in perspective improved my quality of life dramatically.”
Welcome
I’m Delphine Oliver — an Integral Coach (ICF-PCC) and nervous system specialist (MSc), with a deep commitment to supporting sensitive individuals live with greater ease and presence.
With over 25 years of experience in both medical and coaching fields, I combine a deep understanding of the human body with a passion for helping others learn how their particular nervous systems shape the climate of relationships – in oneself, with others, and in the world we co-create.
My journey from clinical physiotherapy to integral coaching has provided me with a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of mind, body, and relationship. By integrating self-regulation practices rooted in neuroscience, somatic intelligence, and systemic awareness, I help people enhance their relationships - with themselves, with others, and with the world around them.
What I bring:
25 years of experience as a physiotherapist, MSc in exercise science, my lived experience as a daughter, sister, partner, mother, friend...
Deep knowledge of Polyvagal Theory, the Enneagram, adult development, family and systemic constellation work, and Functional Fluency
A presence that welcomes clarity and mystery — attuned, relational, and grounded
A commitment to nervous system work as cultural healing, not just personal relief
“Delphine’s course came at the perfect time for me. I had just welcomed my second baby and my nervous system was completely overwhelmed. Each week the sessions gave me an opportunity to check in with what was going on in my body and provided valuable insights into and techniques to manage daily overwhelm. I also gained a better understanding around how to support my very spirited toddler through the transition into becoming a big sister. My whole family benefited from the course. What I really appreciated was how Delphine pointed out all the ways in which we already support our nervous systems so that optimising these instincts felt easy and doable. I learnt that subtle shifts in awareness can make a huge difference to the flow, ease, and joy of daily family life. ”
Why the Nervous System Matters
Our nervous system responds to everything we experience: stress, conflict, expectations, transitions, loss.
It adapts — often quietly and automatically.
If this adaptive mode goes on for too long, we can lose touch with ourselves.
Then life gets tight:
We become more easily irritated or exhausted
Relationships suffer
We make more mistakes
Everything starts to feel like an emergency, even when it isn’t
This is not a personal failure.
It’s a survival strategy — one that can leave us depleted over time.
What this work opens up
This work is not about self-optimisation —
it’s about embodied self-responsibility.
You learn how to feel like yourself again, to recognise what you need before you get to breaking point, to evaluate your senses without judgement, and how to stay in contact with others during difficult situations without losing yourself.
This work helps you to:
Take responsibility – without shame
Stay connected – without losing yourself
Show up for others – without burning out
“Enrolling in and committing to the 8-week Nervous System Fundamentals course was an anchoring and supportive programme that seemed so perfectly aligned and timeous. I could speak to many specific elements over the 8 weeks that stood out for me, but the over-riding shift, thanks to the skilful facilitation of Delphine, was an increased attentiveness, awareness, patience and understanding in my nervous system - how it works, how it gets triggered, how it impacts others and how best to support it, and in turn every engagement beyond it.”

“The Nervous System Fundamentals sessions were a weekly reminder to bring more ‘being’ into my daily ‘doing’. The sessions were well-paced and structured to engage deeply. Frameworks and tools offered were on point and grounded in “theory” which I need to make sense of them. I am more intentional, notice patterns sooner, and feel more equipped to make shifts. Delphine is kind, considered, knowledgeable, and skilful in holding space for thoughts, opinions, and emotions to surface and ground these in practical and helpful ways. A worthwhile investment in self-care.”
