About this event

You already know something is wrong. You have known it for years. What you have never been handed is a room where that knowledge gets treated as clinical information instead of anxiety.

This is that room. 

You may be carrying relentless anxiety, exhaustion that sleep does not touch, hormonal shifts no one will name, brain fog, ADHD, chronic pain, gut symptoms, or the residue of something you survived. Or you may not look sick on paper at all, and still know privately that you are not living anywhere near the level you were built  for. Both women belong here. 

The premise is not gentle: you are not failing. You are running an extraordinary life on a nervous system  that has been in survival for years. Discipline cannot move a braced system. Neither can willpower, another supplement, or a better protocol. Regulation is the skill underneath every other skill — and  because it is a skill, it can be taught, practiced, measured, and owned. 

WHAT TO EXPECT 

Four hours, sequenced on purpose. Not a class, not a wellness expo — a single continuous experience for forty individuals, built to take your nervous system from braced to regulated and let you feel the difference in your own body. 

You will move, to get out of your head and back into the body. You will breathe, in ways that shift your physiology on demand. You will lie down for a sound journey and let the system drop all the way down.  And between the practices, you will move through our lounges and meet the clinical layer most people in your position have never been offered. 

THE JOURNEY 

Reconnect — movement to bring you back into your body 

Release — breathwork to move what has been held 

Restore — our signature sound journey: lie down, eyes closed, near-total silence 

THE LOUNGES 

Brain Mapping — see how we read a dysregulated nervous system instead of guessing at it

Functional Medicine — where your biomarkers, hormones and daily life finally get read together

Acupuncture, Massage & Bodywork — hands-on restoration, some of it likely for the first time

Matcha & a healthy snack table — and the company of women who know exactly what you mean

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH 

Not just a calmer afternoon. Every guest leaves with my Regulation-First Quick Start Guide and free access to my Human Systems Assessment — a clear, structured snapshot of your current nervous system state  across nine key domains. It gives you real insight into your own nervous system profile: where you are  braced, where you are depleted, and where regulation needs to begin. You will also leave with a curated  goodie bag of clean products chosen to support regulation, a tote, a hat, and a notebook. You came in knowing something was wrong. You will leave knowing what it is, that it has a name, and that it is trainable. 

WHAT TO WEAR 

Come in something you feel completely comfortable in and can move freely in — there will be movement,  breath and floor work. Soft layers you can settle into for the sound journey are ideal. 

Hosted by The Center Within, a regulation-first practice in Portland, led by Lili Bornio Carrillo, MPAS, PA-C with our full team of practitioners. Held at Pause Meditation. 

Forty seats. 

THE RESET is a wellness and educational experience — not medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or therapy,  and attending does not create a provider-patient relationship with The Center Within or any of our  practitioners. The Regulation-First Quick Start Guide and Human Systems Assessment are general wellness education and self-insight, not medical advice, screening, or diagnosis, and not a substitute for care from  your own physician. If you are experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, or any mental health crisis,  please reach out to your provider. If you are pregnant or managing a cardiovascular or seizure condition,  tell us at registration and we will offer a gentle modification for the breathwork.
