Rise Again: 1:1 Nervous System Regulation for Business Owners

Reclaim Your Breath, Clarity, and Leadership Capacity

Running a business demands everything, your time, energy, focus, and emotional reserves. But when you're constantly in fight-or-flight mode, making decisions from stress rather than clarity, your leadership suffers. Your health suffers. Your business suffers.

And no one tells you it will be this hard, not just the business challenges, but the toll it takes on your nervous system, your body, your relationships.

Rise Again is a private, eight-session transformation program designed specifically for business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are ready to lead from a regulated nervous system rather than survival mode. Created by Chris Rapaport someone who's been exactly where you are after 24 years running a multi-seven-figure construction business, experiencing the same burnout, stress, and disconnect you might be feeling now.

Using a gentle, body-based breathing practice called Spiritus Breathwork, combined with nervous system regulation techniques and practical strategies you can use immediately, this comprehensive program provides six full guided breathing sessions plus foundation and integration work. Through conscious breathing, you'll progressively release the chronic stress your body has been storing, process built-up tension, and develop the internal capacity to lead with clarity, presence, and sustainable energy.

Think of it as physical therapy for your nervous system, using your breath as the tool to shift from constant fight-or-flight mode into calm, clear leadership.

Who This Program Is For

Rise Again is designed for business owners and entrepreneurs who are experiencing:

Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation:

• Constantly feeling "on edge" or unable to switch off

• Difficulty sleeping or true rest

• Decision fatigue and mental fog

• Physical tension (jaw clenching, tight shoulders, shallow breathing)

Burnout and disconnection:

• Running on empty but unable to stop

• Feeling disconnected from your original vision or purpose

• Showing up for everyone else while depleting yourself

• Success that feels hollow or unsustainable

Leadership challenges rooted in nervous system overwhelm:

• Reactive decision-making under pressure

• Difficulty delegating or trusting others

• People-pleasing or conflict avoidance that undermines boundaries

• Imposter syndrome or persistent self-doubt

A knowing that something needs to shift:

• You've achieved external success but internal peace feels out of reach

• You recognize patterns of stress but don't know how to change them

• You want to lead from presence, not pressure

• You're ready to invest in yourself the way you invest in your business

If you've tried therapy, coaching, meditation apps, or time management strategies but still feel stuck in stress patterns, Rise Again addresses what's often missing: somatic release and nervous system rewiring.

Why Work With Chris?

Chris isn't just a practitioner, he's walked the path you're on.

After 24 years of running a multi-seven-figure construction business, Chris knows firsthand the toll that entrepreneurship takes. The constant decision-making. The weight of responsibility for your team, clients, and bottom line. The pressure to keep everything moving while your own wellbeing gets pushed aside. The moment you realize success isn't sustainable if it's costing you your health, relationships, and peace.

Chris has been there. He's experienced the burnout, the disconnect, the chronic stress that becomes your baseline. And he's done the deep work to change it, not through surface-level stress management, but through fundamental nervous system regulation and somatic healing.

This lived experience matters. Chris understands the specific pressures of business ownership in a way that traditional therapists or coaches may not. He knows what it's like to make high-stakes decisions under pressure, to carry the weight of payroll and performance, to struggle with switching off at the end of the day. He knows the resistance that comes with admitting you need support, and the courage it takes to actually do the inner work.

Now, as a certified Spiritus Breathwork and Reiki practitioner with specialized training in trauma-informed facilitation, Chris combines his business experience with professional healing modalities. He's not teaching theory, he's sharing what actually worked to transform his own nervous system, leadership capacity, and quality of life.

Chris's approach is:

• Credible and relatable - He's been in your shoes and rebuilt from the inside out

• Grounded and practical - This work fits into real life, not an idealized version of it

• Safe and trauma-informed - You'll never be pushed beyond what feels right

• Business-aware - He understands deadlines, pressure, and the reality of running a company

• Results-focused - While the work is deep, it's also pragmatic and measurable

When Chris says "I understand what you're going through," it's not a platitude, it's the truth. And when he says "this work changes everything," he's speaking from direct experience of building a life and leadership style that's sustainable, present, and aligned.

Why This Investment Makes Business Sense

As a business owner, you understand ROI. Consider what chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation is currently costing you:

Direct Costs:

• Poor decisions made under stress (could cost $10,000-$100,000+)

• Health issues and medical expenses

• Lost productivity from burnout and mental fog

• Missed opportunities you can't see clearly enough to take

Indirect Costs:

• Damaged relationships with team, partners, family

• Reputation impact from reactive leadership

• Business stagnation or decline

• The immeasurable cost of living disconnected from yourself

Most business owners spend more than $3,333 monthly dealing with the symptoms of nervous system dysregulation. This program addresses the root cause.

You're not just investing in breathwork, you're investing in:

• Sustainable leadership capacity that doesn't burn you out

• Clear, confident decision-making under pressure

• A nervous system that supports rather than sabotages your success

• The ability to build a business that doesn't cost you your health and relationships

This is strategic business investment, not self-care spending.

• Own or lead a business and feel the weight of that responsibility

• Recognize that stress management strategies haven't addressed the root issue

• Value privacy, safety, and working one-to-one

• Are ready to invest in yourself as seriously as you invest in your business

This program may not be right if you:

• Are looking for quick fixes or surface-level stress relief

• Prefer group settings to private work

• Are unwilling to engage with uncomfortable emotions or sensations

• Want strategy or business coaching rather than nervous system healing

What Makes Rise Again Different

Trauma-Informed, Business-Aware Support

Traditional business coaching addresses your strategy and external challenges, but often ignores how stress lives in your body. Talk therapy helps you understand your patterns mentally, but may not release the physical tension and survival responses your nervous system has developed from years of high-pressure leadership.

Rise Again bridges this gap. Chris combines practical business understanding with body-based healing techniques (what we call 'somatic work', releasing stress through physical practices rather than just thinking about it). You'll work with both your mind and your body to create lasting change.

Because Chris has run a business for 24 years, he understands the unique pressures you face, the weight of payroll, difficult conversations with employees, cash flow anxiety, the isolation of being the one who makes final decisions. This isn't theoretical, he's lived it and healed it, and now guides other business owners through the same transformation.

Practical, Not Just Conceptual

You won't just talk about stress, you'll learn to release it from your body. Between sessions, you'll integrate practical nervous system regulation tools that fit into your actual schedule, not an idealized version of it.

Confidential, Judgment-Free Space

What you share stays private. There's no performance pressure, no need to have it all figured out. This is your space to be honest about the toll leadership takes and to heal without shame.

Results That Extend Beyond You And Happen Faster Than You'd Expect

When you regulate your nervous system, the ripple effects are profound, and often immediate:

Within the first 2-3 weeks, clients typically notice:

• Better sleep and increased energy

• Physical tension releasing (shoulders drop, jaw unclenches, breathing deepens)

• Fewer reactive moments you pause before responding instead of snapping

• Small but significant shifts in how you show up in meetings

By weeks 4-6:

• Your team feels safer and more engaged (they notice you're different, even if they can't name why)

• Your decision-making becomes clearer and more strategic you're not deciding from panic

• You start trusting your intuition again instead of second-guessing everything

• Difficult conversations feel less overwhelming

By the end of the 10 weeks:

• Your relationships improve across the board (business and personal)

• You model sustainable leadership rather than burnout culture

• The old stress patterns that used to hijack you for days now resolve in hours or minutes

• You have tools you'll use for the rest of your life

The transformation is progressive each week builds on the last but most business owners report noticeable changes after the very first breathwork session.

Physical and Emotional Release

"Chris created a space where I could express emotions fully, without shame or judgment. I finally released trauma I didn't even realize I was carrying. The physical shifts were immediate I could breathe deeper, my shoulders dropped, and the constant tension in my jaw disappeared."

Sustainable Change

Ripple Effects Beyond Business

You Don't Have to Lead From Burnout

Running a business will always be demanding. But leading from chronic stress, disconnection, and depletion is a choice, one you can change.

Rise Again offers a structured path back to regulated nervous system function, embodied presence, and sustainable leadership. You'll learn to process stress as it arises rather than storing it in your body. You'll make decisions from clarity rather than reactivity. You'll lead in a way that doesn't cost you your health, relationships, or peace.

This is not just about managing stress better. It's about fundamentally shifting how your nervous system responds to the demands of leadership.

If you're ready to rise again with more presence, capacity, and sustainable energy, let's begin.
