Built From the Inside Out
I didn’t build Nerali from a business plan. I built it because I needed it.
I'm a former kindergarten and first grade teacher and mom of twin boys. I've been sober since June, 2022 and getting sober meant facing, for the first time, a nervous system I had never learned how to live in.
I tried everything I was told would help. Some of it did. But there was still a gap, especially in the moments that mattered most. The moment before reacting. The moment when everything feels too loud. The moment your body takes over before your mind can catch up.
So I started building tools that actually worked in those moments.
What I discovered changed everything. Not just for me, but for how I show up for my kids. When I regulate, they regulate. When I have the tools, I can give them the tools. That's co-regulation. And it's the center of everything Nerali is built on.
Every product is something I use myself — not in a calm, ideal setting, but in real, messy, human moments.
East meets West. Ancient meets science. Tools that work when everything is too much.
— Hailey, Founder of Nerali Well
Hailey Mills is a former K–1 educator with over a decade in public schools, a nervous system educator, and the founder of Nerali Well. She lives in Astoria, Oregon with her twin boys.
Her work sits at the intersection of polyvagal theory, somatic practice, EFT tapping, and Conscious Discipline — synthesized into tools that work in real life, not just in calm moments.
Nerali was built on one core belief: when parents regulate, children regulate. Co-regulation is not a parenting strategy. It is biology. And it belongs to everyone.
