An 8-Week Self-Guided Program

Reset your nervous system.

Reclaim your attention.

Restore your peace.

Digital detox

The Truth:

This is a Nervous System Emergency

We weren’t meant to live like this—always "on," always reachable, endlessly scrolling through other people’s lives while losing touch with our own.

This isn’t just a bad habit…this is a public health crisis.
As a nurse, I see it in the body.
As a healer, I feel it in the heart.
As a human, I’ve lived it in my own life.

We are overstimulated, overextended, and disconnected from the most sacred thing we have: our own attention.

➤ This isn’t about giving up your phone.
➤ It’s about getting your life back.

Why I Created Digital Detox

🎥 Watch this 5-minute video to hear the story behind Digital Detox, the neuroscience, and how the course can support your healing.

“I took the Digital Detox course with Nurse Abby in August 2024 and I am still using nearly all of the practices I learned almost a year later. The education, information, and support I received from this course truly helped me change my life.

I have found so much more harmony and peace after implementing the practices, education, and tools provided. My nervous system is so thankful! I will forever be grateful for the changes this course empowered me to make!”
— Nichole Adams, Digital Detox Participant

What is the Digital Detox program?

An 8-week self-guided journey to help you untangle from digital overwhelm and reconnect with your natural rhythm—body, mind, and soul.

This isn’t a restrictive detox. You’ll move through weekly lessons, somatic practices, and reflection tools that rewire habits with compassion, not shame.

It’s not about cutting tech completely.


It’s about reclaiming your presence, peace, and power.

Is This for You?

Digital Detox is for the sensitive, smart, soulful person who’s mastered pushing through—but feels something’s off.

You are:

🫀 Emotionally aware but mentally scattered

🌀 “Fine” on the outside, anxious inside

📱 Caught in loops of scrolling and checking

🌿 Longing for stillness, structure, and breath

🧬 Curious about the science behind stress and screens

🔮 Ready for deep change—not productivity hacks

If you're a science-loving soul-seeker, you're in the right place.

Not for You If…

If you’re only looking for a productivity hack or aren’t open to somatic or spiritual work, this might not be the right fit — and that’s okay.

Why Willpower Isn’t Enough

This isn’t a personal failure. Your brain is doing what it’s wired to do:
✔︎ Seek safety and pleasure
✔︎ Avoid discomfort
✔︎ Stay alert to threat

In a world of constant stimulation, fear-based news, and infinite scrolls—of course it’s hard to unplug.

➞ The digital world is designed to be addictive.
➞ Your presence = their profit.

What You Really Need:

  • Thoughtful guardrails

  • Gentle structure

  • A nervous-system-safe skillset

This detox is rooted in compassion, brain science, and somatic tools—not guilt or grit.

    Understanding how this mechanism works is the first step to clearing that residual energy and finding calm without needing to turn to screens for numbing.

Meet Abby Payne, RN, Board-Certified Holistic Nurse Coach + Creator of the Digital Detox Program

Abby Payne is a Registered Nurse, Board-Certified Coach, and the creator of the Digital Detox program. After burning out in the ICU during the pandemic and turning to late-night scrolling to cope, Abby experienced firsthand the toll of digital overwhelm. That wake-up call led her to study the neuroscience of habit, screen addiction, and nervous system regulation.

Blending research with soul, she developed tools that helped her heal—and then began teaching others to do the same. What started as a live group experience now lives on as a self-paced course that has helped people reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and cut screen time by up to 90%.

With a clinical foundation, holistic lens, and trauma-informed approach, Abby guides people to reconnect with their bodies, values, and presence—without guilt or perfectionism.

My Approach

  • Science-Backed, Soul-Focused

    Imagine feeling calm, clear, and in control — no more guilt about scrolling, no more foggy energy.

    The Digital Detox Program helps you step out of autopilot and reclaim your attention, nervous system, and presence.

    Grounded in research on behavior change, nervous system regulation, and screen psychology, it teaches the why behind your habits and the how to change them for good.

  • Holistic Approach

    True wellness isn’t just physical — it’s mind, body, and spirit. All three are shaped by your digital habits:

    Mind → dopamine, habits, screen psychology

    Body → nervous system care, somatic awareness, chronic overstimulation

    Spirit → mindfulness, meditation, sabbath, and worth beyond productivity

    This isn’t about restriction or perfection — it’s about reconnecting with yourself.

  • Designed for Real life

    This course isn’t about white-knuckling willpower. It’s about practical tools, proven strategies, and blocking software that make it easy to stop scrolling and start living.

    Each week, you’ll set your own limits and goals — building alignment that feels realistic and sustainable. The process is flexible, supportive, and tailored to you.

    By the end, you’ll feel more present, more grounded, and more in control of your time — with a nervous system that’s finally able to rest.

💬 A note from me to you

I created this course for the version of me that felt stuck and addicted to my phone and had forgotten how to be still.
The one who could scroll for hours but couldn’t sit in silence for five minutes.
The one who didn’t know her body was asking for regulation, not more stimulation.

We live in a culture that celebrates speed, noise, and stimulation—but I believe the real revolution is presence.

You are allowed to slow down.
You are allowed to be here.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

With the right education and tools, peace and presence can be your new normal.

Let’s unplug together.

With love,
Abby
