Your Body Is Your Instrument. Let's Keep It in Tune.
I help actors, performers, and public speakers stop running on adrenaline, crashing before curtain, and white-knuckling their way through opening nights — and start performing (and living) from a body and nervous system that actually has your back.
Debra Wanger, FDN-P — Former talent manager, MFA actor, and best-selling author of The Resilient Actor. I've lived the burnout. Now I help performers heal it — with data, not guesswork.

Amazon Bestselling Author of The Resilient Actor
Before I ever tested a client's cortisol or gut biome, I wrote the book on what it actually takes for performers to last in this business — physically, mentally, and emotionally. The Resilient Actor: How to Kick Ass in the Business (Without It Kicking Your Ass) became an Amazon bestseller for a reason: it names what the industry doesn't talk about. If you've ever wondered why it chews people up, this is where I break down what I now fix with clients one-on-one.
