Body of Wisdom Podcast
In this episode, I was both privileged to sit with, and deeply inspired by, my guest, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, PhD. Uma is the author of Yoni Shakti, as well as many other books, and her work, along with Vicki Noble's, set something alight in me. As I read her book, I saw written in plain and clear language what my body-heart-mind had always known: there is a feminine source-point for yoga that is the key or code to understanding the truth of the practice.

info_outlineMy friend and wise woman Angela (Ange) Jessup joins me on the podcast today to speak about all things holistic kinesiology. Ange and I met on the Four Season’s Journey with Jane Hardwicke Collings and The School of Shamanic Womancraft, and quickly bonded over all things babies (we both had newborns), yoga, and the multidimensional aspects of life!
Ange curates her kinesiology offerings to serve the specific needs of women, especially those in their mothering season, and more recently children, and she is a total sorceress - it was a delight to hear her speak about her work. Ange is also the mama of three little ones.
In this episode:
- Ange explains kinesiology, emphasising its basis in Chinese medicine and 5-Element theory, how she works with the meridians and specific points, as well as muscle-testing and other multidimensional aspects of the work, such as how kinesiology is such a unqiue tool for addressing subconscious patterns, wounding and triggers
- How Ange works with children, both her own and in clinic, especially in terms of respecting the intution and knowing of the mother
- How kinesiology has assisted her on her own journey as a mother (and pre-conception - Ange was told she'd never have kids!)
- Ange's journey integrating and healing the wounded parts of herself so she can show up as a mother
- Ange shares her passion for addressing birth trauma and advocating for women's choices in the birth space. She recounts her personal experiences with birth and the importance of women being able to advocate for themselves. We also reflect on the systemic issues and societal expectations that affect women's experiences of birth and motherhood.
- How Ange balances motherhood and self-care, especially as someone serving other mothers
- How Ange approaches conscious parenting
- And so much more!
I love this chat, it’s so nourishing and Ange is definitely one inspiring mama! Grab a cuppa and get settled. And then book a session with Ange!
