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.

Uma helps me to unpack this awareness, and she and I cover many topics that are challenging but, hopefully, ultimately liberating. We do touch on...

- And so much more!
I was fortunate enough to take a weekend course with Sarina in 2023 and she will be visiting Australia again in 2025 - I'd highly recommend studying with her if you're interested in learning more about chi nei tsang or Taoist healing techniques.
So much gratitude to Sarina for this incredible episode and for her teachings.
