info_outlineI was sure that I would absolutely never try the Healy, the frequency medicine device that has swept the online "wellness" world.
And yet, inspired by the stories of women I trust, I decided to explore it for my own chronic pain, scar tissue healing and more -- because I know first hand the power of energetic healing.
What has happened so far has been beyond physical changes, openness and a new spaciousness in my tissues: it is supporting me in reorienting to how I relate to pain, possibility, and even the nature of our reality.
So much of my skepticsm about Healy wasn't about the potency of the device, but rather about the ways I've seen it marketed. After sitting with it for some time, I'm finally ready to share my experience with you, in hopes that there is possibility for you, too.
If you're curious, skeptical, eye-rolling, or have no idea what the Healy is...may this episode be of service.
I've created a page with all my Healy resources and links here, so you can do your own exploration.
