After going through my own health struggles and divorce and then feeling the most unwell I ever had-- in mind, body, and spirit--I found the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute and knew this was where I was meant to be for the next chapter of my life. I applied everything I learned in my IHP journey to my own healing and went on to create my own signature health coaching program called Mind Body Soul Reboot. This is an 8-week, one-on-one health coaching program designed specifically for divorced women. It's been an honor to guide my clients through their journey and help them rediscover and regain their health and joy!

107. Intuitive Healing Using Craniosacral Therapy by Etienne Peirsman, Teacher and Founder of Peirsman Cranio 03/20/2023

107. Intuitive Healing Using Craniosacral Therapy by Etienne Peirsman, Teacher and Founder of Peirsman Cranio Etienne Peirsman shares his story of how he got into Cranial Sacral Therapy, which included his own experience of self-healing and a miraculous healing of a friend. He also discussed the importance of intuitive healing and the power of Cranial Sacral Therapy to diagnose and heal. Etienne Peirsman discussed how stem cells are connected to the universal intelligence and don't think, but know what to do. He shares a story of a student and friend who were both paralyzed and were able to walk and talk again after a few craniosacral sessions. He also shares a story of a seven year old dyslexic boy who was able to read again after a few minutes of connecting to the life force. Etienne Peirsman teaches people with no knowledge of the body how to access their intuition and use conscious touch to bring instant mindfulness. He also teaches an intensive program where students go through nine courses to learn cranial therapy and deal with their own issues. He guides them through the process and helps them access the life force and release emotions. He also has online courses available, which I definitely want to attend! Check out his courses here: Etienne's Bio: Highly inspirational and respected teacher in the field of CranioSacral, Etienne Peirsman came to Cranio in a non-traditional fashion. After a a staph infection left him with nearly 20% kidney function, he found that preparing to die brought him the clarity of total silence. In a remarkable turn of events, he was able to heal his own body, which led him to travel to the Osho International Meditation Center, where he was first introduced to Cranio, during an immersive meditation and bodywork training. Etienne describes Cranio as the the closest thing to that wonderful silence he found during his near death experience, and from that time, 31 years ago, it became his life's passion. His journey led him first to apprentice at the Upledger Institute in Florida, then teach at Bastyr University in Washington and the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts. He is the founder of as well as the CranioSacraal Therapie Academy in Holland, where he originated the CranioSacral Professional Organization and is an honorary member of The Dutch CranioSacral Practitioner Society. Author of the pioneering book, " It is truly a unique experience to learn Cranio from such a passionate, talented teacher who infuses his classes with good humor and a deep dive into stillness. He strives to use simple language that engages our spontaneity. His methods are the middle ground between biomechanics Upledger style and biodynamic Sutherland style. In his classes, students learn to start from a no-mind space, a place where the mind can take a vacation, allowing their practice to unfold in non-duality, or what he calls the Midline. He emphasizes the power of touch to stimulate the secretion of oxytocin, a hormone that brings a feeling of oneness and values clarity as the result of being in touch with that Midline that connects us with our life-force, our true and infinite potential. Etienne travels the world with his life partner Toshiko, teaching where he is invited to share this opportunity of radical self transformation. He is also launching his first ever online class, that will have fascinating lectures and detailed instruction on all the hand placements, as a resource for students to learn and enjoy Cranio. /episode/index/show/healthispowher/id/26092515

100. How to Get Better Deep Sleep and Wake Up Refreshed with Dr. Audrey Wells, Super Sleep MD This is an ABSOLUTE MUST LISTEN podcast episode if you value your energy, your sleep cycle, and your optimal well-being. Dr. Audrey Wells, MD is a wealth of the newest and evidence-based information on how to truly feel refreshed and improve sleep to improve chronic health issues, including chronic pain! A big one for me. She discusses how women present with sleep apnea differently, and how it can easily be missed! So we have to pay attention to the symptoms including the more subtle symptoms of just some minor memory changes, a little bit more fatigue, and trouble concentrating. Plus, some of the home tests can't detect our smaller drops in blood oxygen compared to men. We even talk about acid reflux and how it is associated with sleep apnea! There's so much many of us don't know about how sleep is so important and connected to every health issue. Dr. Wells, MD helps so many people with sleep apnea who need to use the CPAP but struggle with acclimating to the CPAP treatment. So she uses her mindset coaching techniques to lower that internal resistance! She also discusses how sleep lowers our pain thresholds and also increases INFLAMMATION! We review the importance of obtaining iron levels and iron storage called ferritin labs in order to make sure we get restful sleep. Because without enough iron (ferritin = 80) then we may not be in for a good night's sleep. Dr. Wells, MD discusses several supplements, including melatonin and magnesium and how to use those appropriately (it's a bit different than we may have been taught). And she also reviews my favorite: Blue Light Blockers and what kind to get that actually works! Hint, they are super orange and do not need to be that expensive. Dr. Wells offers some great action steps and quick tips on how to get better and deeper sleep, more refreshing sleep, so you wake up energized the WHOLE day. I'm so excited for you all to listen to this episode. It's jam packed with everything SLEEP. Dr. Wells is a sleep medicine physician and certified mindset coach on a mission to help people sleep better so they can feel more awake and alive all day long. She offers a group coaching program and a private Facebook community for those struggling with sleep apnea and treatment, including CPAP. She also does individual coaching for those who want to uplevel their productivity and potential by taking “too tired” out of the equation. Her sleep program is launching soon, so check her out and join today! Check out her links below. She's a must if you have sleep apnea and need the BEST sleep to recover and thrive.

99. Using Your Story to Heal Yourself with Dr. Haidar Al-Akhim, MD, Author, Ophthalmologist, Podcaster, Coach, and Psychotherapist (and more, if that's not enough...) 12/05/2022

99. Using Your Story to Heal Yourself with Dr. Haidar Al-Akhim, MD, Author, Ophthalmologist, Podcaster, Coach, and Psychotherapist (and more, if that's not enough...) Dr. Haidar Al-Akhim is an ophthalmologist, but was always interested in the woo, eventually discovering that conventional medicine was boring, just pushing pharmaceutical meds. He was stuck in this “groundhog day” and he was doing the same thing over and over again. What he realized that conventional medicine wasn’t all about healing. That he was just a cog within the system. Being bombarded by regulations, rules, and the latest drugs and how to use them. It was the power at the top telling him what to do. "I felt kind of lost going through the medical system. I knew there was something more to this than meets the eye." He was clinically depressed going through medical school. "The expectations of the parents, Iraqi community. You are considered a success if you become a doctor. There’s this cognitive dissonance within you. You know it’s kind of the right thing for you, but doesn’t fit within you." He learned that his purpose was others’ purpose. Not his story, someone else’s story. In this podcast episode, he talks about his journey far from his true self and then back again to him. And he's now sharing his story, through his his book “Physician on Fire” going through burnout, existential crisis/upheaval. He had so much voice to give to his experiences. He uses this book to help others and himself out of our suffering. "Stories are powerful." He also started a podcast, Surgical Spirit Podcast, and connects with others, sharing unique stories to help others. To open up our perspective to others’ experiences and wisdom. Dr. Haidar Al-Akhim is a gem of a doctor. He brings so many worlds together, ultimately, healing our humanity. I can't wait for you to listen.

97. Harnessing Scalar Energy to Detect and Cleanse Pathogens, Microbes, and Support Healing with Tom Paladino 11/07/2022

97. Harnessing Scalar Energy to Detect and Cleanse Pathogens, Microbes, and Support Healing with Tom Paladino I'm so excited for you to listen to this episode! This interview was an eye opener for me as I had no idea about scalar energy. I had heard about it from a couple friends who were using these devices that produced scalar energy and they told me it helped them sleep better and give them more stamina. Tom Paladino is a wealth of information about scalar energy. He discusses that scalar energy is free energy from the sun and stars and fills the universe. It is our consciousness. The omnipresence energy from God. We can produce scalar energy through our thoughts, meditations, visualizations and may be the very form of energy that creates well-being. Perhaps, this is the very energy that is used and harnessed in our mindset work, hypnosis, and prayer. While we cannot measure this form of energy - due to not having a hertz wave form, Tesla was likely actually using this form of energy to provide free energy to the people (before it got squashed of course!). Tune in for the story!!! Tom Paladino created Scalar Light (TM) technology to detect, break down and eradicate certain pathogens with his scalar instruments. While this can't be validated in randomized controlled trials, he does rely on testimonials and tests before and after scalar energy. He discussed one such case by looking at Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) before and after scalar energy (using a simple photograph- our energetic signature). The HSV PCR was much less and even eradicated after scalar light energy. Some people also report a sense of vitality and euphoria while doing the scalar light sessions. Ultimately, scalar energy is the intelligence and animating force of all. And by harnessing scalar energy, we become masters of our destiny. Tom Paladino offers 15 days of free scalar light sessions at . Just upload your photo (your energetic signature) and get started today. I talk about my experience with it just after 10 days and found that despite working 6 weeks straight and traveling quite a bit, I didn't get sick!!! Which is very unusual for me after I exhaust myself to a pulp. Maybe there is something to this scalar energy and I'd love to see what happens in the next week! ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'm now offering a FREE Call with ME for women who are finally ready to heal themselves from chronic pain and autoimmune symptoms that's holding them back from moving their bodies freely and having enough energy to do all the things they love again!

95. Recovering from Trauma, Stress, and Burnout, Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, MD Found Her Purpose with The Worthy Physician Podcast 10/17/2022

95. Recovering from Trauma, Stress, and Burnout, Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, MD Found Her Purpose with The Worthy Physician Podcast Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, Board-Certified Internist is one of my closest friends who has lived thru many dark nights of the soul and found her passion creating The Worthy Physician Podcast. To help physicians share their story about burnout, overwhelm, mistreatment, and moral injury. I'm also one of her guests ;) She shares her story about how much stress from medical school and residency, with attending physicians who are a part of the patriarchy of medicine, caused Dr. Sapna to develop a stutter and tremor, despite being one of the most studious, caring doctors I've ever met! When work oppresses you, chronic disease can develop, especially when you can't express your true authentic self. And Dr. Sapna discusses how academic medicine is about ego, not about being a student of life. And how the patients suffer because of it. She describes all the tragic events and the stress of becoming a doctor led her to develop a spiritual practice of meditation combining her Catholic upbringing with Buddhism and meditation. Dr. Sapna is a true authentic physician who truly wants to help her patients. She's the most incredibly caring soul I've ever met. And I'm so thankful for her presence, her friendship, and her love to help others.

94. Gut Health and Hormone Balance with Hally Brooke, CEO of Live Nourished Coaching 10/03/2022

94. Gut Health and Hormone Balance with Hally Brooke, CEO of Live Nourished Coaching I absolutely love Hally! I am so excited to introduce her to you. Hally Brooke is the Founder and CEO of Live Nourished. She's a Certified Functional Medicine Nutritional Counselor and Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and a Fox 21 Fitness & Nutrition Expert! She is so incredibly knowledgeable and just an amazing coach empowering people to transform and achieve their health and wellness goals. Her discussion on gut health and hormone balance is so insightful, yet so simple! She talks about the 5R process: 1. Remove (remove inflammatory foods that may be bothering you, such as gluten, dairy, GMO soy, processed foods, and refined sugar) 2. Repair (our gut is only one cell thick and she talks about getting that barrier healed to decrease inflammation in the body) 3. Rebalance/Reinoculate (prebiotics and probiotics are our friend here! and we even get into the most common cause of heartburn and it's not high acid in the stomach!) 4. Reintroduce (after 30-120 days of healing the gut, it's time to start reintroducing the foods now that the gut is healed) Hally also knows about the stress-gut connection and how important the gut is for brain health! Hormone Balance: She talks about her 3-step method for us women to get our hormones back into balance. 1. Remove (remove endocrine disruptors, like phthalates in perfumes and candles and skincare products) 2. Reduce cortisol response (high stress levels cause our hormone production to slow down because it's diverted to our stress hormone: cortisol) 3. Correct nutritional imbalances (so many of us are nutritionally insufficient even when we eat super well!!!) She also talks about seed cycling and getting minerals and nutrients that way for menstrual cycle support. Hally offers so much in this podcast episode, you don't want to miss it!

93. How To Correct The Musculoskeletal Imbalances that Lead to Chronic Back Pain, Headaches, and Neck Pain with Rick Olderman, Physical Therapist 09/26/2022

93. How To Correct The Musculoskeletal Imbalances that Lead to Chronic Back Pain, Headaches, and Neck Pain with Rick Olderman, Physical Therapist Join our FREE 4-Day Pain Freedom Challenge Mon Sept. 26th - Thurs Sept. 29th. It's not too late!!! You can catch the recordings if you miss it. Just join our Pain Free Life Squad FB Group and we'll send you all the details (especially the one about winning a 1:1 coaching session with me!!): Now on to the Show: Rick Olderman who is a Physical Therapist and Creator of the Fixing You Method has so much experience in how to correct the musculoskeletal imbalances that occur daily, ultimately ending up in chronic headaches, neck pain, back pain, hip pain, and even the troublesome plantar fasciitis! I learned so much from Rick, even as an integrative pain doc!!! I truly find that working alongside a physical therapist who knows how to correct gait patterns and posture without compartmentalizing it to just one or two muscle groups is amazing. During the podcast episode, Rick immediately sees my sitting posture in my office chair and can tell my shoulder girdle is off. He suggests a couple changes which I've now implemented in my daily office work and it's helping my neck pain and headache from sitting too long!! And in fact, I've been doing exercises my PT taught me that actually may have been exacerbating the problem. Also, we dive in to low back pain and why our gait pattern may need to change. We lock our knees to hold ourselves up and this creates a big musculoskeletal imbalance that leads to pain. He has a course online both for people suffering from pain, but also for practitioners and physicians who help people with chronic pain. This is not what's learned in our typical training as healthcare professionals, so I'd suggest checking it out.
