I recently had the tremendous pleasure of being a guest on the "Heal with Grace" podcast! In this podcast I share how my journey from finance to healing work was shaped by growing up with parents who had chronic pain. Together, we explore how subconscious beliefs, stress, and identity patterns shape our physical experiences—and how understanding these hidden dynamics can unlock true healing. I also share real client stories and practical ways to reconnect with the body, shift limiting patterns, and establish a sense of safety for lasting relief. Have a listen!

We also explored the principles and practices of Hakomi, the importance of mindfulness, and the value of humor in therapy. Lastly, we discussed the challenges and rewards of our roles and the significance of bringing emotional connection into business. Have a listen!

What if chronic pain was mainly bad information? When we’re in pain, our tendency is to search for structural reasons for the pain — is there disc degeneration, a torn ligament, an abnormality in a joint?

We “learn” to be in chronic pain. And if we can learn to be in chronic pain, we can also unlearn it. Read on to learn more.
