This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that helps you experience emotional freedom. In this episode, host Laura Milliken welcomes Dana Hernandez, a Masters Level Splankna Practitioner and Executive Director of multiple Brain Balance Centers in Atlanta, GA. Dana brings a unique perspective as she combines Splankna with her work at Rizoo Counseling, helping clients address the deep connections between trauma and brain function.

Together, Laura and Dana dive into what happens in the brain during trauma—specifically how the right hemisphere, home to our subconscious, creativity, and emotional processing, often “goes offline” in the aftermath of painful experiences. Dana shares practical ways to support right-brain healing and balance the two hemispheres, along with insights into how to recognize signs of imbalance. This episode will help you better understand the neurological impact of trauma and give you hope that restoration is possible.

✨ Takeaways:

• How trauma impacts the right brain and subconscious functioning

• Why the right hemisphere is key for emotional regulation, creativity, and connection

• Practical ways to support and strengthen right-brain activity after trauma

• Signs that suggest your brain hemispheres may be out of balance

• How Splankna and Brain Balance work together to restore healing and wholeness
