The lack of touch made my heart & muscles harden.   

I couldn't explain the feeling very eloquently, but it was like my body just needed to know itself.  It needed to experience itself, and it couldn't without bumping up against another human.  

I'm talking about the time my husband and I broke up.  It was very disorientating.  

When infants are starved of touch their physical and mental development slows down...

...and honestly, I think adults are the same.  

My podcast guest today is Natasha De Grunwald who is an experienced teacher and practitioner of Thai Massage, author and mentor who has been in the wellness industry for over 3 decades.  She is also the Founder of the London Institute of Thai Massage.

This conversation was tender and heart opening as we covered topics such as:

• What dissecting a real human body can teach us about who we are. 
• Thinking about the energy of death.
• The power of sensitivity.
• What Thai massage is NOT. 
• The preservation of the massage therapists energy.
• What are the pulses in Thai massage.
• Becoming more ‘wind’ as we age.
• A unique approach to diagnosing bodily issues based on Thai medicine and the elements. 
• The power of touch and why it’s important.
• Self touch and self massage as a way of forming a relationship with yourself
• The breasts as an extension of the heart. 
• The difference between a vaginal steam and a vagina smoke. 
• The insane benefits of vagina steaming.

So if you're ready to get out of your head and into your heart, this episode is for you.
