In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue Hitzmann welcomes Dr. Jaap van der Wal—embryologist, anatomist, and philosopher of the body—for a deeply personal and poetic exploration of human development, fascia, and the nature of consciousness.
From the wisdom of trees to the mystery of morphogenesis, this conversation weaves science and soul into a living tapestry of inquiry. Dr. van der Wal shares his insights on the embryo as a dynamic expression of movement, not a mechanical blueprint—and how fascia reveals the story of becoming.
This episode touches on:
The spiritual implications of embryology
Why the body is a process, not a thing
How fascia and form emerge through motion
The role of perception, rhythm, and resonance in healing
Sue’s reflections on caregiving, grief, and the intelligence of nature
🎧 Tune in for a conversation that reimagines anatomy as poetry—and invites us to feel the body as a question, not an answer.
