Mandy is a Certified Natural Health Practitioner, Certified Doula, Certified Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, and Trauma Informed and Trained practitioner. After years of working with clients suffering from cancer, autoimmune issues, anxiety, overwhelm, insecurity, and intrusive thoughts, she has learned that unhealed trauma is very often at the root of these issues.  In this episode, Mandy led us through a grounding & orientation practice, so if you could listen to the first part while not driving, that would be most beneficial!
