Brooke Hohenadel is very passionate about helping people get good quality sleep each night. Her passion for healthy sleep began with her own story: she was postpartum, waking multiple times a night, helping her 5 month old and doing all a lot on her own because her husband who had a broken leg. It was a minor incident in the middle of the night which led her to realize that sleep deprivation was severely impacting her physical and mental health - and that it was time to find a solution.  After fixing her own sleep problems she was inspired to help others get the same results.  Since 2015 Brooke has helped hundreds of families and individuals fall in love with sleep again through her work as a certified sleep specialist.  If sleep is something that could use some improvement in your life, have a listen to this very helpful interview.

Many women who have birthed by Caesarean do not realize that they have many options when it comes to helping their post-partum body to recover.  Osteopathic treatment is a very effective form of manual therapy that can help with reducing pain, improving scar mobility, decreasing adhesions, and helping reset and rebalance the abdominal wall and pelvic bowl.  On today’s interview, I chatted with Michael Stillitano who is an osteopath here in London.  I wanted to talk to him about c-sections because he spent 3 years conducting an osteopathic research study and writing a thesis entitled “The Effects of Osteopathic Treatment on Caesarean Section Scars Followed by Uterine Normalization on Lumbar Spine Range of Motion”. I thought he would have excellent insights on c-section recovery – and indeed he did. Have a listen.
