How does doing your own inner work help you as a practitioner? 

In this powerful conversation, Nari challenges the traditional, performance-based definition of mastery and reframes it as deep alignment, boundaries, and self-trust. She shares how honoring your unique style, rather than copying others, allows for more authentic and effective patient care. The discussion dives into blending intuition with clinical reasoning, meeting patients where they are, and releasing the pressure to “fix” everything. This episode is a refreshing and thought-provoking invitation to evolve your practice from the inside out.

✨ Key Takeaways for Practitioners:

• Be you, fully: Clinical mastery comes from embodying your unique voice and approach.
• You’re not for everyone: Clear boundaries and aligned clients lead to better outcomes and less burnout.
• Meet patients where they are: Tailor your approach to their readiness – one meaningful step is enough.
• Do your own inner work: Your ability to hold space, stay non-reactive, and create transformation is directly tied to your personal healing.

About Today’s Speaker

Nari Kaur (Clemons), PT and Educator

Nari Kaur has been a pelvic therapist for 18 years. She has been teaching for Herman Wallace Pelvic Rehab for 10 years and loves merging science and anatomy with softer skills. For Herman Wallace, Nari teaches the pelvic floor series, courses she has authored on manually treating the nerves of the lumbar and sacral plexus, and a course on boundaries and self care for health care providers.

Nari’s passion is helping empathic healers to be well as they work. Her interest in this field came from being an unknowing empath, picking up too much from patients, over-functioning and living the archetype of the wounded healer, before finding another way.

She owns Portland Pelvic Therapy, a boutique practice where she combines highly specific visceral, neural and fascial work with the intersection of spirit and held stories in the body. Most of her patients are unknowing empaths who finally heal when they release held stories, often that were never theirs to carry, in their tissues. She also works at a conventional hospital and enjoys the full realm of health care.
