Welcome to a deeply insightful episode of Compromised to Alchemized with the phenomenal Jennifer Tow! Jennifer has dedicated over 35 years to holistic lactation, guided by a deep curiosity about the physiology of wellness. She is a pioneer in integrating epigenetics, the microbiome, gut-brain health, and oral functional competency into lactation care.

Jennifer has practiced holistic lactation and guided parents in raising their children holistically for over 35 years. A fascination with the physiology of wellness has led her on a decades-long journey exploring the many influences on infant health that come to define long-term human well-being. She has a particular interest in epigenetics and the microbiome, gut-brain health, oral functional competency and airway development, always seeking to understand and apply the profoundly far-reaching implications of this work for breastfeeding dyads.

While residing between the USA & France from 2010-12, Jennifer established an international client base, becoming adept at providing care virtually, a process that ultimately honed both her listening and observational skills and resulted in a flourishing global practice. With a Master's degree in Holistic Health Coaching, Jennifer's reputation for guiding parents through complex breastfeeding challenges is deeply grounded in her approach to the breastfeeding dyad as a complex, interdependent eco-system, resulting in her Heal the Mother, Heal the Baby™ philosophy of care. Jennifer is an avid learner, integrating numerous holistic modalities and an ever-expanding skill-set into her practice, focusing on the nutritional, environmental and cultural factors that influence milk production and overall wellness of the dyad, myofunctional therapy and bodywork.

Jennfier is a writer and lecturer, offering workshops internationally and via webinar on lactation & epigenetics, gut health & healing, tongue-tie & airway development and holistic lactation practices. She offers a year-long advanced course in Integrative and Holistic Lactation. She is a founding member of IATP (the International Affiliation of Tongue-tie Professionals) and founder of the Holistic Lactation Institute.

Jennifer is the mother of three children born at home in 1988, 92 & 98 and a granddaughter born at home in 2009. She has come to deeply embrace the wisdom and humility gained from gestating, birthing, nursing and parenting those three amazing human beings.

Welcome to the Compromised to Alchemized podcast with my guest, Rosario Sammartino.

Rosario is a registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator, an artist, and a holder of a doctorate in depth psychology with an emphasis in somatic studies. At the core of her practice is the Tamalpa Life/Art Process, a revolutionary approach to movement-based expressive arts therapy. Our connection began eight years ago when I attended a workshop she and her husband led—a moment that deeply influenced my own path.

In this conversation, Rosario shares her journey from working with individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, to becoming a former co-director of the internationally recognized Tamalpa Institute. We explore how movement, art, and embodied presence can address trauma, unlock creativity, and help us feel safe in our body.

Join me on this inspiring episode of Compromised to Alchemized as I sit down with Brooke Nicole Brown the creator of The Bennett Method.

From an early age, Brooke Brown knew she possessed a special gift for healing. "You have healing hands," her mother would often tell her, words that proved prophetic when her third son, Bennett, was born with severe bilateral clubfoot. This sparked an extraordinary journey spanning 100,000 miles across 20 states, consulting with over 35 practitioners and doctors. Her exhaustive search led to something unexpected - the development of her own revolutionary healing approach called the Bennett Method.

The Bennett Method is a comprehensive, non-invasive methodology combining six essential disciplines: Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, Dynamic Flex Casting, Primitive Reflex Therapy, French Functional Method, Floor of the Mouth techniques, and targeted nutrition. Today, Bennett runs, jumps, and plays like any other child, a living testament to his mother's dedication. As a licensed massage therapist with extensive specialized training, Brooke now works with children facing developmental challenges including tongue and lip ties, torticollis, reflux, feeding difficulties, and sensory-motor development issues, with particular passion for expecting mothers and newborns.

Brooke's approach uniquely blends professional expertise with maternal understanding, creating nurturing environments where families feel truly supported. Her practice is grounded in scientific principles yet guided by Biblical truth and the Holy Spirit. "Every child's journey is different," Brooke says, "but every mother's hope is the same, to see their child thrive." Through gentle techniques and unwavering dedication, she demonstrates that remarkable healing is possible, offering hope and practical solutions to families seeking the best for their children.

In our conversation, we focus on Brooke's incredible journey with her son and the powerful healing principles she discovered along the way.

In this episode, we discuss:

• [6:57] The history behind The Bennett Method and how Brooke developed her revolutionary approach.
• [11:37] Brooke's personal legend and how she knows she's on the right path.
• [14:37] A clear breakdown of what severe bilateral clubfoot is and the difference between Flex Casting and the French Functional Method.
• [19:25] Brooke's personal reflection on the moment she found out about her son’s diagnosis.
• [23:44] The top three things Brooke loves to help families with in her practice.
• [29:15] Her experience working at Infinity with the incredible Dr. Josh Madsen.
