Everything You Need is Inside

Christina Allen is the face of Austin Shamanic Center and the woman I prize as most impactful in my healing journey over the past two and a half years. Christina's energetic work has healed hundreds if not thousands through her depth of knowledge and dedication to her craft of holding space.

In this episode we go in depth into:

Identifying trauma through people pleasing, attachment styles, relational healing.

We share personal stories about trauma, triumph, and the "why," behind many behaviors,

as far as to say that everyone has some trauma, which is why it's not about "what's wrong with you," rather, "what happened to you," and unwinding the story to find freedom and wholeness and healing within!

About Christina Allen: Following a traumatic childhood she was called to bridge Western and traditional teachings. She studied physics in College before a PHD program in Neuroscience. But after her mother's death she realized that as the body dies, there is a level of consciousness that remains in tact. By apprenticing with renowned Spiritual Masters of Yoga, Reiki, and Shamanism she has now spent over 30 years integrating the power and wisdom of ancient indigenous Energy Medicine pracices with her studies of physics, biology, psychology, and neuroscience.

Similar to Olivia, Christina owned and taught yoga at the Blue Raven Yoga and Healing Center in the San Diego area. She began her formal shamanic studies within that time under the guidance of psychologist, medical anthropologist, and shaman Alberto Villoldo at the Four Winds Society. Christina now teaches the traditional Andean teachings integrating her 20 plus years experience as a shamanic healer employs all she knows about about neuroscience, shifting states of consciousness, psychology and working with the energies of creation into her one-on-one healing practice and in her Energy Medicine Certification program teachings.

Christina started the Austin Shamanic Center in 2013. Her aim is to contribute to the global community of grounded, authentic, fearless human beings who can step up to hold the door open for the evolution of human consciousness, and it is to be of service to humanity in general, in its many different forms.

Grace Romano aka Graceful_Healing is a light worker who has moved so much energy through my body that our last session had us both screaming, fervently. While some might call this massage, I call it intuitive bodywork. Grace uses her intuition to track where energy needs to move in the body. Using different practices like cupping, hot stone, and traditional massage, the work I've done with her has tapped into incredibly energetic release ... On this episode, you'll learn about the power of healing through the body. Less spa massage more psychedelic, without any substance aside from some palo Santo, sage to clear space and massage oil. When I've been on Grace's table, I've literally been transported to different realms. And in my journey, she has been incredibly impactful in helping my physicality move through old wounding and eliminate trauma through the body.
