Healing Starts Here

Welcome back to another exciting episode! Today, our host Dee Nicole sits down with a very special guest and one of her long-time teachers, Allison Hayes. Known affectionately as "The Rock Girl," Allison is a professional psychic, healer, and master teacher of stones with over 30 years of experience. She also runs a beautiful retreat center in Asheville, North Carolina.

In this episode, we dive into the grounding magic of stones and how they can deeply transform your health and energy.

Allison explains that while we are spiritual beings, we must remember to connect physically to the earth. Our brains and organs run on electromagnetic frequencies. Just like you plug a vacuum into a wall socket for power, our bodies need to "plug into" the earth to recharge. Stones, which are born in the belly of Mother Earth, carry these natural, vital frequencies. By matching the right stone to the right energy center (or chakra), we can safely recharge our bodies.

Your chakras do an amazing job of generating energy inside your body and creating your auric field (your aura) on the outside. But what happens when we experience toxic relationships, stressful environments, or heavy emotions?

Allison notes that these things can cause leaks or tears in our auric field. However, she reminds us that "negative energy" isn't a bad word. It's simply energy we no longer need—just like taking out the trash! Keeping our chakras clean with stones helps flush this trash out and patches any holes in our energy field.

If you have a physical or emotional issue that keeps returning, it might stem from a past life. The incredible thing about working with stones is that they naturally protect you. They can safely encapsulate and flush away past life trauma without you ever needing to know the exact story or relive the pain.

A quick tip from Allison: If you are new to this, be careful with clear quartz! Because it amplifies energy, it can bring up emotions you might not be ready to deal with. Sticking to grounding stones helps clear the painful stuff, making beautiful room for your natural gifts to bubble up!

Be sure to tune in next time for Part 2, where Allison will share specific stones you can start using today!

Welcome to Episode 8! Today, hosts Mary Greensmith and Dee Nicole dive into a fascinating conversation sparked by an unexpected chat Mary had while mucking out horses. When a friend casually mentioned her childhood spirit guides, it ignited Mary's curiosity about intuition, her unique life path, and how our souls guide us behind the scenes.

To help Mary explore these big questions, Dee introduces the concept of the Akashic Records. Simply put, these records are the energetic archive of your soul since its inception. Every thought, action, choice, and feeling you have ever experienced is recorded here. It acts as a cosmic container holding your soul's entire history.

While many people access the records just for information, Dee explains that their true magic lies in deep, soul-level transformation. By connecting with "Record Keepers"—the specific guides who protect your energetic archive—you can uncover the root cause of repeating patterns. Healing limiting beliefs at their original point of inception ripples outward, creating profound and positive shifts in your present life.

You do not need special training to start connecting with your own internal guidance. Dee encourages everyone to treat their intuition like a muscle that has simply atrophied over time. Start playing with it out of pure curiosity! If you get a sudden nudge to turn right instead of left on your walk home, follow it and see what beautiful things you might discover.

Mary is so inspired by this chat that she plans to book her very first session with Dee. Tune in next time to hear all about her experience!

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Healing Starts Here podcast! Today, host Mary Greensmith sits down with the wonderful Amanda Luxmoore to discuss using movement, music, and the outdoors to revitalize our health. If you ever feel a sudden burst of joy when your favorite song plays, this episode is for you!

Amanda shares how the modern world often disconnects us from our true nature. Music and dance serve as a beautiful doorway back to our authentic selves. By allowing ourselves to move freely, we tap into our memories and unprocessed emotions, gently bringing them to the surface without ever needing to find the right words.

You absolutely do not need to be a professional dancer to experience these amazing benefits! Amanda champions free, unstructured movement to process feelings and release trapped energy. Whether you are taking a guided class or simply dancing down the supermarket aisle, playful movement floods your body with happy endorphins and offers an incredible sense of freedom.

Movement and sound become even more powerful when combined with the outdoors. Amanda beautifully describes how stepping outside into the fresh air grounds us. Nature itself is constantly in a state of dance, and joining in helps us return to our most natural, vibrant state of being.

Feeling inspired to start your own movement journey? Amanda hosts magical in-person classes and seasonal workshops in the stunning Lake District of Cumbria. For those further away, she offers online support through her free community, the Life Flow Lounge, as well as an incredible 10-month immersive coaching program.

Welcome back to another insightful episode of Healing Starts Here! Today, our hosts Mary Greensmith and Dee Nicole are diving deep into a fascinating topic that is very close to Dee's heart. We are stripping things back to basics to learn all about the beautiful, restorative practice of Reiki.

Whether you are completely new to energy medicine or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode is packed with wonderful insights!

At its core, Reiki is an energy healing practice. A practitioner holds a very specific vibration of healing energy and allows it to flow through the client's system. Dee explains that Reiki never pushes you past your boundaries; the energy naturally goes exactly where your body needs it across your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical layers.

Dee shares her personal transition from a career as a professional dancer to becoming a Reiki Master. She started with what she playfully calls the "McDonald's version" of Reiki training just to see what it was about. Over time, she sought out incredible teachers across the country, eventually mastering the practice. Dee beautifully compares Reiki to ballet—it is the foundational strength and grammar that supports all other forms of energy healing.

One of the most mind-blowing aspects of Reiki is that it doesn't require you to be in the same room as your practitioner! Because it is energy work, it exists across space and time. Dee regularly conducts remote sessions while clients relax at home. She even provides energetic support for clients while they are undergoing major operations, which can help promote faster recovery and lower post-operative stress.

If you suffer from stress or anxiety, Reiki can be a profound tool. Dee shares a touching story of a stressed friend who, after just one session, simply felt like "everything is going to be okay." This deep, soul-level relaxation is exactly where true, lasting healing begins.

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Healing Starts Here podcast! Today, host Dee Nicole sits down for an inspiring one-on-one conversation with Jose Zembrano. Jose is a naturalist and keeper of ancestral wisdom living in the beautiful cloud forest of Ecuador. In this episode, they dive into a deeply moving discussion about plant medicine, gut health, and how to find your way back to your true, vibrant self.

Jose shares his powerful story of falling severely ill at the age of 15. After facing misdiagnoses and harsh medical interventions that impacted his liver and mental state, he bravely sought an alternative route. This search led him away from the city and deep into the jungle, where he connected with indigenous tribes. There, he discovered the incredible vitality that comes from living in true harmony with nature, far away from modern stressors.

One of the core themes Dee and Jose explore is the concept of ancestral healing. Jose explains that much of our modern sickness comes from a profound disconnect with the earth. By returning to an "original diet"—free from processed foods, refined sugars, and alcohol—we can restore our natural microbiome. A healthy digestive system is the ultimate foundation for a clear mind, allowing us to sharpen our intuition and truly hear what our bodies need.

Are your physical symptoms trying to tell you something important? Jose gently challenges us to see our symptoms not as annoyances, but as vital signals. For example, holding onto a stressful job that doesn't serve you can actually manifest physically as digestive issues. Overcoming these patterns requires us to listen closely, slow down, and find the courage to make necessary life changes so we can move forward.

While plant retreats have gained massive popularity recently, Jose emphasizes the need for deep respect and careful preparation. Working with plant wisdom is a lifelong journey, not a quick fix. Engaging with these ancient practices requires proper guidance, a clean diet beforehand, and plenty of restful integration afterward. It is absolutely crucial to work with experienced facilitators who respect the tradition's true lineage.

Welcome back to the podcast! Today, our lovely host Mary Greensmith sits down with the brilliant Dr. Anthony de Pontes. With decades of experience starting as a homeopath, Dr. Anthony has expanded his toolkit to include functional medicine, lifestyle adjustments, and acupuncture.

In this episode, we explore why chronic healing seems more complex today, how our modern environment impacts our bodies, and how combining different healing modalities can help you reclaim your health and vitality.

Have you ever wondered why it sometimes takes longer to heal today than it did decades ago? Dr. Anthony explains that our modern environment places an incredible burden on our bodies.

• Technology and Light: Constant exposure to cell phones, Wi-Fi, and blue light plays havoc with our circadian rhythms.

• The Nervous System: This technology keeps us in a stressed "fight-or-flight" state, preventing the body from entering the restorative "rest and digest" phase necessary for true healing.

• Lifestyle Medicine: Correcting these daily habits is now the essential first step in any chronic healing protocol.

Dr. Anthony believes in meeting patients exactly where they are. Rather than overwhelming someone with an impossible five-hour gym routine, he creates tailored protocols using a blend of therapies.

• Homeopathy: A foundational tool to address both physical and emotional roadblocks.

• Functional Medicine: Moving beyond "normal" lab results to truly optimize the body. This includes targeted testing (like hair tissue mineral analysis) and essential supplements like Vitamin D3 and B12.

• Emotional Health: Dr. Anthony notes that up to 80% of physical diseases have emotional roots, making stress and trauma release a critical part of the journey.

For those hesitant about needles, Dr. Anthony offers a beautiful, non-threatening explanation of acupuncture. Drawing on 3,000 years of Chinese medicine, he describes the body's energy meridians as an intricate underground train map. When an organ lacks energy, disease forms. By tapping into specific points (the "stations"), acupuncture balances the body's electricity, relieves stress, and allows powerful energy healing to take place.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Healing Starts Here podcast! We are absolutely thrilled to have you join us. Hosted by Mary Greensmith and Dee Nicole, this podcast is an open, unscripted space where we dive deep into the fascinating world of healing, health, and human connection.

Healing begins with exploration, and in this inaugural episode, we thought the best place to start was by introducing ourselves. We come from very different backgrounds, but a shared passion for homeopathy and holistic wellness brought us together.

Mary shares her beautiful story of growing up in a traditional household where she often felt the need to escape convention. From a young age, her sanctuary was found in nature, working with horses, and dreaming of self-sufficiency. This deep-rooted connection to the earth and her inherent trust in the body's natural ability to heal eventually led her to study homeopathy, a path she is now eager to expand upon.

Dee takes us through her incredibly diverse background. Starting as a professional dancer, she learned early on how to communicate purely through movement and energy—a space where the body is always honest. Her journey transitioned from environmental conservation to exploring various modalities, including becoming a Reiki master and volunteering in Africa. For Dee, whether it's dance, religion, or homeopathy, it all taps into the same beautiful, universal human energy.

Our goal is to bridge the gap between traditional homeopaths and energy healers. We firmly believe that there isn't just one way to heal, and historically, different modalities have always worked in tandem. Whether you are deeply experienced in alternative health or just starting your wellness journey, there is a place for you here. We are so excited to learn, grow, and welcome new voices to the conversation.
