Healing Through Movement, Bodywork, Somatics, and Energy (It's All Energy) with Kandace Lopez

Chronic pain in your body. Negative emotions and stress. Energy. Kandace Lopez shares exactly how interrelated these aspects of your health and well-being are—and how integral it is to understand the energetic interconnection in order to overcome chronic pain, illness, and just overall pave the way to better health and wellness. I met Kandace through my Pilates teacher training in Dallas and quickly discovered what a multi-modal, intuitive healer she is. Her current focus is on bodywork, more specifically, myofascial release. She is also a master trainer in classical Pilates, the Gyrotonic Expansion System, and reiki. She incorporates these tools in her practice, as well as microcurrent and Amino Neuro Frequency patches… and probably a whole lot more by now. Kandace is such a quick learner and always has her hands on some new learning experience, and this was my second ever interview !! which was recorded in March. I should also note that we recorded this interview right after she did bodywork on me and it is crazy how different my energy and my voice sounds. She is magic!   IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT: What got Kandace started on her healing journey How her education in each healing modality has shaped her life and her work as a healer How humans store their emotions in their bodies (and how our body is so much smarter than our mind—it never lies) Kandace’s experience in working with trauma and energy through bodywork How Kandace’s work with others has helped her further heal herself Why Kandace doesn’t believe that we ever take on other peoples’ energy Her Christian faith and how she perceives the link between spirituality and energy Plus much more…   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE   Mentioned: Organifi Green Juice (Code: BRYANNA15) Anatomy Trains, by Thomas W.

It’s all of those emotional things that create a visceral response in your body.” “People who have had chronic pain or have been injured, you will start to see that when they move through a certain range of motion there is a complete lock down of the whole entire body. They have been injured doing that at some point before so now every time their body goes back through that, it’s afraid it is going to happen again.” “So, even when doing Pilates you’re doing fascial work and you’re starting to help the body disassociate between movement and trauma.” “You're only as old as your spine.” “When you have been beat up over, and over, and over again, or you’re trying so hard to guard and protect yourself, you do it by creating a physical barrier. So I wasn’t just hard on the outside, my body was in pain too. Chronic pain always has an emotional component.”   LET’S CONNECT Website: Bryannadee.com Instagram: @bryanna_dee Facebook: Facebook.com/bryannadee Pinterest: Pinterest.com/bryannadee/
