    • Finding Expressive Freedom Through Somatic Voice Work with Stacy

      In this episode of Infinite Earth Body, I interviewed my long-time friend, Stacy, an amazing community organizer, abolitionist, healer, musician, and educator.

      We talked about:

      • Somatic voice work and finding freedom of expression
      • Healing generational body trauma
      • Stacy’s journey in healing work—from reiki, body work, to vocal sound healing
      • The major death-rebirth process of transitioning into motherhood
      • Cycle tracking for contraception  and radical education for embodiment
      • The healing power of water

        •
