Join us on this path to 100% mind-body integrity and wholeness, not by adding more restrictions, 'health-promoting' foods or practices, but through the unusual but highly effective gateway of scars.

Our guest, scar expert Kendra Toothill, assures us that we all have answers within ourselves. The challenge is that we often lack the skill to ask the questions that unlock those answers. Her stories illustrate how clarity and insight emerge when we listen to our bodies, nervous systems and scars

Kendra also explains how:

- Touch can offer bidirectional healing. When we touch our scars, both our scar and hand receive healing benefits, which can help rebuild neural connections and release trauma

- Sharing our experiences in community can lighten the burden of our individual struggles, and foster a more accessible and joyful healing process

- Natural environments can facilitate down-regulation of the nervous system and enhance our healing

Thanks to successful pioneering during the Covid lockdown, Kendra walks us through simple self- dialogue, hands-on practices that promote healing and enable us to build deeper self-relationships.

Overall, this conversation promotes a holistic approach to healing that integrates physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of well-being and encourages us to explore our inner landscapes as well as the wisdom contained within our scars.

About Kendra Toothill, Scar Expert For over 12 years, Kendra has been exploring scars' profound influence on our nervous systems and their connections to common ailments such as digestive distress, hormonal imbalances, chronic pain, and nervous system dysregulation.

After graduating from Montreal's Concordia University in 2013, with a degree in Exercise Science and a passion for holistic healing, Kendra quickly became disillusioned with mainstream health practices. Instead, she chose to forge her own unique path, placing scars at the forefront.

Her innovative Neuro-Scar Method integrates lymphatics, somatics, biomechanics, nervous system rewiring, and hands-on fascia therapies. Kendra's approach celebrates scars and has empowered thousands to reclaim their bodies through healing long-standing chronic conditions. Her mission is to guide others through transformative healing processes, illuminating the truth that scars are goldmines which offer deep access points to profound healing and self-discovery.

Outside her practice, Kendra is continually inspired by nature, believing that a deeper relationship with the natural world deepens our relationship with ourselves. Whether adventure hiking, exploring rivers, or soaking up the sun, she embraces the wisdom of Mother Nature as a vital part of her life philosophy.

Quotes:

"The way home to ourselves is to stop externalizing the process. Stop trying to tack more complexity into our "healing journey." To notice that the scar is actually the road map back into yourself, into your body, to reclaiming neglected parts of ourselves that have been damaged, that have been shamed, that have been forgotten. This is the goldmine, the road map to getting the integrity back in your system: Feeling true function, support and stability when your body is working as a unit." - Kendra Toothill
