331: Seen and Unseen Scars w/Ellen Heed

This week Julianne sits down with bodyworker Ellen Heed. Ellen is the founder of Scar Tissue Remediation, Education, and Management, or STREAM, to provide a unique paradigm shift in helping people find relief when it comes to scars seen and unseen.   Scar remediation is the heart of Ellen’s work. She describes what scar tissue really is and how scars can affect us, as well as the tools we can use to fix our personal structure and function. She tells stories of client experiences of invisible scars and debunks any preconceived notions listeners may have about scars only coming from surgery or skin injury.   Everyone has scar tissue, they just may not know it. Luckily, everyone can remediate their scars and find relief.
