In this episode, I interview Shawna Sanders, she is known for her authentic, loving personality and her empowering teaching style. She eloquently blends movement and spirit into an ever-unfolding journey of self-discovery.

She is here to help others find that which they need most, a home within their bodies and the courage to follow their heart.

Her fire comes alive when guiding students into the remembering of who they are, where they come from, and what it is they are here to do.

Through primal breath and movement, Shawna encourages the raw expression of individuality, understanding that this individuality is what will be the catalyst for change on the planet.

​As a mentor and coach she is highly attuned to her clients' needs and brings to light that which needs loving. She guides her clients into boldly embodying themselves, their essence, overcoming fears and limiting beliefs, speaking truth, and encourages everyone to journey into wilderness to find themself.

Shawna has a powerful ability to transmute trauma into gifts and bring darkness to light in a compassionate way by working on the relationship one has with their inner child.

While living in Topanga Canyon she became a certified Amba Movement Teacher, studying under her mentor Meghan Makena.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Melissa Thompson, a pelvic floor PT with a practice in Louisiana.

From Melissa's Website - 

Hi! I’m Dr. Melissa Thompson, PT, DPT, MTC. I’m a board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy with a specialty certification in Manual Therapy, which is a tool for hands on treatment. I am an advocate for holistic health, which means I believe in finding the root cause of your musculoskeletal condition from head to toe in one-on-one, hands on, thorough assessments.

A few years ago, I noticed a gap in my practice for the women who were coming to me for back pain issues, among many other things, when many of them also complained about pelvic floor issues that were likely related to their conditions.

After receiving further training for the pelvic floor, I have been able to combine my specialties to better address women’s health needs throughout pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the life span.

I am passionate about working with women's health because of the gap in holistic care to address pelvic floor symptoms. It was not until I worked with a pelvic floor physical therapist myself that I was able to address and manage my pelvic pain without relying on short term treatments like medication. This changed my life so much that I want to continue spreading this mission of addressing women's health with the tools to stay well, prevent worsening conditions, and heal pelvic health conditions faster with a manageable long term plan.
