This week I am excited to introduce you to my friend, Sheetal Contractor.

Sheetal is a PA-licensed massage therapist, Yoga Alliance certified 500-hr yoga teacher/trainer (E-RYT500), and Wellness Coach. After being a corporate professional for 15 years, in the summer of 2006, she took a leap of faith and left the corporate world to pursue her passion – sharing mind/body wellness through yoga and bodywork.

Sheetal’s yoga background includes training from diverse styles allowing her to create her own approach that focuses on self-discovery, empowerment and self-healing. Her bodywork centers on gentle forms of massage therapy and energy medicine, including craniosacral therapy (CST), manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), fascial unwinding, marma therapy, and chakra balancing. She is also an author, speaker, and offers guided meditations and yoga content on her YouTube channel, Empowered Wellness with Sheetal.

Whether it’s through yoga, massage, or wellness coaching, Sheetal’s intention is to always provide a therapeutic experience that supports the individual’s unique growth and healing process. As she strives each day to live from a place of Self-awareness and Self-love, she hopes to inspire and help others to do the same.

Our favorite third-year medical student, Meghan Tveit, has joined us yet again to give us another glimpse into her medical training. This time we caught up right after she finished her general surgery rotation.

Meghan is a third year medical student at George Washington School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. A member of the 2020 graduating class of Harvard and my eldest son's girlfriend, Meghan appeared on my doorstep when the world shut down and then spent 6 weeks "bubbling" with my family during quarantine, during which time I developed a deep love for her bright, fun, compassionate, thoughtful, and curious approach to Pretty Much Everything. I know you are going to love not only Meghan, but what she has to share about her journey on the path to becoming a doctor.

This week I would like you to meet one of my dear friends, Ria Swift.

Ria is an energy medicine practitioner and intuitive seer who uses expressive arts, frequency medicine, family & system constellations, biomagnetism, and more. Using an ever-evolving toolbox of modalities, she has been helping folks heal from past trauma and wounds for decades. And having benefited personally from her work over the years, I can attest to the power of her approach, and am delighted to introduce her to you!

Amazingly, Ria started out as a dancer, not a healer. Her introduction to this field came from having had cancer three times in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Through her own illnesses, Ria became obsessed with wanting to understand what had caused cancer to grow in her body, hoping to find a solution that would reduce the changes of a repeat performance. 

So what does Ria's work look like? Well, in a nutshell, Ria heals with her mind. As a 'seer,' she 'reads' what you are holding and then moves it into a stable, healthy position so that self-healing can take over. As Ria says, "It's quantum physics, at its best!"

If you would like to get in touch with Ria Swift, you can do so by calling or texting her at:  
484-767-4890

You can also reach her through email at: [email protected]

Ria can also be found on Facebook. You can find her here: https://www.facebook.com/RiaSwiftHealing/

This week you get to meet Dr. Roger McFillin.

Dr. McFillin is a clinical psychologist, writer, speaker and podcast host, and a friend of mine. He is also an outspoken critic of the psychiatric diagnostic system, prescription drug culture, harmful treatments, misrepresentation of science in healthcare & pop culture beliefs about mental health that undermine resilience & coping...to name a few of his passions! As a specialist in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies for the treatment of post-traumatic stress, eating disorders & those struggling with anxiety, mood and chronic suicidal behaviors, he seemed a perfect person to have as a guest this week, given the sky-rocketing rates of mental health diagnoses.

You can find out more about Dr. McFillin and find his podcast, Radically Genuine, here: https://www.drmcfillin.com

This week I would like you to meet Dr. Jill Crista.

Dr. Crista is a pioneering naturopathic doctor, best-selling author, devoted educator, and creative innovator. Her superpower is to make complex medical concepts simple and digestible for the average person, and having been on the other side of her talks and teaching for the past few years, I can personally attest to this superpower.

Dr. Jill’s passion is to elevate the well-being of the planet by elevating the well-being of her inhabitants. Her books, memberships, and online courses support folks looking for concrete steps to conquer their own health challenges, and in that regard, I really feel we are kindred spirits.

Dr. Jill focuses on conditions that cause injury to the brain and nervous system, including mold, vector borne infections such as Lyme, and the debilitating autoimmunity that can develop from these exposures, called PANDAS and PANS.

She has now turned her efforts to supporting children and teens struggling with PANDAS and PANS. As a mother of children affected by PANS, she has combined the knowledge gained through her clinical and personal experience into an indispensable book titled A Light In The Dark for PANDAS and PANS.

If you would like to learn more about Dr. Jill Crista, please visit: https://drcrista.com

Dr. Jill  has generously offered to give my community 15% off any of her courses. Access your discount with the code, healinggrove.

I am over the moon this week to introduce you to a new friend: Anne Van de Water.

About a decade ago, I found my way onto Anne Van de Water's mailing list. My sister, Bethany, had been on a retreat of some kind with Anne, and she suggested I follow her newsletter for regular blasts of high-vibe positivity and goofy, heart-centered, down-to-earth advice for spiritual seekers. That all sounded pretty good to me, and let me tell you: Anne Van de Water did not disappoint! I have followed her journey ever since, and when I started a podcast, I secretly hoped that Anne would accept my request out of the blue to sit with me for an interview. And it finally happened!

Anne is a life coach, a yoga teacher, a spiritual mentor, and the founder of True Self Mastery and Wellness, where she helps her clients to align with their true selves, and achieve their potential. Her mission aligns closely with mine, and can be summed up in her words: "We need you and we need your gifts."

This week I would like to introduce you to Dr. Jack Wolfson.

People from all over the world seek out Dr. Wolfson’s consultation on heart health.

This week I am excited to share the second interview I had with Meghan Tveit, our favorite healer-in-training. I caught up with her at the beginning of an overnight call on trauma surgery....in her 86th hour of continuous work. 

In our conversation, Meghan reflects deeply on the ups and downs of this beautiful, emotional and rather exhausting journey, and despite the lack of sleep, she is characteristically inspired and inspiring. 

Meghan Tveit is a third year medical student at George Washington School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. A member of the 2020 graduating class of Harvard and my eldest son's girlfriend, Meghan appeared on my doorstep when the world shut down and then spent 6 weeks "bubbling" with my family during quarantine, during which time I developed a deep love for her bright, fun, compassionate, thoughtful, and curious approach to Pretty Much Everything. I know you are going to love not only Meghan, but what she has to share about her journey on the path to becoming a doctor.

This week I would like to introduce you to Suzy Griswold.

Suzy Griswold is a 13+ year Thyroid Cancer Thriver, and the Founder and President of HealingStrong. Upon her diagnosis, she took a different route than that of her 10 family members who had passed away from cancer previously. Suzy used a combination of the Gerson Protocol and grew closer to her Heavenly Father as part of her natural approach to healing. When others began asking for advice, and she learned of other naturally healed survivors, Suzy decided to gather them altogether and the vision for the very first HealingStrong conference in 2013 became a reality. A true grassroots movement. To date, 450 small community groups around the US, Canada, and 8 International countries have been a part of HealingStrong. HealingStrong empowers, inspires, motivates and equips group participants and members to live more whole and hope filled lives.

This week I would like to introduce you to my dear friend Marisa Cerveris.

Being one of the last two dancers to be hand-picked by George Balanchine for The New York City Ballet, Marisa left home at age 14 to follow her dream of becoming a dancer. After a long career with the NYCB, she lived and danced in France and Spain and traveled the world, finally landing on Broadway before settling in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania in 2001. When she arrived in Bethlehem, she was unable to find the movement classes that she was looking for, so she decided to birth what she was needing, knowing that others might be needing it as well.

SteelCore Studio was born as a mentorship to help young dancers pursue their dreams. It has since evolved into a place where everyone can find a personalized, mindful and healthy workout, using ballet, movement and pilates. Marisa  listens intently to each client, supporting them through their own journey into becoming a stronger and more well-balanced self.
