The Intuition Conversations

In this week's episode I talk to Liz Reichard who is flying the flag for Qoya in Australia. Liz talks to us about family violence and how this impacts the feeling of safety for those involved. Leading on from this we consider intuition from that perspective and how accessing intuition can be a privilege if your basic safety needs are not met. We discuss her journey to Qoya and the differences in how Qoya is taught across the world and what she has learned from many teachers the world over. Finally Liz talks to us about the powerful work she is doing around body neutrality based on her journey of feeling empowered in herself. This is a fantastic episode that truly shows how you can move from feeling unsafe in your body and environment to truly feeling empowered.
About Liz:
Liz Reichard lives in a tiny little town just outside the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. She is a Qoya teacher and the proud owner of Sunranges Qoya.
Finding Qoya completely changed the course of Liz's life. She found it in the aftermath of a mental health breakdown brought on by her work as a lawyer helping women navigate their way safely through family violence. It awakened her to the power and strength within herself. It emboldened her to follow her intuition to become a Qoya teacher and then start her own business leading classes around Melbourne and Zoom.
Qoya is the way in which Liz will continue to help women and her aim is to bring Qoya to as many women as possible to help them to tap into their own inner strength and power.

This week I interview fellow Qoya teacher and pelvic health expert Sydney Zwicker.  Join us as Sydney tells us all about her passion for pelvic health, sexuality, Qoya and embodiment practices. Sydney images intuition beautifully in terms of it being split between the body and the mind and considers how we can allow the two to come together. We discuss the nervous system in its various modes and how truth and safety comes from a balance of the system. Finally she shares the importance and power that comes from connection with your pelvic wisdom and menstrual cycle. This episode really shares the power we have within to find our real truth. I cannot wait for you to hear the wisdom in this episode.
About Sydney:
Sydney Zwicker is a bodyworker and women’s health mentor based in Denver, Colorado. Her intention is to give clients and students the tools to journey into wholeness. She believe there is no one way, nor right way to heal. It’s a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and a whole lot of courage.
Her passion is to be a catalyst in shedding the stigma of the female-lived experience, through embodiment practices, such as Qoya, Holistic Pelvic Care and Women’s Health Massage. Outside of her in-person bodywork practice, she offers online courses, workshops and 1:1 coaching programs to help women reclaim their essence and embody their truth.

In this week's episode I speak to Claire Garin, who combines spirituality with sacred activism. Claire, a former social worker, had a powerful journey to intuition starting with a near death experience in an earthquake in Nepal. The experience triggered her exploration of life through the lens of following her intuition. At the time, she committed to follow her intuition for 3 years to see what difference it would make and after a life changing experience with Qoya at Burning Man, she removed the time limits and dedicated her life to live aligned with her  intuition. We discuss Le Bucher where Claire is creating a community at the intersection of wellbeing and sacred activism. We talk about her ongoing dedication to Qoya and the importance of being in right relationship with the lineages we teach and share and giving back to those communities. Claire reminds us of the power of intuition and the importance of remembering where our practices and teachings come from.
About Claire Garin:
After being a social worker and activist in the field of mental health for a decade, Claire became a therapist, Qoya teacher, spiritual mentor, and author supporting people to reconnect with the power available in the great mystery and through their bodies.
She's now bringing both of these approaches together by developing projects around Sacred Activism and the reunion between our commitments toward Social and Environmental Justice and the necessity for deep self-nourishment through spirituality and self-development.
She s currently the french voice of Qoya and the co-founder of Le Bucher, a place for Sacred Activism. She leads trainings and retreats and is the author of Sage, Sauvage et Libre.

In today's episode I talk to Amanda Thomspon, a creative coach, sober artist and goddess. She powerfully takes us through her journey to sobriety and ultimately reconnection with herself and her creative spirit. For a long time, Amanda was unable to claim the title of 'artist' but choosing to become sober in 2019 changed so much for her. We discuss how her sobriety is her superpower, how she discovered that she could be uniquely herself and tune into her intuition, which previously had felt scary to her. Her journey back to herself through daily meditation, creativity practices and journalling have shown her how multifaceted intuition can be and taught her how to move past the blockages to intuition. Amanda's journey is deeply inspiring.
About Amanda:
Amanda has been an artist all her life, She has a degree in art. On the 1st of September 2019 she launched her brand Creatively Curious and quit alcohol. Her life changed beyond anything she could imagine, she made the decision to guide and inspire other women to change their relationship with alcohol with Creativity, Mindset & Connection.  She is Practical Magic Facilitator and runs a free group alongside her other offerings supporting women to become resilient through creativity.
