(Part One): Kelly Welch shares her incredible story. In 2016, Kelly found herself lost, disconnected, addicted to crystal meth, and eventually, incarcerated. Kelly has mixed ancestry (Anishinaabe, Irish, British, & German). Kelly's grandmother was in a residential school, along with generations prior. Like so many other indigenous families, this is where disconnection from culture and intergenerational trauma was inflicted.

Kelly's lawyer connected her to the The healing of the seven generations; a non-profit organization that supports individuals affected by intergenerational trauma from the residential school system, or those whom face barriers when trying to access the supports they need on their healing journey. Kelly became greatly involved with The healing of the seven generations and embarked on a new healing journey.

Kelly speaks about the first time she heard the drum, how her spirit started dancing, and something woke up inside of her. Kelly is going on 5 years sober, and is on a continual journey of searching for guidance, practicing, teaching, and sharing her perspective & experiences.

I know you are going to be moved by this episode, enjoy!

Quincilia talks about trauma-based clutter, and how she supports people through identifying stuck areas and processing these attachments. Quincilia meets her clients with an individualized approach based on their unique needs. She offers a wide range of services: packing/un-packing, decluttering, organization, vietual coaching, and energetic space clearing (where she uses a combination of sound + Reiki to clear stagnant energy).

Erin literally does it all. Erin owns hybrid hair & detox spa (hhds), Erin started hhds in 2010, when she took a leap of faith and combined her passion for hair & beauty with her need to take care of the environment. Erin was on a mission to protect herself and her clients from the harsh chemicals traditionally used in her industry. The opportunity to purchase the salon she was managing at the time presented itself, and she realized this was fate. 

Fast forward to today, and Erin has accomplished so many other things alongside her successful eco-friendly salon. As you may have noticed by the title of this episode, Erin has many passions, and seemingly endless energy. On top of being the head hair stylist at her salon, Erin studied energy psychology & holistic life coaching, and now works with clients, as well as certifies coaches. Erin offers reiki services, restorative yoga classes, chair-yoga for seniors, ceremonies & events, hosts a radio show (that I was on recently!), facilitates mental health groups... and I'm sure I'm forgetting something because this woman doesn't stop.

Erin has used mindset, manifestation, and spirituality to overcome difficulties in her own life. She has found systems, practices, and techniques that worked for her and is passionate about sharing her knowledge and tools with others.

Erin and I have such an amazing conversation about her story, her mission, and the billion and one things she is up to. I hope you find value, and enjoy laughing along with us during this episode.

Jennifer is an Integrative Breathing Therapist, yoga instructor, and is studying to become a certified yoga therapist. Jennifer brings together the traditions of yoga, the science of breath and body, and the understandings of the nervous system & trauma, to help people move, breathe, and live more present and connected lives. Jennifer is extremely experienced and had an extensive list of education/training/certifications. (click here) to take a look at everything she has accomplished. 

When I first met Jennifer, in 2019 during my yoga teacher training program, she was introduced as a Buteyko breathing therapist. Since then, Jennifer has continued to broaden her understanding of breath through Dr. Rosalba Courtney's Integrative Breathing Therapy program. Whereas, Buteyko breathing focuses on the biochemistry of breath, Integrative Breathing Therapy, takes a broader perspective to functional breathing. This approach encompasses the biomechanics and psychophysiological aspects of breathing, in addition to the biochemical aspect.

This conversation is jam-packed with so much information to help you better understand something you do without thinking approximately 22,000 times a day, that is, breathing. I hope you enjoy this episode! 

I mentioned that I will be hosting a Better Breath Seminar March 5th, so stay tuned for more info regarding that, I hope to see you there!

In this episode we chat with TRE (trauma/tension release exercises) practitioner, Leslie Stokman. In addition to TRE, Leslie is a yoga instructor at The Branches and has a plethora of movement certifications and expertise. Leslie takes us through the practice of TRE and the science behind how it interacts with/elicits a nervous system response. 

"TRE is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance. TRE is based on the fundamental idea, backed by research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical." (traumaprevention.com)
