What if your symptoms were communication — not punishment?

In this powerful episode of Willow Healing Matters, Dayna Wylder joins Catherine Crestani for a deep conversation on multiple sclerosis (MS), trauma, nervous system healing, intuition, energy medicine, and the mind-body connection.

She was a logical engineer who didn’t believe in anything spiritual…Until heartbreak pushed her to the edge—and something answered back.

In this episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with Gail Behrend—author, speaker, and energy healer—to explore the moment that shattered her reality and opened her to a profound spiritual awakening.

After discovering her partner’s betrayal, Gail spiralled into despair—until she experienced a powerful encounter with what she describes as unconditional, intelligent love that changed everything.

What followed was a complete transformation—from skeptic to seeker, engineer to energy healer—and a 30+ year journey helping others understand one powerful truth:

👉 Energy is real—and learning to work with it can change your life.

In this episode, we explore:✨ What a spiritual awakening really feels like (beyond the surface)✨ How trauma can open the door to deeper consciousness✨ The truth about energy, emotions, and personal power✨ Parallel lives, soul memories & multidimensional awareness✨ Why emotional triggers are guidance—not something to suppress✨ How to shift out of victimhood and take ownership of your energy

Gail is the co-author of Energy Is Real! A Practical Guide for Managing Personal Energy in Daily Life, a grounded and practical guide to understanding your energy and creating real change.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt like there’s more to life than what you can see—or you’re ready to start working with your energy in a real, practical way.
