Women's Health & Fertility Podcast with Dr. Tina Yang

In this special episode, we're thrilled to welcome Julie Russell—a true expert in integrative healing and energy work. Julie is a Certified Hypnotherapist, QHHT Practitioner, Senior Licensed Reiki Master Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), Registered Nurse, and seasoned Integrative Medicine Practitioner. With over 8,000 clients and nearly two decades of teaching experience, Julie has transformed countless lives through her commitment to Reiki, hypnotherapy, and holistic healing.

Julie and I go way back—over a decade, actually. I was first drawn to her practice when I needed a new approach to manage my own anxiety. Her Reiki session brought me incredible peace and left a lasting impression that has stayed with me all these years. Since then, we've co-treated many patients, especially those on fertility journeys, helping them find calm and connect with their spirit babies as they prepare for conception.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

Julie’s Path to Reiki – How she discovered this powerful healing modality and its transformative impact on her life and practice.

What Reiki Is – Understanding Reiki as a gentle yet profound form of energy healing that can release tension, ease physical discomfort, and provide mental clarity.

What to Expect in a Reiki Session – Julie explains what happens during an in-person and virtual session and the sensations clients may experience.

Reiki and Fertility – How Reiki can support those preparing for conception by creating an environment of relaxation and emotional readiness.

Connecting to Spirit Babies – Julie shares insights on helping patients connect with their spirit babies and welcome them into their lives.

Common Conditions Reiki Treats – From easing anxiety and stress to reducing physical pain and aiding mental wellness.

Join us for this enlightening conversation as we explore the healing potential of Reiki for conception, wellness, and spiritual connection.

In this episode of the Women's Health & Fertility Podcast, Dr. Yang is joined by Malaika Clelland, a licensed clinical social worker specializing in perinatal trauma. Certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Malaika shares how this powerful therapy helps clients heal from fertility challenges, birth trauma, and pregnancy loss. EMDR works by allowing patients to recall traumatic events while following bilateral stimuli (e.g., a therapist's finger), which helps the brain reprocess the experience. This technique releases trauma stored in the body, leading to long-term emotional healing.

Malaika explains how unresolved trauma can affect the mind and body, leading to emotional distress and anxiety, particularly for high-achieving women facing fertility setbacks. She also shares strategies for postpartum mental health, including creating a postpartum plan, prioritizing sleep, building a support system, and asking for help when needed.
