Peace! Welcome to the latest episode of Healing Single Mothers. I'm beyond excited to be back recording new episodes. I took some much needed time away that helped me reconnect to the purpose behind Healing Single Mothers. I am pleased to announce a new season is here! Healing Single Mothers is back!! This show and space has never truly left me. I only needed to figure how how this piece of the puzzle fit into all that I am doing. Now that I have clarity around that, it's SHOWTIME! For the past year or so, I have been in hermit mode. Being unseen, unheard and offline. It was a tender time for me and I needed space for myself to breathe, to heal, and to listen to what my heart truly desired. During this time I returned to school and became a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist. Achieving this goal was a huge win and created a powerful shift in my life. Things are finally settling down and I have space to devote myself to what matters to me most, and Healing Single Mothers is on that list. On this episode, I share more about why I'm breathing life back into this space and what you can expect from me, including: The Healing Single Mothers book The overall mission I have for Healing Single Mothers What I've been up to and why… My plans for the show Upcoming projects and creations for single Mamas There's a lot of excitement. I think I said that word sooo many times, but I truly am passionate and eager to connect with single moms again.

How do you incorporate embodied healing into eating disorder treatment? Why is it important to have a bottom-up approach for body-to-brain communication in recovery? What is the role of the provider's embodiment in eating disorder recovery? MEET RACHEL LEWIS-MARLOWRachel Lewis-Marlow is a somatically integrative psychotherapist, dually licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Massage and Bodywork Therapist. She is also a Certified Advanced Practitioner in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and has advanced training and 30 + years of experience in diverse somatic therapies. Rachel is also the co-founder of the https://embodiedrecovery.org/ (Embodied Recovery Institute), which provides training in a trauma-informed, relationally oriented, and somatically integrative model for eating disorders treatment. Recently, she authored a chapter on the application of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to eating disorders treatment in the book, https://www.amazon.com/Trauma-Informed-Approaches-Eating-Disorders-Seubert/dp/0826172644/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TF25XZMWUQKD&keywords=Trauma-Informed+Approaches+to+Eating+Disorders&qid=1647446980&sprefix=%2Caps%2C480&sr=8-1 (Trauma-Informed Approaches to Eating Disorders).

IN THIS PODCAST:Reconnecting the mind and body - (06:11) Why somatic approaches help treat eating disorders - (07:10) Embodied recovery for eating disorders - (10:00) The role of the provider's embodiment in eating disorder recovery - (22:15) Reconnecting the mind and body[Stitching is about] how we allow that new felt-sense experience to build cognition, and how do we allow [our minds] to make meaning from that present moment, new somatic experience to build the belief about who we are and what the world is like for us to be in. (Rachel Lewis-Marlow) The concept of stitching is about reconnecting the mind and the body in a bottom-up approach, where someone is encouraged to make sense of an experience through what they feel and what they are presently feeling. This contrasts with the standard top-down approach, where people often rely on their minds to understand what they are experiencing instead of sticking with and feeling the experience itself. This way of stitching, of linking our felt-sense experience to our emotional experience and our cognitive meaning-making [processes], is how we do that. (Rachel Lewis-Marlow)Why somatic approaches help treat eating disordersEmbodied work is a missing piece in many standard treatment plans of eating disorders. It is essential because information about the world travels from the experiences of the body to the mind, and people experience the world as children long before they have the language to decode and organize everything. Those [body-to-mind] foundations are there, and if we do not provide people with experiences to have a new somatic organization through new somatic experiences, then what we're asking people to do is to constantly swim against the foundational current of what their body is telling their brain. (Rachel Lewis-Marlow) Encouraging somatic experiences to reconnect the body-to-brain circuit is what helps people to communicate better with their body and understand what their body needs. Therefore, people will no longer distrust their bodies and work against them, but instead learn to communicate with and trust their physical experiences again, which is a cornerstone to recovering from eating disorders. Embodied recovery for eating disordersIt is a weaving together of many different theoretical and therapeutic maps to help us understand how eating disordered behaviors are an expression of neurological dysregulation, and what is impacting [the] body's capacity to co-regulate … and self-[regulate]. (Rachel Lewis-Marlow) It is a way of...

It's the perfect way to initiate collaboration, create partnerships and learn different viewpoints all with the goal of bringing attention to maternal health.

Our goal through this discussion is to help moms recognize and manage the expectations. The experts strive to help moms to establish in advance what is realistic so disappointment is minimized and moms can feel more secure in their abilities. Summary: Common expectations of motherhood vs. the reality. The shifting of expectations throughout history. Reading an excerpt from an article in Time Magazine by Claire Howorth,The Goddess Myth: Why Many New Mothers Feel Guilt and Shame, how the goddess myth plays out in our expert's perspective industries and is it actually a pervasive problem. The role society plays in the goddess myth and what needs to shift to lessen the guilt and shame moms experience. Mom shaming as another source of pressure, how to deal with it and how to correct the behavior if we inadvertently find ourselves being the one doing the shaming. The pressure of comparison and learning to embrace the individual development of their child(ren) without feeling the need to compare their progress to others. The experts share their own experiences of working through the expectations of motherhood.

Shakira practices a natural dance called Rhythmic Bloom to recreate what it means to flow through her life's journey. During her undergraduate studies, she awakened to the systemic rules of wellness, boosting her interest in alternative healing methods that support the whole person. The catalyst to her embodiment of wellness sparked during her training to become a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist in 2011. Her bodywork practice focuses on moving through the deep, underwater currents of growth to extend the practice of music for musicians and artists. Shakira continues the rhythmic journey of interweaving social justice and wellness practices as she explores her presence in mixed-race wellness spaces. She and other passionate change-makers are building a Worker Cooperative that supports shared values of whole-body healing, uplifting the voices of their community, and to recreate the meaning of wellness through an anti-oppression and anti-racism lens. An evolving, passion project of hers invites singles to welcome a spirit-partnered relationship and live on purpose, which is counter to stigmatizing, dominant culture. Her e-guide, written under the pen name Coko Bonique, "You Know You're Dope, Right? Foundational Practices to Living Single," liberates individuals to tap into their natural rhythm and authentic essence to deepen the relationship to self and live with confidence and intention.In her free time, she loves the magic of fireside chats, spending time with loved ones, uplifting dance music and aerial dance as they all bring liberation and freedom to the mundane. Shakira earned her B.A. in psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill and trained with the Skill in Action program, completing her 500HR Yoga Teacher Training. Her yoga classes are deeply rooted to support inner well-being and create communities that value trust and compassion to work together to create a new system that rebels dominant culture.

Michelle has shared her work with many, for 19 years, specialising in Sexual Trauma & Intimacy as a Tantric educator, body worker and counsellor for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.Her passion stems from her own journey of discovering the medicine in the poison as she set it upon herself to reclaim her body, her breath, her sexuality and sensuality and express that in new, life enriching ways.Michelle very much believes that our mind can only take us so far into any release of body trauma and healing of our sexuality. The discovery of who we authentically are is not hidden in our thoughts but in the sensuality and home of our body.Her touch has been described by many as her gift to others. Her gentle, authentically honest & calming approach, a comforting breath of fresh air. Michelle is a mamma to four superstar fully fledged children and lives in the colourful, vibrant city of Brighton.----“I believe there is no greater wisdom or compassion than experience.No intellect can guide us where it has not been. At the tender age of 49 and what appears many lifetimes later, I am not sure there is any life situation I cannot empathise with.Life has taught me well with its tapestry of colours…From a childhood of sexual abuse, anorexia, to drugs, to homelessness, to the loss of a son, from life threatening illness to near a death experience, from marriage to single parent hood, to the loss of both breasts.But I sit here, writing to you hand on my heart, knowing I would not change a nano second of this life. It has shaped me into this woman who longs to guide you into your sensual aliveness and a life that deliciously keeps unfolding, as you step free from all that you were designed to be and responsibly own all that you authentically are.I am passionate about my “work” & “souly” committed to guiding others to reclaim and trust the world of body, sensation, intimacy and love, so they may connect with their “sex” & “own” its limitless power in a healthy, sacred way.Uniting sexuality, spirituality, body & mind so that sex becomes a sharing of fullness that “spills” in rich abundance into all areas of life. No more separate pieces of who you are.I deeply care about the “future of sex” for not only us but our children. I believe we deserve to know & trust, our bodies, touch & intimacy. We deserve to know our sex as our limitless potential. We deserve sacred relationships.I believe it is time to evolve beyond what keeps us “small”, into the undeniable, indefinable connection between who we are ~ love, body, sex & life around us.”Website: https://michelleroberton.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/michellekrobertonWeblinks: https://linktr.ee/sacred_tantric_touch_

We recorded this podcast just yesterday and did what was necessary to release it within 24 hours because our guest has 2 exciting projects that are happening this week and we wanted to get the word out to everyone as soon as possible. One workshop takes place this coming Sunday November 22nd, the first in a series, called “Manifest Monthly” of monthly yoga workshops to deepen your physical practice while supporting grassroots organizations. The other is a 4 month program, called “Hibernation for Healing” that begins this Wednesday November 18th. Hopefully you will be able to participate in at least one, if not both of these meaningful offerings. So my guest today is Shawna Emerick. Shawna was a guest 2 years ago and is a gifted Yoga Teacher, Thai Bodywork Therapist, Life Coach and Spiritual Activist. Shawna brings such heart and integrity to everything she does and it is truly a joy to shine light on Shawna once again. Yes, I encourage everyone to take a yoga class, workshop or retreat from Shawna or experience her balancing Thai massage healing touch, or receive the insightful guidance from Shawna’s life coaching. And I want everyone to support either directly or indirectly her “Manifest Monthly” series - it means so much to me that Shawna chose MADE Transitions as the first organization in her series. Shawna also describes her “Hibernation for Healing” program that she is co-facilitating and co-creating with Liz Moyer. She’ll describe both and more in today’s conversation. Please check out the show notes for links to Shawna’s email, website, and how to follow her on social media. Enjoy the podcast! Links: www.shawnashakti.com email: shawnalight@gmail.com M.A.D.E.

In this episode, we meet Jeffrey Shoaf; an Internationally Certified Yoga Therapist and a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist. His interest in the human form began at the young age of 8 years old when he would open up encyclopedias and learn about and practice drawing anatomy. As a young adult, he followed in his family's footsteps and became a Carpenter, Builder, and eventually a General Contractor. Around 2003, he shifted his career focus to become a Massage Therapist and was a student of yoga. He recognized that Yoga teacher training did not provide enough depth of anatomy. In 2005 when he spent time in a cadaver lab his fascination continued to grow. "Everyday I get up and I'm really happy that I do what I do and I find that there are so many areas that I'm still interested in and they all seem connected." In his practice today, he intuitively combines Yoga Therapy and Bodywork for each client he works with. Specifically with Bodywork he uses myofascial release techniques. He describes fascia as a biologic fabric that all over the body. It has a memory of its own and holds where the body puts it. He uses static pressure to release "trigger points" of fascia that are stuck or dry due to inactivity. Yoga therapy he describes as the science of using yoga principles to help in therapeutic applications with a combination of movement, meditation, and/or breath work. Jeffrey also teaches therapeutically based studio classes at Noda Yoga and the Cornwell Center. He also is part of a 300-hour Therapeutic Yoga teacher training(Integrative Yoga Studies) where he leads many of the modules. "We are looking at yoga as a model of total wellness. It's not just asana(movement), it's not just the postures. It's looking at the body as a holistic organism. And really offering that question to ourselves as teacher is "how can I get this person to function better in their body." He has recently partnered with Novant Cancer Center to lead a pranayama(breath work) program for patients with cancer. Jeffrey is excited about the partnership and providing support to those battling cancer. He also loves working with yoga teachers as they have a deep understanding of the body. He cannot wait to get back into the dissection lab as he has joined the local club "Experience Anatomy." Jeffrey is inspired by Dr. Gil Hedley who is an anatomist and researcher and one of the most well-known dissectors of fascia. He is also inspired by all of the yoga teachers at Noda Yoga and especially the co-owner, Jillian Longsworth, for her kindness and generosity. In Charlotte he is also inspired by Acupuncturist, Dr. Kevin Kim who did his first treatment on his grandfather at the age of 5.

We have the pleasure of meeting Tesia Love to today's podcast. She is an Ayurvedic Practitioner and a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist who specializes in Ayurvedic body therapies. She describes Ayurveda as Indian traditional medicine that is a cousin to traditional Chinese medicine. The main principle of Ayurveda is living in harmony with nature; your own constitution and outside. She recommends an Ayurveda consultation as a first step but some of her clients come to massage first. Ayurveda massage uses lots of warm oil which is very grounding. The focus of the work is with energy and the lymphatic system which is purifying and detoxifying. These massages can be customized to your own constitution. These massages differ from other massages in that they are deeply relaxing and grounding. So much so that Tesia recommends taking it easy for the rest of the day after. An Abhyanga massage will work on the subtle body and use lots of oil rubbed over the entire body. A Shirodhara massage will have a constant stream of oil poured over the forehead. "That treatment {Shirodhara}, you are laying on the table, the oil is streaming down consistently. It's almost like a mother gently rubbing her hand over a child's head." Tesia's journey to her current work started as a life-long passion and curiosity of all things health and wellness. She found out about Ayurveda in 2000 and was interested in it for it's ability to getting to the root cause of ailments. In 2010, she completed her 200-hour Yoga teacher training and started studying with the California College of Ayurveda in 2011. A Charlotte native, Tesia moved back in 2014 and completed Massage Therapy School at TMTI. Currently, she is finishing up her 300-hour Yoga teacher training with Lisa Moore, focused on Ayurveda Therapeutic Yoga. Tesia describes Ayurveda as comprehensive. It takes in account what you eat, your lifestyle, how you eat, what time you go to bed and wake up, herbs, bodywork, and yogic practices. Ayurveda comes from nature and considers the 5 elements(ether, air, fire, water, and earth) the building blocks of life. Each Dosha(vata, pitta, kapha) are made up of 2 elements. Vata is the quality of movement; dryness, coldness, circulation, elimination, thoughts. Pitta is the quality of transformation; metabolism, digestion. Kapha is the quality of heaviness; cohesion, growth, building. She describes the process of Doshas getting into excess and that is where imbalances are formed and using opposites to heal. For example, warm oil and slow strokes with a massage can counteract a Vata imbalance. "That's a huge motivation behind my work is helping to empower people to be well so they can do what it is they are here to do." Tesia is one of the few people in Charlotte who do this work. She is passionate about working with women and their health; fertility, postpartum, perimenopause). She has specialized training in Pregnancy and Postpartum massage. Many practitioners have been influential in her work over the years including: Dr. Andrew Weil, an Integrative Medical Doctor, Dr. Lad, an Ayurveda Doctor in New Mexico, Deepak Chopra, Maya Tiwari, focused on women's health, and KP Khalsa, an herbalist. In the Charlotte community, Tesia is inspired by Gracienne Jean Pierre who is a Nurse Practioner and Integrative Health Consultant, Lisa Moore who is a therapeutic Yoga teacher and Ayurveda Practioner, and The Sanctuary in the City organization who make wellness resources available to the Black and Indigenous populations. Connect with Tesia on her website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Insight Timer.

What can *really* change your reproductive life? Two things we talk about in today's episode of Hormonally Speaking. I absolutely loved having this conversation with Ashley Marie, who is a licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist specializing in Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy. And if you've never heard of Maya Abdominal Therapy, you are about to learn something EVERY woman should know about. You probably know by now that I'm into doing just about anything to help women with their fibroids, and this is one technique that can help tremendously. It also supports every part of your reproductive health, and can be particularly helpful with bringing back periods, easing period pain, and normalizing your cycle. We also dive into the other arena I want every woman to be educated on - FAM (Fertility Awareness Method). As Ashley mentions, it's 99.4% effective when done correctly. And even beyond fertility or birth control, FAM does SO much to connect you to your body and overall health. I wish I would've known about it as a teen, which Ashley and I also talk about. Being empowered with FAM at a younger age could help with so many issues that come up around sex and body autonomy. Ashley Marie is a Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist specializing in Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy and Intuitive Bodywork. After suffering from irregular and painful menstrual cycles for most of her life and getting no help in understanding them from her medical providers, she decided to trust that the healing was in her own hands. With a combination of herbs, massage and dietary changes she now has a regular, pain free cycle that she looks forward to each month. She is passionate about creating a space for women to transform their menstrual realities with womb work, reproductive health education and practical self~care rituals. She lives in an forested community in the Mountains near Asheville, NC with her husband and 4 children. Follow Ashley on IG at https://www.instagram.com/rooted.feminine/.

My mom is one of the many strong women I am surrounded by each day who motivates me to be the best I can be, act thoughtfully, and inspires me to be curious.  She's a strong woman. A friend. A daughter. A sister. A colleague. A chauffeur. A therapist. A chef. And an inspiration. I couldn’t think of someone more qualified to talk about life, personal growth, raising children, and finding a new purpose when it feels like your biggest job is done. The unique thing about my mom and something that I admire, is her ability to take risks and reinvent. She’s been in and out of many different career paths, each of which have been influenced by profound life events.  And two years ago, she packed up a UHaul and headed south, to Wilmington, NC to be closer to her happy place...the ocean. With no friends or clients there to greet her, she started a holistic wellness practice from scratch. She’s a licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist, has Advanced Training in Oncology Massage, is a Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master & Occupational Therapy Practitioner She's taken these credentials deeper to create a unique and meaningful integrative relaxation practice. Her goal is to create a nurturing and supportive place for people to find comfort, to be seen, heard and touched. I hope you enjoy hearing my mom and I chat and laugh about life, love, loss and so much more, including:  what it was like having children at 23. finding a sense of self and new path at 55. how death and loss manifest in our lives. dealing with depression while raising a family. why she’s not surprised I turned out the way I did. a few things she wished she did differently. ...oh, and her love for nude beaches.
