In this episode of the Integrated Wisdom Podcast, host Tatiana welcomes clinical psychologist, schema therapist, and breathwork practitioner Dannielle Kurr for a soulful conversation about spiritual transformation. Dannielle shares her profound journey through spirituality, with a particular focus on how motherhood served as a powerful catalyst for her spiritual awakening.Episode Highlights:Transformative Birth Experiences: Dannielle describes her two childbirth experiences as spiritual initiations, with her second birth culminating in what she describes as an orgasmic, peak experience that connected her to something greater than herself.Early Spiritual Influences: The loss of her father at age three created an early need to make sense of life's bigger questions, while her university studies in both psychology and Eastern religions revealed powerful parallels between these disciplines.Breathwork as a Spiritual Tool: Following a suggestion from her doula, Danielle discovered how breathwork could access similar transformative states she experienced during childbirth, including kundalini-like energy rising through her body.A Non-Pathologizing Approach to Mental Health: Dannielle shares her perspective that many mental health challenges represent "our souls signaling to wake up" rather than pathologies to be fixed.Professional Integration: She discusses how integrating spirituality into her clinical practice helps prevent burnout by recognizing there are larger forces at work and that "life happens for you, not to you."Book Recommendations: Dannielle recommends "The Stormy Search for Self" by Stanislav Grof and "Falling Forward" by Richard Rohr for listeners interested in exploring spirituality further.Dannielle can be reached on Instagram @affectivepsychology_breathI am so excited to announce that my SOLD OUT ‘The Conscious Therapist' course will be running again in May 2025.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into ancestral wisdom and holistic motherhood with Krista Tarantino. Together, we'll explore time-honored traditions, modern insights, and transformative approaches to motherhood, postpartum care, and breastfeeding. We'll cover: Ancestral postpartum wisdom: What we can learn from our foremothers about healing and care after birth. Reconnecting with feminine wisdom: Embracing our cyclical nature and the concept of “rewilding” for women and mothers. The science and energetics of breastfeeding: How breast health connects to the heart and detox systems. Practical breastfeeding guidance: On-demand feeding, co-sleeping, and overcoming common challenges. The importance of care and nurture: Why receiving support is essential in the journey of motherhood. + SO MUCH MORE! About Krista: Krista is an experienced Registered Nurse specializing in postpartum wellness and she is International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with a BA in Social and Behavioral Sciences. She is also a certified Innate Postpartum Care Provider which is care from the perspective of traditional teachings of midwifery, woven together with the modern sciences of Epigenetics, Pre and Perinatal Psychology, the Primal Continuum, Psychoneuroimmunology, Woman-Centered Physiology and Anatomy, Somatic Psychology and Neurobiology. Through her years of experience working in Mother/Baby care in multiple hospitals throughout California, she has witnessed the power women have at the most vulnerable time of their lives. Krista's experience of watching and working with women giving birth to new life, feeling love and loss, and embracing the highs and lows of the transition into motherhood, she has identified that these these rights of passage that happen in women are powerful and deserve acknowledgment. Birth is so much more than the physical act of birth - a powerful emotional and spiritual shift takes place and when a child is born, so is a mother. Krista is honored to walk with women through these shifts and has been moved to encourage her patients to embrace them openly and fully. These transformational experiences have opened her eyes to the importance of conscious health care and postpartum wellness. Teaching women to find guidance through informed choice, community, and within themselves has become her mission. She believes that when women are educated and empowered, our wellness can be an intuitive art. Krista loves making herbal infusions, spending time in nature, being in the ocean, traveling, meditating and teaching women about connecting to our natural cycles and traditional postpartum healing modalities.

He shares his personal journey of discovering the harms of circumcision and his passion for advocating against it. The conversation explores the cultural and societal factors that contribute to the continuation of circumcision, as well as the physical and psychological impacts it has on individuals. The importance of informed consent and questioning societal norms is emphasized.

The discussion emphasizes the need for men to shift their perspective and see circumcision as something that happened to them, not as an immutable part of their identity. It also touches on the importance of uncomfortable conversations and conflict resolution in relationships. The conversation concludes with advice for parents who are deciding whether or not to circumcise their child.TakeawaysCircumcision is a topic that requires education and awareness, as it impacts every person in America in some way.There is a disproportionate lack of public conversation about circumcision, despite its personal and societal implications.Circumcision removes 50% of the shaft skin of the penis, the highest density nerve endings, and is often done without anesthesia, causing lasting changes in behavior and sexuality.Circumcision is an irreversible and painful procedure that should be approached with informed consent and consideration of the physical and psychological impacts.There is a need for greater accountability and change in medical practices surrounding circumcision, as well as a reevaluation of cultural and societal norms.The comparison between male and female genital cutting highlights the need for consistent ethical standards and the recognition of individual autonomy and bodily integrity. Male circumcision raises ethical questions and challenges the concept of bodily autonomy.Cultural programming and societal norms influence people's perspectives on circumcision.Men need to shift their perspective and see circumcision as something that happened to them, not as an immutable part of their identity.Uncomfortable conversations and conflict resolution are important skills to develop in relationships.Parents should consider their values and the impact of their decisions on their child's bodily autonomy.Proper care for intact genitals is simple and does not require any special procedures.Please feel free to reach out to us with any recommendations for show episode ideas.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: March 31, 2017There have been dozens of documented cases where the recipient of a transplant, often involving the heart, apparently take on the personalities of the organ donor. Recipients also report memories of the donor, and memories that belong to the donor, despite never having met the donor. These cases range from very young children to adults. How can memories and behaviors be transmitted from one person to the next when brain and neural tissue is not involved? Does this phenomenon relate to the question of consciousness?Source articles for the episode:B. Bunzel, B. Schmidl-Mohl, A. Grundböck and G.

Many of our esteemed facilitators carry over half a century of experience and tens of thousands of hours in their respective fields. They've dedicated their entire lives to welcoming consciousness and supporting parents from preconception onwards. They're true luminaries who have pioneered and continue to pioneer, a new frontier of human and societal health.    This program focuses on optimizing trimester zero, recognizing its profound impact on all subsequent trimesters (1,2,3 and 4).    What makes Luminescence unlike any other pre- conception program that exists are the 4 foundational dimensions of awareness that Luminescence profoundly embodies:     1) We include the consciousness of the incoming soul(s) as participants in the unfolding journey and the #1 experts in conception, pregnancy, and birth.    2) We acknowledge and honor how the quality of the parental relationship is the bedrock and the ultimate sanctuary from where family life gets born and thrives (or not) lifelong.   3) We guide our participants towards healing their own birth, pre-birth, conception, and pre-conception imprints in preparation to conceive and give birth to re-script a new story for their future lineages.   4) We dedicate a whole section to the men's role in birth and family creation.   Luminescence is designed to support those consciously choosing the path of parenthood, now or in the future, to create a pristine home in their bodies, relationships, and lives, as well as those struggling to conceive or facing fertility challenges. It's likewise, for therapists, holistic practitioners, and health providers.

Perinatal psychologist Yara Heary shares her two birth stories and interweaves her professional insights to form a rich (and extra long) episode. In her first pregnancy she attended an education class about birth options and, after choosing community midwives for her care, she birthed at home. She talks at length about her challenging breastfeeding experience, relationship challenges in new parenthood and the importance of a safe space to talk through her thoughts and feelings in postpartum. Her second pregnancy was unplanned, hence she had to do a lot of therapy to come to a place of acceptance and excitement. This episode is brimming with honesty about the inherent challenges of motherhood and the fact that joy and grief coexist - in pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood.  --------------------- Prepare for a positive birth experience with my new book .

Kate White is a somatic trauma resolution therapist, Biodynamic craniosacral and advanced bodyworker specializing in prenatal and perinatal therapies. She specializes in healing early trauma by helping people work through and resolve the adaptive strategies initiated in their earliest years of life. Throughout her career Kate has helped to "educate professionals and the public, worldwide, that a baby's experience of conception, pregnancy, and birth creates lifelong consequences for individuals, families, and society."  In this episode Kate gives us an overview of pre and perinatal care, her skillset in presence and reading the space between people, and the influence of pioneers in the field Ray Castellino and William Emerson. We discuss the body as memory, and the layers and imprints of pre-conception, pre-natal and birthing trauma. She shares the commonality of the "double bind" and a "stuck place" in life as a result of inherited or birth trauma. We consider the regularity of ancestral imprints and their effect on the family system. Kate addresses the importance of our self-healing, and how treating a baby is in fact treating the whole family. She also shares her insights with regards to best birthing practices such as midwifery, the role of a birth doula, and extended support of the broader family.  Since 1999, Kate has studied alongside many of the pioneers in prenatal and perinatal trauma healing, with extensive education in anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, embryology, interpersonal neurobiology, craniosacral biodynamics and somatic experiencing. She is Founder and former Director of the Department of Education for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health, and offers online training in both Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics.

Anna is verpleegkundige met moeder-kind specialisatie, geboorteconsulente, en docent lactatiekunde en primaire periode. Ze kwam al vroeg in haar leven in aanraking met de pioniers en grondleggers van APPPAH, the Association of Pre en Perinatal Psychology and Health. Inmiddels is ze zeer ervaren op het gebied van preconceptionele tot postnatale begeleiding, oftewel de begeleiding van voor de conceptie tot na de geboorte. Anna geeft lezingen en workshops over hoe geboorte imprints en patronen ontstaan, en heeft hierover ook TEDxTalks in Oeganda en Amerika gegeven.  In deze aflevering vertelt Anna over de impact van de conceptie en geboorte ervaringen op het vervolg van je leven. Anna legt uit dat baby's de geboorte herinneren en zelfs herinneringen hebben over de tijd in de baarmoeder. Volgens de deskundigen waarmee Anna in de Verenigde Staten heeft gewerkt is de pre en perinatale periode zelfs de meest vormgevende periode in een mensen leven. Veel mensen weten weinig over hun geboorte en de periode voorafgaand. Zijn de ouders bijvoorbeeld verhuisd in afwachting op de geboorte? En hoe verliep de bevalling? Volgens Anna is het belangrijk dit soort vragen beantwoord te krijgen. Begrijpen hoe de reis van de baarmoeder naar de wereld ons leven heeft gevormd kan ons vervolgens helpen om geloofssystemen te veranderen en de kwaliteit van ons leven aanzienlijk te verbeteren. Aan de hand van verschillende voorbeelden maakt Anna duidelijk hoe gebeurtenissen tussen conceptie en geboorte doorwerken op na de geboorte. Stress bij de ouders bijvoorbeeld, wordt opgepikt door de baby in de baarmoeder. Celgeheugen speelt hierbij een rol. Ook ruzies tussen ouders of een overlijden in de omgeving werkt door. Een kind uit een ongeplande zwangerschap kan zich bijvoorbeeld ongewenst gaan voelen. Het belang van bewust een kindje op de wereld zetten wordt hiermee extra onderstreept.  Tot slot bespreken Anna en Jorn het effect van te vroeg geboren worden en dat van een keizersnede. En ook abortus komt aan bod. Een super interessante podcast over kennis die niet mainstream is, maar dat wel zou moeten zijn. Veel kijk- en luisterplezier!

If you haven't heard of Annie Brook before, you should have. She has a Ph.D. in perinatal psychology and is a seasoned somatic psychotherapist who works with birth trauma and developmental trauma. Her work is key to discovering why you repeat the same behaviors, resulting in the same disappointing outcomes over and over again. If you are curious about why you keep repeating the same patterns, and want to change but don't know how--this is the episode for you. Annie explains the different courses she offers so anyone can become ready for the relationship they've always wanted or heal their birth trauma. Additionally, she's trained therapists for decades in how to work with complex trauma in a sustainable and effective way. Plus, how to facilitate the unwinding and repatterning of patients on a cellular level. We talk about all the ways birth trauma can imprint and show up in adults, how to detect it, and integrate it to fully heal, something most of us want, even if we can't admit it to ourselves. We also, both share our in-utero and birth experiences and Annie provides some case studies from her over 4 decades of experience.

She's an active member and student of APPPAH, the Association of Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health. Victoria has been studying ancient tradition amazonian medicine for nearly a decade, which has included spending extensive periods of time living and working alongside her beloved master teachers and their families in the Peruvian jungle. Among her vast experience sharing the healing of this wisdom tradition around the world, she's had the privilege of working as a ceremony and retreat facilitator at Riosbo Research and Healing Center located in the heart of the Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve along the bank of the Nanay River in the Amazon rainforest, where the first-ever government-funded scientific research studies looking at the impacts of Ayahuasca on mental health and DNA expression are being hosted.

She provides radical birth preparation and education that equips them to conceive, grow, and birth their babies IN LOVE, free of industrial obstetrical mediation and intervention. One of her main areas of work is guiding adults back to transcribe the living memories of their own birth and pre-birth, conception and pre- conception experiences, in order to reclaim the energetic excellence of their own true essence, remember their power and purpose, and revitalize their health, life, work, and relationships. She believes this is the work of our time: coming back into right-relationship with nature, and consciously engaging as active participants in our lives. Victoria is a whole-hearted believer that in order to create a new world we must birth a new humanity, and we must remember the that health of women determines the families, which determines the health of communities, and therefore the health of our world.

A must listen for every human! Especially if you are going to birth a son in the near future.Circumcision is the most popular medical surgery in USA today. But somehow it got to the point of it being performed for health reasons more that religious reasons. However, the claimed “health benefits” are based on flawed science, and in contrast, circumcision has alarming health and traumatic dangers.But is there valuable ancient wisdom based in this rite of passage that religious and indigenous cultures have been performing for centuries?Or has the essence of these rite of passages been misunderstood?Is circumcision a violation of human rights? or are parents confidently making responsible and informed decisions?Our guest, filmmaker, public speaker and very passionate and active man, Brendon Marotta, made an award winning film: American circumcision, which presents science and opinions from both sides of the decision - to circumcise or not.  The film presents religious leaders, doctors, lawyers and human rights spokespeople on both sides.This is one of the most important podcast episodes on the Vital Veda Show, as the act of circumcising or not is a highly influential non-reversible act.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:
