— Through Patti's own personal journey, she has developed a unique approach to helping people regain their mental and physical health. There is a tendency for many of us to take life a little too seriously. Our tendency is to push ourselves too hard, believing that once we gain that new job, buy that bigger house, let go of those extra fifteen pounds, or finally end our physical pain, we will be happy. We all want new things in our lives, but what if we could obtain them by being fully grateful for what we already have? Patti believes happiness is a choice, rather than a destination. It might even be a behavior. The choices we make each day determine how we feel and behave. Our beautiful human experience includes both moving mountains and resting and recovering one day at a time. Do you dream of having all the health, happiness, and abundance you have always wanted? Would you like to gain more emotional intelligence and gain more control over your life? This episode will inspire you reflect and take action toward your wellness and greatness!  Valeria interviews Patti Norris — She is a Registered Massage Therapist, Certified Life Coach, and Faster EFT Practitioner specializing in the resolution of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. Through her own journey with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain along with treating hundreds of patients throughout her career with chronic stress-induced illness, Patti Woodworth-Norris realized the profound impact that stress physiology has on all aspects of health. By rewiring her brain and rebalancing her nervous system, she was able to free herself from anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and many other physical symptoms and stress patterns. She has since helped many clients do the same with diverse health issues, traumas, and self-sabotaging patterns. Patti is now a firm believer that everyone with a chronic health issue will benefit from neural retraining, and in many cases, it is critical to healing. To learn more about Patti Norris and her work, please visit: https://www.getwiredforwellness.com/ and https://www.pattinorris.com/                 — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health. The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well.

Use code BIRTHSTORYFRIEND for $20 OFF at BirthStory.com About Hannah  (and I'm so glad you're here) As a Registered Massage Therapist governed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) I've had the privilege of working in various environments including the High Risk Obstetrics Unit at Sunnybrook Hospital where my passion for working with pregnant folks fully emerged. After working at multiple different multidisciplinary clinics in Toronto, I've settled into a practice at my home clinic in the West End of Toronto.  In 2022, I began my training as a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula and Childbirth Educator with Doula Training Canada. Over the past decade, I have worked with a wide variety of clients but have been continually drawn towards working with folks during pregnancy and postpartum. In 2020 I was given the privilege of welcoming my son into the world and went through the truly transformative journey of becoming a mother. This ignited a passion within me to fully enter the birth space and offer support for parents during the perinatal period.  My work inevitably weaves together my experiences as a mover, movement educator and body worker. I lead with my values. I believe that Black Lives Matter, Indigenous Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter, and that the body is deeply political. I acknowledge my privileges as a white, cis-hetero, able bodied woman and remain committed to listening, reflecting and embodying the work of antiracism. I believe your body does not need to change in shape or size to become valuable.  I believe that movement has the capacity to heal and can be vital to wellness. Above all else, I believe that each person knows their body best. Now I'm on a mission to bring continuous care to the prenatal and postnatal wellness space for pregnant and birthing people (along with their partners and families) and to help you feel good and liberated in your body. Enjoy her stories! XOXO Heidi

Jumping right into today's episode we are discussing cycle syncing and how we can work with our bodies instead of against them. If you are a person who menstruates or you know someone who does, you will recognize that not everyday is amazing and in fact some days feel absolutely terrible. Over the course of a month you can feel different physically, mentally, and emotionally every single day. My guest Samantha Storozuk has a fascination with this topic and I am super excited to speak with her on how we can “flip the script.” Instead of powering through the month accepting it is what it is- we can take power to understand our cycle and schedule our month to optimize the highs and choose rest on the lows. The benefits of this career is that we have independence and we are in charge of our own bodies, and our own schedules. I hope you enjoy this episode with Samantha! ABOUT OUR GUEST Samantha Storozuk, RMT is a Registered Massage Therapist since 2016, she now co-owns Marchdale Massage in Ottawa, ON.Sam has an eclectic mix of topics she's passionate about, that she applies to her own personal practice and Massage Therapy in general. Want to see her really light up? Ask her about her latest fascination - it's always something new!

Paul says that the science of aches, pains, and injuries is surprisingly weird, controversial, and interesting, and his job is to translate it for both patients and pros. In his writing, he works to make it friendlier than the institutional health care sites, but more scholarly and detailed than most health blogs. My own experience on painscience.com was shocking....I was shocked at how gullible I have been over these many years. It was humbling to find several “areas of no doubt” ….of ”universal truths”, I thought ….that are actually based on repeated anecdote and faith in authority instead of scientific fact. I always thought that I was skeptical but it turned out I was a sucker for a well-articulated, logical explanation. Listen in to discover your own pain solutions that will really work for you.

Paul Ingraham is a Vancouver science writer and a former Registered Massage Therapist.  He left that profession over concerns about pseudoscientific beliefs and practices and went on to create PainScience.com, a website about the science of pain, injury, treatment, and rehab, where he has published hundreds of articles and ten books on these themes, the most successful of which is his guide to the tricky topic of “trigger points.” Today, Paul talks with Brodie about the pros and cons of medical scans. When injured, a diagnosis can help calm down the anxieties and confusion about recovery, but is getting medical scans always the answer? We dive into the protocols and presentations that may indicate getting a scan and the precautions one must consider. Lastly, Paul talks about the myths and misconceptions about bone stress injuries and the general consensus on stress fracture management.  Check out Paul's website and books here PainScience.com Follow follow Paul on twitter Become a patron!

One in five women worldwide has had the major abdominal surgery commonly known as C-section- the word major is no hyperbole. Seven layers of tissue (both abdomen and uterus) are cut through, to deliver the baby. Traditionally C-sections were only used in emergencies where either the mother's or baby's life/health was at risk. In modern-day society, they have become a regular pre-elected surgery.  Today on the podcast, Tahnee talks to C-section Recovery Coach, Doula, and specialised Massage Therapist, Nicole Alfred about all things C-section trauma, recovery, and post-surgery care. Working in this field for over 15 years and having experienced C-section herself, Nicole brings much depth of knowledge and awareness to the lack of C-section rehabilitative care available to women within the healthcare system globally. Nicole's work focuses on changing the current narrative about C-sections, not to promote them like they're better or safer than vaginal birth, but rather something to be avoided where possible. Nicole also works passionately to bring awareness to the lack of preparation and follow-up care that would routinely happen with any other major surgery. Through her multi-layered healing programme (The C-Section Recovery Method), Nicole guides women back to a place of connection within their bodies on every level- physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.    Tahnee and Nicole discuss the untold realities of what happens during and after C-section, the trauma women carry (physically and emotionally) post-C-section, why women need to be advocates for themselves and the care they receive no matter how they birth, and so much more. Make sure you tune in for this beautiful, eye-opening conversation.   "I tell patients, "This is where you gave birth. In this area that I'm working on, I don't just dig right into scar tissue like I would with a muscle that was tight, I respect it. Post birth body acceptance is really important, but it's also really hard. It is hard because what your body was before you had a baby; was just your body. But now you've had a baby and there are all these changes that have happened. And now you have this permanent line across you that may or may not hurt sometimes. And so, it's a lot to integrate. And unfortunately our medical systems are failing. They're failing women by not having the right information available".   - Nicole Alfred   Tahnee and Nicole discuss:   -C-section trauma -What happens in a C-section? -Massage for C-section scarring. -Body acceptance post C-section. -Bacterial infections post C-section. -Urinary incontinence post C-section. -Subsequent pregnancies and VBAC. -Healing the pelvic floor post C-section. -The damaging 'bounce back' ideology. -REST - why it's so important post ALL birth. -Dyspareunia (painful intercourse) post C-section. -The feeling of failure many women experience post C-section. -Corsets/belly binding - when and how we should be using them.   Who Nicole Alfred?
