Ep 105 Are you over it? How do you know? This solocast gets a little personal as I share my perspective on “Deal with it,” “Get Over it,” and Suck it up, buttercup.” These are the common phrases we hear or tell ourselves and it made me wonder, is this a good thing? When Bessel van der Kolk wrote The Body Keeps the Score, the research shows that our body and cells hold onto deep emotional wounds. But, far too often, we stuff it all down. What happens then? Illness, disease, and pain - all the ways our body communicates with us. Recently, I experienced a DEEP emotional (Somato-Emotional, Body, Mind) release with a trusted Craniosacral Therapist from the Upledger Institute. This is a therapy modality of soft-tissue release that I have also practiced for almost 20 years. Be sure to ask your therapist when they last sought a treatment session. A skilled therapist will tell you that they are also committed to receiving treatments too. The giver needs to also release and re-balance themselves. What are you holding onto and is it serving your body, mind, and life? Is it better to get over it, or to shift into feeling and processing the emotion?

Welcome to Rock Your Shine: After you've been cracked wide open. On this show, I sit down with people from all over the world to hear their transformational stories on their deep grief and loss journeys.    In this episode, we are joined by Maryann, an intuitive soul reader who shares her insights on how we can connect with our intuition and find joy amidst grief. Maryann begins by explaining what an intuitive soul reader is and how she got introduced to it. She then shares how she receives her downloads and ways to differentiate between intuition and other external sources of information.   Maryann also explores why people lose touch with their intuition and the different ways we can meditate to tap into it. She offers recommendations for people who are just starting their meditation practices and emphasizes the importance of learning how to sit quietly with our feelings.   The conversation then shifts to the topic of grief and how we can find joy again amidst it.

Host Jeremy Quinby has a conversation with one of this teachers from years past in this episode. Carol McClellan is an internationally known educator for the Upledger Institute and has been treating new mothers, infants and pediatric populations for nearly 4 decades. She's most recently the Vice President of Education and Programs Development for APPAH (Association of Pre and Perinatal Psychology and Health).

In this episode I speak with Occupational Therapist and Bodywork Project alum Candace Pantoga, who describes how her longtime work in social justice led her to give back to her community through Craniosacral Therapy. Listen in as Candace describes how she got involved in social justice issues and how she ultimately had to choose the best ways to make a difference. This week on the Do It With Intention Podcast: Learn how a colleague changed Candace's worldview with one simple piece of advice, and how she became an ambassador for CranioSacral Therapy. Learn how you can use your massage and bodywork business to help local non-profits, and how a donation based clinic works. Find out why many journeys to healing are cyclical rather than linear, and how this is often the case with social justice as well. Resources from this episode: Candace is a Diplomate Certified Craniosacral Therapist, a Certified Presenter and study group leader through the Upledger Institute, who started practicing CST in 2012. She enjoys many aspects of CranioSacral Therapy, including taking classes, TAing, mentoring, participating in multiple-hands sessions and Comprehensive Therapy Programs, as well as treating clients 1:1. The philosophy behind her business is one of creating opportunities for more people to receive CranioSacral Therapy—whether that means volunteering her time at a homeless shelter, creating a donation based clinic, building relationships with non-profit agencies who serve low income individuals, or mentoring as many CranioSacral practitioners as allows in her schedule. Outside of her practice, Candace spends her time on self care, family activities, walking with friends, cuddling with her dog, and listening to mystery novels.

In this episode host, Jeremy Quinby, has a conversation with Anne Wister about her work with dolphins as therapeutic partners. It's easy to believe, as humans, that we are superior, that science and medical intervention can solve all of our mental, emotional and physical health challenges. The natural world, however, has an intelligence all its own that we should continue to explore and learn from. Through Anne's work of the past 20 years with in partnership with The Upledger Institute, we gain an insight into how dolphins seem to have an intention to learn more about us, and an interest helping us heal.

In this episode, Lyn interviews Etienne Peirsman who shares his story of being in almost complete kidney failure after a staph infection. He talks about his near death experience and how stillness and listening to his intution allowed his body to heal itself. We also dove into what craniosacral is (I highly recommend it!), why it is an important modality to support healing, and the importance of touch in our health and healing.   About Etienne: Highly inspirational and respected teacher in the field of CranioSacral, Etienne Peirsman came to Cranio in a non-traditional fashion. After a a staph infection left him with nearly 20% kidney function, he found that preparing to die brought him the clarity of total silence. In a remarkable turn of events, he was able to heal his own body, which led him to travel to the Osho International Meditation Center, where he was first introduced to Cranio, during an immersive meditation and bodywork training. Etienne describes Cranio as the the closest thing to that wonderful silence he found during his near death experience, and from that time, 31 years ago, it became his life's passion. His journey led him first to apprentice at the Upledger Institute in Florida, then teach at Bastyr University in Washington and the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts. He is the founder of Peirsman Cranio as well as the CranioSacraal Therapie Academy in Holland, where he originated the CranioSacral Professional Organization and is an honorary member of The Dutch CranioSacral Practitioner Society. Author of the pioneering book, "Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Small Children" published by Penguin Random House, Etienne is about to publish his second book "Tantric Aspects of CranioSacral". It is truly a unique experience to learn Cranio from such a passionate, talented teacher who infuses his classes with good humor and a deep dive into stillness. He strives to use simple language that engages our spontaneity. His methods are the middle ground between biomechanics Upledger style and biodynamic Sutherland style. In his classes, students learn to start from a no-mind space, a place where the mind can take a vacation, allowing their practice to unfold in non-duality, or what he calls the Midline. He emphasizes the power of touch to stimulate the secretion of oxytocin, a hormone that brings a feeling of oneness and values clarity as the result of being in touch with that Midline that connects us with our life-force, our true and infinite potential. Etienne travels the world with his life partner Toshiko, teaching where he is invited to share this opportunity of radical self transformation. He is also launching his first ever online class, that will have fascinating lectures and detailed instruction on all the hand placements, as a resource for students to learn and enjoy Cranio.   To connect with Etienne and his work: PEIRSMANCRANIOSACRAL https://www.peirsmancraniosacral.com/ FIRST CRANIO BASICS ONLINE MASTERCLASS https://www.peirsmancranio.com/ FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/peirsmancranio INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/peirsmancranio/ YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-C3go34Mi09AKH95A_z_eg LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/etienne-peirsman-b7713a257/ PINTEREST https://www.pinterest.com/Peirsmancranio/ TWITTER https://twitter.com/Peirsmancranio TIKTOK https://www.tiktok.com/@peirsmancranio?lang=en

Etienne Peirsman shares his story of how he got into Cranial Sacral Therapy, which included his own experience of self-healing and a miraculous healing of a friend. He also discussed the importance of intuitive healing and the power of Cranial Sacral Therapy to diagnose and heal. Etienne Peirsman discussed how stem cells are connected to the universal intelligence and don't think, but know what to do. He shares a story of a student and friend who were both paralyzed and were able to walk and talk again after a few craniosacral sessions. He also shares a story of a seven year old dyslexic boy who was able to read again after a few minutes of connecting to the life force. Etienne Peirsman teaches people with no knowledge of the body how to access their intuition and use conscious touch to bring instant mindfulness. He also teaches an intensive program where students go through nine courses to learn cranial therapy and deal with their own issues. He guides them through the process and helps them access the life force and release emotions. He also has online courses available, which I definitely want to attend!

Send us a Text Message.Roger Swanson, a cranio sacral therapist of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, shares an in-depth point of view of his gifts and professional practice. The body carries trauma...emotional, mental, physical and spiritual cracks in its depths. But the body can carry trauma of any kind for only so long. Having studied at the Upledger Institute for Cranio Sacral therapy, Roger applies learned skills with energetic gifts to release held energy....a simple walk through quantum physics and the use of positive and negative charges. In this episode, Roger treats listeners to a virtual session with co-host Lexi Strumor Saldin. His work is effective in person or across the virtual healing plane. Roger's understanding of his gifts and life purpose came at a later stage in his life. Roger offers individual sessions and occasional weekend retreats at his New Mexico home. Cranio sacral work sometimes requires layers of trauma to be released, and on other occasions simply talking to your body to clear and release held trauma, says Roger.

Join your hosts Sophia and Nina for an interview with local midwife, Tracy Lough. They discuss her work at Thrive Birth Center, her home birth services in LA, precipitous birth, rural midwifery, and kids at births. Tracy Lough, LM, CPM When I was growing up, I yearned to serve my community in a way that would bring children love and peace while fostering a connection to nature. In college I came across a book called Midwives; after reading it I felt deeply called to one day birth my own baby with a midwife. I got married, moved to Yellowstone National Park for a time, and then became an elementary school teacher in LA Unified School District. When my daughter was born at home I was forever changed. My midwifery journey began the moment I lifted her into my arms: I felt inspired to empower parents to educate themselves about the choices they have around birth. Nine years later, my third child was born swiftly into the hands of my oldest daughter, with her sister and my husband by my side. Welcoming siblings into the pregnancy and birth experience is a passion of mine.For years I taught Bradley Method Childbirth classes and hypnobirthing out of my home, educating women and couples about natural childbirth. My formal education began with Elizabeth Davis' Heart and Hands course, and continued with the National Midwifery Institute. As I studied, I apprenticed with a busy home birth practice in Los Angeles. In 2010, I traveled to Bali, Indonesia with my family to work at the internationally recognized Bumi Sehat Birth Clinic under the guidance of Robin Lim – winner of CNN's 2011 Hero Award. I am now a Licensed Midwife (LM) under the Medical Board of California and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) with the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM).I am the founder of The Birth Yurt, Humboldt County's first out-of-hospital birthing option. The yurt, on my 5-acre homestead in the redwoods, served as a sacred space for women and families to birth in. Together, my husband and I also offered the community a Waldorf-inspired, outdoor nature preschool on the property. Many of the babies born in the yurt later attended our school, where I had the privilege of watching them play and grow.I am committed to providing a safe space for women who choose to birth out of the hospital. I value building relationships of mutual trust with families through relaxed prenatal visits and meaningful care. I am certified in IV therapy and Neonatal Resuscitation, and bring knowledge of homeopathy and herbalism to my work with families. I am currently deepening my studies of craniosacral therapy with the Upledger Institute in order to continue providing healing for the babies and families I work with.I am based in Occidental, CA and enjoy spending time with my family in the redwoods. I am currently writing a book called The Birth Yurt, which I hope will bring harmony and change to our birth culture through stories and education. My work is so much more than a job - it is my calling and passion. I am thrilled to be part of Sonoma County, to continue welcoming babies in with a loving and gentle beginning.

In this replay for Breastfeeding Awareness Month, Annette Leary, IBCLC, RN, BSN shares with Michelle the multitude of ways that craniosacral therapy benefits people of all ages and stages in life;  especially as it relates to fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and infant feeding. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University."For newborns, those are the kinda things we look at: digestion, feeding, being able to self-soothe, being able to sleep- really disruptive sleep patterns with the babies. I'll also see situations where you know maybe the baby is a week or two old and I'll hear, "Oh, he is so strong. He is standing up." Hmm… babies aren't supposed to stand up at two weeks or arch their head back." —Annette Leary About Annette Leary, IBCLC, RN, BSN:Annette has been working with families for over 30 years as a pediatric/postpartum nurse, childbirth educator, and international board-certified lactation consultant. She enjoys working with the whole family to improve their state of wellness and to educate them on how to seek knowledge on managing their health. This commitment to families led Annette to become Upledger trained in Craniosacral Therapy. Connect with Annette Leary:Website: https://www.iahp.com/Annette-Leary/Facebook:  @Annette Leary,   @Annette's Natural Approach to Health and Wellness Connect with Michelle Smith:Classes with Michelle: birtheaseservices.com/birth-ease-childbirth-education, birtheasehypnobirth.com/hypnobirthing-classes-orlando-michelleFacebook:   Birth Ease,   The Birth Ease Podcast,  Birth Ease Baby Loss SupportInstagram:    @birtheasemichellesmith,  @birtheaselossssupportYouTube:    Birth EaseLinkedIn:  Birth Ease Michelle SmithWebsite:  BirthEaseServices.com  birtheasehypnobirth.comThank you for listening!!!
