57 - Breathwork with Amy Stein
Today, we explore the simple yet fascinating topic of breathwork. Philippa is joined by the wonderful Amy Stein who gives us a detailed introduction into what breathwork really means and how the quality of our breath impacts our lives. Many of us have experienced feeling stuck in life and frustrated by repeated patterns, but few of us understand why this happens or how to stop the cycle. Amy unpacks the transformative power of breath in healing, and freeing ourselves from unhealthy patterns that keep us in a state of functional freeze, unable to move forward. Breath is always available to us, in any moment, regardless of the time or place. It’s not something new that has to be learnt and it’s completely free! Listen along to discover how you can add this powerful tool to your healing toolbox. You can find the previous podcast episode with Amy on the Meeting of Minds podcast HERE More about Amy: In a world where chronic pain and disease can be overwhelming, Amy’s on a mission to empower women to take control of their health and well-being. As a guide and educator, she leverages the wisdom of ancient healing techniques to help women transform into their own best healers. Through tailored support and holistic practices, she assists them in reclaiming their lives from the grip of pain and disease.  Amy’s intention is to discover the root cause of imbalances in your body that show up as chronic pain and disease. Clients come to her with health issues that they have not had results healing elsewhere and Amy helps them to get to the root cause of the problem and put together a plan for how to fix it.

55 - Somatic Healing with Katie Whittier

55 - Somatic Healing with Katie Whittier
Today we have another incredibly insightful guest episode to share with you, where Robbie is in conversation with Katie Whittier. Katie shares her story of being a high achiever, navigating a hectic lifestyle in a new city, with no support system or sleep, until she realised something had to change. Three years into her recovery she was diagnosed with autism, this revelation led her to realign her life to better support herself. Listen along to hear how Katie's journey has unfolded, as she draws from her experiences and research, to help us understand brain function and healing, emphasising the importance of self-compassion. Find out more about Katie below. Info about Katie Whittier: Katie Whittier helps high sensory individuals heal their anxiety, pain or self-doubt by training their nervous system so they can live with the ease and sovereignty they deserve.  She began her career in politics, working on such high-profile campaigns as President Barack Obama’s 2008 race and U.S. Senator Patty Murray’s 2010 re-election. She went on to serve as a communications consultant for several high-visibility organizations until a major mental breakdown changed the course of her life. Three years into her recovery, she was diagnosed with autism, and that’s when her healing journey began in earnest. She developed an intense interest in how the brain and nervous system work, and how neurological differences impact how we experience the world. To that end, she studied applied neurology and used its techniques to process her past traumas, de-weaponize her anxiety and develop the resilience necessary to live free from her old masks. She now coaches others to carve their own healing path so they can leverage their highly sensitive brains to propel their lives toward the abundance and freedom they deserve.
