Healing Starts Here

Mary Greensmith & Dee Nicole

Welcome to Healing Starts Here — the podcast where homeopathy meets energy healing. Hosts D and Mary are both trained homeopaths with a shared passion for exploring the full spectrum of natural healing modalities. But they noticed something: for too long, there's been a hard line between homeopaths and energy healers, even though both are working toward the same goal. This podcast bridges that gap. From Reiki and acupuncture to plant medicine, hypnotherapy, and trauma work, Dee and Mary explore how energy healing is not something foreign — it's inherently human. Each episode brings open, unscripted conversations with practitioners, guests, and each other, guided by curiosity rather than rules. Because healing doesn't start with a single modality. It starts with exploration. It starts with conversation. It starts with a willingness to look at things differently. Healing Starts Here.

    Episode 17: Exploring the Akashic Records and Discovering Your Soul's Truth

    In today's exciting episode of Healing Starts Here, hosts Dee Nicole and Mary Greensmith sit down to unpack a truly transformative experience. Mary recently had her very first Akashic Records reading with Dee! Together, they explore what actually happens during a reading, how the records reveal our soul's deepest history, and the powerful, real-world changes that occur when we finally give ourselves permission to shine our true light. A Journey Into the Akashic Records Mary kicks off the conversation by admitting that she had absolutely no idea what to expect. She's never even been to a medium! But almost immediately, the reading connected her to a powerful memory from forty years ago when she lived a very remote, self-sufficient life in the forests of Scotland. During that time, she wrote a story about living in the roots of a tree, driven by a deep desire to separate herself from society. Dee explains that the Akashic record keepers always speak to the unique language of your soul, triggering core memories and activating the wisdom you have carried across lifetimes. Giving Yourself Permission to Shine For Mary, the most profound takeaway was a direct message from her record keepers: you must shine your light so people can find you. She realized she didn't need to force herself into a noisy city to be seen. She could stay right where she was—on her quiet, remote island—and simply allow her authentic energy to act as a beacon. Almost immediately, Mary experienced a beautiful cosmic wink when a client booked a sudden coaching session with her simply because an Oracle card told him to "find the Empress"—a card depicting a wise woman sitting amongst the trees! Calling in Your Tribe Dee highlights a beautiful truth: simply holding your own unique vibration is the most powerful action you can take. When you stop hiding the pieces of yourself that you think will make others uncomfortable, you naturally draw your true tribe to you. Dee shares a fun memory of sitting on the steps of Columbia University, intentionally sending her energy out into the world, and instantly attracting a conversation with a complete stranger! It is proof that you do not always have to hustle or force connections; sometimes, you just need to be grounded in your body and hold your energetic space. The Ultimate Freedom Ultimately, exploring your Akashic records gives you the freedom to understand exactly why you are the way you are. When you understand your soul's history, you no longer have to question your desires or hide your true self. You can finally step out into the world as the fullest, brightest version of you!

    Episode 16: Understanding Kinesiology & Muscle Testing with Havva Said

    In today's episode of Healing Starts Here, host Mary Greensmith sits down with the wonderful Havva Said, an experienced homeopath and kinesiologist. Together, they break down the fascinating practice of kinesiology, how muscle testing actually works, and why teaching people to listen to their bodies is the ultimate form of energy medicine. What is Kinesiology? Havva explains that kinesiology is a holistic therapy that focuses on balancing three main aspects of the body: the chemical, the physical, and the mental/emotional states. Chemical: Focuses on what you put into your body, such as fresh air, good food, supportive supplements, and minimizing pollutants. Physical: Focuses on the structural body, ensuring you get good sleep, regular exercise, and avoid physical strain. Mental/Emotional: Focuses on clearing the mind, honoring a higher power, and maintaining freedom from anxiety and fear. When life inevitably throws these elements out of balance, kinesiology helps support the body back into harmony. How Muscle Testing Works The cornerstone of kinesiology is muscle testing. Havva explains that this is how the body physically talks to the practitioner. During a session, a client is asked to push an arm or leg in a specific direction while the practitioner provides gentle resistance. If there is an underlying issue or imbalance related to the specific organ meridian tied to that muscle, the muscle will physically test weak—even if the client is incredibly strong! From there, Havva acts as a detective. If the kidney meridian tests weak, for instance, she can test different herbs, supplements, or Bach flower remedies against the body. If the right remedy is introduced to the body's energy field, the previously weak muscle will instantly test strong! The Kinesiology "Fix" Once the root of the imbalance and the proper supportive remedies are identified, Havva performs what is known as a "fix." While the client remains fully clothed on the table, Havva uses massage to stimulate lymphatic points, hold neurovascular points, and stroke the affected meridians to unblock stagnant energy. Clients often leave the table feeling instantly lighter and incredibly relaxed! By pairing the physical fixes of kinesiology with the emotional support of homeopathy, Havva provides her clients with a beautifully well-rounded, holistic healing experience.

    Episode 15: Karmic Astrology & Soul Healing with Sara Elise

    In this eye-opening episode, host Dee Nicole sits down with Sara Elise, an incredibly gifted therapeutic astrologer. Sara shares her wild journey from being a staunch atheist to experiencing a profound spiritual awakening at age 21. If you have ever felt like you do not quite fit into the "normal" world, this heartfelt conversation is for you! Healing vs. Wholeing Have you ever heard of "wholeing"? Sara introduces this beautiful concept, explaining that true growth requires two steps. First, we must dive into our deep, human wounds and emotional baggage—this is the healing process. But simultaneously, we must rise up to connect with the wisdom of our higher selves. Bringing those two pieces together is what creates true wholeness. The Power of Karmic Astrology Astrology is so much more than just the sun sign horoscope you read in a magazine. Sara practices karmic astrology, which views your birth chart as a map of your soul. She explains how reading your chart uncovers the past experiences you brought into this life, your current evolutionary goals, and the tension between the two. Understanding your unique "hero's journey" gives you the profound objectivity needed to finally embrace your personal story. Authenticity in a Digital Age Dee and Sara also touch on what it means to stay authentic in an increasingly digital world. Sara passionately reminds us that each person is a divine spark. While AI can regurgitate existing information, it will never be able to replicate the unique, creative vibration of your soul. Now more than ever, learning about your astrological blueprint can give you the permission you need to embrace your brilliant, irreplaceable individuality.

    Episode 14: Top Manifestation Techniques with Mary Greensmith & Dee Nicole

    Welcome back! Today, hosts Dee Nicole and Mary Greensmith dive into the practical world of calling in your desires. Mary's Natural Gift Mary kicks off the episode by sharing her incredible journey. Despite leaving school at sixteen without a clear career path, she naturally brought her biggest desires to life. By age 21, she successfully manifested a farm with no mortgage, and later, she even conquered her fear of boats to sail the Mediterranean! Manifesting Beyond the Goal One of the most powerful manifestation techniques discussed is the concept of manifesting beyond your goal. Mary explains that if you desire a house but secretly fear losing it, you are actively manifesting both outcomes. To succeed, you must visualize yourself after the goal is achieved, feeling completely safe, happy, and smiling. Stay Open to the Universe Dee shares a hilarious story about asking the universe for a call from a man named John, only for a completely different John to call her out of the blue! She uses this to highlight how being too specific can cause us to reject wonderful opportunities. If the cosmic delivery service brings your gift in a circle, do not turn it away just because you asked for a square. Overcoming Hidden Fears The hosts wrap up by exploring how fear blocks our blessings. If you desire a busy healing practice but secretly fear the overwhelm, your mind will block the success. Instead, focus on the feeling of being completely supported.   Important links mentioned in this episode: Visit Mary Greensmith's website: https://marygreensmith.com/ Visit Dee Nicole's website: https://dinitanicole.com/   You can also subscribe to our podcast channels available on your favourite podcast listening app below: Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/4hsmoAF Spotify: https://bit.ly/hsh-spotify Follow us on our social media accounts: Facebook: https://bit.ly/hsh-facebook Instagram: https://bit.ly/hsh-instagram You can also visit our website at https://healing-starts-here.com/

    Episode 13: Healing Through Somatic Movement

    In today's episode, host Dee Nicole is joined by former professional dancer and healing artist Kristen Mangione. Together, they dive into the transformative power of somatic movement and how simply tuning into our bodies can unlock profound emotional and energetic healing. If you spend too much time sitting at a desk or feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation is exactly what you need! Energy is Movement Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kristen explains a simple truth: energy is movement. When energy stagnates, disease or discomfort often follows. By embracing movement and dance, we can actively shift and harmonize our energy. Beyond just the physical benefits, movement releases essential feel-good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, offering a powerful, natural boost to our mental health and acting as a coping strategy for depression. The Body Tells the Truth We can easily trick our minds, but our bodies always hold the truth. Kristen shares how modern distractions—from endless scrolling to binge-watching—keep us completely disconnected from what we truly feel. By engaging in mindful, intentional movement, we bypass the ego and tap into our deeper, subconscious truths. Discovering Dance Alchemya Kristen opens up about her personal journey of experiencing intense panic attacks while performing professionally. A spontaneous moment of deep presence on stage shifted her entire perspective, bringing her back to a joyful "beginner's mind." This inspired her to create Dance Alchemya, a safe, non-judgmental practice where participants often move with their eyes closed. This allows everyone—regardless of their dance experience—to explore their inner world without fear of judgment. Reconnecting With Your Body Are you feeling completely disconnected from your physical self? You are not alone! For anyone struggling with the effects of a sedentary lifestyle, Kristen recommends starting small. Pick a song that holds deep personal meaning and simply allow your body to move to it. Dee echoes this beautifully, championing the "5-minute dance party" as a perfect daily reset. "Your body is your greatest guide. It's your North Star. Honor that." – Kristen Mangione Remember, your biology and beliefs are entirely malleable. Trauma is not written in stone, and true healing is always within your reach.

    Episode 12: Clairvoyance & How to Trust Your Gut

    In today's fascinating episode of Healing Starts Here, hosts Dee Nicole and Mary Greensmith dive into the world of the "sixth sense"—and beyond! Have you ever walked into a room and just felt the energy? Or known exactly who was calling before you picked up the phone? Dee and Mary break down the "Clair" senses, explaining how we all have natural, energetic abilities that match our physical ones. If you're ready to stop talking yourself out of your own intuition, this conversation is for you! Beyond the Five Senses While we were all taught about our five basic senses in school, Dee explains that we have energetic senses to match them. These are commonly known in the healing community as the "Clairs": Clairvoyance (Clear Seeing): Receiving visual energetic information. Rather than seeing a ghost in the room, it usually appears in your mind's eye, much like picturing a pink elephant. Clairsentience (Clear Feeling): Walking into a space and instantly feeling the emotional charge or energy left behind. Clairaudience (Clear Hearing): Hearing an inner voice or message that guides you. Claircognizance (Clear Knowing): Suddenly knowing a fact or a truth without any logical explanation of how you acquired that information. Clairtangency, Clairalience, and Clairgustance: Receiving energetic information through touch, smell, or taste. Intuition vs. Psychic Abilities It is easy to get overwhelmed by terms like "psychic," but Dee offers a beautiful, grounding distinction. Your intuition is your internal GPS—it is information meant specifically for you to help you navigate your life safely and aligned with your soul. A psychic ability is simply taking that same intuitive sense and turning it outward to read the energy of the world and other people. How to Play and Practice Mary asks the question we are all wondering: How do we actually get better at this? Dee's biggest piece of advice is to simply play with it! Keep a nightly journal: Take five minutes at the end of the day to write down what energetic information you received. Reflect on your reactions: When you met someone new, did you notice their appearance first, the sound of their voice, or how they made you feel? Honor your truth: When you get a gut feeling to take a different route home, listen to it! The more you acknowledge your energetic senses without letting your rational mind talk you out of them, the stronger they will become.

    Episode 11: Animal Communication, Trusting Your Intuition & The Heart of Healing

    In today's beautiful episode, host Dee Nicole is joined by the wonderful Anita Panayiotis, a gifted energy healer and animal communicator. Together, they share an incredibly moving conversation about trusting your inner voice, the true purpose of healing, and the deep, unspoken bond we share with the animal kingdom. If you have ever felt a special connection to a pet, this episode will warm your heart! A Personal Healing Journey Anita takes us back over 20 years to when she was a busy young mother who received a devastating breast cancer diagnosis. Despite a doctor initially dismissing her concerns because of her age, Anita and her mother trusted their intuition. A friend later invited her to a healing session, and with an open mind of "what have I got to lose?", Anita experienced a profound sense of peace. That single turning point ultimately inspired her to learn how to heal others. Does Healing Ever Fail? Dee and Anita tackle a heavy but beautiful question: does healing ever fail? They beautifully explain the difference between curing a physical illness and healing the soul. Even when an illness isn't physically cured, energy healing never fails. Sometimes, the most profound healing happens by helping a person or an animal transition peacefully at the end of their life. The Magic of Animal Communication Anita's lifelong passion for animals naturally merged with her healing gifts. She explains how animal communication works by tuning into shared energetic frequencies. Because the emotional vibration of "fear" is the exact same frequency whether experienced by a human or a dog, Anita can tap into what an animal is feeling. From helping traumatized rescue dogs forgive their pasts to locating a missing pet lizard named Leo by sensing his surroundings, Anita proves just how unconditionally loving animals truly are. Trusting Your Intuition How do you know if a feeling is your true intuition or just your imagination? Anita explains that intuition comes from the gut—a sudden "knowing" or short snippet of information. Imagination, on the other hand, comes from our busy "monkey minds" trying to rationalize and overthink. For beginners looking to connect with their intuition, Anita highly recommends picking up a simple pendulum to practice tuning into your higher consciousness. At the end of the day, healing doesn't have to be complicated. As Anita reminds us, it can be as simple as a loving hug or a warm smile!

    Episode 10: Understanding Osteopathy & Fascia Trauma with John Corcoran

    In this episode, Dee Nicole welcomes John Corcoran for a thoughtful conversation about healing, the body, trauma, fascia, and the connection between our physical, mental and energetic experiences. From Physical Therapy to Osteopathic Practice John shares how his journey began in physical therapy before leading him into osteopathic manual practice. He explains how this approach looks at the body as a whole rather than treating each system as something separate. For John, the body has a natural ability to regulate and heal itself, and the goal is to understand what may be getting in the way of that process. Looking Beyond the Physical Body The conversation explores the relationship between the physical body, mind and energy. John explains why he does not see these areas as separate. He also reflects on how ideas that were once considered unusual are becoming easier to discuss as our understanding continues to develop. How Trauma Affects the Body A major part of the conversation is the impact of trauma and life stress on the body. John discusses how past experiences can continue to influence us and why trauma can sometimes become a reason for change and growth. At the same time, he stresses that trauma should never be dismissed as something that is simply "good" or beneficial. Each person's experience is different. The Role of Fascia John shares how his understanding of fascia has changed throughout his career. Rather than seeing it as simply connective tissue that holds things together, he describes fascia as an important part of how the body responds and adapts to what we experience. He discusses its relationship with sensation, posture, balance and the way trauma may be expressed physically. Healing Is Not Linear The episode closes with an important reminder: healing does not follow a straight line. John explains that progress can include moments of clarity as well as times when old patterns return. For him, healing means continuing to move forward, finding motivation and peace, and not allowing past experiences to keep us stuck.
