    Season Six Episode Four - Speaking with Florence Riggs, vocal coach and sound healer

    Send us Fan Mail A Chat with Vocal Coach Florence Riggs: This podcast has always been about trauma, what it is, what gets in the way of healing and creative suggestions for recovery.  This episode with vocal coach and sound toning practitioner, Florence Riggs, therefore is a treasure as she's the real deal. And as my vocal coach for over 20 years, I can't give her enough positive juice for who she is and her ability to help both new singers or seasoned celebrities.  One thing I have found with my voice is that there are times I just can't sing, if the  energy in the room is not conducive to well being. I can always sing with Florence. She allows my abilities in a way no one else has. And that is why I am excited to be speaking with her today and letting you in on the chat:)! I will let Florence or Fiorenza, as I often call her, tell her bio and talk about how she came from NYC to Hollywood. Regarding my new radio play: The Music Stopped on Valentine's Day is the story of my late husband's death from hospital error. It is interspersed with his vocal tunes to celebrate his talent as a lyricist and composer. If you haven't had a chance to listen yet please find it on Dr Heather Uncensored, Season Six, Episode One. It may be easier to go to buzz sprout.com to find it. There are 95 other episodes with people like Dr. Peter Breggin, Dr Larry Paletsky, Del Bigtree, Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, Jane Barlow, and so many more to enjoy and learn from.

    Season Six Episode 3 Speaking with constitutional lawyer, Paul Jaffe

    Send us Fan Mail Hi Everyone,  Hope this finds you grounded and doing well in this chaotic time. In this episode, I speak with Vancouver lawyer, Paul Jaffe. Paul has been in practice for decades and offers great insight into the justice system in Canada. During Covid, he went up against BC Medical Officer, Bonnie Henry,  when pubs could be open but not churches. He isn't afraid to speak his mind on a variety of other subjects such as the horrific ostrich cull or Jim Heller's defamation lawsuit for simply saying potential mass graves. Paul has been the head commissioner at the NCI, the National Citizen's Inquiry, several times now, asking pertinent questions to our well-being.  I encourage you to check out this most extraordinary group, a citizen-led and citizen-funded effort that began first by examining Canada's response to COVID-19, and has gone on to other important topics that deeply affect us personally and as Canadians.  Kelowna was the last city to hold this ongoing, multi-city event asking "Are Farmers Safe in Canada?" I spoke as an expert witness Edmonton with the theme "Are Children Safe in Canada?" on The Flexner Report of 1910 when it was in Edmonton. It is a great eyeopener of how people have experienced the traumas of Covid, the ostrich cull, human trafficking, farmer's injustices and so on. Their website is nationalcitizensinquiry.org.  MY I:I WORK: (individual) I am now accepting new patients. I have a fifteen minute complimentary consultation to see if we are a match.  WORKSHOP FOR ADDICTS and/or TRAUMA SURVIVORS: This group workshop will begin online soon. It covers telling your story by writing, and performing (optional) leading to a radio/podcast show or on stage. We will allow each person's story to come alive in an honest and safe way. It's also really fun once we move past the fear and trepidation. Again 15 minute complimentary consultation to see if it is a fit for you. BOOK REVIEW Here's the latest book review for my book, Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE (adverse childhood experiences.) written by Vijay Vaishnav, MD (Hom), CCH https://www.californiahomeopath.com/rebirth-volume-20-issue-1/Blog%20Post%20Title%20One-3zaa9-zlxng-2e6m7-8hltb-y5ccf I hope you all are taking the time to take good care of yourself and your family. Don't shy away from discussions, its the cornerstone of a democracy and it's something we all can do.

    Season Six Episode 2 - The Explosion of Roots in Naturopathic Medicine with Dr Rick Kirschner

    Send us Fan Mail This episode, The Explosion of Roots in Naturopathic Medicine with Dr Rick Kirschner, is about naturopathic medicine coming back to its roots rather than hoping to substitute natural remedies in allopathic care. This is so important to Rick and other doctors that they have formed the Naturopathic Medicine Academy to bring our medicine home, back to its original basis for healing with nature. One of the problems with allopathic medicine is that it is based on toxic substances. And one of the big problems with naturopathic medicine currently is the reliance on allopathic medicine to define itself. Dr Rick Kirshner is a best selling author, filmmaker, speaker, educator, vitalist naturopathic physician, past president of Naturopathic Medicine Institute and current president of Naturopathic Medicine Academy. His website is talk natural.com where you can watch his documentary- How Healthcare Became Sickcare, the True History of Medicine. Please support the show! Receive state of the art information monthly or more that will inform your opinion on all things natural, as well as the experience of trauma, how to fold it into your life so you come out stronger. In this episode you are informed of the currents of naturopathic medicine by physicians in the field for decades. Don't miss out!

    Season Six Episode 1 - The Music Stopped on Valentine's Day - a full length radio play

    Send us Fan Mail The Music Stopped on Valentine’s Day, a full-length radio play, tells the story of Avi Noam Gross—my late husband—whose life ended due to a medical error. It weaves this painful narrative with his music, because I needed a way not only to tell what happened, but to honour Avi’s extraordinary musicianship. Avi was a gifted composer and pianist. He completed his thesis on Bill Evans at the University of British Columbia, and his instrumental album Sophie’s Heart is currently streaming. This piece features his standalone songs as well as music from our original musicals, The Calling Hour and Meshugeneh, the Musical. The Old Show had already been written, and we were on the verge of workshopping it when Avi received the Tdap vaccine and suffered a catastrophic reaction. I won’t go further into the details here—you know the story does not end well. With The Music Stopped on Valentine’s Day, I hope you will come to know what happened to an extraordinarily talented, humble, and deeply intelligent man—one who was often misunderstood because of his unique nervous system, which placed him on the autism spectrum.  It will be three years this Valentine's Day that Avi passed. With any luck he's hanging out with Bill Evans.  Deep thanks to my friends who helped with the show in some way: Josea Cooper, Walt (guitar) Aly, Shirley Perry, sound engineers MG ( flute), KvH, CM, as well as Michelle, and Paul J. Gratitude to my LA solo coach Jessica Lynn Johnston and Mira Wilder especially instigating the change of focus of the show. And to Beau, for all the licks and tail wags and hiking the North Shore trails!  NEW ONLINE WORKSHOP, especially for those with ADDICTION: Create a radio play - write it using the circumstances and characters of the bumps on your life path.

    Season Five Episode 3 - Speaking with mind control researcher: Jason Christoff

    Send us Fan Mail Having a great interest in mind control, I discovered Jason Christoff at NCI - National Citizens Inquiry - an amazing Canadian people-led group diving into what went wrong during Covid. The present theme and question is  Are children safe in Canada? (I spoke on the Flexner Report of 1920 in Edmonton in March 2025. The Flexner Report sabotaged our medical system by making our health care solely allopathic, excluding systems of medicine such as homeopathy, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic, midwifery and traditional  osteopathy.)          Jason has spoken on the subject of mind control at the US Senate and at the EU, Japanese and Romanian Parliaments. Jason operates an international psychological reprogramming institute where he teaches health professionals and members of the general public how to use positive forms of mind control, to make their lives (and the lives of their patients) better.Jason is set to release his first documentary titled PLANET MIND CONTROLthis fall, 2025.  In order to win the battle we're all in today Jason believes that each citizen must educate on the basics, in relation to how mind control works and how to avoid becoming a victim of it. Victimhood is another topic I hope to discuss through this podcast as I regain equilibrium after my husband's death by medical error. To that end my one woman show will start off as a radio play. I hope to have it ready to air by October 2025. This journey of grieving has been intense and I want to thank so many- family, friends, strangers, new friends from Har El, the grief group out at N Van City Library as well as PJ and Beau for almost daily walks. And NCI for hope and strength to get our world on a better course.  So much love, so much support has come my way...and I am sooo grateful. Jason grew up in Truro, Nova Scotia so this episode is dedicated to my cherished Maritime sisters and brothers and friends, who are confined by the ridiculous edict to not go into the woods today.  Much love to all and please pray for attorney Reinier Fuellmich who is imprisoned in Germany for political reasons. Relevant books for this episode include:  Rape of the Mind by Joost Merlo 1950s psychiatrist Anything by Hannah Arendt, German Jewish American, probably the greatest philosopher of the 20th century Essays and books by Matthias Desmet, Belgian professor and scholar Book by Richard J. Bernstein: Why Read Hannah Arendt Now Book by Yardena Schwartz; Ghosts of a Holy War Support the show #trauma #healing #music #sound healing #medical error #musicals #originalsongs #autism #soloshows #NationalCitizensInquiry #Creativity in Healing #Medicalfreedom #MindControl #Canadaontheedge #HealthCanada #CanadaLaw #TrueHope #truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine  #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossible #VictimeRecovery Books: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.

    Season 5 Episode 2 - Speaking with Jessica Lynn Johnston of Soaring Solo, teacher, coach and director

    Send us Fan Mail The deep healing that can occur through the Expressive Arts is only beginning to be acknowledged. In this episode I speak with solo show coach Jessica Lynn Johnston. She was my acting coach and director in my last solo show, Hidden. (See heatherherington.com for review). Writing my novel Flawed was lifesaving when I felt burn out from treating sexual abuse survivors as well as treating PTSD, addiction, autoimmune and so on for so many years. It allowed me to expresss emotion through my thoughts and ideas, helping me discard stress through creativity. And I kept writing whether it was the librettos fro Avi and my musicals or radio plays, essays and finally the books, Surviving a Viral Pandemic through the lens of a naturopathic medical doctor and Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE.  But for me performing solo shows has been the pinnacle. With Avi writing my tunes and singing them on stage while acting out my own sexual assault and embodying characters that supported my emotional recovery generated a healing so profound that I was actually shocked. And now years later I am creating a show about my late husband Avi Noam Gross who died from hospital error. And so with my acute grieving having subsided I am excited to bring my workshop back. Originally a retreat and called Moving the Pelvis to Healing, I am now naming it, Transforming Trauma through the Expressive Arts.  And this is why Jessica was a good person to interview as she has helped thousands of people, teaching them, coaching them, aiding them in transcending major bumps in their lives. You can reach her at SoaringSoloArtist@gmail.com or visit her website SoaringSoloStudios.com. For information on my workshop to be held on the North Shore of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, please email drheatherh@icloud.com, May you have a happy day! xo Support the show #trauma #healing #music #sound healing #medical error #musicals #originalsongs #autism #soloshows #NationalCitizensInquiry #Creativity in Healing #Medicalfreedom #MindControl #Canadaontheedge #HealthCanada #CanadaLaw #TrueHope #truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine  #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossible #VictimeRecovery Books: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.

    Season 5 Episode 1 - Back in Canada, with Shawn Buckley, lawyer and political health activist

    Send us Fan Mail Wow, it's almost a year since I have done a podcast...hard to believe...what a joy! Thank you so much for tuning in; I hope this finds you well and enjoying life, even with all it's insanities... This episode grew out of my meeting Shawn Buckley - lawyer and organizer extraordinaire - at NCI- National Citizen's Inquiry. He has done an excellent job there along with his wife Theresa and Ted Kuntz (see an early episode on Dr Heather Uncensored) and so many others...it is SO exciting to know this organization exists. I spoke at the event  held in Edmonton in March. That conference was titled Are Children Safe in Canada? As an expert witness I spoke on The Flexner Report of 1910 and how that has sabotaged our right to a full spectrum of healthcare. There were many others over that 3 day, 12 hour event...People like the hockey play Fleury spoke on sexual abuse by his coach; First Nation elders spoke on human trafficking; a mother who lost her daughter to a Covid vaccine, and so many more... The next NCI is in June in Ontario. Go to nationalcitizensinquiry.org I trust you will enjoy this first episode in almost a year!
