Learn how to listen to your body’s language and start your own holistic healing journey. Key Information 02:01 – After enduring 10 years of childhood stress and trauma, Cindy was diagnosed in her early 20s with scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. 03:51 – Cindy’s healing journey began with an osteopath. In their first session, she filled a paper with her physical and emotional symptoms. 04:43 – An osteopathy goes beyond bones, they focuses on getting the body's systems to talk to each other again, especially a nervous system that has "shut down" or adrenal glands depleted from chronic trauma 06:22 – Cindy's neck vertebrae had lost their natural curve and were completely straight. Through years of chiropractic adjustments and specialized apparatuses, she successfully restored the spacing and curvature. 10:53 – Cindy and Sarah discuss how Western medicine uses fibromyalgia as a "blanket diagnosis" for unexplained pain. From her experience as a massage therapist, Cindy asserts that it is often unresolved emotional trauma locked physically within the body. 14:15 – Cindy emphasizes that everyone has their own unique "recipe for wellness." While she used everything from counseling to energy work and shamanic healing, she notes that individuals must test what resonates with their own body. 16:19 – Later in her journey, Cindy used neurofeedback to "reboot" her brain's wiring, mapping her brain waves with electrodes to correct improper firing patterns and regain control over her nervous system. 21:36 – Cindy's tip for healing: take just a few minutes every single day to stop, check in with your body's physical sensations and respond with small, consistent acts of care (like rest, hydration, or movement).
