    From Great Physical Pain to Fearless Relief with Rachael Kennard-Wall

    Starting with horses in Somerset, Rachael Kennard Wall never imagined her childhood passion would lead her to become a translator between mind & body. During her chiropractic practice, she noticed something curious: clients with chronic pain often improved –not through adjustments, but when life stressors resolved.  She then asked: what if our physical symptoms were actually messengers from our subconscious? She discovered that 80 percent of messages to our brain originate from our body, creating a constant feedback loop between thoughts & emotions.  Rachael helps clients identify their subconscious blocks that fuel repetitive patterns around feeling unlovable or unworthy, & that translate into physical pain.  Key takeaway? Genuine transformation requires working at the subconscious level. In this episode, Raachel shares: How your thoughts literally change your physiology (80% of brain messages originate from your body)Why affirmations fail without subconscious alignmentPractical tools like muscle testing & mirror work to access deeper healingThe role of metacognition, becoming an observer of your automatic patterns, to deep health Connect with Rachael & her work:  https://itsallabouthealth.co.uk/  📧 Email me michelle@mlrosko.com. ➕ Follow me on Instagram: @michellelynnrosko 🤗 Come into my online home: mlrosko.com ⃝ Make your body your home & your health your hero journey in The 4H Method: go.mlrosko.com/the4hmethod 👋 Get your FREE Goodbye Diets guide: go.mlrosko.com/goodbyediets 🙌 Get your FREE Enjoy Exercise guide: go.mlrosko.com/findjoyinexercise 🌗 Do the 24 Hour Health Reset: go.mlrosko.com/24hour 💫 Join the 30 Day Radical Renewal: go.mlrosko.com/30radicalrenewal

    A Special Taste of a Really Delicious Somatic Practice

    Join me for a special taste of a really delicious somatic practice, based on the premise that your body already knows how to heal. Recently trained in more somatic experiencing, I walk us through something genuinely refreshing…  Imagine your body has been trying to tell you something for years & you just haven't learned its language yet? That is exactly what this episode explores, and it might just change how you think about exercise, rest, & healing altogether. This episode explores: -How our bodies get stuck in incomplete stress responses, & that healing is not a one-time event but a continuous, ongoing process (This idea alone is worth the listen!)  -What it actually feels like to tune into physical sensations instead of mental chatter -A somatic practice to help you heal with exercise, encouraging you to notice pleasant sensations & bodily responses without judgment, showing how this simple shift can move you from fear & resistance towards confidence & trust in your body Because healing is a continual process, I’ve built The 4h Method as a container to keep supporting you. 4h prioritizes rest & healing before exercise & food, which runs beautifully counter to most health advice out there.
