    Migraine Awareness: Understanding the Body's Signals

    Migraine is more than pain. It can affect vision, digestion, concentration, mood, energy, relationships, work, confidence, and the dreams we quietly place on hold while trying to manage the next episode. During this special Migraine Awareness Month conversation, Dr. Michelle Greenwell welcomes Kelly Richardson, bioenergetic wellness professional, educator, speaker, and founder of the Richardson Center for Learning & Wellness, to explore a different perspective on migraine healing. What if the goal is not only symptom suppression? What if healing begins by understanding what the body is prioritizing—and what life you are ready to reclaim? In this episode we explore: ✨ Why migraine can become more than a physical condition ✨ How muscle monitoring and biofeedback help identify body priorities ✨ The connection between stress, trauma, emotional patterns, inflammation, nutrition, and migraine experiences ✨ How the body may respond to physical, chemical, mental, emotional, electrical, and energetic stressors ✨ Why addressing the wrong priority may delay progress ✨ Specialized kinesiology and bioenergetic wellness approaches ✨ How Touch for Health can empower self-awareness and healing ✨ Why your future goals matter in the healing process Kelly Richardson combines kinesiology, neuroscience-informed wellness approaches, trauma awareness, energy work, and education to help individuals move from overwhelm into clarity, resilience, and wellbeing.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Michelle Greenwell is joined by Amber Horrox—author, migraine educator, advocate, and host of the Your Migraine Story Matters podcast. Amber shares her deeply personal journey of living with migraine for nearly 20 years before experiencing full-time disability in 2018. Through writing, storytelling, self-advocacy, and community, she found a pathway back to herself—and now helps others do the same through her work, publications, and educational programs.  This conversation explores what happens when pain becomes a messenger, when silence gives way to self-trust, and when reclaiming your voice becomes part of reclaiming your health.

    Migraine Awareness: The Mindful Migraine

    The Power of Metaphor in Healing with Linda from The Mindful Migraine June is Migraine Awareness Month, and throughout this special series on Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell, we're exploring practical tools, inspiring stories, and holistic approaches that can support those living with migraine. In this episode, Dr. Michelle Greenwell welcomes Linda from The Mindful Migraine, an Australian writer, researcher, and migraine advocate whose personal healing journey led her from experiencing almost daily migraines to finding greater balance through mindfulness, body awareness, and holistic wellness practices. Linda's unique perspective comes from her doctoral research on metaphors—the language we use to describe our experiences. Together, we explore how phrases like "I'm carrying too much," "I'm drowning," or "healing is an uphill battle" may reveal deeper clues about stress, nervous system regulation, and the healing process itself. In This Episode: ✨ Linda's personal migraine healing journey ✨ How metaphor shapes our experience of pain and recovery ✨ Choosing healing language that supports rather than exhausts us ✨ The connection between mindset, nervous system regulation, and wellness ✨ Tai Chi practices for reducing tension and supporting balance ✨ Touch for Health insights into common migraine-related tension patterns ✨ Gentle acupressure points for Wood and Kidney Element support ✨ Why healing isn't always about fighting harder Featured Tea Ritual: Releasing the Warrior Before the conversation begins, we share a mindful tea ritual featuring Releasing the Warrior from the Cape Breton Tea Company. This blend invites us to soften the fight and create space for healing. Affirmation: "My ability to let the fight go begins the healing process." Featured herbs include: 🌿 Parsley – supporting renewal, purification, and fresh beginnings 🌿 Coriander – offering clarity, cooling energy, and gentle emotional release Learn more about Cape Breton Tea Company: www.capebretontea.ca Learn More from Linda -  Follow Linda's inspiring writing and migraine recovery insights at: 🌿 The Mindful Migraine Blog The Mindful Migraine Connect with Dr. Michelle Greenwell 🌿 Greenwell Center for Holistic Health 🌿 Instagram: @michellebgreenwell 🌿 Instagram: @capebretonteacompany Reflection Question What metaphor are you currently using to describe your healing journey?

  4. Resonance Rising: Living Forward

    May 26

    Resonance Rising: Living Forward

    Resonance Rising Trilogy – Episode 3: Living Forward What if purpose is not something you chase—but something you remember? In the final episode of the Resonance Rising trilogy, Dr. Michelle Greenwell is joined by Ann Smets and Ann-Marie Boudreau to explore purpose, trust, universal connection, and the healing intelligence of sound. When we release the past and become present in the body, purpose begins to emerge naturally—as joy, creativity, contribution, and meaningful connection. This episode expands beyond the body and into the greater field, inviting listeners to explore the relationship between personal healing and collective resonance. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Purpose without pressure ✨ The body as a microcosm of the universe ✨ Planetary resonance and the symphony of creation ✨ Sound as the language of life ✨ Trust, intuition, and inner power ✨ Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, tuning forks, and OM ✨ Healing as contribution to the collective field This episode is a guided invitation to expand, listen, trust, and live forward in resonance with who you truly are. Today’s featured tea from the Cape Breton Tea Company is Mission4Change CommuniTEA, a soft herbal blend with the affirmation: “In Community we are empowered for change.” In this episode, we highlight the global essence of peppermint and rooibos. Peppermint brings clarity, upliftment, and active transformation, while rooibos offers grounding, nurturing, and heart-centered support. Together, they create a beautiful balance for conscious, calm, and purposeful action in the world. Prepare a cup as you listen, and let this blend invite you into reflection: How can clarity and compassion guide the change you wish to bring forward? Closing Mantra: When we become the embodied field, we add to the healing resonance of the world. ________________________________________ Connect with Our Guests Ann Smets Website: www.soulestara.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulestara22 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Soulestara Ann-Marie Boudreau YouTube: @ann-marieboudreau8570 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/annmarie.boudreau.1 ________________________________________ Connect with Dr. Michelle Greenwell Website: www.greenwellcenter.com Tea & Rituals: www.capebretontea.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michellebgreenwell/ Cape Breton Tea Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/capebretonteacompany/ ________________________________________ Free Gift + Stay Connected Download your free Top 8 Stress Releasers at: www.greenwellcenter.com Be sure to subscribe to the blog for weekly insights, wellness tools, podcast updates, and holistic practices to support your healing journey. ✨ Follow along on social media ✨ Subscribe to the channel ✨ Like, comment, and share ✨ Tell us what you are ready to live forward into #BeWellWithDrMichelleGreenwell #ResonanceRising #LivingForward #SoundHealing #Purpose #FrequencyHealing #AnnSmets #AnnMarieBoudreau #EnergyMedicine #HolisticHealing Each episode of the Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell podcast includes the BioEnergetic Wellness Formula.  That means that you have the opportunity to have a healing session while you listen based on the way the content is laid out and the activities we participate in.  Before listening you can create a goal or an intention of where you would like to be heading with an activity or in your life, then make your cup of tea, engage in the activities and celebrate at the end.  Are you looking for more resources?  The best way to find all the resources in one location is by visiting https://linktr.ee/greenwellcenter.  Become a regular listener of the podcast and purchase your own tea blends to assist you in transformation while you listen.  Our podcast is designed to bring balance and flow to your day, week, month, and year.  Thanks for sharing us with others who could also benefit.  Please send us your feedback and a review.  Support the show Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

    Resonance Rising: Peace in the Present

    Resonance Rising Trilogy – Episode 2: Finding Peace in the Present Healing happens now. In Episode 2 of the Resonance Rising trilogy, Dr. Michelle Greenwell, CIH BioEW, is joined by Ann Smets and Ann-Marie Boudreau for a deeply compassionate conversation about presence, grief, coherence, and the healing power of sound. When breath, body, heart, and awareness come into alignment, the nervous system begins to regulate, the body softens, and healing becomes possible. This episode explores how peace is not passive—it is an active state of energetic and physiological coherence. In this episode, we explore: ✨ What coherence feels like in the body  ✨ How grief, emotional suppression, and stress create dis-ease  ✨ The role of sound in emotional release and nervous system regulation  ✨ Keening, wailing, and vocal release as healing practices  ✨ Griefwork, palliative care, and compassionate presence  ✨ The spiritual dimensions of death, dying, and transition  ✨ Returning the body to balance through presence and sound Enhance your Episode 2 listening experience with “Livin' the Dream” Vanilla Bean Green Matcha from the Cape Breton Tea Company—a heart-centred ritual to ground your energy, sharpen awareness, and invite coherence into the present moment. With each sip, remember: home is not a place we seek, but a presence we create through self-love, self-acceptance, and connection within. This episode is a gentle invitation to meet yourself in the present moment and allow what needs to move… to move. Closing Mantra: When we become the embodied field, we add to the healing resonance of the world.

    Resonance Rising: You are an Instrument

    Resonance Rising Trilogy – Episode 1: You Are an Instrument What if your body is not simply a body—but an instrument of resonance? In Episode 1 of the Resonance Rising trilogy, Dr. Michelle Greenwell is joined by Ann Smets and Ann-Marie Boudreau for a powerful conversation exploring the body as a living field of sound, vibration, and intelligence. Together, we explore how your thoughts, emotions, breath, and voice shape your energetic state—and how healing begins when we consciously tune the instrument of the self. In this episode, we explore: ✨ The body as a resonance chamber  ✨ The four principles of sound healing: Resonance, Frequency, Entrainment, and Intention  ✨ How the nervous system responds to tone, rhythm, and harmony  ✨ The healing power of the voice  ✨ Vocal toning, chanting, tuning forks, singing bowls, and seed sounds  ✨ Why healing begins by restoring harmony within This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember: before we heal the world, we must first tune ourselves. Begin your Resonance Rising listening experience with a mindful cup of 1713 Spring Tea in Louisbourg from the Cape Breton Tea Company, inspired by the fields around the Fortress of Louisbourg and infused with lavender and rose to calm the nervous system and open the heart. This simple tea ritual is an invitation into reverence, resonance, and the remembrance that nature already holds the frequency of healing.  Closing Mantra: When we become the embodied field, we add to the healing resonance of the world.

    Facing Dementia: Episode 7 What if overwhelm isn’t the problem… but the message? In this heartfelt and insightful episode of "Facing Dementia", Dr. Michelle Greenwell welcomes intuitive transformation mentor, author, and podcast host Laurin Wittig for a conversation that reframes overwhelm and procrastination through the lens of whole-person wellness. So often, we label ourselves as procrastinators, lazy, overwhelmed, or incapable of getting things done.

In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why overwhelm is a whole-system stress response ✨ How procrastination may be a signal—not a flaw ✨ The “Joy Calendar” and why scheduling joy first matters ✨ The difference between forcing action and moving in alignment with timing ✨ BioEnergetic Wellness tools to regulate stress and restore clarity ✨ Tea rituals for emotional support, focus, and energetic movement ✨ Why caregivers and those facing cognitive stress need compassionate self-care 🍵 **Featured Tea Ritual: Mintal ClariTEA – Harmony Blend** This beautiful tea ritual supports clarity, calm, and forward movement with: 🌿 Peppermint – for momentum, focus, and energetic movement 🌼 Calendula – for clarity, healing, and emotional lightness 🍊 Orange Flowers – for optimism, calm, and gentle uplift At the Greenwell Center, tea is more than a beverage—it’s a wellness ritual. 💚 Ready for more tools to support stress relief and whole-person wellness?

About

Maximize your self-care plan with practical tools, reflective practices, and energetic insights that help you live, work, and lead with greater vitality. Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell invites you into meaningful conversations that bridge movement, energy medicine, intentional living, and compassionate care. Dr. Michelle Greenwell—educator, movement specialist, and leader in BioEnergetic Wellness—guides listeners through episodes designed to align intention with action. Each episode offers inspiration and grounded practices you can integrate into daily life, whether at home, in the workplace, or within caregiving and leadership roles. This season expands the depth of the podcast through special multi-episode trilogies, allowing listeners to explore healing topics more fully. These trilogy series create space to dive deeper into the lived experiences, science, and transformational tools shared by Dr. Greenwell’s guests—supporting real, sustainable change rather than quick fixes. A monthly featured series with Laurin Wittig brings focused attention to dementia, caregiving, connection, and quality of life. These conversations explore how presence, creativity, movement, nature, and relational awareness can support both those living with dementia and those who walk alongside them. This series is especially meaningful for families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and communities seeking compassionate, human-centered approaches. Each month also includes episodes highlighting Dr. Greenwell’s own teachings—drawing from Tai Chi, subtle energy, movement-based self-care, and intention-setting—to support resilience, nervous system regulation, and ease during life’s transitions. These insights are especially supportive for entrepreneurs, caregivers, and professionals experiencing fatigue, overwhelm, or burnout. A signature element of the podcast is the tea ritual woven into each episode. Sponsored by the Greenwell Center for Holistic Health and the Cape Breton Tea Company, listeners are invited to slow down, sip intentionally, and explore how herbs, affirmations, and mindful pauses can enhance well-being. Featured blends include the Tea with Intention series and Harmony Blends, part of the Building Resiliency program designed to help unwind stress and trauma.
