    Episode 35: Being Heard - A New Paradigm in Women's Healthcare with Dr. Lisa Parsons

    Anna sits down with Dr. Lisa Parsons, a board-certified OB-GYN, osteopath, and founder of Maine's first direct care gynecology practice—an approach that's redefining what women's healthcare can look like. Through her direct care model, Dr. Parsons moves away from the constraints of insurance-driven systems and back into relationship-based care—offering patients greater access, transparent pricing, and the time and space to be fully seen and heard. Blending traditional gynecology with holistic modalities like sound therapy, Dr. Parsons creates an environment where patients can feel safe in their bodies, and engage more honestly in their healing process. This episode is an invitation to rethink healthcare as you know it—and to remember that your well-being is not meant to be rushed, managed, or overlooked, but deeply supported.   Connect With Dr. Lisa Parsons The Women's Song Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highergroundwomenshealth/ Website: https://highergroundwomenshealth.com/

Through a somatic lens, Anna invites listeners to recognize where they override their own needs in the name of connection, and how to begin unwinding these patterns. This episode is an entry point into reclaiming your voice, your boundaries, and your capacity to stay rooted in yourself—especially in moments where you've learned to disappear.
