In this episode of The Creative Ascension Podcast, we explore embodied leadership, somatic healing, and conscious living through movement, nature connection, and the deep intelligence of the body with Tia Healey-Jellick. *In this episode we discuss depression, suicide and addiction. Please use discernment and ensure that you feel resourced enough to listen to this story. This conversation should in no way replace qualified medical or psychiatric advice. The Creative Ascension Podcast explores embodied leadership, spiritual entrepreneurship, and conscious business for visionary leaders building pathways for New Earth evolution. Join Debbie Lim and Tia for a raw, grounded, and deeply human conversation on movement as medicine, embodiment as devotion, and the body as a living oracle. This episode invites you to return to your natural rhythm, reconnect with your body, and remember the wisdom that lives within you. Tia Healey is an embodied movement facilitator, somatic dance teacher, 5Rhythms practitioner, and rongoā healer, devoted to guiding others back into connection with their bodies, the Earth, and their innate healing intelligence. Her work weaves together spirit (wairua) and body (tinana) through powerful somatic experiences, sound, movement, and ancestral wisdom. What began as creating herbal remedies evolved into Native Healing Herbals, a thriving nature-based business. Tia now leads workshops and spaces focused on body wisdom, plant medicine, embodiment, and natural healing, supporting both adults and young people to reconnect with themselves and the land. In this deeply courageous conversation, Tia shares her journey through profound life initiations — including trauma, addiction, mental health challenges, and survival — and how movement, embodiment, and meeting the shadow with honesty became her pathway back to life, wholeness, and truth. This episode is a powerful reminder that embodiment is not something we achieve — it is something we live, practice, and return to through presence, movement, and feeling. • Embodiment as a pathway to healing and self-leadership• Movement and dance as medicine for the nervous system• Healing trauma and mental health through the body• What safe embodied space holders actually are • Calling BS on love and light ascension without embodiment• Conscious sovereign parenting and addiction • The entity consciousness of meth and the suppression of the divine feminine • The power of Aroha and a mother’s love to heal Tia is a living reminder that embodiment is not about avoiding pain, but about having the courage to feel, meet, and move through it. If you’ve felt disconnected from your body, your truth, or your natural rhythm, this conversation offers a powerful and honest remembering.
