Tune in to discover the remarkable connection between our thoughts, muscles, and chemical processes as we explore the power of providing support to unlock the body’s innate healing abilities and release deep-rooted trauma.

Memorable Quotes
“Our body is designed to heal. And all we're doing is providing it the support it needs. And bodies do need support. That’s part of our design.” – Rachelle McCloud


“The healing work does not need to be painful or pushing. And I really want to take away a correlation
with the amount of pain you feel is the amount of progress you’re making. That is not true. Pain actually slows down the healing process. That’s why we’re in this in the first place, because something painful happened and it’s taking forever to get through the healing process.” – Rachelle McCloud
