Meet Rose Wood - an integrative coach and healer who has been hosting her women's circle - the Goddess Gathering for the last few years. She shares how being part of a women's circle helped her in her own healing journey and has since inspired her to create safe spaces for women to gather and connect - to themselves and each other. We also go through the general format of Women's circles to those who may be unfamiliar with them. And share about our very own Witchy Women's circle! Which is on the 21st March! This is our first online event and we are SO excited to welcome you. Tune in to learn about what you can expect. And see if it resonates. Book your ticket to our Spring Equinox Circle.

On this episode we are talking to Dr Dan is a doctor who has trained in the Western system, specialising in emergency medicine, but has always been interested in Chinese medicine. He has a truly unique perspective and I have been wanting to speak with him for a very long time. And it was well worth the wait! We cover some really interesting topics - ranging from meridians to chi and the emotions of our organs. I’m beyond excited to be sharing this episode with you. I hope you enjoy!

On this episode, we are talking to Brian D'Souza an award-winning sound artist, DJ., music producer, and live performer. His compositions fuse field recording from around the globe. With electro-acoustic production techniques to create acoustic ecologies, that are centred on exploring the psychological and physical benefits of sound. He is about to launch 'Swell', a sound wellness platform, app and service. I am so excited to hear all about this. I hope you enjoy!

On this episode we are talking to Tree Carr. A true Witchy Woman who explores the esoteric realms of death, dreams and divination. She is a published author, a high priestess, and a certified end of life guide - otherwise known as a Death Doula. In this role, Tree holds the space for healing, peace, support and compassion during the profound and sacred time of death and dying. Helping people spiritually, emotionally, existentially and practically at the end of their lives. This episode introduced me to the role of the death doula - which I found to be so important and interesting. I hope you enjoy!

So this is a re-run of an episode that I put out this time last year. I want to share it - because I think it is such valuable content to hear at this time of the year when families typically get together over the holiday period. This can be a difficult time for many families - including my own - and Leah helps us to normalise triggers and helps us prepare to handle them differently - by first becoming aware of your part - and being comfortable with uncomfortable feelings. And before we kick off with that conversation - I want to just jump on and say that my instagram account has been hacked and everything has been deleted. I am hoping to get my handle back - but have set up a temporary one - dr.bodymindsoul in the meantime - so please follow in case this becomes my only account. And please share as much content that you can with family and friends that you think are interested in learning more about truly holistic healthcare from doctors, healers, researchers and seekers. So with no further ado - I hope enjoy this episode and take something away to support your heads and hearts over the holidays. I will reconnect with you all in the new year - with new podcast episodes, research reviews and seeker stories. And I honestly can’t wait to share it all! To keep updated with all the IG drama that is unfolding - sign up to my mailing list. To get your hands on this and all the inside goss - either check out my website - www.drbodymindsoul.com or click the link on my NEW instagram account dr.bodymindsoul. So with that - I hope you all have a very merry Xmas - whichever form that takes for you. So many blessings. Jude x

Jessica Huie MBE, Founder of The Purpose Academy, is an entrepreneur and the Author of PURPOSE, the new edition with five new chapters charting her mid pandemic move to the island of Jamaica, is published by Hay House and out now. This book Purpose is medicine for the soul. It is a book all about the journey back to ourselves. Jessica shares her very personal path, which required her taking radical responsibility for her own perspective, choices and actions to move her from the victim of her own circumstances to becoming the author both in - and of - her own life. A life in which she now chooses to help others, including myself, do the same. Jess has a Magical day planned for the 14th December in London - a gift to yourself in the form of a day of presence to reflect, honour and integrate your learnings and accomplishments in 2021 and envision and dream into 2022. https://www.jessicahuie.com/a-year-of-purpose/ (A Year of Purpose - Jessica Huie).

This episode is here to Welcome the Witchy Women into the World. This is a new platform, founded by myself - Dr Body Mind Soul - to help you navigate the world of alternative therapies. This is a Home for Holistic Healers. It has been my experience as a doctor, that there is little to no guidance within the medical establishment for patients who want to explore non pharmaceutical options to manage or support their health. Alternative health practitioners are dismissed and disrespected - seen as non evidence based, unregulated and exploitative. These opinions are generally formed through ignorance and dare I say arrogance, because doctors are never taught about non pharmaceutical options. They are trained in medicine - pharmaceuticals - and this is the approach they have been trained to believe is the only way to manage illness. And don’t get me wrong. There is a place for drugs in disease. But from my 16 years of experience working A+E, I can see there are many people that need more help than medicine can offer them. We need to embrace alternative perspectives and approaches which get to the root of our symptoms which our current healthcare system fails to address. This is why I wanted to set up a curated community of trusted holistic healers - The Witchy Women - allowing us to learn what they do, how their healing modality works, who they are here to serve, and how they are regulated - to give us all the knowledge and confidence to approach alternative practitioners. And today I want to introduce you to - Oracle and Sage. An organisation dedicated to funding holistic healing to those who otherwise would not be able to access it. Holistic healthcare is largely not covered by the NHS here in the UK, which means patients have to pay for it and there are all sorts of reasons why this may not be possible for patients at any particular time. We at the Witchy Women want to address the inequality that this presents. Anyone who uses the platform will be given the option to donate to Oracle and Sage to enable us all to democratise the wellness space. Please follow Oracle and Sage on instagram @oracleandsage to hear when their product line is available for purchase. Remember 100% of the profits go to funding holistic healthcare to women who need it. And join their membership for only $1.11 a month in the knowledge that you are really making a difference - for less than the cost of a filter coffee!!! Blessings Jude x
