Welcome back to Kindful the Podcast!
In this episode I open up about my struggles with chronic pain, and the holistic approach I have taken to healing it.
I share all about the various alternative and holistic health modalities I have tried over the years (there are a LOT), and share a bit about my experience with each of these.
As a disclaimer, I am not a health professional and am in no way providing health advice, I'm simply sharing my own personal experiences and what I've learnt through this journey.
I also don't intend to discredit traditional healing practices or Western medicine in any way, I just think it's important to look at the whole picture when treating someone. I am sad to think of the amount of unnecessary meditation I took, and thousands of dollars spent on treatments that were ultimately ineffective in treating the root cause of many of my issues; stress.
I hope that by sharing my experiences, perhaps it can open up awareness around some of the alternative options out there that can help us to find a greater sense of wellbeing, and physical and emotional health.
The wellness industry can be a confusing and complicated space to navigate, so I hope conversations like this one can shed some light on what some of these modalities involve and the benefits I've personally discovered from them.
