Teresa Lau: Somatic Explorations for Transformation of Systems of Oppression

Welcome to The Queer Body! We are redefining the edges of queer identity and healing. The show is hosted by Dr. Laura Polak, Somatic Healer and Chiropractor.
Join us as we talk about how we define what Queer means and shapes the healing work we do for ourselves, our community, and as part of social justice.
" 'Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with ( that can be a dimension of it), but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and live." -bell hooks.
