The Holistic Doctor

Anddd she's back 🙋

After an 18 month hiatus from my collaboration with the Counseling Office (and life in general), I return with what feels like many lifetimes of lessons.

With more clarity, purpose, and an awakened sense of community and connection. I continue to serve my people, whether it's in NYC with wellness and pranic healing fam or amongst future doctors and practitioners of healing.
☯️
30 min sessions are FREE for NUNM students. In person or virtual. By appointment only, feel free to DM me with any questions.

It is with great honor and privilege to do this work and serve my community. Thank you. 🌀

Be well and take good care 💜

Something I've been digesting for a while:
💭
For those who are accustomed to comfort/ privilege and pleasure, discomfort can be a trigger. It might even feel like they're being attacked when their lifestyles or perspectives are being challenged.
🌀
For those who are accustomed to 'survival mode' and pain, pleasure and rest can be a trigger. That even in abundance and safety, they might find themselves doubting it while saying "This is too good to be true." Perhaps, an invitation for the familiar in both scenarios.
🌀
I've noticed that we continue to apply a 'one-size-fits-all' model to the oppressor and the oppressed - usually unknowingly. That pleasure activism, although very necessary, can easily be an excuse to evade accountability for the oppressor. And cathartic healing practices can reinforce overwork for the oppressed. Unless or until we see the totality of our experiences, we will continue to stay asleep.

In case anyone needs to hear this:
Rest yo fine *ss.

Take that bath. Sleep in. Take a nap. Eat that comfort food. Play those favorite jams.

Take care of you, boo 💜

Trauma-Informed Wellness & Medicine (and why we need it more than ever) 💫❤

I hesitated sharing this because being so vulnerable, crying, and sharing my pain can be very uncomfortable in private spaces (let alone a public one), but this is MY work. I'm breaking my silence after being silenced in so many spaces and centering myself and my experiences. These conversations and callouts are long overdue...

Let's talk about trauma, public health, equality and equity insensitivities within medicine, mental health, wellness, somatic and healing work. Let's talk about shame being a tool, enabling racist behaviors, and performative actions.

Stop performing and start doing.

Thanks for watching. Thanks for observing. And thank you for doing the work. ❤💚💜💙💛

Receiving the love and sending it to those who have to experience this too. You are not alone.
