Bio:

“Mary Giuliani is a Master Certified Coach, keynote speaker, and author of “It’s Not About Food, Drugs, or Alcohol: It’s About Healing Complex PTSD.” As a complex trauma recovery coach, she supports survivors in healing from complex trauma and achieving long-term recovery with food, weight, drugs, alcohol, and relationships, resulting in them turning their pain into power and purpose.”

Mary’s Book Release February 21, 2023:

Mary‘s new book is a blending of memoir, science-based research, and a practical Complex Trauma workbook & Addiction Recovery Healing Guide.

In it, Mary shares her story that in mid-life, she discovered the root cause driving her struggle with relationships, health, and work, and her past struggle with alcohol, drugs, food, and severe obesity was a condition known as Complex PTSD, a more severe form of PTSD that developed from her being raised in a chaotic alcoholic home.

This discovery sent her on a five-year journey where she researched leading experts in the fields of C-PTSD, neuroscience, developmental psychology, adverse childhood experiences, and addiction medicine to find the most effective treatments for optimal healing.

As she embarks on her trauma-healing journey, she shares experiencing one mind-blowing revelation after another as she learned C-PTSD was operating behind the scenes sabotaging her weight, recovery, relationships, career, and health. She then shares what she did to heal and how discovering and healing her trauma marked the single most transformative turning point in her life. She also provides access to all she’s learned through a compassionate, step-by-step C-PTSD workbook and Addiction Recovery Guide so her readers can embark on their own trauma healing and recovery journey.”

Tracey Whittet – Transmosis Healing: an Integrated Energy Clearing Technique Designed to Bring You Back to Wholeness

By thehealingplacepodcast | October 7, 2022

This powerful yet light-hearted conversation with Tracey Whittet, teacher, healer, intuitive, facilitator, and creator of Transmosis Healing, had me eager to learn more! Please join us as we discuss:

Tracey’s explanation of Transmosis Healing and how it came to be
her personal journey from corporate America into the healing arena
her philosophies on consciousness, awareness, intuition, energy and more
her book (available to download for FREE on her website!) The Magi Within: Unlocking the Gifts of the Inner Self
and so much more!

Bio:

“Tracey Leigh Whittet is a spiritual energy healer, sacred conduit, and intuitive guide located in Santa Fe, NM. Transmosis Healing is a unique, integrated blend of energy modalities that offers people multidimensional body balancing. These sessions clear non-beneficial energies on all levels, layers, timelines, and dimensions. Clients feel better, happier, lighter, and are uplifted by the 100% pure divine light clearing. Clients receive an audio recording of the channeled clearing to support integration and to go even deeper.

Training in many energy healing modalities has revealed a gift that by sharing what I see and hear and describing the energies presented provides deep healing. It seems to be a divine gift to be a messenger for our highest and greatest good.

I am a Certified Spiritual Healer, Multidimensional Body Balancer, Reiki Master, Access Consciousness Bars® and Body Facilitator, Creative Wellness Instructor, a practitioner in Divine Healing Hands, Theta Healing, Yuen Method, Healing Touch, etc. These trainings have evolved and led me to my integrated method that Spirit has termed Transmosis (An unconscious transfer and assimilation of higher energies to raise the recipient’s energy to equal the source energy).”

Kaity Rose Holsapple – Her Temple: A Sanctuary for Your Embodied Healing

By thehealingplacepodcast | July 15, 2022

This was another one of those soul sister connections as I engaged in an enlightened conversation with Kaity Rose Holsapple, somatic yoga therapist and founder of Her Temple. Please join us as we discuss:

Kaity’s insights on somatic practices to heal trauma wounds
her personal journey through sexual trauma into healing
her role as a somatic alchemy trainer
her philosophies on toning the Vagus nerve
and so much more!

Bio:

“Women who have experienced trauma are often blocked from their greatest gifts and superpowers. Kaity Rose Holsapple believes that through healing trauma, women also begin a vital initiation into more Soul Power and aliveness than they’ve ever known.

She knows this firsthand, through her own experience healing from severe PTSD after sexual trauma. This experience brought her to her knees, and she experienced some of the darkest years of her life feeling cut off from her own Soul.

In the years following, she sought support that would allow her to move beyond her victimhood to fully reclaim her body AND spirit in the deepest of ways… she committed to an impressive depth of study, therapy, and self work in the arts of yoga, mindfulness, energy medicine, psychology, and somatic therapies to gain insight on how to heal.

But it was through the wisdom and intuition of her own body that she created her own body of trauma-healing work known as Somatic Yoga Therapy – a blend of body, heart, mind, and soul-work for alchemizing trauma into Soul Power. She currently trains others as Somatic Yoga Therapy practitioners and works 1×1 with survivors of sexual, physical, and relational trauma who are ready to reclaim their power and lives.

What she has found in her work is that SO many people are walking around with residual trauma, feeling stuck, and holding themselves back without even realizing it!”

Dr. Nancy Stella – Using the Courageous Brain Process to Free Yourself from Fear Traps

By thehealingplacepodcast | April 29, 2022

So very happy to have had the chance to sit down with psychologist and author, Dr. Nancy Stella. Please join us as we discuss:

Dr. Nancy’s insights on fears, trauma, and brain plasticity
her own personal story of triumph over trauma
her book Fear Traps: Escape the triggers that keep you stuck
her counseling approach: Courageous Brain Process (CBP) – a 6-step science-based treatment plan to help people overcome fear
and so much more!

Bio:

“Dr. Nancy Stella has been a leading clinical psychologist in the Cincinnati area for over 20 years. As former president and owner, Dr. Stella expanded BridgePointe Psychological and Counseling Center into one of Ohio’s largest private, multi-specialty mental health practices with over 75 providers.

After a shattering divorce, Dr. Stella found traditional therapeutic approaches wanting, so she developed the Courageous Brain Process (CBP)—an innovative, science-based method of therapy. Rooted in the most up-to-date neuroscience, it bypassed the shortcomings of traditional talk therapy to re pattern the way our brains process fear.

When the results proved to be undeniably effective, Dr. Stella left BridgePointe in 2014 to open a counseling practice focused on the CBP. As a result, countless clients have been able to break free of self-destructive patterns triggered by unresolved fear. In addition, Dr. Stella provides training and consultation to other clinicians who want to include this method in their practices.”

David Richman – Transformation Expert: Inspiring Deeper Human Connection Through Life-Changing Stories

By thehealingplacepodcast | March 4, 2022

Such a smile-filled and heart-warming conversation with David Richman, transformation expert, best-selling author, motivational speaker, trainer, and consultant. Please join us as we discuss:

David’s insights on transforming your life
his own personal journey through the emotional chaos of cancer and his beloved sister’s diagnosis and death
his philosophies on becoming who you want to be
his books Cycle of Lives: 15 People’s Stories, 5000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of Cancer and Winning in the Middle of the Pack: Realizing True Success in Business and In Life
and so much more!

Bio:

“After working in a variety of industries–including launching two start-ups–David Richman entered the financial industry as an advisor. Several years in, he found that his interests were more in managing people and businesses than in managing money. Over the next 15 years, he managed ever-larger businesses for the same Wall Street firm. Among other pursuits, David now works with a nationally-recognized financial services firm committed to keeping the advisor in the forefront.

Over the last 10 years, David has completed over 50 triathlons, including 15 Ironman-distance triathlons (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run), more than 50 runs longer than marathon distance, including several 24-hour runs, running 85 miles in Mexico in the heat of the summer, running 104 miles straight from Santa Barbara to Manhattan Beach, and most recently biking 4,700-miles in just six weeks as he met with the participants of his upcoming book exploring the emotional side of cancer.

As a former sedentary, over-weight, smoker, David knew that he needed to focus not on what others wanted out of him, but on what he wanted out of life. Through lessons learned in business and sport, David introduces the concept of the “middle of the pack” and discusses how to get more out of ourselves than ever imagined. He applies this concept to life and business and adds value to the people he works with coming from the perspective of the “middle of the pack.”

David was born in Miami and raised mostly in the Los Angeles area. He and his wife split their time between homes in Southern California and Southern Nevada. He has worked in real estate, lending, construction, started both an animation company and a skin care company, and then went into financial services. He has college-aged twins who are as aspirational as their father. After losing his sister to brain cancer, David has organized a yearly fundraiser in her memory, the most recent being the impetus for his upcoming book, Cycle of Lives – 15 People’s Stories, 5,000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of Cancer.”
