Another one of these amazing conversations with a brilliant healer and educator! Please join me as I sit down with Anna Rahe, founder and CEO of GST Body and fascia-based movement coach, to discuss:
what is fascia?
her brilliant insights on how it functions and how it’s the primary way to interface with ourselves
At 18 Anna Rahe felt 80. She was trapped inside her young body unable to find answers from every elite professional she sought for help. She became hyper focused on finding answers to her own physical pain and complicated health issues. Anna was driven by the desire to feel young, healthy and vital in her body. This instigated her to buck the medical and fitness systems and go rogue.
Anna took a 25 year deep dive into the body’s most complex and holistic system and along the way created a revolutionary new science based solution to health and wellness, the ability to use motion for much more than fitness- to remodel, recover, and restore function, health and vitality for the human body.
Certified in Pilates, Fascial Fitness with additional extensive study in the fields of physics, biomechanics and myriad movement methods (Yoga, Gyrotonics, Bartineiff, Laban, Applied Kinesiology, Tai Chi, Qigong) as well as manual body work techniques (Barral, Rolfing, Reiki, Rosen Method, dry needling). Anna created GST from the best of all her studies filling in the gaps from her own discoveries and research. Anna is a member of the Fascia Research Society.
As the founder and CEO of GST Body, Anna has spoken about holistic body care through fascia around the world, partnered with top athletes, surgeons, physicians, and celebrities, and has been featured in various publications, from Shape to Elle, Net-a-Porter to The Wall Street Journal. Throughout her career Anna has had the pleasure of working with and helping over ten thousand people find lasting change by restoring their bodies and reclaiming an ageless vital life.

Happy to have had the opportunity to engage in such an educational conversation with Kelly Smith, meditation teacher, podcaster, and yoga teacher trainer. Please join us as we discuss:
I’m the founder of Yoga For You, and the host of the Mindful in Minutes podcast. I’m an E-RYT 500, YACEP, and a location independent yoga and meditation teacher. I believe that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to yoga and meditation, and your practice should be as unique as you are.
I began practice yoga when I was middle school as a form of cross training for my sports, but it wasn’t until I was 16 and my world was rocked by my mom’s breast cancer diagnoses, and being trust into the role of primary caregiver at such a young age that I realized that yoga and meditation had the ability to heal, save, and get you through your darkest days.
The week after I graduated college I enrolled in my first yoga teacher training, and haven’t looked back since. Over the past 7 years I’ve dedicated myself to the practice and my students, taught over 5,000 hours, led trainings and retreats all over the world, and began sharing my personal guided meditations on my podcast, Mindful in Minutes.
I love to lift people up through their tough times, and help them find their true north by focusing on the less physical yoga practices like meditation, yoga nidra, restorative yoga and mindful flows. I believe there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach and the secret to success is finding what works for you.
I created Yoga For You, a location independent yoga and meditation school to serve students and teachers all over the globe that are ready to take the step and find the joyful life they deserve. I spend my days traveling globally offering trainings in restorative yoga, meditation, yoga nidra and recording meditations from my closet.
If you’re curious about my story you can hear it in my own words on this special episode of my podcast.

My heart is still smiling from this wisdom-filled conversation with author, public speaker, licensed therapist, and gentle soul, Edy Nathan. Please join us as we discuss:
the inspiration behind her book, It’s Grief: The Dance of Self-Discovery Through Trauma and Loss
the five stages of grief in comparison to the eleven phases of grief
her insights on EMDR therapy as a healing modality
Edy Nathan MA, LCSWR is an author, public speaker and licensed therapist. She is an AASECT certified sex therapist, hypnotherapist and certified EMDR practitioner with more than 20 years of experience. Edy earned degrees from New York University and Fordham University, with post-graduate training at the Ackerman Institute for Family Therapy. She practices in New York City.
In her expertise as a grief therapist she interweaves her formal training as a psychotherapist with breathwork, guided imagery, ritual and storytelling. Trauma, abuse, and grief cause the soul to become imbalanced: The goal of the work is to find emotional calibration or balance to defy the depth of darkness and the grip grief often has on the psyche. She believes that everyone experiences grief throughout their lives. Grief is not just about the death of a loved one, but the losses we experience in life.
Grief is hard to talk about. Edy teaches you to dance with your grief, To know it as a way to know yourself. Whether it is the loss of a loved one or the loss of a limb or the loss of the life you once knew, it is your soul that offers the answers to relief. An essential element in her practice is to offer clients the chance to combine psychotherapy with a deeper, more spiritual understanding of the self. She is dedicated to helping people understand their grief, cope with the fear and struggle that holds them back, and learn to live fully.

I am still smiling after engaging in such a soulful, love-filled, smile-inducing conversation with Ann Jonas, The Love Messenger, author and intuitive channel. Please join us as we discuss:
the inspiration behind her books
her lotus and mud philosophies
what she means by, “What is the mess that created you?”
Ann Jonas, aka The Love Messenger, is passionate about guiding and supporting those who desire to become more of who they truly are. She honors and recognizes that there is a transformational journey of remembering, it often involves lots of mud, and she is familiar with walking along The Lotus Path.
She approaches her work from a holistic, intuitive, spiritual perspective, with decades of experience as a bodyworker and birth doula and a lifetime of being in service, and always curious. Today her most powerful gift is Living as a Being of Love and Light, offering Transformational and Perspective Guidance, as an Intuitive Healer, Bodyworker, Channel, Shamanic Guide, Speaker, Workshop Facilitator, and Author, as well as Producer, of Sacred Connection: Finding Our Path to Deeper Connection with Self and the Divine.
Ann’s life journey has been like that of the Lotus, with plenty of mud. As she found her ground and stability in the depths of life’s challenges, she stood up to meet and accept her Path. Ann’s purpose in this lifetime is to be a part of this evolution in consciousness.
Ann knows the beautiful mess of this life while we come home to connection and presence with Self. She knows how to hold others where they are; living the truth of “our mess is our message”, encouraging and being a true witness and guide, as she has learned to be for herself. She creates and holds space, in a safe container.
“My desire is to support soul/human beings in the unveiling of the higher self and allowing spirit to bring abundant happiness and love.” ~ Ann Jonas
