Anna Rahe – Fascia: How To Restore Your Superhero Suit

By thehealingplacepodcast | March 28, 2025

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
her wisdom on how fascia is our superhero suit
an explanation of biotensegrity
the gift of touch as a love language
and so much more!

Bio:

Anna Rahe

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.

Kelly Smith – Yoga for You Online, Guided Meditations and Debunking Meditation Myths

By thehealingplacepodcast | February 28, 2025

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:

Kelly’s yoga and meditation online offerings
her insights on debunking meditation myths
what she means by non-judgmental observation
a discussion on themed guided meditations
loving kindness meditations
and so much more!

Bio:

Kelly Smith

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.

Edy Nathan – Remember Peacefully: A Conversation on Grief and Daring to Live

By thehealingplacepodcast | January 31, 2025

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
what she means by “remember peacefully”
a conversation on daring to live
and so much more!

Bio:

**Edy Nathan**

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.
