Spirit of an Athlete Podcast
If you're a female athlete, parent of a female athlete, or one of the behind the scenes practitioners for female athletes, Spirit of an Athlete Podcast is for you.
I'll share inspiring stories of female athletes that have experienced an injury or illness in their athletic career that took them out of the game either for a short period of time or entirely. I also interview the practitioners that help these athletes get and stay healthy. The practitioners are sharing how they do their work while I or some of my own clients are their examples.
In these less than 30 min podcasts, my hope is to inspire as well as demonstrate alternative ways to help your athlete through an injury, illness, or game changing decision.
Let's get her back in her game and back to her passion!

Welcome back to spirit of an athlete. Episode 46 ah ah. On this episode, I am giving you a behind the scenes peek at what body Whisper healing is. And oh, by the way, it's New Year's. Happy New year! Welcome to 2025. Welcome to the year of transmutation. According to my Apache mama Maria. Your aspera transmutation is all around us. Honestly, we are going into a new presidency soon. We are hearing all sorts of big changes coming with this presidency here in the United States. And the rest of the world is watching. Transmutation. Yeah, things are about to get different. And if you didn't get an opportunity to watch the episode from the end of 2024, where I gave you the best of spirit of an athlete, as well as a peek into what's happening in 2025. Well, part of my transmutation in body whisper healing and spirit of an athlete is that you're going to get to hear more solo shows from me like this one. Every other week I will be doing a solo episode and then the other every other weeks. How better way to say that those will be with my guests. You'll see some people who were on spirit of an athlete in 2024, come back and you're going to get to meet some new guests who are going to help you level up. So let's talk about body whispering and body whisper healing. What I've been coined by some of my clients is that I am the walking MRI. What that means for you is that I'm not just taking a snapshot in time, like an X-ray or a blood test. I'm actually monitoring your entire system and how you respond to different stimuli. That stimuli might be that I give you an assignment and you go and do some movement practice, and that gives me some information about what's going on in you and in you is body, mind, Spirit, emotions. Those four sheaths are where I hang out. So it's not just like I get to see, oh, this is the chemistry of the blood in your body and how it's moving and all of that. I get to see where the emotions in you shift, how the blood moves in your body. I get to see how a certain stimulus for your brain might shift, how your blood flows in your body, or more oxygen gets taken in, in your blood. Or we see blood pressure shifts or sugar spikes in your blood, but it goes well beyond blood. I get to watch all of the things. So the walking MRI and then one of the things that I do is called a distance body clearing. In this distance body clearing I go into a shamanic drum journey and I take a peek into what's going for going on for you currently, as well as into your past. And then if we shift things, clear things, move things out of the way. How does that affect your future? This distance body clearing for most of my clients has been one of the most profound things that they receive, because they'll hear me tell them after I've journeyed, I'll give them a video or excuse me, a voice recording, and they'll go listen to it, usually several times. And as they're listening to it, it becomes this chicken and the egg. Interesting conversation. Am I reprogramming their brain while they're listening to what I'm saying? Or are they taking in what I'm saying and going that tracks that tracks I want that, I'll take that. It's a little bit of both. And that's where the whispering comes in. When it comes to your body, you are probably hearing the screams. If you have some chronic health condition that is mysterious. And that's the piece of the puzzle, that mysterious piece of the puzzle that I work on the most when it's a mystery to you. The goal is to unearth it, show it to you, and help you better understand why it's showing up. Get to the root of why it's there, and then work with you on integrating new ways of existing. My job as a coach is to not only help you better treat yourself, feed yourself, make sure you're getting the right amount of sleep for your body. You're going to sleep at the right times for your body, understanding when workout should be happening and how much workout and moving with the cycles of life. That's what I help my clients do. And they usually see huge shifts, especially if they've made it into the third and fourth phase of the work that I do. The first phase is gathering all of the data. The second phase is getting to the root cause and then tracking how I help you through that root cause. Tracking what supplements are working, what food is working, what movements are working, and so on. And then we move into body rebalancing. Once we've got to the root cause, and we have conquered the root cause and we have conquered it on all four levels, then we move into. Body rebalancing. And this is where people usually see the bigger shifts, and they start to really sink into the fact that they want to know how to get in touch with their spirituality. That's always my indicator of when somebody has gotten to the point where what we've been working on has worked, and they're ready for that next level. They want to know how to get in touch with their spirit team. They want to know how to have a deeper relationship, how to pray even. And I help them understand that as well, especially in the body rebalancing. And then the fourth phase is new body vision. In the new body vision, we are giving you a new vision, helping you see how to care for this body on the next level. And of course, we're still delving into building a spiritual practice that makes sense for you. And that's body whisper healing. That is what I do in this practice. I work with people individually. I work with people in groups, I work with people on retreat. And every time we come together, they enjoy what we're doing. Have you ever gone to a doctor's appointment and just not enjoyed it? Yeah. That's not what this is about. The goal is that we have a good time. The goal is that we actually help move the needle in your life, get you back to full. Move the needle. And for me, I get to grow and learn from every single one of my clients. Also, every single one of the guests that are on spirit of an athlete. If you're being called to work with me because you've got some screaming happening and the whispers are too quiet for you to be able to pay attention to reach out, you can find me at Body Whisper Healing Comm.
