41 - Why Therapy is More than Talking with Nuraan Felix.

Hello Humans! Welcome to the 41st Show housed in “The Human Theatre”.  You have heard me speak about the pillars of health many times. These include things like sleep, nutrition, movement, having a purpose, community, creativity, mindset etc. Having pillars or tenants of health help us view life through a holistic lens, because, well, there are so many factors at play all the time when it comes to anything relating to our physical and emotional health, and today’s guest is someone doing AMAZING work by practicing therapy through a holistic lens.  Nuraan Felix is a trauma-focused psychotherapist and has extensive experience working with early childhood trauma, addiction and PTSD. She completed her Psychology degree at the University of Cape Town,South Africa and has Post Graduate certification in EMDR, CBT and Integrative Psychology. Nuraan follows an holistic approach to recovery and is a RYT 200hr Certified Yoga Teacher and Meditation Instructor. Working as a psychotherapist she started noticing patterns and could see clearly that the most effective tools for helping clients was an integrated approach. Trying to heal only from the level of the mind simply didn’t work. This motivated her to focus on a therapeutic approach that combines the strengths of western psychotherapy with alternative healing tools. This is how Somatic Therapy.Co was born. For the past few years Nuraan has been based in Asia. She’s worked at various treatment centres including The Cabin and The Dawn. Nuraan is part of the Daughters Rising team, a women’s empowerment anti sex-trafficking organisation. These days she commits most of her free time to organising online trainings and healing retreats. I hope you enjoy the show!  SHOW LINKS:  10% DISCOUNT CODE for OXFORDHEALTHSPAN: https://oxfordhealthspan.com/discount/KELSEY Nutrition Network Affiliate code: https://courses.nutrition-network.org/?affcode=173323_21c0sxer  Nuraan Felix: https://somatictherapy.co/ , @somatictherapy.co (Instagram).
