9. Healing Chronic Disease & Trauma Through Breathwork with Tess Rouse

What does it mean when people quote Bessel van der Kolk and say "the body keeps the score"? In this episode I sit down with guest Tess Rouse to delve into the transformative power of breathwork and the mind-body connection. Tess shares her personal journey from battling autoimmune diseases for nearly two decades to discovering breathwork. Through the breath she realized that the diseases that she'd been told were incurable were rooted in unprocessed chidhood trauma, and her willingness to breath through her emotions became her pathway to healing.We explore how the breath can support people to awaken within their own lives by processing unfelt emotional baggage from the past, and widening people's capacity for presence, leadership, and authenticity. If you have been seeking out practical somatic tools for nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and mind-body healing - this conversation is for you.
