Betsy and I were connected through Kiley Hanish, whom you might remember from our recent "Grieving Parents: A Decade Later" series. When Kiley introduced us, she mentioned that Betsy and I share a passion for supporting those navigating grief and trauma and a deep appreciation for somatic approaches to healing. "You two speak the same language," Kiley said, and she couldn’t have been more right.Betsy’s work dives into the body’s innate wisdom and ability to guide us through some of life’s most challenging moments. Our conversation promises to explore themes of resilience, connection, and the transformative power of listening to the body. If you’re curious about how somatic practices can support healing after loss or trauma, you’ll want to lean in for this one. About this week’s guestBetsy Winter is an experienced mind-body coach and somatic practitioner known for her effective methods in helping individuals transform profound loss and unresolved trauma into deep healing and embodied change. She believes in understanding individuals rather than pathologizing them, viewing each person as the expert of their own experiences. Her client-centred approach is aimed at those seeking self-discovery, deep healing, and sustainable change. Betsy is also a key contributor to the pregnancy and infant loss community, significantly involved in the creation and growth of RTZ HOPE's support groups, retreats, and provider resources. Her work is deeply influenced by the brief life of her daughter, Eliza, who was diagnosed with a severe heart defect and trisomy 18 at 31 weeks and stillborn at 41 weeks, and by her own journey of uncovering and healing from layers of unresolved complex trauma from early childhood neglect and abuse.Website: betsywinter.com/IG: @betsywinter.mbcFB: www.facebook.com/betsywinter23Support the show💡 If today’s episode touched you, please share it with someone who might need it. 🤝 Become a supporter of the show!
