EP:22 From Competitive Athlete to Intuitive Healer; Guest Courtney Rudin

In this episode of The Hypnotic Empath, host Robyn Holm, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, interviews Courtney Rudin   Courtney is the founder of Holding Space Co., a holistic brand where intuition meets embodiment. She blends bodywork, energy healing, and spirit readings to help others reconnect with their truth in both life and business. With a background in Kinesiology and Health Science, she bridges science and spirituality to release what the body holds and guide others back to their truth.    Robyn and Courtney explore Courtney's journey from being a competitive athlete to dealing with chronic illnesses, which traditional doctors couldn't fully explain or treat. Courtney shares how a naturopath and various healing practices, including Reiki, helped her find relief and discover her passion for holistic healing. She eventually opened her own practice, Holding Space Co., where she integrates multiple healing modalities like cupping, massage therapy, and energy work to support her clients. Courtney also talks about her recent focus on intuitive spirit readings, emphasizing the importance of listening to the body and blending physical and energetic healing. The episode underscores the significance of community, self-care, and trusting one's intuition in the journey of personal and professional growth.   Contact Courtney at: IG: holding.spaceco Linktr: https://linktr.ee/courtneyrudin?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio   The Holding Space Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Z9EDYKe1bUhr9HWR1YDV7?si=045a63995d0e4325   Robyn as a guest on Courtney’s podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1murWhy2aA5KGMyfVKYlAf?si=af88c8d7e84b47ef   Contact Robyn: TikTok @Robyn Holm Hypnotherapy YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: robynholmhypnotherapy   Work with Robyn 1:1 or in a group by going to okhypnotherapy.com   Robyn’s Thriving Body Membership (Weight Loss) includes Zoom call on 2nd Wednesday of every month, 6pm PT, class and Group Hypnosis recording, plus access to all previous Weight Loss classes in the member portal. -$59/month, cancel anytime   Free Human Design Calculator: https://www.mindycrawford.ca/   ____________ 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome   00:36 Courtney's Healing Journey   03:53 Discovering Reiki and Energy Work   05:16 Building a Holistic Practice   07:41 Human Design and Personal Growth   09:03 Listening to Your Body's Signals   19:08 Managing Control and Self-Care   23:40 Recognizing Empathic Abilities   25:09 Embracing Empathy and Emotional Awareness   25:52 The Role of Empaths in Ensuring Safety   26:52 Personal Stories of Empathic Responsibility   27:44 Experiencing Mediumship and Emotional Overwhelm   31:02 The Importance of Self-Care for Empaths   33:05 Finding Purpose and Offering Intuitive Readings   36:29 The Journey of Healing and Empowerment   40:44 The Power of Intuitive Healing Sessions   44:53 Blending Physical and Energetic Healing   51:26 Exploring Spiritual Intuitive Readings   52:50 Conclusion and Ways to Connect
