EP 45: The Joy Revival Series: Somatic Healing and Returning to Your Body with Amy Shine

What if joy isn't something you find outside of yourself, but something you unlock from within? In this episode, we sit down with Amy Shine, somatic healing practitioner and movement coach, for a fascinating conversation about how the body holds the key to healing, why so many women are living in "functional freeze" without even knowing it, and how intentional movement can create the kind of ecstatic joy most of us have been searching for everywhere else.Amy shares her own remarkable journey, from a dark mental health crisis at 21, to dancing alone on a golf course in Ireland, to discovering five rhythms movement and experiencing a level of joy she'd only previously known from drugs. Now she helps women come back to their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and access the aliveness that's been there all along.What's here will shift the way you think about your body, your stress, and what healing actually looks like. There was simply too much to cover in an hour, so I hope to have Amy back for another episode. Amy Shine is a Somatic Educator and Nervous System Coach who helps women come home to their bodies through sound, breath, touch, movement, and Somatic Inquiry.She specializes in feminine embodiment, trauma-informed somatic practices, and nervous system regulation, bridging the physical and spiritual worlds through earth-based wisdom and spirit connection.She offers in-person and online private somatic sessions.
