In this deeply embodied conversation, Lauren Zoeller sits down with trauma-informed somatic practitioner and energetic alchemist Amanda O’Mara to explore how stored trauma, energetic tension, and subtle body cues hold the key to our patterns in love, healing, and wholeness. Amanda breaks down the power of spinal energetics and explains how it helps clients access deep healing beyond words, by unwinding stuck stories at the level of sensation.Together, they unpack the difference between top-down and bottom-up healing, why you can’t think your way out of trauma, and how energetic release is the missing piece for so many women seeking connection, safety, and true embodiment.Whether you’re a practitioner, a woman on a healing journey, or someone who feels like they’ve “done the work” but still feel stuck, this episode will shift how you view the body, trauma, and what it means to be fully alive.Key Points From This Episode:Amanda’s journey from structural bodywork to trauma-informed energetic healingWhat spinal energetics actually is and how it helps clients reconnect to their bodiesHow unresolved trauma patterns show up physically—and how to listen to your body’s whispersThe collaborative dance between practitioner and client in unwinding tensionWhy bypassing the body leads to burnout, dysregulation, and shallow transformationHow trauma-informed energetic work can help women soften, open, and feel againThe importance of embodiment for healthy relationships and true self-trustQuotes:“Your body is so intelligent.
