Healing trauma and the path back to your soul - with Nicola Unite

In this deeply healing and heartfelt conversation, host, Mel Histon, sits down Nicola Unite—a psychotherapist, breathwork facilitator, and founder of The Unite Space—to explore the impact that trauma has in people's lives, how our bodies hold the traumatic stories of our past, and the healing pathways to a calm, peaceful and soulful life. Together they dive into how trauma is stored in the body, how conscious connected breathwork can rewire the nervous system, and why somatic therapy helps us finally release the pain we’ve been holding on to for years. Nicola shares profound insights about the relationship between healing, embodiment, and spiritual growth, and how reconnecting to the body and the breath can open the door to peace, wholeness, and a felt sense of love. Mel and Nicola also share personal experiences of healing, anxiety, and release—reminding us that we don’t have to carry our pain forever, and that every moment of breath can be a return home to the soul.
