Meet Your Podcast Hosts!

About Tonya Greetings Friends, I'm Tonya, the founder of Sensitivity Rising, host of the Highly Sensitive Healing Podcast and a Certified Professional Holistic Wellness Guide. As an HSP, I understand firsthand the challenges of navigating life in our modern world while embracing our sensitivity. For a long time, I struggled to find a balance between seeing my trait as a burden or a gift. Through my personal journey, I've come to realize that a healthy mind, body, spirit, and relationships all stem from finding that balance between the two. As an HSP, seeking balance is a daily action that we must constantly work towards. However, by having the right tools to work towards balance in ways that work best for us, the work becomes a joy and not a burden. I've found that embracing yoga, holistic living, and the healing introspection of self-discovery have significantly improved my self-worth, relationships, and perspective of the world. I believe that living as a sensitive person does not have to be painful or isolating. Instead, we must learn how to nurture ourselves in ways that are unique to us. I'm excited to being this new journey of self-discovery, as we explore what wellness means to us as highly sensitive individuals. Let's embrace our sensitivity, find our balance, and live our best highly sensitive lives! About Daphnie Hello friends, I'm Daphne Leigh, aka Yogi Ranger. I am the founder of the freedom from anxiety program and the Highly Sensitive and Strong Facebook community. I've been teaching yoga mindfulness and meditation since 1995. And I'm also a clinical health coach, and an Ayurvedic lifestyle coach who specializes in helping highly sensitive people reduce stress and anxiety, so they can have the energy and focus to do the things that are most important to them in life. After being hospitalized for panic and anxiety disorder as a teenager, I became intensely curious about why I had anxiety in the first place, and how I could learn to worry less and be more present and connected with my family and friends. I also wanted to learn to be healthier, while experiencing more peace and calm in my body and mind. Through my studies, I discovered I was a highly sensitive person. And once I learned to care for my sensitive nervous system, I became passionate about helping other highly sensitive people do the same. I believe that highly sensitive people are some of the strongest people I know. We all have important gifts to share with the world. And life is too precious to waste our time being stuck in cycles of overwhelm that can be avoided. Once we know how to care for our own unique selves.
