Season 2 Episode 5: Pauline Romao, Bodhi Holistic Hub – Redefining Trust in Holistic Healing

Are you skeptical about holistic care? In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, Teisha sits down with Pauline Romao, founder of Bodhi Holistic Hub, to unpack what holistic healing really involves — and why it’s often misunderstood.  Pauline shares how skin and digestive issues led her to explore natural therapies that finally got to the root of what was going on. Drawing from her studies in Hygienism and Iridology, time with Indigenous communities, and her tech background, she explains why access and trust are still missing in holistic care — and how she’s working to change that.  If you’ve ever wondered whether holistic health has a place alongside conventional care, this episode offers a thoughtful, practical entry point.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Symptoms aren’t always problems — they might be your body’s way of healing. We’ve lost everyday health wisdom — but we can relearn it. Trust matters in holistic care — and it's still missing in many spaces. You don’t have to choose between medical and holistic healing. Healing starts when you stay curious, not when you have all the answers.  SHOW RESOURCES Explore Bodhi Holistic Hub: https://www.bodhiholistichub.com/Take the Practitioner Matching Quiz:  bodhiholistichub.com/quizFollow Pauline on Instagram: @bodhiholistichub  ABOUT THE GUEST Pauline Romao is the founder of Bodhi Holistic Hub — a platform connecting people with verified holistic health practitioners across 70+ specialties.
