Supporting Interpreters: A Deaf Herbalist's Perspective

This week, I’m honored to welcome Michelle Mansfield-Hom, a Deaf clinical herbalist 🌿✨, for a conversation that dives deep into the world of herbal healing, interpreting, and the Deaf experience.We explore how tinctures, teas, and flower essences can help interpreters stay grounded and resilient, even in the face of stress, anxiety, and vicarious trauma. Michelle shares insights on the importance of nervous system regulation, the challenges of releasing our work at the end of the day, and how our overall health impacts our ability to interpret effectively.We also have a candid discussion about Michelle’s experiences as a Deaf consumer of interpreting services. From boundaries and trust to navigating technical settings like herbalism school, Michelle offers a perspective that every interpreter needs to tune in for.Michelle’s Info:- Bouquet of Basil Herbals: https://www.bouquetofbasilherbals.com/- Instagram: Bouquetofbasil.herbalsCEU's for this episode: https://www.parkinglotdebrief.com/ceus/p/michellemhCEU’s available: https://www.parkinglotdebrief.comContact: [email protected]
