Two Row Medicine

Karenna'onwe participated in an episode of The Gifts of Trauma Podcast.What becomes possible when a wounded healer acknowledges their wound? To address this question, this episode brings together three diverse medical professionals whose practices and traditions span Indigenous, osteopathic and allopathic realms. As they move from consulting room to ceremony, from the body's symptoms to the soul's message, from protocol to empathic presence, each reflects on the wounding that brought them into medicine, and the inner work that transformed how they practice it.Learn more about the episode.The Gifts of Trauma Podcast is hosted by Kevin Young and Rosemary Davies-Janes. Produced by J’aime Rothbard. A Compassionate Inquiry® Production⁠.
