The Wholesome Wave Podcast

What if your pain isn’t something to fix — but a story waiting to be heard? If you’re living with chronic pain or recurring injuries, have you ever considered the emotional connection? In this episode, physiotherapist Patrycja Maryszczak and I challenge the way we’ve been taught to understand pain. We explore how tension, fascia, and posture aren’t just physical — they’re shaped by your nervous system, your emotions, and the life you’ve lived. We dive into why healing isn’t always about doing more physical rehab, but about understanding the relational, emotional, and deeply human aspects of what your body is holding. If you’ve ever felt stuck in recurring pain, tightness, or patterns that don’t quite make sense, this conversation will help you see your body in a whole new way.

What if your body isn’t malfunctioning — but communicating? How would your relationship with your symptoms change if you could understand them? In this episode, I’m joined by Linda Garvin to explore the powerful topic of Emotional Anatomy - the language of the body and the way our soul speaks to us through physical sensations and symptoms to show us where we are out of alignment. Linda’s journey into this work is a beautiful bridge between science and energetics. Together, we explore how to interpret the body’s messages; uncovering what different areas may be communicating, and why symptoms are invitations rather than obstacles. We talk about the metaphors we use every day and how they reveal the deep connection between emotion and physiology. This conversation is an invitation to shift from trying to fix or silence your symptoms… to listening and interpreting. Because the body speaks long before the mind is ready to understand.

What happens when we stop living only in our heads and begin listening to the wisdom held within our bodies and inner child? In this episode, the deeply intuitive Dawn Grace Kelly—spiritual healer, regressionist, teacher, mentor, and guide—joins me for a heartfelt conversation about inner child healing and regression work. We explore how disconnection from our inner child can lead to disconnection from our intuition, our bodies, and ultimately ourselves. We talk about why distraction and overthinking are protective responses, how unprocessed emotions live in the body, and why inner child regression can access layers of healing that talking alone often can’t reach. This conversation gently opens the door to the world of inner child regression, intuition, and embodied healing. It’s an invitation to come home to yourself, reclaim your inner wisdom, and remember the light that has always been within you.

What if the breakthrough you’ve been searching for in parenting lies not in a new strategy, but in your own emotional healing? In this powerful episode, I chat with Renee, a mum with ADHD whose parenting two neurodivergent boys, to explore her courageous journey of emotional healing through Emotional Release Coaching. Like so many parents, Renee was doing everything right on the outside to support herself and her children—diet changes, lifestyle shifts, counselling, supplements—yet she still felt overwhelmed, dysregulated, in physical pain and stuck in cycles she couldn’t quite understand. Emotional Release work was the missing puzzle piece through which Renee began uncovering the deeper layers beneath her stress: the unprocessed childhood experiences, unmet needs, and survival patterns that were shaping her health and reactions today. As she began to process her past, give herself compassion, and heal emotional wounds, she also shifted the energy of the whole family dynamic. Renee’s story is honest, relatable, and deeply inspiring. If you’re a parent navigating overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, ADHD or neurodivergent family life — or if you’ve ever wondered whether your past could be impacting your present — this episode will give you hope, clarity, and a sense of what’s truly possible when we begin the inner work. Healing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about taking steps and embracing the journey that unfolds. Interested in understanding more about Emotional Release Coaching?

What if your pain wasn’t something to push away or fix — but carried a message to be understood? When we think about improving our health, we often focus on diet, exercise, or sleep. But have you ever thought about releasing the emotions you’re holding onto? In this powerful conversation with Jin Ong — osteopath, Western medical acupuncturist, herbalist, and founder of The Art of Listening to Your Body and The Release Process — we explore the healing that comes from processing undigested life experiences and releasing stored emotions. Emotional Release is one of the key modalities I use with my clients, and this conversation shows exactly why. When we allow ourselves to feel what we’ve been avoiding—often unconsciously—we open the door to deep healing and greater connection with ourselves and those around us. Jin shares personal stories that reveal the power of emotional release and how unresolved emotions shape our health, relationships, and even our children. If you’ve ever felt there’s more to your struggles beyond just the physical aspect, this episode will open your heart to what’s possible through Emotional Release.
