Dr. Njideka Olatunde is the visionary and creative energy behind Focus On Healing Wellness Institute, Pain Relief Educator, Advocate and Ambassador for pain caregivers and people with chronic pain.
In this episode:
- Njideka shares how her journey into pain relief started with the opioid crisis, inspiring her to explore natural healing through touch.
- She explains how touch activates the body's natural pain relievers—like when you instinctively grab your elbow after hitting it.
- Njideka talks about the deep connection between stress and pain, explaining how unaddressed stress can manifest as chronic pain.
- She reveals why she listens closely to clients first—pain is often just the symptom, but stress is the real culprit.
- Njideka introduces "touchology," a hands-on approach to healing that includes reflexology, breathwork, acupuncture, and more.
- She compares body care to car maintenance—your body needs regular physical and mental checkups to stay strong and pain-free.
- Njideka shares a simple self-care tip: massage the palm of your hand with your thumb while deep breathing to relax and relieve stress instantly.
