Send us a text

It’s easy to dismiss energy healing as an esoteric practice, but the truth is that skilled practitioners have helped thousands of individuals lead happier, healthier, and more purpose-driven lives. In today’s episode, we get together with Laura Forbes, an energetic healer, and coach, who has spent the bulk of her career working with the human body through various practices. She first studied massage therapy in Boulder, Colorado at the start of her career in the early 90s. Then later, she transitioned to becoming an energy practitioner after taking the famous Body Talks course by John Veltheim. Tuning in you’ll hear our host Dr. Wilma share how she met Laura and how her first session with Laura transformed her life. Laura explains why it’s so important for energy practitioners to let go of their attachment to outcomes and how that ethos has translated to her own life. Later, Laura shares how she became a relationship and communication coach and why she has chosen to focus on the interconnection between language, emotion, and how we interpret our lives. We reflect on the unique mental health challenges inherent to being a woman of color and how a stigma around mental health prohibits them from seeking help. We loved having Laura on the show and we’re sure you will find the conversation as thought-provoking and informative as we did. Tune in today for all this and much more!
