Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the Heel Thrived Dream Podcast, where trauma survivors
become healthy thrivers. Each month will feature a theme in
the trauma recovery and empowerment field to promote your recovery,
healing and learning how to build dreams. Here's your host,
Karen Robinson, transformational coach and therapist.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Welcome to the Heel Thrived Dream Podcast. Today, my guest
is Kim Tanizzo. Kim is the owner of Source Harmonic
Egg of Northern Virginia, drawn to holistic healing and energy
work for over twenty years. Her journey began when her
(00:45):
children were born, prompting her to seek alternatives to traditional
Western medicine. In November twenty twenty three, Kim became a
certified Harmonic Age Guardian after extensive reading and training. I
love the word guardian. Through this process, Kim discovered how
(01:13):
long her nervous system has been dysregulated. Operating in a
constant sympathetic state, Kim remains passionate about learning and teaching
others the vital connection between energy, emotional processing and nervous
system regulation for overall health and well being. Thank you
(01:37):
Kim for being a guest on my show. Today. Thank
you for having me, Karen. It's a pleasure. So I
want to share with the audience really quickly that Kim
invited me to experience her harmonic agg yesterday and I
went in it with an open mind, but I'm always
a skeptic and I had a very lovely healing experience.
(02:02):
So I wanted to share that and thank you again
Kim for having me. Thank you, thank you for coming.
I know, being skeptical is okay. I was skeptical at first.
I thought, how in the world can something so simple
be so healing?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And I had to I learned.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I've just learned so much at how simplicity is really
where we all need to be, and the more we
can put ourselves in that environment, the better off we are.
So yeah, it's been great and I'm so glad you
enjoyed it. I really did, and I'm happy. I'm going
to actually write about it when I write the show
(02:45):
notes for this podcast. I'm going to write more about
my experience. And I know it was important to you
for me to experience it myself before you came on
the podcast today. Can you say a little more about
why that was important to you that I experience it well,
because just tearing about it and looking at the egg itself,
(03:08):
like you said, there is that skeptical side, and I
really feel like you have to experience it to really
understand what it's doing to your body and your mind
and your spirit. So I wanted us to be able
to have a full conversation about what your experience was
like and how you felt afterwards, so that you could
(03:32):
help other people to understand as a new person going
into the egg and what your experience was all about.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I felt like it was a good place to start.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, your intuition on that was so good because now
like people can probably tell, like those of you who
watched this on YouTube, like, I feel so good. It's
like the first day after and I had a couple
really challenging calls this morning already, and I still feel
really good. I'm like, huh, this is amazing. I need
to make this a part of my life, so cam
(04:04):
when I re invite people on my show. Most of
my clients are healers, not my clients my podcast guest.
Most of them are healers, some of them are survivors,
many are both. And I believe you share pretty publicly
that you're also a survivor. Is there any part of
(04:24):
your story that you're comfortable in sharing today because that
just helps my audience connect with you. Yeah. So I've
just always I was in a family of four kids.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I was a middle child.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Life was always very stressful in my home growing up.
I don't want to go into it too much, but
at a very young age, I know now, I didn't
know for the longest time that I became very dysregulated.
I was in fear a lot as a young person.
That's when you're suppose to feel safe, and that's where
(05:02):
you really grow your roots. So when you don't feel safe,
you go into dysregulation, you go into a sympathetic state,
and that's what you feel is normal, and you stay
there because that's what saved you and kept you feeling safe.
So looking back, I feel like that started for me
(05:23):
probably around ten years old and probably have been in
there most of my life until probably the past two
years when I really really started learning about the nervous
system and how I was operating my life. So yeah,
(05:45):
that's pretty much it in a nutshell, without going into
too much detail. Yeah, and I always tell my guests,
this isn't The Doctor Phil's show. So I never want
people to talk about something they're not ready to talk
about or I mean different reasons, right, and what they
share and how much they share. So thank you for
(06:05):
having a boundary for yourself, and as I ask you questions,
feel free to enforce that because another question I tend
to ask people is you know you can talk about
it about yourself and also clinically, when we're justsregulated, that
can those symptoms can look different for different people. So
if you feel comfortable and maybe share some of the
(06:27):
symptoms you've had as you were growing up, like when
your body's dysregulated, what did that look like? And then
maybe share because I know you're a student too and
have studied feeling what other people symptoms could be. Do
you feel comfortable with that? Sure? So from my own experience,
I was very anxious, a lot of anxiety and depression.
(06:51):
This kind of I feel like go hand in hand
because when you're anxious all the time, you have so
much cortisol running through your body or dream get run
down and then next thing you know, you collapse and
you're depressed. And why can't I keep going that cycle?
I feel like that was a majority of my symptoms, and.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Then you try to self medicate.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You try to find something that's going to help you
to feel better temporarily, whether it be alcohol or any
sort of substance, anything, even just filling your days with stuff,
filling your life with being busy so you don't have
to actually sit and feel those uncomfortable feelings. So I
(07:33):
feel like that's how I handled it. I stayed busy,
I stayed out of my home a lot when I
was growing up. I didn't I didn't want to have
to feel the feelings that were going on there. So
I just filled my days and I never stopped.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Until recently.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I mean, I'm still pretty busy now, but it comes
from a different place. It comes from more heart centered place,
more of a healthy place versus fear driven. So yeah,
that was my experience in how I handled my dysregulation
is just constantly feeling anxious, and I had trouble sleeping
(08:13):
and having trouble with food and eating too much, not
eating enough, anorexia, all those things I went through. Self
harm something that comes up when you're young and you
are very dysregulated. You just want to know the pain,
You just want things to disappear. Yeah, thank you, thank
you for sharing. I know talking about some of that's
(08:35):
not easy. And then are there symptoms that your clients
you've helped that any other symptoms that they've experienced that
you haven't felt yourself necessarily. Let's see, I personally haven't
suffered a lot of physical symptoms, meaning body pains, illness.
(08:57):
A lot of times when you're in a sympathetic state
and you're emotionally dysregulated, those emotions can cause illness in
your body, autoimmune disease, all sorts of disease just because
your immune system doesn't function right. So in that regard,
I've been fortunate that I haven't been diagnosed with any conditions.
(09:17):
And a lot of my clients, you know that it
does eventually manifest in some sort of diagnosis. So that's
that's what I see. I see people come in with
a diagnosis with no reason or no understanding behind it,
and where did this come from? And usually it cuts
stems from some emotional past, something traumatic that set them
(09:41):
into a tailspin, shut down the immune system, and so on. Yeah,
I see a lot of that as well. And it
took me a long time, even as a therapist, to
make the connection. It's not common knowledge that I mean,
if we think about it, logically makes sense that trauma
can make us, but when it actually happens and shows
(10:03):
up in weird, funky ways like I number one time,
I was sitting, I thought I was calm, and my
toes started to curl up, and I started to panic, thinking,
what in God's green earth is happening? And I could
be disabled and I could be able to walk again,
and my brain is flipping out, And I was like,
(10:27):
it could just be like a stress reaction. Just try
to ground yourself and breathe and see what happens, and
try enough. They started to uncurl and it happened a
couple more times, and then it went away. And then
it would be a different part of my body that
would have that automatic response, that nervous system just regulation response.
(10:48):
It would be my legs would be cramping. So throughout
my life I've had these weird, funky symptoms sometimes. But
the cool thing is about it, not that it's a
weird way to put it, but it's it's strength that
I can see that happening to the clients now because
I can talk them through it and teach them and
tell them about different healing techniques, and now I get
(11:08):
to tell them about the ape. Yeah, tell us a
story on how you fell into energy healing and the
agge specifically. Like I said in my bio, I started
I wanted to learn more about health and wellness and
how to be healthy. Once I had my kids, I
(11:30):
really didn't want them to go through the same things
I went through. However, they are on their own paths
and I can't protect them from everything, but my focus
was to try to give them the tools to be
able to manage it. That being said, I just started
learning more about when I would take them to the doctor,
(11:52):
i'd take them for business. I was always just so
disappointed in recommendations. There was never any real reasoning behind
my questions, and I didn't really get real answers. I
started reading like, I don't know if you've heard of
Eckhart totally, Oh yeah, I'm going to see him. He's
coming to DC.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Really, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
He was, But that was probably my That and then
learning about the law of attraction, and then starting to
understand that we're energetic beings and that we are a
force of energy and every cell of our body contains
energy and every thought we have as an energetic sending
energy out. So that just kind of started opening my
eyes to things and I was like, why don't we
(12:36):
know this, Why haven't we been taught this? It feels
so essential. So I started them on that path. And
then several years ago, a friend of mine who was
a nurse and was kind of unhappy with her career choice,
decided to open an egg and I saw what she
was doing. I saw her posts on Facebook and I
(12:58):
was like, what is that? That is crazy? And she
was telling me about it, and I was like, I
need to know more about it. So I started googling
it and I found an egg in Virginia Beach that
was the closest one. So I said, well, I got
to try it, because the skeptical in me was like, yeah,
(13:18):
it's not going to do anything. I'm just going to
be disappointed. This is going to be another disappointment. So
I went and I tried it with like zero expectations
of anything. And when I got in the egg and
I was in my session, I was just kind of like,
fifteen minutes is a long time for me to sit still,
first of all, and.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It went by so fast.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I was like, whoa, where did my I was awake,
but it went by so fast and my body was twitching.
There was twitching happening, and afterwards I was a little
out of it and I thought.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I don't even really know what I experienced. I then
just started.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Getting all the books and I said, I want to
know more about this. I need to understand quantum physics.
I need to understand how lights and sound and the resonance,
how that affects our bodies. But the truth of it is,
there's energies around us all the time. They're just mostly
bad energies like Wi Fi and radiation and all these
things that were exposed to on a regular basis. But
(14:22):
energy is in the essence of who we are, every
cell of our body. So it all just started to
make sense to me. So, yeah, I don't know if
that explains to your question.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I feel like I got on a hand.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
No. No, you did a great job. You said something
really fascinating to me yesterday that I didn't know, and
that was really helpful for me. You talked about our
cells when we're in fight or flight or when we're
just regulating, just regulated, our cells don't absorb water. That
we need to help with kind of adding electrolytes to
(14:59):
a water. Can you say a little bit about that.
I thought that was fascinating. Yeah, So when we're in
a sympathetic state, I don't even and I'll just quickly
explain what this means. I know you already understand it.
But our nervous system is sympathetic and parasympathetic. Sympathetic is
the go fight, the fight or flight or freeze. A
lot of us get stuck in that cycle and we
(15:20):
don't remember what it feels like to be in a
pair of sympathetic state, which is our rest, digest and heal.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Okay, so when.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
We're in sympathetic, our immune system stops working, you know,
because that's something that can wait. Our digestion can wait,
fighting toxins and detoxing our body. That can all wait
while we're handling all the stress and the things that
we have to address, so all that can go on hold.
So when that happens, Yeah, our cells sort of become
(15:47):
more rigid. They create like a barrier, and they don't
absorb water and they don't excreete toxins. So this is why,
amongst the fact that we're under stress and I remember
doctor saying to me all the time, well you're just
stressed out, and I'm like yeah, as in everybody, But
no one really explained to me what that meant. And
(16:11):
they did say, just drink water, you know, try to relax,
and I'm like, okay, well I wish I had thought
of those things, but those.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Are great ideas I should do that.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
So I drank a lot of water, and I didn't
realize that I wasn't actually absorbing the water. I was
just paying it out because my cells weren't absorbing it.
In my training and learning how the nervous system works,
that's why when you do the egg, our bodies are
great facilitators of vibrations sound.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
If you tap on a fish tank.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's like the fish. I mean, it's it's very powerful.
So our bodies are mostly water.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
So when you're in the egg, you.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Want to be hydrated. But afterwards you really want to
hydrate because you're in a parasympathy that state and you're
really going to absorb that water and your body's going
to release things. We recommend electrolytes all the time. You
need some salt. It'll help to yourselves to absorb the water.
(17:13):
It's very simple and basic, but no one ever explains that.
At least I was never told these important, little, fun
little facts that could help me to be healthier. So, yeah,
so you have to drink a lot of water with
salt electrolytes. That was so awesome to here. I was like, Okay,
(17:35):
it just made sense to me. Yeah, great, And so yeah,
talk more about the healing benefits because the egg helps
us go into parasympathetic, which is the digest rast and yell,
like you said, tell us about the other benefits of it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So, I mean that's the biggest benefit.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And we use the light. Okay, so light. A lot
of people are into red light therapy. I mean, light
has been beneficial to our bodies for a long time,
at least they've been using light and healthcare they use light.
When my daughter was born and she was jaundice, they
had to use light on her to help her body
(18:18):
to excrete the billy ruben. So there's benefits to all
different light, and there's benefits to all different types of sound.
When your vibration is low, meaning you're in disease, your
bodies not in balance, your cells will vibrate at a
different frequency Okay, so they say your heart you have
(18:39):
a heart problem. Your heart frequency is usually about one
hundred parts a healthy heart. When it's not functioning rate,
then your frequency lowers. Makes sense in the sense that
your cells just start to vibrate slower because they're not
functioning properly. So what happens in EGG is that it
(19:01):
starts to elevate your your body starts to become entrained
with the frequency in the hang.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
But it's very gentle. It's not going to bombarde you.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It's a very gentle nudge to start.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
To match that vibration. That's why it's.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I really love it because it's not going to force
a healing that you're not ready for, but it's going
to gently nudge you in that direction. Afterwards, a lot
of clients will have all different types of experiences.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Some people will.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Have if there was some traumatic event that they've been
holding onto that maybe they don't even know about it anymore.
It'll become more clear to them as to why they
operate the way they operate, or why they're living in fear,
or why there's no they can't have peace. Oh well,
and it becomes clear. So clarity after the session has
(19:57):
been a big one for people muscle relife taxation I had.
I have people who come in with a lot of
physical pain and helping their muscles to relax just because
of the parasympathetic activity helps to relax the muscles and
therefore helps to relax pain if they're having any pain anywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
In particular.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You can also have talks and release, virus release, or bodies.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Hold on to those things.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I think, for example, cold source. I told you this yesterday.
I had a client who would get cold source and
that herpes virus. It stays in our system and is dormant,
so it can trigger a respond healing response in the
sense that virus is released into the body. Your immune
system then can start to get to work on it.
(20:47):
So sometimes you'll see it come to the surface, like
you'll get a cold sort and then your body fights
it off and then you'll notice you don't get them anymore,
or they're just a lot less frequent, and slowly, slowly
they become less and less.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So it's very.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Fascinating in how it works because it's not it's not
that the egg. The egg is just putting you in
the right environment that your body can make the right
chemistry that it hasn't been making for a while. So
does that answer your question? Absolutely? I remember yesterday saying
(21:24):
this to you too. It is like I really thought
the vibration would be more startling and it wasn't. It
was just very smooth and it felt like a lullaby
and I just gently swayed. I'm sweating like this, but
that's not what my body did. It was very I
don't know what the right word is. I'm struggling with
(21:45):
articulating it exactly, but I can say the effect on
me was it was super soothing. Do you have a
better way to describe the vibration ever, So it's the resonance.
So and I told you this, it's sort of like
if you were inside of a guitar. So it's it
travels through you, but it's not jolting you. We don't
(22:08):
want you. But it doesn't mean I understood when you
say that, like I was in a guitar, I was like,
I'm never I don't know what to say. I know
it's just a good visual, but it's just uh, yeah,
it's just going to gently cause your brain waves to
slow down, your heart rate to slow down, and the
(22:28):
cells to start to match the resonance through entrainment. So
because of the shape of the egg, the energy really
kind of encompasses you, and it's really light and sound
are really the only thing that can get into every
cell of your body. There is no pill, no supplement
you can take that's going to flood every cell of
(22:49):
your body. It just meets you where you're at and
gently nudges you. So yes, it's like and afterwards some
people feel a little shaky. Did you feel that or
you may not have, but some people do. Yeah, I
definitely felt a lot, like I got some chills doing it,
and I found a slight tremor. I wanted to ask
(23:10):
you to look. I know, I read on the website
there would be some skin benefits, and I felt like
my face was also more relaxed. I don't know, is
that something people talk to you about or something you
experienced in the egg? Can you say a little more
about skin or face? So it it creates more of
(23:30):
a like a faster cell turnover. Okay, So, like I said,
people use red light therapy for.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
That sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You know, it helps your dead cells to kind of
turnover faster, things to move faster. So when you increase
circulation in the body and you start increasing that vibration,
lower vibrational talks and things in the body start to
die off and your cells.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Then start to work properly.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So in that regard, yes, it's it's causing a turnover
in the skin cells as well all your cells. So yeah,
I mean there's benefits to all of the lights, not
like blue light does that too. It's really good for
your skin. Actually yellow it is really good for your
skin too. But everyone's on the red light kick because
(24:16):
it's it's great. It in increases circulation and it does
those things as well, but they're but yeah, so that's
that's how it works. It just creates a faster cell turnover.
I'm looking at the anti gravity chair now and and
the lights around it. It almost looks I think I
said this yesterday, it looks like you're going into a
(24:37):
sci fi movie. But also it looks really like heavenly.
It's like you're going to be beamed up in some way. Yeah.
I thought like, first of all, the egg was bigger
than what I envisioned, So I was like, okay, good,
there's not gonna be any and I'm not necessarily claustrophobic.
(24:58):
But I was worried about clients who and I guess
I want to ask how many people feel like there's
some sort of spiritual thing going on? And my other
question is how often just give the doors open a
little bit for people, because I know that's an option. Yeah,
some I haven't had to leave the doors open very often.
(25:18):
There was one and usually I start with the door
a little bit open and then they say I can
close it. It's spacious inside. It's like I say, it's
like being in a minivan. It's pretty open. You don't
really feel claustrophobic, and you could easily kick the door
open with your foot. You're not sealed in, so it's
very easy to open. And then there's the doorbell in
(25:38):
the pocket if you want to come out for any reason.
And yeah, people do tell me they have spiritual experiences.
I think it's a matter of your brain weighs really
slow down, and people go more to their heart center,
they pray, they feel more a sense of home, and
(26:01):
I've had clients say they've had feel like they've had.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Interactions with loved ones who have passed.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
And I just think it's just creating that space for
a deep meditation that you're able to connect.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
In that way is what seems to be the case.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, how beautiful that you're offering that to people, Like
I'm just how do you feel about having this egg
and offering it to people? Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I just love it.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I just love it, and I just want more and
more people to understand it and be exposed to it.
I mean, I'm just the facilitator. I'm just I listen
and then I set up the session based off of
what we're working on, and then you're doing it. I mean,
the person inside, it's them, it's the egg putting them
(26:56):
in that right environment for whatever supposed to happen for
them to happen. So I'm just happy that we have
it here. And that's the reason I opened my center
is because I was like, I need this closer. I
can't drive to Virginia Beach. I would have, and I
do have clients who do come from far to experience it,
(27:19):
but I just really wanted it closer to home because
that's something I knew I needed to do regularly and
it just really helps me.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I just wanted to help everybody.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
That's so beautiful. I know you're being extremely generous by
offering people to try it out, like first timers, to
kind of try it out. You are offering our podcast
listeners a special coupon if you were if you will
to kind experience it. Can I say a little bit
about that?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, So for anyone who hears the podcast, you can
use the coupon code thrive and it's forty five dollars
off a session. We're uh, there's packages, there's memberships, people
do all sorts of whatever resonates with you. But yeah,
(28:14):
at least I would at least come and try it
the first time and see how you feel about it
and then see where to go from there. It's a
very generous song for forty five dollars is a lot,
so that's very kind. And I also want to thank you.
Come endorsed or feeling a little bit nervous about speaking,
(28:36):
She's done an amazing job today. Could not tell a
second that you were nervous, and I know you did
meditation and calmed yourself. But also Kim has agreed to
be one of our speakers for our Finding Energy after
Trauma summit, So I want to just personally thank you
for that, and we're going to use this episode to
(28:58):
tell more people about the summit and tell more people
about the Egg, and hopefully people will come to the summit.
Here you speak more. We have to figure out a
way to make your talk extra juicy now that you've
shared a little bit here, and I just want to say,
I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Thank you, I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Thank you for what you do, you do so much,
and thank you for allowing me to come on and
talk beautiful.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Thank you for listening in today. Please join us next week,
same day and time. Also, I would love for you
to check out my website heel thrivedream dot com.
Welcome to the Heel Thrived Dream Podcast, where trauma survivors
become healthy thrivers. Each month will feature a theme in
the trauma recovery and empowerment field to promote your recovery,
healing and learning how to build dreams. Here's your host,
Karen Robinson, transformational coach and therapist.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Welcome to the Heel Thrived Dream Podcast. Today, my guest
is Kim Tanizzo. Kim is the owner of Source Harmonic
Egg of Northern Virginia, drawn to holistic healing and energy
work for over twenty years. Her journey began when her
(00:45):
children were born, prompting her to seek alternatives to traditional
Western medicine. In November twenty twenty three, Kim became a
certified Harmonic Age Guardian after extensive reading and training. I
love the word guardian. Through this process, Kim discovered how
(01:13):
long her nervous system has been dysregulated. Operating in a
constant sympathetic state, Kim remains passionate about learning and teaching
others the vital connection between energy, emotional processing and nervous
system regulation for overall health and well being. Thank you
(01:37):
Kim for being a guest on my show. Today. Thank
you for having me, Karen. It's a pleasure. So I
want to share with the audience really quickly that Kim
invited me to experience her harmonic agg yesterday and I
went in it with an open mind, but I'm always
a skeptic and I had a very lovely healing experience.
(02:02):
So I wanted to share that and thank you again
Kim for having me. Thank you, thank you for coming.
I know, being skeptical is okay. I was skeptical at first.
I thought, how in the world can something so simple
be so healing?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And I had to I learned.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I've just learned so much at how simplicity is really
where we all need to be, and the more we
can put ourselves in that environment, the better off we are.
So yeah, it's been great and I'm so glad you
enjoyed it. I really did, and I'm happy. I'm going
to actually write about it when I write the show
(02:45):
notes for this podcast. I'm going to write more about
my experience. And I know it was important to you
for me to experience it myself before you came on
the podcast today. Can you say a little more about
why that was important to you that I experience it well,
because just tearing about it and looking at the egg itself,
(03:08):
like you said, there is that skeptical side, and I
really feel like you have to experience it to really
understand what it's doing to your body and your mind
and your spirit. So I wanted us to be able
to have a full conversation about what your experience was
like and how you felt afterwards, so that you could
(03:32):
help other people to understand as a new person going
into the egg and what your experience was all about.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I felt like it was a good place to start.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, your intuition on that was so good because now
like people can probably tell, like those of you who
watched this on YouTube, like, I feel so good. It's
like the first day after and I had a couple
really challenging calls this morning already, and I still feel
really good. I'm like, huh, this is amazing. I need
to make this a part of my life, so cam
(04:04):
when I re invite people on my show. Most of
my clients are healers, not my clients my podcast guest.
Most of them are healers, some of them are survivors,
many are both. And I believe you share pretty publicly
that you're also a survivor. Is there any part of
(04:24):
your story that you're comfortable in sharing today because that
just helps my audience connect with you. Yeah. So I've
just always I was in a family of four kids.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I was a middle child.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Life was always very stressful in my home growing up.
I don't want to go into it too much, but
at a very young age, I know now, I didn't
know for the longest time that I became very dysregulated.
I was in fear a lot as a young person.
That's when you're suppose to feel safe, and that's where
(05:02):
you really grow your roots. So when you don't feel safe,
you go into dysregulation, you go into a sympathetic state,
and that's what you feel is normal, and you stay
there because that's what saved you and kept you feeling safe.
So looking back, I feel like that started for me
(05:23):
probably around ten years old and probably have been in
there most of my life until probably the past two
years when I really really started learning about the nervous
system and how I was operating my life. So yeah,
(05:45):
that's pretty much it in a nutshell, without going into
too much detail. Yeah, and I always tell my guests,
this isn't The Doctor Phil's show. So I never want
people to talk about something they're not ready to talk
about or I mean different reasons, right, and what they
share and how much they share. So thank you for
(06:05):
having a boundary for yourself, and as I ask you questions,
feel free to enforce that because another question I tend
to ask people is you know you can talk about
it about yourself and also clinically, when we're justsregulated, that
can those symptoms can look different for different people. So
if you feel comfortable and maybe share some of the
(06:27):
symptoms you've had as you were growing up, like when
your body's dysregulated, what did that look like? And then
maybe share because I know you're a student too and
have studied feeling what other people symptoms could be. Do
you feel comfortable with that? Sure? So from my own experience,
I was very anxious, a lot of anxiety and depression.
(06:51):
This kind of I feel like go hand in hand
because when you're anxious all the time, you have so
much cortisol running through your body or dream get run
down and then next thing you know, you collapse and
you're depressed. And why can't I keep going that cycle?
I feel like that was a majority of my symptoms, and.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Then you try to self medicate.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You try to find something that's going to help you
to feel better temporarily, whether it be alcohol or any
sort of substance, anything, even just filling your days with stuff,
filling your life with being busy so you don't have
to actually sit and feel those uncomfortable feelings. So I
(07:33):
feel like that's how I handled it. I stayed busy,
I stayed out of my home a lot when I
was growing up. I didn't I didn't want to have
to feel the feelings that were going on there. So
I just filled my days and I never stopped.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Until recently.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I mean, I'm still pretty busy now, but it comes
from a different place. It comes from more heart centered place,
more of a healthy place versus fear driven. So yeah,
that was my experience in how I handled my dysregulation
is just constantly feeling anxious, and I had trouble sleeping
(08:13):
and having trouble with food and eating too much, not
eating enough, anorexia, all those things I went through. Self
harm something that comes up when you're young and you
are very dysregulated. You just want to know the pain,
You just want things to disappear. Yeah, thank you, thank
you for sharing. I know talking about some of that's
(08:35):
not easy. And then are there symptoms that your clients
you've helped that any other symptoms that they've experienced that
you haven't felt yourself necessarily. Let's see, I personally haven't
suffered a lot of physical symptoms, meaning body pains, illness.
(08:57):
A lot of times when you're in a sympathetic state
and you're emotionally dysregulated, those emotions can cause illness in
your body, autoimmune disease, all sorts of disease just because
your immune system doesn't function right. So in that regard,
I've been fortunate that I haven't been diagnosed with any conditions.
(09:17):
And a lot of my clients, you know that it
does eventually manifest in some sort of diagnosis. So that's
that's what I see. I see people come in with
a diagnosis with no reason or no understanding behind it,
and where did this come from? And usually it cuts
stems from some emotional past, something traumatic that set them
(09:41):
into a tailspin, shut down the immune system, and so on. Yeah,
I see a lot of that as well. And it
took me a long time, even as a therapist, to
make the connection. It's not common knowledge that I mean,
if we think about it, logically makes sense that trauma
can make us, but when it actually happens and shows
(10:03):
up in weird, funky ways like I number one time,
I was sitting, I thought I was calm, and my
toes started to curl up, and I started to panic, thinking,
what in God's green earth is happening? And I could
be disabled and I could be able to walk again,
and my brain is flipping out, And I was like,
(10:27):
it could just be like a stress reaction. Just try
to ground yourself and breathe and see what happens, and
try enough. They started to uncurl and it happened a
couple more times, and then it went away. And then
it would be a different part of my body that
would have that automatic response, that nervous system just regulation response.
(10:48):
It would be my legs would be cramping. So throughout
my life I've had these weird, funky symptoms sometimes. But
the cool thing is about it, not that it's a
weird way to put it, but it's it's strength that
I can see that happening to the clients now because
I can talk them through it and teach them and
tell them about different healing techniques, and now I get
(11:08):
to tell them about the ape. Yeah, tell us a
story on how you fell into energy healing and the
agge specifically. Like I said in my bio, I started
I wanted to learn more about health and wellness and
how to be healthy. Once I had my kids, I
(11:30):
really didn't want them to go through the same things
I went through. However, they are on their own paths
and I can't protect them from everything, but my focus
was to try to give them the tools to be
able to manage it. That being said, I just started
learning more about when I would take them to the doctor,
(11:52):
i'd take them for business. I was always just so
disappointed in recommendations. There was never any real reasoning behind
my questions, and I didn't really get real answers. I
started reading like, I don't know if you've heard of
Eckhart totally, Oh yeah, I'm going to see him. He's
coming to DC.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Really, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
He was, But that was probably my That and then
learning about the law of attraction, and then starting to
understand that we're energetic beings and that we are a
force of energy and every cell of our body contains
energy and every thought we have as an energetic sending
energy out. So that just kind of started opening my
eyes to things and I was like, why don't we
(12:36):
know this, Why haven't we been taught this? It feels
so essential. So I started them on that path. And
then several years ago, a friend of mine who was
a nurse and was kind of unhappy with her career choice,
decided to open an egg and I saw what she
was doing. I saw her posts on Facebook and I
(12:58):
was like, what is that? That is crazy? And she
was telling me about it, and I was like, I
need to know more about it. So I started googling
it and I found an egg in Virginia Beach that
was the closest one. So I said, well, I got
to try it, because the skeptical in me was like, yeah,
(13:18):
it's not going to do anything. I'm just going to
be disappointed. This is going to be another disappointment. So
I went and I tried it with like zero expectations
of anything. And when I got in the egg and
I was in my session, I was just kind of like,
fifteen minutes is a long time for me to sit still,
first of all, and.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It went by so fast.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I was like, whoa, where did my I was awake,
but it went by so fast and my body was twitching.
There was twitching happening, and afterwards I was a little
out of it and I thought.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I don't even really know what I experienced. I then
just started.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Getting all the books and I said, I want to
know more about this. I need to understand quantum physics.
I need to understand how lights and sound and the resonance,
how that affects our bodies. But the truth of it is,
there's energies around us all the time. They're just mostly
bad energies like Wi Fi and radiation and all these
things that were exposed to on a regular basis. But
(14:22):
energy is in the essence of who we are, every
cell of our body. So it all just started to
make sense to me. So, yeah, I don't know if
that explains to your question.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I feel like I got on a hand.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
No. No, you did a great job. You said something
really fascinating to me yesterday that I didn't know, and
that was really helpful for me. You talked about our
cells when we're in fight or flight or when we're
just regulating, just regulated, our cells don't absorb water. That
we need to help with kind of adding electrolytes to
(14:59):
a water. Can you say a little bit about that.
I thought that was fascinating. Yeah, So when we're in
a sympathetic state, I don't even and I'll just quickly
explain what this means. I know you already understand it.
But our nervous system is sympathetic and parasympathetic. Sympathetic is
the go fight, the fight or flight or freeze. A
lot of us get stuck in that cycle and we
(15:20):
don't remember what it feels like to be in a
pair of sympathetic state, which is our rest, digest and heal.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Okay, so when.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
We're in sympathetic, our immune system stops working, you know,
because that's something that can wait. Our digestion can wait,
fighting toxins and detoxing our body. That can all wait
while we're handling all the stress and the things that
we have to address, so all that can go on hold.
So when that happens, Yeah, our cells sort of become
(15:47):
more rigid. They create like a barrier, and they don't
absorb water and they don't excreete toxins. So this is why,
amongst the fact that we're under stress and I remember
doctor saying to me all the time, well you're just
stressed out, and I'm like yeah, as in everybody, But
no one really explained to me what that meant. And
(16:11):
they did say, just drink water, you know, try to relax,
and I'm like, okay, well I wish I had thought
of those things, but those.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Are great ideas I should do that.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
So I drank a lot of water, and I didn't
realize that I wasn't actually absorbing the water. I was
just paying it out because my cells weren't absorbing it.
In my training and learning how the nervous system works,
that's why when you do the egg, our bodies are
great facilitators of vibrations sound.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
If you tap on a fish tank.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's like the fish. I mean, it's it's very powerful.
So our bodies are mostly water.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
So when you're in the egg, you.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Want to be hydrated. But afterwards you really want to
hydrate because you're in a parasympathy that state and you're
really going to absorb that water and your body's going
to release things. We recommend electrolytes all the time. You
need some salt. It'll help to yourselves to absorb the water.
(17:13):
It's very simple and basic, but no one ever explains that.
At least I was never told these important, little, fun
little facts that could help me to be healthier. So, yeah,
so you have to drink a lot of water with
salt electrolytes. That was so awesome to here. I was like, Okay,
(17:35):
it just made sense to me. Yeah, great, And so yeah,
talk more about the healing benefits because the egg helps
us go into parasympathetic, which is the digest rast and yell,
like you said, tell us about the other benefits of it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So, I mean that's the biggest benefit.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And we use the light. Okay, so light. A lot
of people are into red light therapy. I mean, light
has been beneficial to our bodies for a long time,
at least they've been using light and healthcare they use light.
When my daughter was born and she was jaundice, they
had to use light on her to help her body
(18:18):
to excrete the billy ruben. So there's benefits to all
different light, and there's benefits to all different types of sound.
When your vibration is low, meaning you're in disease, your
bodies not in balance, your cells will vibrate at a
different frequency Okay, so they say your heart you have
(18:39):
a heart problem. Your heart frequency is usually about one
hundred parts a healthy heart. When it's not functioning rate,
then your frequency lowers. Makes sense in the sense that
your cells just start to vibrate slower because they're not
functioning properly. So what happens in EGG is that it
(19:01):
starts to elevate your your body starts to become entrained
with the frequency in the hang.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
But it's very gentle. It's not going to bombarde you.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It's a very gentle nudge to start.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
To match that vibration. That's why it's.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I really love it because it's not going to force
a healing that you're not ready for, but it's going
to gently nudge you in that direction. Afterwards, a lot
of clients will have all different types of experiences.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Some people will.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Have if there was some traumatic event that they've been
holding onto that maybe they don't even know about it anymore.
It'll become more clear to them as to why they
operate the way they operate, or why they're living in fear,
or why there's no they can't have peace. Oh well,
and it becomes clear. So clarity after the session has
(19:57):
been a big one for people muscle relife taxation I had.
I have people who come in with a lot of
physical pain and helping their muscles to relax just because
of the parasympathetic activity helps to relax the muscles and
therefore helps to relax pain if they're having any pain anywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
In particular.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You can also have talks and release, virus release, or bodies.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Hold on to those things.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I think, for example, cold source. I told you this yesterday.
I had a client who would get cold source and
that herpes virus. It stays in our system and is dormant,
so it can trigger a respond healing response in the
sense that virus is released into the body. Your immune
system then can start to get to work on it.
(20:47):
So sometimes you'll see it come to the surface, like
you'll get a cold sort and then your body fights
it off and then you'll notice you don't get them anymore,
or they're just a lot less frequent, and slowly, slowly
they become less and less.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So it's very.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Fascinating in how it works because it's not it's not
that the egg. The egg is just putting you in
the right environment that your body can make the right
chemistry that it hasn't been making for a while. So
does that answer your question? Absolutely? I remember yesterday saying
(21:24):
this to you too. It is like I really thought
the vibration would be more startling and it wasn't. It
was just very smooth and it felt like a lullaby
and I just gently swayed. I'm sweating like this, but
that's not what my body did. It was very I
don't know what the right word is. I'm struggling with
(21:45):
articulating it exactly, but I can say the effect on
me was it was super soothing. Do you have a
better way to describe the vibration ever, So it's the resonance.
So and I told you this, it's sort of like
if you were inside of a guitar. So it's it
travels through you, but it's not jolting you. We don't
(22:08):
want you. But it doesn't mean I understood when you
say that, like I was in a guitar, I was like,
I'm never I don't know what to say. I know
it's just a good visual, but it's just uh, yeah,
it's just going to gently cause your brain waves to
slow down, your heart rate to slow down, and the
(22:28):
cells to start to match the resonance through entrainment. So
because of the shape of the egg, the energy really
kind of encompasses you, and it's really light and sound
are really the only thing that can get into every
cell of your body. There is no pill, no supplement
you can take that's going to flood every cell of
(22:49):
your body. It just meets you where you're at and
gently nudges you. So yes, it's like and afterwards some
people feel a little shaky. Did you feel that or
you may not have, but some people do. Yeah, I
definitely felt a lot, like I got some chills doing it,
and I found a slight tremor. I wanted to ask
(23:10):
you to look. I know, I read on the website
there would be some skin benefits, and I felt like
my face was also more relaxed. I don't know, is
that something people talk to you about or something you
experienced in the egg? Can you say a little more
about skin or face? So it it creates more of
(23:30):
a like a faster cell turnover. Okay, So, like I said,
people use red light therapy for.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
That sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You know, it helps your dead cells to kind of
turnover faster, things to move faster. So when you increase
circulation in the body and you start increasing that vibration,
lower vibrational talks and things in the body start to
die off and your cells.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Then start to work properly.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So in that regard, yes, it's it's causing a turnover
in the skin cells as well all your cells. So yeah,
I mean there's benefits to all of the lights, not
like blue light does that too. It's really good for
your skin. Actually yellow it is really good for your
skin too. But everyone's on the red light kick because
(24:16):
it's it's great. It in increases circulation and it does
those things as well, but they're but yeah, so that's
that's how it works. It just creates a faster cell turnover.
I'm looking at the anti gravity chair now and and
the lights around it. It almost looks I think I
said this yesterday, it looks like you're going into a
(24:37):
sci fi movie. But also it looks really like heavenly.
It's like you're going to be beamed up in some way. Yeah.
I thought like, first of all, the egg was bigger
than what I envisioned, So I was like, okay, good,
there's not gonna be any and I'm not necessarily claustrophobic.
(24:58):
But I was worried about clients who and I guess
I want to ask how many people feel like there's
some sort of spiritual thing going on? And my other
question is how often just give the doors open a
little bit for people, because I know that's an option. Yeah,
some I haven't had to leave the doors open very often.
(25:18):
There was one and usually I start with the door
a little bit open and then they say I can
close it. It's spacious inside. It's like I say, it's
like being in a minivan. It's pretty open. You don't
really feel claustrophobic, and you could easily kick the door
open with your foot. You're not sealed in, so it's
very easy to open. And then there's the doorbell in
(25:38):
the pocket if you want to come out for any reason.
And yeah, people do tell me they have spiritual experiences.
I think it's a matter of your brain weighs really
slow down, and people go more to their heart center,
they pray, they feel more a sense of home, and
(26:01):
I've had clients say they've had feel like they've had.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Interactions with loved ones who have passed.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
And I just think it's just creating that space for
a deep meditation that you're able to connect.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
In that way is what seems to be the case.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, how beautiful that you're offering that to people, Like
I'm just how do you feel about having this egg
and offering it to people? Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I just love it.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I just love it, and I just want more and
more people to understand it and be exposed to it.
I mean, I'm just the facilitator. I'm just I listen
and then I set up the session based off of
what we're working on, and then you're doing it. I mean,
the person inside, it's them, it's the egg putting them
(26:56):
in that right environment for whatever supposed to happen for
them to happen. So I'm just happy that we have
it here. And that's the reason I opened my center
is because I was like, I need this closer. I
can't drive to Virginia Beach. I would have, and I
do have clients who do come from far to experience it,
(27:19):
but I just really wanted it closer to home because
that's something I knew I needed to do regularly and
it just really helps me.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I just wanted to help everybody.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
That's so beautiful. I know you're being extremely generous by
offering people to try it out, like first timers, to
kind of try it out. You are offering our podcast
listeners a special coupon if you were if you will
to kind experience it. Can I say a little bit
about that?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, So for anyone who hears the podcast, you can
use the coupon code thrive and it's forty five dollars
off a session. We're uh, there's packages, there's memberships, people
do all sorts of whatever resonates with you. But yeah,
(28:14):
at least I would at least come and try it
the first time and see how you feel about it
and then see where to go from there. It's a
very generous song for forty five dollars is a lot,
so that's very kind. And I also want to thank you.
Come endorsed or feeling a little bit nervous about speaking,
(28:36):
She's done an amazing job today. Could not tell a
second that you were nervous, and I know you did
meditation and calmed yourself. But also Kim has agreed to
be one of our speakers for our Finding Energy after
Trauma summit, So I want to just personally thank you
for that, and we're going to use this episode to
(28:58):
tell more people about the summit and tell more people
about the Egg, and hopefully people will come to the summit.
Here you speak more. We have to figure out a
way to make your talk extra juicy now that you've
shared a little bit here, and I just want to say,
I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Thank you, I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Thank you for what you do, you do so much,
and thank you for allowing me to come on and
talk beautiful.
