Let's Talk Wellness - with Host, Mara James
It is a habit so many of us have, trying to keep our feelings “under control”, but it never really works out the way we want it to; and more often it takes a toll on our bodies and our lives.  This week, Mara welcomes Gosia Lorenz to the podcast for a conversation about the importance of letting go of those feelings - those energies - and the difference it can make in our physical, mental and emotional wellness.

She's continued her (re)search throughout her whole life where she studied multiple healing techniques, systems, and philosophies (Silva Method, Extrasensory Perception, Reiki, Dowsing, BodyTalk System, Theta Healing, Matrix Energetics, EFT, Access Consciousness, and many others).

Integrative Psychiatry: A Path to Healing and Wholeness ~ Guest, Dr. Laila Contractor

Integrative Psychiatry: A Path to Healing and Wholeness ~ Guest, Dr. Laila Contractor
 
Let's Talk Wellness - with Host, Mara James
 
“Psychiatry” might seem like a big word that is mostly associated with conversations to figure out someone’s mind, but it is a good bit more than that.  This week, Mara welcomes Dr. Laila Contractor to the podcast for a conversation about her own healing journey to physical and mental wellness, and how it led her to the field of Integrative Psychiatry.
 
Some of Dr. Laila Contractor’s earliest memories are with her grandfather, in his medical office talking to patients in India.  Very early in her life, he made an impression on her that truly listening to his patients did as much for them as the medicine he prescribed.
 
Dr. Laila’s experiences over the years led her to believe that a healthy mind was the most important aspect of a healthy life. She studied at several top medical schools and clinics in the nation, and worked with some of the biggest researchers in the field of psychiatry. She also worked with Kaiser Permanente for thirteen years where she helped develop their Teen Intensive Outpatient Program for those adolescents at-risk for hospitalization and suffering from significant depression amongst other issues.
The onset of a debilitating condition in 2019 took Dr. Laila into the field of integrative medicine through receiving treatment from Kelly McCann M.D./MPH at The Spring Center.  And it was with her brilliance, kindness, and amazing comprehensive, Integrative care that Dr. Laila started to find her way back to health.
Dr. Laila’s journey inspired her to complete an Integrative Psychiatry Institute Fellowship through the University of Colorado School of Medicine so she could offer her patients effective, research-based alternatives to traditional treatments.  Dr. Laila has built a practice that centers around partnership with children and families, to provide a holistic integrative evidence-based model for wellness with compassion and care for each unique individual.

Emotions In Motion ~ Guest, Dr. Greg Olsen

Emotions In Motion ~ Guest, Dr. Greg Olsen
 
Let's Talk Wellness - with Host, Mara James
 
We all have them - emotions - whether we want to pay attention to them, or not. Research increasingly shows more evidence of our emotions having connection to our physical condition, and in turn, to our well being.  This week, Mara welcomes Dr. Greg Olsen to the podcast to share some of his insight and experience with what emotional healing can contribute to our bodies and our wellness.
After graduating from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in April 1994, Dr. Greg Olsen’s journey began into chiropractic practice. His primary target is to help people find or return to their optimal wellness and vitality, and he has been pursuing that from day one of his journey to building his integrative health practice.
As a Wellness Expert, Dr. Olsen finds that all health problems, like chronic pain, fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, vertigo, back pain, neck pain, headaches or hypothyroid problems, have three causes – nutritional and chemical toxicity, hormones imbalance caused by stress, and trauma causing neurological damage. He witnesses on a daily basis that when we address these three causes, people get better.
Dr. Olsen is committed to helping all of his patients live a healthy and active life. He is incredibly passionate about empowering each patient with the knowledge and resources to take control of their health.  He knows that he was truly led to this life path and thanks God every day for the joy and privilege of being able to help people.

Nicole guides her sessions and trainings under the loving belief that each person can be their own healer. She empowers each client and student to embrace a purposeful, balanced life through the lineages of Reiki, yoga, and breathwork.
As a former college English teacher, Nicole has learned and practiced proven methods to increase accessibility and retention in learning environments.

Can Our Emotions Help Us Heal? ~ Guest, Dr. Hank Williams

Can Our Emotions Help Us Heal? ~ Guest, Dr. Hank Williams
 
Let's Talk Wellness - with Host, Mara James
 
What role do our emotions play in our healing process?  Mara welcomes Dr. Hank Williams this week, to discuss his experiences using Neuro Emotional Technique (N.E.T.) in his practice, and what it supports his clients to achieve.
 
Dr. Hank Williams is a Doctor of Chiropractic and Founder of the Williams Wellness Center, in Laguna Beach, California.  His philosophy is to identify the cause of clients’ health problems and then work to remove the cause – not just treat the symptoms.  Dr. Hank believes “dis-ease” is caused by three components: structural, chemical (nutritional) and emotional insults to our body. He has the systems and the expertise to treat the causes of each of these components.
 
In his treatment of emotional and psychological illnesses, Dr. Hank has integrated Neuro Emotional Techniques into his practice.  It helps him treat conditions like depression, anxiety, ADD and ADHD and OCD. This allows the body to extinguish its emotionally laden responses and make it possible for you to respond in a healthier way.
 
Dr. Hank’s foundational philosophy is to care for the patient with the disease, not just the disease. He works to correct the cause, not just the effect. This approach allows his clients’ bodies to help him choose the best and most effective treatment that’s right for each client.
