Gail Susan Gordon joins me as we look at nervous system regulation within the therapeutic relationship, whether working with individual adults or supporting parents, caregivers and children. As we support and foster attunement and regulation within the healing relationship, we create the conditions that allow people to grow and flourish.
Gail describes her compassionate view on how to best support the healing process for adults who’ve had challenging childhoods. You're sure to leave this episode feeling warmth in your heart and more grounded and at ease.
About Gail, in her own words:
My own journey has taught me that healing is not only possible, it’s a reality one can count on. When I bring together my training and my personal experience, I’m able to support people to move forward in a meaningful way.
I’ve worked as a psychotherapist with children and adults for almost 15 years. My training includes advanced studies in early development, trauma and somatics (body-oriented therapies). My work incorporates the impact of culture and social/political oppression in our daily lives.
A special interest has been integrating the body into therapy through many programs, including Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Resilience and Regulation, and Transforming the Experienced Based Brain/Transforming Touch. Learning the abundance of ways the body and mind are designed to heal from stress and trauma is an ongoing revelation. I share with you what I learn, incorporating it into my approach to working together. I’m looking forward to our journey.You can learn more about Gail and her services on her website

Justin Salamon and I explore the intersections between the therapeutic power of working in the outdoor industry and supporting clients in our healing modalities. We explore river running, nature, regulation, intuition, sharing power and why we don’t give our clients “psychic downloads”. Listen in a find out more about how we can become a safer space for those we support.
About Justin
Justin Salamon, MA - Certified Rolfer:
"My first experience with Rolfing® SI was in 2000 when I was seeking help for chronic shoulder dislocations. I was an avid climber, backpacker and paddler working in the outdoor industry but injuries threatened my ability to continue my livelihood. My first ten series was transformative – walking was joyful in a way I had never experienced, breathing was effortless, my coordination improved and old pains disappeared. I realized that I needed to study Rolfing SI to understand the changes that had occurred in my body and to share the work with others.
Since 2002 I have been privileged to practice Rolfing Structural Integration, and in the process help clients of all ages and backgrounds. I approach each session as an opportunity to understand the physical and psycho-biological patterns that make each client unique, and enjoy the challenge of helping each person become pain-free, embodied, and more comfortable in his/her everyday life. Rolfing fuels my passion for deepening my knowledge of the human body and the human experience through formal education and independent study.
When I am not Rolfing you can find me helping with the management of Canyon Explorations where we offer 13-18 day human powered river trips through Grand Canyon. I still get on the river as a Guide and Trip Leader but have more time to devote to Rolfing and management. My free time is spent exploring the mountains, rivers and canyons. Most importantly my time is spent learning, adventuring and growing with my children."

This week, I am so grateful to welcome Kristen Ales, LPC & Kristin Mathes, LCSW of the Wilder Wellness Podcast. Our conversation delves into the power of connection through group experiential work - a topic that we’ve been reflecting a lot on lately. We also explore how we as practitioners learn to let go of old habits, particularly the tendency to push ourselves too hard in not only our own healing journeys but also in our professional lives.
The three of us also share our experiences facilitating retreats in nature and the power of connecting in groups. Kristin gives us a preview of her deep prep for launching EMERGE, a surf therapy retreat which involves a lot of somatic-based practices with Mother Ocean - happening in February 2025. And in a very vulnerable and honest share, I open up about my process around planning my upcoming retreat and what it’s been like in getting the word out about it.
This episode invites you into a circle of kind, regulated, well-intentioned, compassionate and wonderfully inspired humans. For healing practitioners (especially for those who focus on trauma healing and nervous system regulation), I hope this episode serves you as a deep exhale.
Wilder Wellness is a podcast all about exploring our relationship with our bodies, minds, and communities through an adventurous lens. Tune in each week as Kristen Ales & Kristin Mathes navigate new topics around emotional health, physical health, and living life outside of the box. Kristen and Kristin are two licensed therapists, & friends, for empowering and inspiring interviews with wellness professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and big thinkers, dreamers & doers who are changing the prescription for true well-being.

I am so moved and honored to welcome Kelly McDaniel LPC, NCC to the podcast to discuss her book Mother Hunger, a personal life-changer that I frequently recommend to my clients. During this powerful conversation, we explore the term “Mother Hunger” and its various impacts on daughters with mothers who weren’t able to tend to them in nurturing and supportive ways.
We also discuss:
The importance of using non-pathologizing language on experiences that are often so shamed
Yearning for nurturance, protection, and guidance and how someone might start the healing process
Mother Hunger as an Epigenetic inheritance from our maternal lineage and how it affects a mother-child bond
Implicit Memory and how our bodies carry experiences that elude verbal expression for many
Disorganized attachment and confronting the labels society attaches, such as “bipolar disorder” and “borderline personality disorder” and how these may reflect deeper, unmet needs.
Whether you’re a mental health professional or someone healing their own Mother Hunger, this conversation will offer insights and connection in a kind and compassionate way.
I left this conversation feeling deeply touched by the depth and topics we navigated through and truly in awe of Kelly’s ability to put words to such a heartbreaking experience that I have not only experienced but I know many of you have as well.
About Kelly McDaniel, LPC, NCC
Kelly McDaniel is a licensed professional counselor,author, mother, and women’s advocate. In her first book Ready to Heal, (2008) she named an attachment injury as “Mother Hunger” and started a movement.
Women resonated with the concept and wanted treatment. Since then, Kelly devotes herself to nurturing insecure attachment and maternal deprivation in adult women. In her second book, Mother Hunger, Kelly speaks to the millions of women who suffer with a life-long emotional burden that adversely affects self-worth, eating patterns, and relational wellness.

I am so excited to be joined by Megan deBoer again as we reflect on expanding, receiving money/abundance, what we see in the clients we work with and what inspires us to do this work.
We touch on:
Expanding our capacities to cope with ebbs and flows within our businesses
The “Nourishment Barrier” and how we can lean into support and learn tools that help us know that money is safe to receive and hold
The intersection of love, money & security and how the lack of safety in one of these domains can ultimately lead to dysregulation and shape our responses to receiving abundance
Importance of embodiment work and nervous system support in healing our relationship with money and abundance
How to trust ourselves to receive and give ourselves permission to receive
This work not only applies to money, but about whatever it is we need to flourish in our businesses and lives.
About Megan:
Megan deBoer is the founder of Tended Wealth, a business that helps individuals heal their emotional and practical relationship to money. As a certified Financial Recovery Counselor, her approach considers the context of our current financial circumstance: our lived experience, our family of origin, and the broad culture that together shape our beliefs about money. She is passionate about transforming this fundamental part of our lives from shame and overwhelm to a sense of agency, clarity, and potential. She specializes in helping women who are self-employed to radically increase their earning. Her course participants and 1:1 clients regularly attest to the life-changing power of this work.

Janel Phillips, founder and co-owner of Sansara Resort in Cambutal, Panamá joins me for an inspiring conversation about the experience and land where we’ll be hosting our Soulful Retreat.
She shares the synchronistic story of how she and her husband found themselves in picturesque Cambutal and how it's unfolded into the special and sacred place it is today.
Together we look at the experience of retreat participants, including the delicious cuisine, the adventures along the Southern Panamanian coast, and the interactions with staff.
Learn why this retreat destination serves as the perfect place for allowing our nervous systems to find balance and regulation and how you can truly take up nourishment and goodness from each moment during this experience.

About Janel:
As a former high-school teacher, Janel continued her studies around the world to encompass her passion for yoga, working with educators, healers, and yoga teachers before opening a Canadian-based yoga business. Through her experiences and passion, she began to realize how important it was to me to develop a business model that focused on the mind-body-earth connection and healthy living for both clients and the earth. Along with her husband Mike, they wanted to create a place that catered to all, and shared their passion and belief in a simpler, more organic lifestyle, where people can slow down, unplug, and escape their hectic lifestyles, and thus Sansara Resort came into fruition.
Janel and Milke strongly believe in giving back to and improving our community by utilizing the benefits of tourism to promote sustainable development and employment in Cambutal. They support our community by employing local residents and purchasing local products whenever possible.

In this episode, I am joined by Nuria Reed to explore embodiment-focused decolonization work from her perspective as a white-bodied practitioner with European lineage.
We delve into the power of this work in fostering a sense of deep belonging - whether it’s with the natural world, with each other, or inside themselves.
She explains the concept of Embodied Ancestral Awakening, shedding light on its important role in trauma healing. By becoming more rooted and secure in our own identities, we can forge more compassionate and connected relationships with each other, our work as practitioners, and the world.
Nuria is a certified sex coach, anthropology enthusiast, animist practitioner, and professional in transformation and liberation. Her approach is trauma-informed somatic-based coaching specifically for sexuality, spiritual awakening, and ancestral healing and her philosophy is planted in the reclaimed animist traditions of her ancestors and the Tantra of her yogic lineage. With 10,000 hours of teaching and training experience and two decades of transformative personal work, Nuria lives, breathes, and embodies liberation through pleasure.
Nuria’s 6-week program Ancestral Awakening will begin in November 2023. Ancestral Awakening is an intimate group course for women who long for an authentic and ancient spirituality. Find out more about the program here.

I am beyond grateful to have gotten to share this time with my teacher and mentor, Stephen Terrell. I’ve been eager to get this episode out since we recorded it last month. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
I’m often asked “how is THIS nervous system regulation work different from other regulation work?” and “HOW does it actually work?” and so many other questions. If you want to hear more about how this deep trauma healing modality was created from the man who created it, now’s the time!
Join me as I sit down with Stephen J. Terrell, PsyD, SEP, a renowned expert in the field of nervous system regulation work. In this conversation, we delve into the intricacies of this practice and explore its profound impact on healing and wellness. Together, we attempt to demystify the concept of nervous system regulation work as we ask, what exactly does it entail? In an attempt to answer this question, we explore:
The distinction between working with a trained practitioner versus engaging in guided nervous system regulation practices on our own
The relationship between faith and science in nervous system regulation work
Practical insights and techniques to help these professionals navigate the demands of their work while maintaining their own well-being
Why self-regulation is vital for creating safe and grounded spaces for clients and how practitioners can cultivate this skill both in and out of sessions
How to find a skilled practitioner in the field of nervous system regulation work
We hope that this episode gives you great insight into this kind of work, let us know what you think!
More about Stephen:
Stephen J. Terrell, PsyD, SEP, is a leading expert in the field of Developmental Trauma and Adoption and is recognized around the world for his work in Developmental Trauma and Healing. He understands Developmental Trauma from the inside out and the outside in. Terrell has performed more than 25,000 individual Transforming Touch® sessions and taught thousands of students from around the world in the art of Transforming Touch® as it relates to healing Developmental Trauma.

Welcome to Part 1 of a special 3-session series with Tamsin Crimmens, who generously offered to go live with me for some focused business coaching and nervous system support. During these discussions, we delve into deeply personal topics that bridge the personal and professional aspects of her life.
My intention in recording these sessions is to offer examples of embodied support and to demonstrate how we tend to trauma in a somatic and slow way. My hope is that these sessions bring us all more regulation and clarity as we're navigating significant moments in our lives and businesses.
Tamsin is a writer and mentor for (quietly) revolutionary coaches, healers and world-changers.

How 3 weeks on and 1 (or more) weeks off each month changed everything. In this solo episode, I share about the incredible work structure I've set up for myself that supports my nervous system and my heart and soul's highest purpose. I talk about the anxieties and fears and stories that show up each time I do this and the subsequent freedom that comes afterwards.
I share about the very real benefits of pausing intentionally to go inwards - these feel like the biggest and most significant investments in my business, my health and my entire life. I also share a very simple way that I add spacious structure to keep myself grounded and nurtured during these times. This is truly an act of revolution against cultural messages to hustle and I love getting to welcome you into it.

Dené Logan and I delve into the realms of self-discovery, authenticity, and spirituality. In this episode, we explore the power of presence and trust in one's unique path. We dive deep into the experience of struggle and suffering and the meaning it plays in our lives. Our conversation takes us on a journey towards a connection with something greater, whether it be spirit, source, or the divine. Join us as we give you permission to drop the "shoulds" and create space for your own authentic expression of this present moment.
