Ana Santaolalla: Finding Healing Through Holistic Wellness

I think I'd go back to the piece around taking the one to two minutes throughout the day to just pause and take a breather and just be grounded in the present moment.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their darkest experiences into a source of strength and healing for others? In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', Hilary Roberts and Alex Meschi (standing in for Jason Wahler) sit down with Ana Santaolalla, a Los Angeles-based holistic and integrative psychotherapist. Ana opens up about her own journey through sexual trauma as a teenager and how it led her to discover the transformative power of yoga. But that was just the beginning.
Her quest for healing took her deep into Eastern philosophies, including Buddhist psychology, Zen, mindfulness, and meditation. These practices didn't just help her cope; they became the foundation of her holistic wellness approach. Ana also shares practical techniques to calm the mind during stressful times, emphasizing the importance of compassion and being present. Imagine taking just a minute or two each day to breathe and reflect—Ana believes it can make a world of difference for your mental and physical health.
The episode also delves into Ana's collaboration with The Red Songbird Foundation and her thoughts on challenging behavior patterns and the role of spirituality in parenting. If you're looking for insights into holistic healing or just need a dose of inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
