The Cyclical Doula Podcast: Fertility Awareness, Charting Cycles, and Reproductive Health Education
This episode features Denise Elysa, a somatic practitioner and embodiment guide who shares her profound journey of healing from over 30 diagnoses including Lyme disease, ME/CFS, MCAS, and POTS. Denise discusses how disconnection from the body often underlies chronic illness and how somatic inquiry, energy healing, and nervous system regulation can support deep healing. Key topics include: the importance of viewing the body as intelligent rather than broken, how trauma and emotional repression manifest as physical symptoms, the role of safety and trust in healing, cyclical nature of healing (non-linear), and practical embodiment tools. Denise emphasizes that healing requires slow, intentional work that honors the body's protective mechanisms rather than forcing quick fixes. She shares her Bridge to Embodiment program which combines somatic inquiry, energy healing, past life regression, and community support over 6-12 months.
