In this episode, Daisy chats with Maddie Gentile, a licensed massage therapist and wellness entrepreneur. Maddie is the founder of Manual Movement - a healing offering that combines massage, movement and breathwork for anyone that wants “to have a deeper understanding of what their body is communicating.” After many years yo-yo-ing between Western and Eastern approaches to manage her autoimmune disease, Maddie was inspired to get to the root of the problem by studying soft tissue manipulation through both approaches at Pacific College of Health & Science and Ischemic Compression technique under DPT, Vinita Chandra Modey. Her experience in fitness and consistently active lifestyle - including a stint on the founding team at Dancebody - also fueled her curiosity and informed her studies. Daisy highlights Maddie’s passion for facilitating healthy movement and consequently wellbeing as they discuss how the body stores energy. By identifying physical imbalances and correcting patterns with small incremental changes over time, we can optimize our lifestyle, get out of pain and unlock our natural intelligence - mentally and physically.
