Mind-body healing practitioner Sandra Merrill takes us on a raw journey from corporate panic attacks to discovering profound healing through somatic practices and sound therapy.
We dive deep into the fascinating science behind why chronic pain often has emotional roots, exploring how our nervous systems hold onto unprocessed experiences and why we sometimes become attached to our suffering. Sandra shares her expertise in sound healing, explaining how specific vibrations can shift brainwaves and break up stagnant energy patterns in our bodies. Her approach combines yoga, meditation, coaching, and sound therapy to help clients release what no longer serves them.
Throughout our conversation, Sandra reveals practical tools from her daily practice, including transcendental meditation, shamanic drumming, and somatic awareness techniques. She discusses how different healing modalities work for different people and shares the importance of feeding our souls through consistent spiritual practices. Her story demonstrates how our greatest challenges often become our greatest teachers, leading us toward purpose-driven work that serves both ourselves and others. Sandra also shares a very personal journey of her daughters health as a newborn, and how she navigated this time.
