Description

"How we can contribute to shift things is very personal and will look different for each person. And that’s ok. We have to let go that there’s only one way to do it."

In this episode, acupuncturist Chiara Galimberti shares about the challenges, values and dreams of healing justice within healthcare practices. She talks about the systemic ways she sees dis-ease showing up and approaching wellness with the goal of reducing harm.

We discuss:

• The challenges of engaging + practicing alternative healing within our systems
• The importance of healthcare within the framework of social justice
• The difference between neutral + mainstream spaces — embracing function over perfection
• Transparency around lineage as a way to participate in justice
• Centering your priorities, why you’re doing what you’re doing and who you are 
• The fluid experience of being ‘other’ in most circles and spaces 
• Acupuncture as an environmental medicine, understanding our circumstances as a part of our dis-ease and healing
• Breaking the hierarchy of practitioner and patient
• How acupuncture can lend itself to the practice of social justice
• Re-appreciating folk medicine + food as medicine
• How we’re already practicing natural medicine at home
• Her experience of the shortcomings of nationalized healthcare and private healthcare
• The systemic ways she see dis-ease showing up in the body
• How trauma sensitivity informs her practice
• Providing opportunities for self-sovereignty in healthcare
• Choosing harm reduction over perfection
• Re-framing how we value and notice care work
