Welcome to Episode 3 of the Pool of Life Podcast featuring April Daulby (Bradbury) from Synergy Somatics, for this excellent episode of the Pool of Life Podcast.    April is a Liverpool based Somatic Experiencing and Somatic Movement Facilitator and Practitioner, and someone I have wanted to interview for a while.   In this episode we explore April's journey through life, growing up in North Liverpool, her previous work in Professional services, and the journey of the last 10+ years working with Somatics following a powerful healing experience of her own after experiencing years of chronic pain.   It's my personal belief that some of what April talks about in this episode, is essential for the times that we live in, for regulating our nervous system, and bringing awareness to the environments that we operate in. Are these environments energy giving or energy taking!   There are so many nuggets of wisdom in this episode, that i'll let you listen and not provide any spoilers.   This is for you if you're exploring ways to heal and feel more, to become more attuned to the body, feelings, and sensation, and learn how to regulate you nervous system. All massively important in the times that we're now in. April's journey highlights the importance of self-discovery and healing. Chronic pain can be a signal from the body that needs addressing. Self-awareness is crucial for personal growth and change. The nervous system plays a vital role in our emotional and physical health. Regulating the nervous system can lead to profound changes in life. Healing can occur on a cellular level through somatic practices. Creating a supportive environment is essential for personal transformation. The ripple effect of individual healing can positively impact relationships. Finding internal awareness is a powerful first step in healing. Practical tools for self-regulation can be easily integrated into daily life.   Keep #beingthechange...enjoy and subscribe.   Website - Link Instagram - Link Facebook - Link  Email to contact April - aprilbradbury@synergysomatics.com   Books referenced in the Podcast - Peter Levine - An Unspoken Voice  Tom Hanna - Somatics   #somatics #somaticexperiencing #somaticexperience #constellations #beingthechange

It's with excitement that I announce the launch of Episode 1 of the Pool of Life Podcast. The motivation here for me is that I am always connecting and speaking with SO many amazing people, whether it be a Therapeutic Practitioner, a Scientist, an Entrepreneur, a Leader or an Indigenous elder..... The range of wisdom, knowldege and experience is far and wide, and often there are common threads that underpin all of it. Its my aim and intention to bring these voices to the wider community...to learn, to share, to grow, and foster community...being the change. My first guest Christine Holt is a special human being indeed. I first became aware of Christine through a Lady who attended one of my Family Constellations Workshops. At the end of the workshop she 'strongly' recommended that I connect with Christine, which I did, and the connection blossomed from there. What I have often experienced in connecting with the most powerful of Teachers, is that in a general sense you could rarely intentionally find them.....they seemingly appear when one is ready! As the old eastern saying goes, when the pupil is ready the master appears. Liverpool is a small City and I couldnt believe we had never crossed paths. Christine is a Woman of deep embodied wisdom and experience, as well as a presence that is rarely encountered. It was an absolute privilege to interview her, to talk about her life's journey, and how it evolved in to the systemic shamanic method she teaches and holds space for others with - somatic shamanism.
