Welcome to The Soma Pod! This episode is a brief introduction of the rebrand of a podcast that was once named "Mindful Medicine."

In this episode, Juliana describes her educational and experiential background as the host and producer of the podcast. She gives a brief description of what Somatics is and why it is important.

To further research these concepts: -Neurodiversity Paradigm  -ACE studies on stress/trauma showing up physically  -Internal Family Systems & Polyvagal Theory -Somatic Experiencing Peter Levine -The Body Keeps The Score
