In this powerful conversation, I explore with Mamoko Uno the profound themes of grief, loss, and healing through integrative medicine. Mamoko shares her personal journey of losing her mother during the pandemic, the challenges of navigating grief, and the importance of holistic approaches to health. We discuss the impact of relationships on grief, the process of building resilience, and the significance of community support in healing. Mamoko also highlights her books that address trauma and the importance of sharing stories for healing.

Momoko is a doctor of integrative medicine, certified functional medicine practitioner, licensed acupuncturist, board certified herbalist and has a masters in spiritual psychology with an emphasis in consciousness, health and healing. She has published two books and is the owner and founder of Omni Wellness.
