Denise Schonwald started her career as a critical care nurse and then later went into psychology. It was in this transition that she had this epiphany. It was one of those moments when all the stars aligned and she started to realize an interesting trend that the things that people we struggling with mentally, were manifesting themselves in the body.

At first, she thought it was a coincidence until she started to study energy. It was then she drew the correlation that when trauma and emotional pain begin to manifest in the body, it is because the nervous system is imbalanced and much of this is controlled by our energy and thoughts.

Her passion for holistic healing has been fueled by witnessing families cope with the emotional toll of illness during her time in the healthcare field, and her recognition that the brain-body connection is more than just a coincidence. Today, Denise extends her compassionate care nationwide through virtual sessions. As a spiritually grounded mental health counselor and medical intuitive, she provides a comprehensive approach, seamlessly merging mental and physical well-being.

As a public speaker, spiritual teacher, and certified family mediator, Denise advocates for a harmonious integration of mind and body. Her commitment to nurturing both the body and the mind shines through in her client-centered practice, offering support to individuals, couples, and families. In her book, "Healing Your Body by Mastering Your Mind", Denise offers insights into living a physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy life by listening to and interpreting our body's messages and how to heal.

In this episode, Denise teaches us:

1. We process different fears and emotions in different parts of the body. Fear, trust, self-worth are all processed in the stomach. Then the body tries to balance itself out and we either eat, not eat, or drink alcohol.
2. we don't have to relive our trauma to resolve it. But, we do have to come to terms with it. Suffering isn't suffering when we can find meaning within the experience or trauma.
3. If you want to know how your feeling, notice how your acting and reacting to things. These are indicators.
4. Your emotional energy can be measured in hertz. When this energy reaches a certain level (around 50) it is likely that you will become sick.
5. Medicine and supplements are necessary to provide what your body needs and help treat your illness. But, true health is a combination of high vibrational energy and balance in your body. you can maximize health by shifting your thoughts and healing your trauma.
