Healers aren’t without their own wounds to work through. But even in the process of doing so, they can actively work to assist and guide others in healing themselves...as long as they’re willing to offer it.
My guest Brittanie Van Zant has something to offer people in search of something more in their healing journey. She’s a trained historian, holistic healer, and student of the metaphysical sciences who believes that healing and well-being belong to everyone and should be accessible and affordable to all. And she’s also had to go through some internal healing of trauma from early on.
In this episode of the Words of Love podcast, you’ll learn about the importance of self-care and integrating modern and ancient modalities for internal healing. Brittanie will also share her passion for end-of-life doula work in helping others transition, the significance of cultural practices like headwraps for holistic well-being, and more!
