Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or difficulty focusing? Have you been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD? Do you experience feelings of sadness for seemingly no reason? Are you gaining weight, or not losing it, despite working out and eating healthy?

Why do our clients get such good results? What do we do differently?
Lately, I’ve been getting these questions a LOT. After pondering the answers, I’m here today to share them with you! Some key things? We don’t use insurance, we invest TIME with our clients, and we get creative! I’ll go in depth about things we do (or don’t do) and WHY.

Joining me on the podcast today is Raina LaGrand, LMSW, MPH, CYT.
Raina is a somatic therapist, coach, and educator living in Ypsilanti, MI. Her perspective on somatics includes responding to the ways trauma & oppression shape our experiences and capacity to thrive. She believes individual and societal transformation is made possible when we center bodies, pleasure, relationships, and culture in healing. Through her work, she seeks to support others in living fully with presence and agency.

Joining me on the podcast today to answer this question are two good chiropractors and great storytellers, Dr. Zach Simpkins and Dr. Tygue Arvidson!
I’d like to share something special with you: a LIVE recording of a three month follow up call with one of my clients! My client, Dessie, kindly allowed me to record her call to share her progress with YOU!
Starting this process, her top three complaints were upper abdominal pain, joint pain, and fatigue. (Plus a slew of other symptoms that improved, as well!)
OMG! Yes, I need this!
