Abuse, Chaos, & A School Shooting: Somatic Healing with Melissa Armstrong
Manage episode 439337644 series 3579186
Can somatic healing unlock the body’s hidden potential to process trauma? Join us for a powerful conversation with Melissa Armstrong, a Trauma-Informed Functional Health Coach who has dedicated her life to helping women recover from trauma.
Melissa's chaotic, traumatic childhood included parental addiction and abuse, a school shooting at 15, and witnessing her brother's death at 18. Unresolved trauma led to severe physical symptoms, prompting her to explore alternative healing. Over 20+ years, Melissa transitioned from nursing to being a Trauma-Informed Functional Health Coach. She now guide women in healing their mind, body, and spirit through mind-body connection, somatic work, nervous system regulation, lab testing, lifestyle changes, and nutrition. Healing is always possible!
Melissa opens up about her struggles with severe health issues, including gut problems, migraines, and insomnia, and how these challenges led her to explore holistic and functional medicine. Learn how the introduction of meditation by her now-husband marked a turning point, allowing her to break free from generational cycles of trauma and create a loving home for her children. Our conversation sheds light on the resilience required to overcome a turbulent past and the transformative power of supportive relationships in fostering healing and self-discovery.
