Michele Bolona is a compassionate guide on your journey to self-discovery. Trained in Neuro Somatic Intelligence and Neo Emotional Release, she provides a supportive space for others to explore their depths. Her mission is to help others reclaim ownership of their bodies and minds, dissolving tension and resistance to achieve true self-connection and awareness.
In this conversation, Michele discusses her journey of personal growth and healing. Michele shares her experience as a somatic healer and how she combines emotional release with the nervous system. She talks about her own journey of understanding her emotions and the importance of regulating the nervous system. Michele Bolona discusses her journey of learning to create safety within herself and how it has transformed her relationships and emotional well-being.
We discuss:
- The power of combining emotional release with nervous system regulation for healing and personal growth
- The importance of creating safety in the body
- Developing a personalized toolkit for nervous system regulation
- The connection between movement and embodiment
- Movement can be a way to distract from internal experiences, but it can also be a tool for connecting with the body and releasing energy
- Relying on others to keep us safe and control everything in our lives can lead to anxiety and a lack of vulnerability
- Somatic work and connecting with our emotions can help us set boundaries, communicate our needs, and have compassion for ourselves and others
- Feeling and processing emotions is crucial for healing and creating a deeper connection with ourselves and others
