Epi 21: “The Crystal Connection: With Guest Danette Forward”
Epi 21: “The Crystal Connection: With Guest Danette Forward”
In this week's episode of The Rebel Clinicians, Alex and John are joined by Danette Forward, a compassionate healer, intuitive clinician, and dedicated mental health worker currently living in Maui, Hawai'i. Danette opens up about her current work providing frontline emotional and therapeutic support to individuals and families impacted by the devastating Lahaina fires of August 2023.
As someone who arrived in the community as an outsider, Danette speaks candidly about the challenges of building trust and rapport in a deeply traumatized and tight-knit population. With humility, empathy, and a commitment to asking permission before offering help, Danette was able to connect deeply with the people she serves.
As the conversation unfolds, Danette shares how her intuitive gifts began to play a more visible role in her healing work--specifically her unique connection to crystals. She describes how she receives messages through these stones, offering personalized insights to clients when they're ready to receive them. Her story is a powerful reminder of the intersection between clinical work and intuitive healing, and how clinicians can honor both science and soul in their practice.
For fellow rebel clinicians navigating their own healing path, Danette offers an inspiring look at what it means to show up authentically, build trust through presence, and let your unique gifts support the people you're meant to serve.
