Rebel Clinicians Podcast
The Rebel Clinicians Podcast is your home for daring conversations and innovative insights designed to transform the world of mental health and holistic healing. Hosted by seasoned therapists and healers who refuse to be confined by the traditional therapy model, each episode explores the intersection of spirituality, ancient wisdom, and modern therapy. Whether you’re a therapist, social worker, energy healer, or simply someone seeking deeper healing and personal growth, we’re here to inspire, challenge, and guide you on your path.
In each episode, we dive into powerful topics like integrating psychedelics and indigenous wisdom, breaking free from the constraints of “the couch,” financial freedom, and building an authentic practice that reflects your unique magic. We’ll share stories of clinicians who are thriving by being true to themselves, and we’ll reveal practical tools for expanding your practice beyond boundaries while nurturing your soul. From financial strategies and marketing tips to shamanic practices and spiritual journeys, this podcast brings together everything you need to become an empowered and revolutionary healer.
Join us in our mission to disrupt the field, heal deeply, and redefine what it means to be a clinician—one episode at a time. Welcome to the tribe.

S2E9: “Energy, Reiki & Community Healing with Amy Conn”
S2E9: “Energy, Reiki & Community Healing with Amy Conn”
Hosts: Alex Runolfson & John Cottrell
In this week's Rebel Clinicians, Alex Runolfson and John Cottrell sit down with healer, author, and longtime yoga teacher Amy Conn to explore how energy, belief, and community shape real-world healing. Amy shares her path from 34 years as a public-school reading specialist to her work today as a Master-Level Intuitive Reiki practitioner, yoga instructor for the University of Utah Burn Unit Camps, and advocate for cancer survivors. Drawing from her own cancer journey and her book Revealing Grace, Amy offers a grounded view of Reiki--how it balances the body's energy centers, why "listening is medicine," and how simple elements (sound, scent, temperature, light, breath) create a safe space for transformation.
You'll hear powerful stories of community care (Survivor Wellness, inclusive retreats, and peer groups), how integrative approaches (Western treatment + yoga + energy work) support recovery, and why clinicians benefit from working with vibration and frequency in the therapy room. From kids and animals as natural teachers to the practical ways practitioners can "lighten the load," this episode invites us to believe in our own medicine and make room for a little magic.
