Put On Your Own Oxygen Mask First
My sister, Christy Foster is a CranioSacral therapist, pioneering educator, speaker and mentor in the field of body-mind integration. She specializes in teaching health and wellness practitioners on how to interpret the subconscious language of the body. Her mission is to empower and create self-awareness. Christy is joining me for a sister chat on ways to take care of ourselves and pay attention to the ways our bodies tell us to check in.
