Our podcast aims to explore wellness by highlighting BIPOC leaders and changemakers in the wellness industry. We look at the intersection of wellness and social justice, including issues that affect all of us -- such as whitewashing, decolonization, and dominant culture. Our guests give valuable insight on how to build a better wellness world. Because wellness isn’t wellness, if it’s just for you.

This week we are joined by our lovely guest Denise Chang, a somatic trauma resolution practitioner, located on Kumeyaay land. We start off with Denise’s story and how they got into the somatic work. We learn about the field of trauma resolution and what Denise does as a practitioner. Plus, you’ll get a more clear definition of ‘somatics’ and some helpful advice for finding and creating a relationship with a somatic practitioner. Denise shares their work with Consensual Culture, a framework they developed/uses in their work. We get real about the heaviness of the last few years and Denise shares some ways to practice embodiment when life is hard. Zahra and Hien end with a conversation discussing their frustrations, hope, and potential for the people/systems in this country.
Denise (they/she) is a somatic trauma resolution practitioner, steward of consensual culture, abolition feminist, writer and dancer. Their work focuses on creating spaces for the embodiment of self-worth, sovereignty and sexuality for melanated people on the feminine spectrum through their extensive training in somatic trauma resolution, erotic movement arts, spiritual consciousness and ancestral power. Denise offers 1:1 sessions, immersive group experiences and healing circles as an intuitive space holder. They are a queer, nonbinary Malaysian Chinese immigrant femme of Daoist descent.
