 How have you experienced healing in your life? What does healing mean to you? Where do you find healing? How do we talk about healing having lived through a global pandemic? What do we mean by Christian healing? The GoHealth Podcast explores these questions and more through the stories of lived experiences, generously shared. Gillian Straine, director of GoHealth, guides us through deep conversations about personal experiences of the many understandings of healing.

  • S8 Ep4: Rachel Michael - Movement and Mission

    S8 Ep4: Rachel Michael - Movement and Mission
    2025/10/17
    Revd Dr Gillian Straine talks with dance movement psychotherapist Rachel Michael, founder of Embodied Perspective and author of Embodied Prayer as Mission: Our Response to Cultural Change.

    Rachel shares how dance, faith and therapy meet in her work — helping people reconnect body, mind and spirit through gentle movement, awareness and prayer. Together, they explore how the body can become a sacred space for healing, how trauma and emotion are held within us, and how embodied practices can deepen our relationship with God.

    A beautiful and thought-provoking episode on rediscovering our bodies as instruments of prayer and transformation.

    In this episode Rachel and Gillian explore:

    • Dance as expression: Rachel discovered early on that movement can express what words can’t.
    • From stage to healing: She shifted from professional dance to dance movement psychotherapy, helping others connect body, mind and spirit.
    • Healing through movement: Gentle awareness of posture, breath and gesture helps release emotion and restore balance.
    • Working with trauma: Movement can safely unlock feelings held in the body, bringing freedom and integration.
    • Embodied prayer: Rachel links movement and Scripture — especially Psalm 139 — to explore the body as a place of encounter with God.
    • Rediscovering the body in faith: Many Christians learn to ignore the body; Rachel invites us to see it as sacred and central to prayer.
    • Faith meets science: The conversation celebrates how research on spirituality and neuroscience echoes ancient Christian wisdom about embodied prayer.

  • S8 Ep3: Faith, food and flourishing

    S8 Ep3: Faith, food and flourishing
    2025/09/22
    In this episode of the GoHealth Podcast, CEO Gillian Straine sits down with Dr. Shola Oladipo, a registered dietitian with nearly 30 years of experience, researcher, pastor, and CEO of Food for Purpose. Shola’s pioneering work sits at the intersection of faith, food, and health — equipping Black Majority Churches and wider communities to embrace culturally relevant approaches to health and healing.

    Together they explore:

    • Shola’s story of food, family, and faith growing up in the Pentecostal church.

    • The Rest–Digest–Reset project and how it is reshaping health through community co-design.

    • The unique health challenges facing Black, African, and Caribbean communities — and what mainstream health systems often overlook.

    • Why “cultural relevance” matters so much in healthcare.

    • The deeper barriers to health, from chronic stress and hypertension to the “weathering effect.”

    • How church leaders can be powerful agents of change — while also needing care themselves.

    • The theology that helps us connect faith with health, and how slowing down to “find the pace of God’s love” can itself be an act of healing.

    About our guest:
    Dr. Shola Oladipo is a registered dietitian, doctoral researcher, and the founder of Food for Purpose (FFP CIC). She has created the award-winning Healthy Church Initiative and partners with churches, NHS trusts, and local councils to tackle health inequalities. Her PhD research focuses on how Black Majority Church leaders can influence health behaviours and build healthier futures.
