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.

Epi 20: “Sacred Reciprocity”

In this powerful episode of The Rebel Clinicians, Alex and John tackle a topic that's often loaded for healers and therapists: money. What does it mean to be paid for sacred work? How do we reconcile our desire to help others with the need to receive compensation?

Together, your hosts examine the emotional and energetic blocks--especially around worth and value--that can hold practitioners back from allowing abundance into their lives. Alex introduces the concept of "sacred reciprocity," offering a reframe that positions the healer-client relationship as an energetic exchange, rather than a simple transaction.

With honesty and vulnerability, both John and Alex share personal stories about their own evolving relationships with money and what it's taken to align their spiritual and professional paths.

This conversation invites listeners to explore their own beliefs around money and consider: What would it look like if you received compensation as a sacred reflection of the work you give to the world?

Epi 19: “Treating the Healing Arts as a Sacred Practice”

In this week's episode of The Rebel Clinicians, Alex and John explore what it means to approach your healing work as a sacred practice rather than simply going through the motions. They unpack the difference between "dialing it in" and "doing Divine work", challenging listeners to reflect on their own approach to therapy, healing, and personal growth.

Through personal stories and experiences, Alex and John share how they came to recognize their work as a true calling--why they can confidently say, "This is the work I am supposed to be doing." They also offer practical insights on how you, too, can assess whether your healing practice aligns with your purpose and deeper spiritual path.

This episode was an eye-opening journey for both hosts, and they invite you to join them in asking: Are you doing Divine and sacred work?

Epi 18: “The Magic Within: Spells, Rituals, and Transformation”

In this spellbinding episode of The Rebel Clinicians, Alex and John explore the fascinating world of magic and spell-casting--not the Hollywood fantasy version, but the real-life power of intention, ritual, and transformation. They unpack the myths surrounding witches and wizards, separating fiction from the tangible ways magic manifests in daily life, therapy, and healing practices.

Through compelling examples, they reveal how spells--whether through words, symbols, or action--can be used to create meaningful shifts in both professional and personal settings. What are the key elements of a spell? How do you harness your own unique magic as a healer, therapist, or seeker? This episode invites you to recognize and reclaim the powerful energies you already possess.

Epi 17: “Crown Connection: Unlocking the 7th Chakra”

In the final installment of the Rebel Clinicians Chakra Series, Alex and John turn their focus to the 7th Chakra--the Crown Chakra, the gateway to Divine connection and Universal Consciousness. They explore what it means to cultivate awareness of this energy center, how it influences spiritual insight, and practical ways to strengthen one's connection to higher wisdom.

John shares a recent experience with a shaman that shed new light on the vibrational power of the chakras, while Alex introduces TWO surprise chakras that challenge conventional teachings. Their conversation is inspired by the work of Alberto Villoldo, PhD, author of Shaman, Healer, Sage, and offers fresh perspectives on energy, healing, and personal transformation.

Make sure to listen until the very end--there are revelations you won't want to miss!

Epi 16: “Chakras 5 & 6 -- Voice, Truth & Intuition”

In this episode of Rebel Clinicians, John and Alex continue their exploration of the chakra system, focusing on the Throat (5th) and Third Eye (6th) Chakras--two powerful energy centers that bridge communication and intuition.

🌀 The Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) governs self-expression, authentic communication, and the ability to speak your truth. It also serves as the dividing point between the earthly and the spiritual chakras, making it essential for balancing both physical and energetic well-being.

🔮 The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) is the seat of intuition, inner wisdom, and perception beyond the physical world. It helps us see beyond surface reality, guiding us toward deeper insight and clarity in our personal and professional lives.

In this conversation, we explore:

💬 How blockages in the Throat Chakra affect communication and self-expression

👁️ The role of the Third Eye Chakra in strengthening intuition and decision-making

⚡ Practical tools--mindfulness, sound healing, and movement--to keep these energy centers balanced

🛠 How clinicians and healers can use this knowledge to support their clients
