    EP 253: Women's Care Back in Women's Hands – Sobadas, the Womb Continuum, and the Power of Reparative Touch with Andrea Terrones
    2026/10/18
    In this episode, Kimberly speaks with Andrea Terrones, founder and lead teacher of Ma School and of Ma, her women's health and bodywork practice in Valle de Bravo, Mexico. Andrea traces her path from doula work, where she saw a gap in postpartum care, through a decade of seeking out traditional Mexican midwives and sobadoras, internal pelvic work, and scar tissue training, to building the long-form school she wishes had existed when she started. They talk about sobadas as lifelong community care, her teachers who saw every girl monthly from her first bleed to her deathbed, and what it means to learn a tradition's practices with respect rather than extraction. Kimberly lays out the professional landscape for anyone who wants to work with the pelvis, birth, and women's health, and why two years of hands-on training builds what a weekend cannot. They discuss the normalization of prolapse and incontinence, postpartum depression as incomplete physiological recovery, the shame that keeps women from looking at their own bodies, and why the field needs collaboration rather than competition. They close on a shared vision: a practitioner in every town, and women's care back in women's hands. Bio Andrea Terrones is the founder and lead teacher of Ma School and of Ma, her women's health and bodywork practice based in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, working with women worldwide. She left medical school in search of a medicine that could hold the whole body, and spent more than a decade apprenticing with traditional midwives, sobadoras, and curanderas across Mexico, a path that led her back to the matriarchal lineage of Juchitán, Oaxaca, that she comes from through her grandmothers. She began her career as a doula and specialized for many years in postpartum care, pairing traditional Mexican medicine with formal training in pelvic bodywork, body-mind psychotherapy, and functional medicine and nutrition. Her work brings together hands-on work in the pelvis, womb, and abdomen, functional nutrition, somatic practice, and ceremony. Founded in 2023, Ma School offers a two-year certification for Womb Continuum Practitioners and has trained more than 70 women from over 15 countries. She is a mother of two. What She Shares The postpartum gap that set her searching for teachers for nearly a decade Grieving the support she knew was possible but could not receive in her own postpartum Sobadas, the traditional Mexican bodywork that realigns the organs and the womb How internal pelvic work, fascia, and scar tissue work joined her practice Why weekend trainings left her and other women unsure of their hands Her teachers as community holders, tending girls monthly from first bleed to deathbed What her teachers said when she asked permission to teach their work Why being trained in a circle of women heals the sister wound How the two-year program is structured, and why it is built for in-person practice Why the field needs more teachers and more practitioners, not fewer What You'll Hear Kimberly on the professional paths open to people who want to work with birth and the pelvis Sexological bodywork, STREAM, and Holistic Pelvic Care: what each offers and what is missing Why a two-year training is not too long for someone with no touch background Kimberly's 35-minute session that resolved a new mother's tailbone pain Advanced doula training without the on-call life Prolapse and diastasis as diagnoses no one actually looked for Cultural appropriation, cultural continuity, and the problem with learning rebozo in a weekend Womb work traditions in Thailand, India, and the Philippines Kimberly's 800 sessions in three years and the waiting lists that followed Competition, proprietary attitudes, and the case for standing shoulder to shoulder How hands-on work changes the practitioner's own anxiety, depression, and isolation The myth of inevitable prolapse, and studies that normalize decline Postpartum depression as incomplete physiological recovery The siloed care that sends a crying postpartum woman from PT to psychotherapy and back Why so many women have never looked at their own vulva What Kimberly will teach in the training: intakes, session framing, and the nervous system in the tissues Dates, retreats, and how to apply Resources Website (Ma School): https://maschool.co Apply: https://form.typeform.com/to/PBmpdC4P Practitioner Directory: https://maschool.co/directory Next cohort: Begins March 2027.

  • EP 253: Season of the Witch – Inner Authority, Menopause as Initiation, and Learning to See in the Dark with Dr. Ellen Vora

    EP 253: Season of the Witch – Inner Authority, Menopause as Initiation, and Learning to See in the Dark with Dr. Ellen Vora
    2026/10/11
    In this episode, Kimberly speaks with Dr. Ellen Vora, holistic psychiatrist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, and author of The Anatomy of Anxiety, on the eve of her new book, Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist's Case for Magic. They begin with perception: how Ellen's credentials serve as a platform from which to question conventional medicine, and how loss, not training, is what gave her any authority of her own. Ellen explains why the title came to her in prayer, and why she expects criticism from both ends of the witchy spectrum. Speaking in the wake of the Lindsay Clancy trial, they look at how female life thresholds have been psychiatrized, what an unsupported postpartum mother actually needs, and why a prescription is often the only tool left in the room. Kimberly names the pattern of exceptions becoming rules across birth, fertility, and mental health. They turn to rites of passage and the communities that can sit with big emotions. They then turn to menopause, where Ellen offers her theory that menopausal symptoms borrow the body's postpartum software, and Kimberly describes her own transition as a portal of learning to see in the dark. They close on information overload, wearables and the atrophy of listening, Ellen's choice to join a national conversation on psychiatric medication, and what it means to stay purple. Bio Ellen Vora, MD, is a holistic psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher. She received her B.A. in English from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University, and she is board-certified in psychiatry and integrative holistic medicine. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health, considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root, with a focus on depression, anxiety, insomnia, women's mental health, and medication withdrawal support. She is the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response, and of Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist's Case for Magic (Random House, October 2026), which offers five practices for reclaiming the full spectrum of our intelligence: embodiment, presence, valuing the yin, being open to mystery, and serving the collective. She lives in New York City with her husband and daughter. What She Shares Why her medical credentials exist so she can say "that's not the whole story" How loss, including losing her parents and pregnancy losses, gave her more authority than any training How the title Season of the Witch arrived through prayer, and why it wasn't up for negotiation What an unsupported postpartum mother needs, and why a prescription is so often what she gets The hidden costs of psychiatric medication: dependence, interdose withdrawal, depersonalization, and akathisia Rites of passage as the ground where inner authority and discernment are built Her theory of menopause as a medical anomaly, and why symptoms may borrow from the postpartum blueprint Learning to see in the dark as the value older women hold for the culture Why constant listening to the body outperforms any formula, macro, or wearable Taking work decisions to spirit, and being socially blind enough to accept the mission What You'll Hear Kimberly and Ellen as Harper Wave bookmates, and two books with "season" in the title Flossing the edge between being responsible to authority and handing people their own "Look at me, I'm a witch" versus "look at you, you're a witch" Expecting criticism from both the Christian and Wiccan ends of the spectrum What people actually mean when they say "mental health" The Lindsay Clancy trial and the push for more postpartum screening Pain versus suffering, and the unnecessary suffering in how mental health care is applied Kimberly on intervention, exceptions becoming rules, and IVF without eroticism "Are you in therapy?" as a box to check Why we apologize for crying, and what it would mean to pull up a chair instead Kimberly's menopause: hot flashes, night waking, and a portal of life review The orca grandmother effect and why elders need the maiden and mother energy Is there a flaw in the female design, or in the male one? Trading algorithms for a "dolphin phone" Skipping heavy weights for an Epsom salt bath on the heaviest day of her period The RFK Jr. interview, the SSRI roundtable, and Laura Delano's Unshrunk Being purple, and why new voices at the policy table give Ellen hope Resources Website: https://ellenvora.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellenvoramd/ (@ellenvoramd) Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist's Case for Magic (Random House, October 13, 2026): https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/776546/season-of-the-witch-by-ellen-vora-md/ The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-anatomy-of-anxiety-ellen-vora Book tour and events: https://ellenvora.com/book-tour/

  • EP 252: Coming Home – Ancestral Healing, Emergency Medicine, and Advocating from a Regulated Place with Dr. Vanessa Calderón

    EP 252: Coming Home – Ancestral Healing, Emergency Medicine, and Advocating from a Regulated Place with Dr. Vanessa Calderón
    2026/10/05
    In this episode, Kimberly speaks with Dr. Vanessa Calderón, an emergency physician, master executive coach, and healer from a lineage of ancestral healers in Mexico and El Salvador. Introduced by an ER doctor Kimberly met on a flight, Vanessa traces her path from the five-year-old who dreamed of being a missionary doctor, through healthcare access activism and UCLA medical school, to the emergency room, where diagnoses like "abdominal pain, not otherwise specified" showed her the limits of Western medicine. She describes the voice that told her, mid-run on a Northern California beach, that it was time to come home, and the decade of apprenticeship with Latin American healers that followed. They talk about what med school does to the nervous system, the new language of well-being entering medical training, and the pain that told her to step away from the ER for a season. At the heart of the conversation is a practical question for anyone who listens to their body and still needs a doctor: how to advocate for yourself from regulation rather than fear. They close on rewilding, motherhood, Vanessa's vision of medicine built on power with rather than power over, and how the current framing of menopause reflects a broader shift in consciousness. Bio Dr. Vanessa Calderón is a Harvard graduate and board-certified emergency physician, a Master Executive Coach, and a Neuroplasticity Trainer with more than 20 years of leadership experience and a decade of business development expertise. A first-generation Latina from a long line of ancestral healers, she apprenticed directly with Indigenous healers of Mexico and Central America. Through Calderón Co., she coaches physicians, executives, and mission-driven leaders, weaving leadership and business strategy with nervous system work, identity work, and ancestral wisdom so they can create meaningful impact without sacrificing their health, relationships, or sense of self. She also leads Resourced Wealth, a six-week, healing-centered program on money, power, and capacity. She is the host of The Authentic Path podcast, which explores the intersection of leadership, performance science, and ancient wisdom. She continues to practice emergency medicine and lives in Atlanta with her family. What She Shares How a lineage of Mexican and Salvadoran healers, and a teenage rejection of them, led her into Western medicine Why "abdominal pain, not otherwise specified" became the crack in her faith in the system The voice on a beach run that told her it was time to come home Building a meditation practice in residency, one minute at a time What medical training does to the nervous system, and how the language of well-being is changing it The attending who taught her that a patient knows their body better than the doctor does The left wrist pain that told her to step away from the ER, and how she listened Why the patient-physician relationship should be a partnership, and when to walk away from one How to advocate for yourself from regulation instead of fear Rewilding as coming home to yourself and to everything around you Her vision of medicine built on power with rather than power over What You'll Hear How a chance first-class seat brought Kimberly and Vanessa together The five-year-old who wanted to be a missionary doctor Christianity, shame, and women's bodies, and what she kept from her upbringing Whether anything in the core medical curriculum could make room for trauma and energetics Kimberly on Brazil's cesarean culture and doctors who were never taught vaginal birth Do doctors have to quit medicine to practice in line with their values? Kimberly's doula years and how defensive boundaries escalate a birth room Recognizing your own signs of dysregulation before you walk into an appointment Small, human requests in the exam room: eye contact, warm hands, a pause Setting an intention for the outcome you want before you see the doctor How motherhood changed the way she treats children and parents in the ER The "menopause mafia," the hormone debate, and a shift in collective consciousness Resources Website (Calderón Co.): https://www.calderonco.org Podcast, The Authentic Path: https://www.theauthenticpathpodcast.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1807391306 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0t14N6wKrEvh3MsfklhGMn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessacalderonmd/ (@vanessacalderonmd) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vanessacalderonmd/ Resourced Wealth (six-week program): https://www.calderonco.org/resourced-wealth
