Chiropractor Dr. Kerry Lilley’s podcasts  https://m.youtube.com/@HealthyByChoicePodcast

Dr. Kerry and her journey to becoming interested in the holistic approach to health and wellness and the preventative path to pain-free living.  She says: “Natural solutions to everything. Health(y) is a choice. You Hold the Power to Heal.”

In Dr. Kerry’s first podcast… at 13 minutes and 10 seconds into the podcast … ” ….I always believed that there is a natural solution or treatment to anything having to do with the body…   I truly believe that disease starts in the gut… and prevention is always the strongest medicine… what that has in common with chiropractic … is prevention”

Dr. Kerry Lilley has 2 offices – in Benicia and in El Cerrito, California https://chiropracticbenicia.com/

Dr. Amy Grace Lam https://www.vibrationalenergywellness.com/ says:

“Through energy psychology, we can quickly assess these holding patterns, release what you are ready to let go of, rewire your brain for new patterns, and reconnect you to your core self.”

Stephanie Wilger says:

“As an internal organ and reproductive organ specialist, I feel the way your internal organs, tissues, fluids, energy, bones are responding, and gently assist to coordinate them for better communication and function.  You relax and let go of tensions, stored emotions, becoming more vibrant, more yourself.  Adhesions and scar tissue:  from C-sections, surgery, accidents, are also released for more energy flow and movement.”

Dr. Victoria Sweet says:

“I went to Stanford and majored in mathematics, minored in classics. I was always split between science and the humanities. Then I started a PhD program at Harvard in psychology, but realized that medicine would work better for me than basic research. Because to be a good doctor you have to be a scientific humanist and a humanistic scientist.

https://www.victoriasweet.com/ On Dr. Sweet’s website home page, look for the recording of  her 15-minute-and-20-second presentation: ”Dr. Sweet at the Guggenheim Museum on December 15, 2016, addressing healthcare executives.” (What a spellbinding talk! I learned what “veriditas” is)

Dr. Victoria Sweet is the author of:

Slow Medicine: The Way to Healing

God’s Hotel: A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine

“I offer a body-based approach for healing and wellness. My commitment is to meet you where you are; to help you experience something new and different from your usual patterns; to create the right conditions for shifts to occur that reflect ease, harmony and wholeness . I enjoy providing the needed support for this process. Together, we’ll find the healing path with the essential stepping-stones of respect, safety, and awareness.

“Connecting to your body and its wealth of intelligence and wisdom is the portal to living Life deeply and authentically.

“I’m honored to be part of your Journey towards more capacity for contentment, function and aliveness.”

My blog post “Brain / Pain Scientist Professor Lorimer Moseley uses humor to help us understand Dark Side of Pain”

https://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/brain-pain-scientist-professor-lorimer-moseley-uses-humor-to-help-us-understand-dark-side-of-pain/

contains my notes from –

“Getting a grip on pain and the brain – Professor Lorimer Moseley – Successful Ageing Seminar 2013?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p6sbi_0lLc

Professor Lorimer Moseley says:

“What we now understand about pain.

“The mechanisms that cause us to change in a good way can also cause us to change in a way that makes our lives more difficult and more unpleasant.

“If you have a brain, you will experience pain. If you don’t have a brain, you won’t experience pain.

“We feel pain in our body, and, we feel it in a particular location, but, it is impossible to feel pain without a brain, and, it is completely possible to feel pain without the body part.”

 *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Danielle Rosenman, M.D. says:

“The brain changes itself constantly throughout our entire lives. All of our experience changes the brain.

“Everything that we experience, think, feel, believe, and learn changes the physical structure of the brain, the chemicals in the brain, and electricity in the brain.

“This ability of the brain to change is called neuroplasticity.

“Neuroplasticity lets us learn through our entire lives.  The more often we repeat a task, the better we learn it. Repetition helps us learn things like reading, adding numbers, or playing a musical instrument. We often call this type of learning ‘practice’.”

During neuroplasticity coaching, Dr. Danielle Rosenman instructs:  “Smile for yourself and talk out loud to your brain. When you learn to talk to your brain, you are opening up a new life.”

Loduskia (Dusky) Pierce, LMFT says:

Hi I’m Dusky. Welcome to my world of wonders.

I’m so glad to share with you some discoveries about our planet, its inhabitants and the universe that I have found to be awesome, funny, or just plain weird.

Did you know that spending time feeling appreciation or amusement is good for us? The more we purposely tune into moments of positive experience, the easier it becomes to notice them because we have literally made changes in our brain circuitry. This website is my way to immerse my brain in wondrous things.

As a psychotherapist with an office in Oakland, California and also seeing clients on Zoom, every day I’m aware of the impact that brain circuitry makes, creating our habits of mind and feelings. Learn more about my therapy practice.

Otherwise, have a great time wandering through the world’s wonders.

Enjoy!

Coach Teresa, how do I continue promoting myself after an event or a book signing or a reading?

Here’s my answer:

You’ve spent weeks, maybe even months, publicizing your event.  You deliver the event (and I hope you had fun), then you, the audience, everyone involved in coordination . . .  you all go home or on to another event. Have you forgotten something? That something is “follow up” work.  Who did you talk to at the event?  What did you promise? Below is an example – how to follow up. Angela Pang and her coworkers at AsianWeek work extremely hard each year orchestrating the Asian Heritage Street Celebration.  This is my Email to her; I cc’ed my booth partners Margie Yee Webb and Patricia Tsang, M.D.

May 22, 2011

Dear Angela,

If you need quotes from us for post-event newsletter . . . here goes;  also, 3 photos attached.

Who were the authors at this year’s AHSC? Margie Yee Webb (Cat Mulan’s Mindful Musings: Insight and Inspiration for a Wonderful Life), Teresa LeYung Ryan (Love Made of Heart; Build Your Writer’s Platform & Fanbase In 22 Days), and Patricia Tsang, M.D. (Optimal Healing: A Guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine).  Margie Yee Webb says: “California Writers Club is proud to once again be part of the Asian Heritage Street Celebration to encourage everyone to write their stories.  We are also pleased to support schools through donations to the School Raffle Program.” Teresa LeYung Ryan says: “I thank Margie and Asian-Week Foundation for re-connecting me to the Asian-American community. My third year at AHSC, I had so much fun with my friends.”  Patricia Tsang, M.D. says: “A street fair with food, culture, art, literature, martial arts, health science, and more. What can be more enticing to an Asian?  The celebration gave me a chance to reconnect with my roots as well as share information about my book.”

Angela, thanks again for making our experience enjoyable!   Margie & Pat, I’ll email you more photos later 

Sincerely,

Coach Teresa LeYung Ryan  on facebook!

You notice how I embedded our URLs in our names? (so that if Angela or AsianWeek e-newsletter readers want to read more about us and California Writers Club. . . they’d be taken to our websites).  By the way, my two booth partners and I are also members of Women’s National Book Association -San Francisco Chapter.

Coach Teresa here has a lot of follow-up emails to send and photos to resize and rename. To see a partial list of people I met at the Asian Heritage Street Celebration, please go to my May 22, 2011 post . Thanks.

Have fun building your writer’s platform!
