How I Healed Podcast

Romy inherited a love of dance from her matrilineal line. She has been studying ballet since childhood and became a dance teacher specializing in ballet and traditional African dance. Her business was successful, and yet she knew that there was a block preventing her from fully embodying all the power available to her in her body, in her relationships, and in her business. She attributed this block to her solar plexus, the chakra associated with will and dynamism.

Romy has always been careful about what she puts in her body. But after praying for solar plexus healing, she did something totally out of character and took Neem oil that was recommended to her, without doing the research she typically would. High doses of neem over time led to liver failure, and yet she felt confidence and peace that the process was unfolding exactly as it was meant to in order to heal her solar plexus: afterall, the liver and spleen (instinct) are associated with this energy center. On the other side of this experience she was able to access emotions that she previously internalized and repressed.

Now, her power is unlocked, and it’s transformed the way she shows up as a dance teacher. Her offering is imbued with magic, and she holds a space that allows her students to step more fully into their own power, too.
