In this episode, you're going to learn why Dr. Stephanie transitioned her practice from functional medicine to emotional and trauma healing, how childhood experiences shape lifelong health patterns, the link between chronic conditions like autoimmunity and emotional suppression, why major life transitions often surface unprocessed emotions, and how Dr. Stephanie personally navigated these challenges to better support her clients.


Dr. Stephanie Davis, DC, MS (c) has been in the health world for over 25 years as a microbiologist, functional medicine doctor, research consultant and trauma healer. Her own healing journey guided her experience and desire for vibrant health after realizing that there was a missing piece in overcoming her autoimmune issues and those of her patients- the emotional and traumatic piece. In her practice, she works with various methods including breathwork, neuroplasticity, HeartMath and Holographic Manipulation Therapy (HMT). Being trained and certified in many modalities, she truly can address the triad of mind, body, and spirit.
