Episode 166 - How to Get Your Spark Back. The Energetics of Healing, Vitality and Balancing Creativity with Dani May Naturopathy
Vitality is often overlooked in conversations about health. Instead of focusing on building energy and resilience, many approaches centre on fixing symptoms once something has already gone wrong. In this episode, naturopath Dani May shares her perspective on why vitality should be the starting point for wellbeing.
Dani explains how energetic alignment shows up in her naturopathic practice and how supporting the nervous system, creative expression and daily energy levels can change how women experience both health and work. The conversation also explores the emotional side of running a wellbeing practice, including separating your identity from your business and developing resilience when things feel personal.
You’ll also hear about Dani’s path to creating her own voice in naturopathy, why structure can support creative freedom, and how building simple systems in business can give practitioners more space to focus on what they care about most.
