The Conscious Action Podcast by Brian Berneman
Episode 184 with Valeria Sumar - Reconnecting with your body's wisdom
On this episode we talk with Valeria Sumar, a Nutritionist and Dietitian specialized in Women’s Health, menstrual health educator, Womb massage practitioner, body awareness and intuitive eating therapist, and trauma-informed practitioner.
Valeria shares her journey from studying nutrition to exploring embodiment practices and her own healing process.
Brian and Valeria emphasize the importance of reconnecting with the body and honoring its wisdom.
Challenges of disconnection from the body:
How societal and cultural norms have led many people, especially women, to become disconnected from their bodies. They explore the impacts this can have on physical and mental health, as well as the challenges in reestablishing that connection.
The significance of menstrual cycles:
Valeria delves into the historical and cultural context around menstrual cycles, highlighting how they have often been stigmatized or misunderstood. She emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with and honoring the cyclical nature of the female body, and provides practical tips for women to start charting their cycles.
Holistic approach to health and wellness:
Valeria and Brian discuss the limitations of the conventional medical system in addressing women's health concerns, and the value of taking a more holistic, embodied approach that integrates ancient wisdom with modern science. They emphasize the need for self-compassion and listening to the body's signals.
Valeria's mission is to guide women through the intimate, challenging, and profound passages of life in relation to health and well-being. She uses a compassionate approach through education, embodiment, empowerment, and motivation to health and connection with the body.
She uses a kind and inclusive approach for all BODIES. Focuses on women's health and regaining their freedom, considering the body as a whole—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The body holds memory, experiences, and beliefs, which we must consider when accompanying individuals so that we can live in enjoyment of health.
