In this week's episode of Holistic Health with Melissa , Melissa has the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Haley Turpin, a nervous-system-focused chiropractor and breathwork facilitator in Colorado, for a conversation about trauma, nervous system healing, and the mind-body connection. Dr. Haley shares how the unexpected loss of her mother led her to understand healing in a much deeper way. She explains how grief affected her body, her identity, her relationships, and her capacity, and why mindset alone was not enough. Together, Melissa and Dr. Haley talk about what happens when the body has been living in survival mode, why stillness can feel so hard, and how safety becomes the starting point for true healing. They also explore the difference between nervous system healing and nervous system regulation, how to recognize where you are in your healing journey, and how chiropractic care can support communication between the brain, spine, and body. You'll hear more about: How grief and trauma affect the nervous system What nervous system capacity means Why safety matters in healing How breathwork and chiropractic care can support the body Healing is always possible, and your body is not working against you. It may simply be asking for safety, support, and a new way forward.
