What if your symptoms were communication — not punishment?
In this powerful episode of Willow Healing Matters, Dayna Wylder joins Catherine Crestani for a deep conversation on multiple sclerosis (MS), trauma, nervous system healing, intuition, energy medicine, and the mind-body connection.
After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and told her condition was incurable, Dayna chose a different path — one that led her into energy healing, somatic awareness, sound healing, nervous system regulation, yogic philosophy, and the five koshas.
Together, Catherine and Dayna explore:
✨ How trauma and chronic stress manifest in the body✨ Why symptoms can be messages from the body✨ Nervous system dysregulation and autoimmune illness✨ The connection between emotions, intuition, and physical health✨ Sound healing, frequency healing, and energy medicine✨ Learning to set boundaries before the body forces you to✨ Manifestation, alignment, and following your inner guidance✨ How healing becomes possible when we reconnect mind, body, and soul

✨ She was struck by lightning… and everything changed.
In this deeply expansive episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with intuitive reader, Akashic Records reader, conscious channel, and shamanic practitioner Michele Lundstrom from Luminous Ignus to explore the profound spiritual awakening that followed a near-death lightning strike experience.
After being clinically without a heartbeat for several minutes, Michele shares how her psychic gifts intensified dramatically — opening deeper connections with spirit, the elemental realms, nature consciousness, mushrooms, fairies, dragons, and the Earth itself.
Together, Catherine and Michele dive into:⚡ Spiritual awakenings & energetic initiations⚡ Near-death experiences & consciousness expansion⚡ Akashic Records & intuitive channeling⚡ Fairies, elementals & nature spirits⚡ The intelligence of mushrooms & the mycelium network⚡ Shadow work, healing & emotional triggers⚡ Earth grids, Gaia consciousness & energetic stewardship⚡ Staying neutral during collective fear & chaos⚡ Reconnecting with nature & ancient wisdom
