In this episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with Xavier Roman, an energy healer whose gifts intensified after he flatlined during emergency surgery.

Parasite cleansing is one of the most talked-about topics in natural health—but what does the evidence say, and why are so many people exploring it?
In this episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with Kim Rogers, founder of RogersHood Apothecary and creator of the viral ParaFy Parasite Cleanse, to discuss her personal journey through decades of chronic illness, Lyme disease, mold exposure, endometriosis, and feeling medically abandoned.
Kim shares how those experiences led her to become a passionate advocate for health sovereignty, encouraging people to ask questions, educate themselves, and take an active role in their wellbeing alongside qualified healthcare professionals.
Together, Catherine and Kim explore parasite cleansing, environmental toxins, chronic illness, mold toxicity, Lyme disease, gut health, detoxification, patient advocacy, and what it means to reclaim your own inner authority when navigating your health journey.
Please note: This conversation shares personal experiences and opinions and is intended for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice. Always seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional regarding your individual health needs.
