Laura Northrup: On Building a Values-Driven Healing Practice in a Profit-Driven World

Being a healer today often means navigating complexities and challenges. Healers of all modalities can feel sidelined, underfunded, or delegitimized within a Western capitalist framework.

In this episode, licensed psychologist and CIIS faculty Elizabeth Markle talks with somatic psychotherapist, author, and podcaster Laura Mae Northrup about her latest book, Radical Healership, in which Laura offers an authentic, spiritually grounded approach to finding a true path to working in a healing profession.

This episode was recorded during a live online event on March 2nd, 2022. A transcript is available at ciispod.com.
