Healing the Nervous System with Somatics and Self-Care with Victoria Albina

In this insightful episode, we dive deep into the complex relationship between burnout and the nervous system with our guest, Victoria Albina (she/her), a Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, and Breathwork Meditation Guide. With over 20 years of experience in health and wellness, Victoria has a passion for helping humans socialized as women realize that they are their own best healers by reconnecting with their bodies and minds.

Victoria shares her personal journey from struggling with chronic health issues to becoming an expert in public health, functional medicine, and somatics. We discuss the early signs of burnout, the impact of these behavioral patterns on mental and physical health, and practical strategies for healing. Whether you're dealing with chronic stress, exhaustion, or just want to deepen your understanding of holistic health, this episode offers valuable tools and wisdom.
