At 30, Chanel was living with a “trio” of autoimmune conditions: Ulcerative Colitis, Type 1 Autoimmune Hepatitis, and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, plus severe iron deficiency and exhaustion.

After years of trying everything from holistic approaches to strict diets, she finally surrendered to medication… and still felt something was missing.

In this episode, I talk with Chanel, a 30‑year‑old community support worker from New Zealand, who shares how years of flares, hospitalisation, very high liver enzymes, low iron and a background in holistic medicine led to a crisis point where conventional meds were necessary—but still didn’t feel like the full answer.

Inside six weeks of the Release Process®, Chanel experienced:

• Normalised systemic inflammation, iron and hemoglobin
• A significant drop in liver enzymes
• A complete shift in how she sees medication, boundaries, relationships and her own leadership

This conversation explores how processing long‑held emotions changed not only Chanel’s inner world, but also her health markers, work opportunities and sense of purpose.

In this episode, I explore decompensation—what happens when the body and emotional system can no longer keep compensating and finally start to unravel. Drawing on stories from my osteopathy days and my Release course, I show how physical symptoms and emotional states are often deeply linked, and why going “too hard, too fast” with treatment or emotional work can sometimes make things worse before it gets better.

In this episode, we cover:

• What decompensation is on a physical and emotional level
• How the body stores and compensates for unprocessed emotions
• Why symptoms often appear only when your “emotional cup” is full
• How physical issues (like back or hip stiffness) can hide deeper root causes
• A case where mid–lower back tightness revealed a hip and nerve issue
• A case where hip dysfunction was compensating for old, unresolved anxiety
• Why emotional work needs to be paced to your capacity, not rushed
• The importance of support when you start working at the emotional root level

In this episode, I speak with Louise, an Australian regulatory professional, Air Force reservist and devoted dog mum. Louise shares how discovering Release through a colleague and saying “yes” to the program — despite doubts around time and money — coincided with unexpected promotions, significant pay rises, and deeper ease in her relationship.

We explore how processing emotions and improving communication changed the way Louise shows up at work, negotiates, relates to her partner, and holds a clear vision for her dream home and future.
