Episode notes

Welcome back to the “Hey, Wait” Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. Each episode we’ll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

In today’s episode, Jay Moon Fields is joined by Somatic Therapist, Social Worker, and Founder of Somatic Therapy Partners, Maira Holzmann. Maira’s work with Somatic and Psychedelic Therapy brings her clients to incredible breakthroughs, many of whom have struggled to find help through traditional therapeutic outlets.

Maira’s “Hey, Wait” moment came when she was driving through a fancy neighborhood and felt a whisper suggesting “You Belong Here.” She grew up as an immigrant, and constantly felt the desire to be a person of status within society. It was when she finally felt comfortable in herself, in her family, and in her surroundings, that she was truly able to embrace her wisdom and her career.

Understanding Somatic Therapy goes hand in hand with saying “Hey, Wait.” As soon as you are able to pause and soften your body, you are totally able to refocus your mind, reclaim your moment, and move into a more productive headspace. In an absolutely can’t miss episode, you’ll get a collection of tips that you can immediately implement into your own “Hey, Wait” journey, such as “Joy Spotting,” “Facial Softening,” and more.
