On episode 10 of my Owning HER Health podcast we opened up my Winter Season with one of my colleagues who has one hell of #HERstory.

Dr Julie's story will inspire and also redefine success for you!

My friend and integrative colleague, Dr Julie Granger doesn’t just treat athletes – she is one. The one time All-ACC Honor Roll Recipient was a member of the Division 1 Women’s Varsity Swimming and Diving Program at Duke University but sustained a career-ending shoulder injury and her subsequent year in physical therapy at Duke ultimately solidified Julie’s career path. In 2012, Julie received her board certification Sports Physical Therapy from the American Board...

 Om Namah Shivaya is a very popular mantra in yogic studies.

MY PERSPECTIVE OF DIRECT ACCESS MEANS FREEDOM.
Back in 2000 or so, my vision of a very logical and brave new Orwellian world was what I saw on the horizon.  It inspired and ignited me. This was a world where pregnant women were empowered to be amazing and birth in their own way without being made into a criminal or medical diseased patient.  Here moms of all ages were enlightened on their unique role as a health leader and CEO of their family and life and where...
