7: A Guide To Ancestral Healing & Embodiment with Marika Heinrichs
Welcome to Episode 07 of Transformative Harmonics with your host Paula Scatoloni, LCSW, SEP.
In this episode, Paula is joined by Marika Heinrichs, therapist, educator, and founder of Embodied Ancestral Inquiry, for a rich conversation about ancestral healing, somatics, and community-based embodiment work. Together, they explore how sound, ritual, and nervous system science can be woven into collective spaces to address cultural disconnection and intergenerational trauma.
Marika shares her journey from community organizing into somatic practice, the importance of “yield” as a starting point for healing, and the powerful grief and reconnection that can arise when we restore our bond with the land. They also dive into the intersections of neurodivergence, sensory perception, and ancestral practices, and how these gifts can be honored rather than pathologized.
You’ll also hear about Marika’s upcoming programs, including Ancestral Embodiment and her Foundations Training in Embodied Ancestral Inquiry.
