About Christine Marie Aitchison: Christine Marie is a trauma-informed healer, ceremonial guide, and founder of Soul Medicine. With a background in nursing and certifications in Celtic Shamanism and Reiki, she brings a rare blend of clinical grounding and sacred wisdom to her work. Christine helps people move from victimhood to empowerment using energy healing, ritual, and plant medicine, and she’s the author of Grieve with Guidance—a deeply supportive book for navigating loss through spiritual frameworks and ceremony. Today, Christine joins us to explore how true healing begins when we speak, feel, and live from authenticity rather than our trauma story. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Christine Marie Aitchison discuss: Near-death experiences and their transformative impact The intersection of spirituality and holistic healing Emotional and ancestral grief as pathways to self-awareness Transitioning from traditional nursing to intuitive healing practices The ongoing journey of self-discovery and energetic boundaries Key Takeaways: Christine’s near-death experience as a child became the catalyst for her lifelong commitment to bring light and healing into the world. Her transition from traditional nursing to holistic healing reveals the importance of aligning one’s work with deeper personal values. Create space for ongoing personal inner work, recognizing that self-healing is a continuous journey of understanding and compassion. When pain or grief arises, approach it with curiosity instead of resistance to uncover its hidden lessons for growth. "It’s been a really beautiful challenge to breathe light and love back into my bones, back into my body.” — Christine Marie Aitchison Connect with Christine Marie Aitchison:  Website: https://www.christinemarieheals.com/ Books: https://www.christinemarieheals.com/books LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinemarieheals/ Substack/Newsletter: https://christinemarieheals.substack.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christinemarieheals/
