We've got a special treat today! This is my first guest interview on the podcast. I speak with Maggie Johns, owner of Tacit Touch Somatic Therapy. We talk about the Transformative Touch method of somatic therapy as a healing modality, the mind body connection (from Western and Eastern/Reiki/Ayurvedic perspectives), and Maggie's experiences with learning to let go of shame resulting from her Southern Baptist upbringing. Maggie is not a member of the LGBTQ community, but she is an ally and mom to the community! Her experiences with faith are also something a lot of us in the Queer community share, which is one of the reasons I invited her to speak on the podcast.
You can find Maggie and her business Tacit Touch here: https://www.tacittouch.com And for inquiries into seeing her as a client, she can be reached at tacittouchtherapy@gmail.com
