Working With the Energies of Taoism, Qigong, and Tai Chi to Rebalance Ourselves and the World

You don't have to look very far to see that our World is pretty out of whack. It could use some serious rebalancing. The movement of energy through and around the body enables such rebalancing and that is the work of the wonderful, Dr. Davina! Dr. Davina is a Taoist and Shamanic acupuncturist who is also a Qigong and Tai Chi practitioner, so she knows her way around energy and shares some valuable wisdom and guidance on how to release blocks and restore wellbeing.

Show Notes

Everything is energy. Within our bodies and without, energy makes up everyone and everything. Being able to work with moving, balancing, and unblocking energy is imperative to health, wellbeing, functioning, and Life itself. This is precisely what the wonderful Dr. Davina has created a career around; focusing on the balancing and unblocking of energies. The Yin and the Yang. The expansion and contraction that is Life force. Dr. Davina is an acupuncturist, herbalist, body worker, Qigong practitioner and tai chi instructor who found her way to being a healer due to her own pain and challenges in life. On this episode, we get into a broad range of fabulous topics including how blocked energy is the source of all that ails us, the unsustainable nature of the pure Masculine, exposure to Black Magic, and coming out as our true, authentic, expressive selves. 

Dr. Davina became interested in acupuncture after her own struggle with chronic pain, when it helped her go from 3-5 severe migraines a week, to a few mild headaches a month. She graduated top of her class from Five Branches University with a Doctor of Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine specializing in pain, women’s health and fertility. Additionally, she has studied martial arts for nearly 20 years, training in tai chi with a master in China, and qigong with a master in Malaysia. From her own experience, she emphasizes the connection between mind and body, and empowers patients to take charge of their own health. She’s also a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, and provides a safe and welcoming space for everyone.

What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?

My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.

After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.

Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.

On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine

I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,

If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
