🌿 Body Wisdom Rising

A podcast for the path of remembrance, regulation, and reclamation.

Hosted by holistic recovery mentor and somatic practitioner Alyssa Stefanson, Body Wisdom Rising is a space for those walking the wild edge of healing — where science meets soul, and where we remember that our bodies were never the problem, they were the compass.

This show weaves together the latest insights in nervous system science, trauma-informed care, addiction recovery, and somatic practice, alongside conversations on rewilding, earth-based ritual, and ancestral reconnection.

You’ll hear from leading experts, embodied practitioners, and those with lived experience — people who carry hard-won wisdom from the depths of their own healing journeys.

Together, we explore what it means to recover, to remember, and to rise — not through systems of control, but through deeper connection to body, land, spirit, and community.

If you’re on a path of recovery, reclamation, or awakening…

If you’re ready to rise — rooted, regulated, and radically in tune with your own body wisdom — this space is for you.
