#058: Healing Your Body Through Thyroid Yoga and Creating Powerful Daily Rituals with Fern Olivia

We’re so honored to welcome internationally acclaimed teacher and speaker, Fern Olivia. She’s the real deal - the goddess of healing. 

Before Fern discovered her calling, she worked in New York City’s finance industry. On the brink of burnout, her body caught up with her lifestyle. After fainting in the subway on her way home from work, she knew something had to change. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Hypothyroid Disease. Fern saw a plethora of doctors, but to no avail. She didn’t want to become a victim to her illness, so she decided to take matters into her own hands.

Fern left the corporate world to rediscover and expand her love for the practice of yoga. At the same time, she became a Holistic Health coach at the Institute for Integrative Health and Nutrition. Fern created rituals that helped her strengthen her intuitive powers and infuse her life with an array of wellness practices. Not only did her rituals heal body, mind and spirit, but they also empowered her to find her voice as a lightworker and guide. 

Combining her education in Biomedical Engineering with her studies in Yoga and Integrative Nutrition, Fern created Thyroid Yoga®, a unique approach to supporting thyroid health that has changed the lives of thousands of women and men around the world. Starting out as an online course on Mindbodygreen, Thyroid Yoga has transformed into a yoga teacher training and retreat in Costa Rica. Not only does Thyroid Yoga help those with struggling with autoimmune disorders, but many other illnesses as well because it resets the glandular system through traditional yogic practices, mantra, essential oils, breathwork and functional medicine. Through Thyroid Yoga, Fern hopes students learn to fearlessly trust themselves, to deeply know themselves and to boundlessly free themselves, so they can become their own intuitive healers.

 

We talk about:

  • How Fern’s autoimmune disorder taught her to reconnect with her intuitive powers
  • What is Thyroid Yoga
  • The importance of creating powerful rituals to heal mind, body and spirit
  • Reframing society’s perception of competition and embracing your unique characteristics
  • Essential practices we can all incorporate into our spiritual toolbox to help us take risks, trust and surrender
