144: Bodybuilder to Medicine Woman - Overcoming the Witch Wound With Paula Nogaj
Stop trying to fix the female body… and start listening to it! In this episode, I’m joined by the beautiful Paula Nogaj — founder of Return to Her, ex-bodybuilder, fitness coach, Reiki Master, womb healer and WILD FEM yoni massage therapist. Paula was my very first 1:1 trauma-informed yoni massage trainee — and after connecting online for YEARS, we finally got to meet in person and have this delicious conversation about the medicine of touch. Inside this episode, we dive into: Paula’s journey from bodybuilder & fitness coach to womb healer and bodyworker What actually shifted for her after learning trauma-informed yoni massage Her experience of receiving yoni massage — and why being on the other side of the work matters so much ✨ What surprised her about giving yoni massage (because it’s not quite what you might imagine!) The deeper layers that can emerge when we bring physical touch, womb work, energy healing & shamanic tools together The ways women can disconnect from their bodies after experiences like abortion, shame, trauma and years of self-abandonment Why yoni massage can offer something radically different: permission not to perform How this work has transformed Paula’s own path as a medicine woman What happened to her business after completing her training — including the EPIC retreat she recently held Why Paula believes women need to experience this work And, of course, where you can work with Paula in the UK This conversation is a little window into what can happen when a woman learns how to meet another woman’s body with safety, presence, reverence and absolutely no agenda to make her perform. And if you’ve ever felt the calling to become the woman who holds that space for others… You’re going to want to listen to this one.
