Is chronic pain ruling your life? Whether it’s back pain, menstrual discomfort, fibromyalgia, or autoimmune flares, today’s episode of The Women’s Vibrancy Code offers a new, liberating approach.
Host Maraya Brown welcomes Dr. Njideka N. Olatunde—a master reflexologist, board-certified naturopath, and leading voice in culturally integrating traditional healing with modern medicine. With decades of experience helping thousands overcome pain without medication, Dr. Olatunde shares how reflexology and the power of touch offer transformative, natural solutions for pain rooted in stress, trauma, and imbalance.
In this empowering episode, we cover:
- The pain-stress connection: how unprocessed stress becomes physical pain
- Why reflexology works to relieve pain—virtually or in person
- How the body can’t heal until it’s in a state of rest and relaxation
- Why numbing pain with meds often worsens long-term wellness
- What the medical system is missing (and how to self-advocate)
- How to listen to your body before it screams louder
- Simple daily touch techniques to stimulate natural healing
- Why chronic pain often needs emotional, mental, and spiritual release
Plus, Dr. Olatunde shares how anyone can learn reflexology at home, how to find time for wellness despite life’s demands, and why playfulness and gratitude are underrated healing tools.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, stuck, or out of options, this episode will give you hope, strategy, and a holistic path forward—rooted in empowerment, science, and ancient wisdom.
