  • What happens when you are truly heard and held by a healthcare provider? How can the right provider help you connect to your body and work with it as opposed to feeling victimized by it? How can physical therapy be a vehicle to healing with the patients as the ones in the driver’s seat?

     

    Welcome to the Collaborative Connections by OrthoPelvic PT! I’m your host for this week, Molli Atallah. In this week's episode, we will be joined by one of OrthoPelvic’s wonderful PTs, Dr. Lauren Navarrete. 

    Lauren is a Philly girl who transplanted to Northern Virginia and is loving it!

     Lauren knew she wanted to go into pelvic health before she even entered PT school. She worked as an aid for a pelvic health PT and she loved how women left their appointments feeling so much happier, confident, and more at ease than they entered.

     She saw pelvic health PT transform their relationships with themselves, their spouses, their bodies, and she knew she wanted to be a part of that change.

    She is passionate about empowering men and women to understand their own bodies and to destigmatize pelvic health issues. Dr. Lauren knows that through transparency and evidence-based care, patients can become empowered and confident in their own wonderful bodies.

  • When we’re not tuning into the wisdom of our bodies, we are actively tuning it out. How can we tune back in if we’ve been conditioned out of trusting our soul’s true desires for our entire lives? 

    Welcome to the Collaborative Connections by OrthoPelvic PT! I’m your host for this week, Molli Atallah. In this week's episode (part 2 of our interview), we will be joined by Nadia Hashimee, Sufi Spiritual Healer, founder of Lighthouse Healing. Nadia has always had a passion to serve humanity by way of healing.  She graduated from University of Mary Washington with a Bachelors in Biology in 2008 and went on to earn a Bachelors in Nursing from George Mason University in 2011. Since then she has worked as a Registered Nurse in the hospital as well as in office settings. 

    Her interest and study of Spiritual Healing began when she sought a healer to help her recover from Postpartum Depression. Following her doctor’s orders to get good sleep, keep up with exercise, as well and take an antidepressant, she felt her symptoms subside tremendously, but she sensed there was a deeper cause for the PPD in the first place and knew that to fully heal, she would have to get to the deeper levels of herself and heal with Divine Light. 

    While receiving healing sessions, Nadia began to study Spiritual Healing and perform healings too. What’s critical to Spiritual Healing for Nadia is to remove herself and her own ego ensure the highest degree of healing for her clients. Nadia’s training and practice is deeply rooted in a strong connection to the Highest Divine Light. 

    Nadia’s educational background and work as a Registered Nurse is unique in the field of Spiritual Healing. She brings gentle caring, understanding and professionalism with her into the world of Spiritual Healing.

    Nadia is certified by the Institute of Spiritual Healing and has been a practitioner of Sufi Spiritual Healing since 2016.
