Matcha Mornings: Exploring Healing Modalities with Kay Hutchison

This week on the podcast, Amanda is joined by Kay Hutchison. Kay is the author of My Life in Thirty Seven Therapies detailing her experience of embarking on a solo journey of self-discovery and healing. 

On her journey she tried everything from colonic irrigation to cupping and reiki to reflexology. In this episode, we talk about how Kay found yoga during a very challenging time and her experience with a wide range of healing modalities.
