Marcus Magic: Somatic Healing and Safety in Indigenous Communities – Episode 6

Welcome to the *Indigenous Psychological Services Podcast! This podcast is a space for education, connection, and sharing the transformative work we do to support healing in Indigenous communities. In this episode, we welcome Marcus Johnstone, a provisional psychologist and somatic experiencing practitioner, whose unique approach combines Indigenous principles and somatic therapy to create safe, empowering spaces for healing.

Join us as Marcus shares his journey into the practice, influenced by Nordic-Celtic traditions and his passion for trauma healing. We explore the deep cross-cultural similarities in healing practices, the importance of safety and embodiment in overcoming trauma, and how somatic work resonates with Indigenous cultural wisdom.

Discover how Marcus’s “magic” fosters profound healing by creating spaces of safety, connection, and authenticity, and learn why slowing down is essential to speeding up the process of personal transformation. This is a conversation about hope, resilience, and the incredible power of cultural and somatic approaches to trauma recovery.

Tune in to be inspired by the innovative ways we’re bridging traditional practices with modern therapeutic techniques.
