**Trigger warning** This intro and podcast contains discussions around sexual violence and suicide. Please use your discretion before reading on.
I was honored to be joined by Leah Parsons. I knew she had her own pain story however I wasn't aware of the full history behind her story.
Leah's daughter Rehtaeh was just 17 yrs old when she died by suicide after being gang-raped and cyber-abused, placing Leah in a path of "honouring pain and becoming the voice of Rehtaeh.“
What happened to Leah's own body after this experience is the second part to this story. And how she walks with the dark and the light at the same time.
Her journey is one of going inward and listening to her intuition.
Leah is now walking a path of healing, offering workshops and presentations to bring awareness on topics of cyber abuse, sexualized violence, mental health, and healthy ways to walk through pain and suffering to students, educators, parents, communities, victims and their loved ones.
Leah has spoken all over Canada and the US on topics including:
• The impact of Cyber-abuse
• Sexualized violence in our society
• Mental health and suicide awareness
• The spiritual journey through grief
Leah now offers programs for those looking for healing both on and offline:
1. Soul Speak - the journey inward to change your mindset, honour your body, and embrace your sense of spirit (online)
2. Yoga - on and offline
3. Grief Retreats

The Art Of Listening To Your Body
My name is Dr. Jin Ong I’m a cathartic release therapist, professionally trained as an osteopath, psychosomatic therapist, western acupuncturist and herbalist.
I’m fascinated by the mind-body connection and how your physical body is a manifestation of your emotional state.
My aim is to create awareness to the underlying emotions behind pain, injury and disease in the body as well as behvioural dysfunctions and mental imbalances. I do this using a unique blend of eastern and western philosophies and a good dose of intuition.
I love reading the body and what it's really trying to tell us through it's physical presentation, injury, pain or illness. I call it the art of listening to your body. It's all about understanding yourself and others on a deeper level.
I guide people to recognise their purpose in the world by bringing light to the issues that hold them back. I do this through an intuitive understanding of how the body speaks to us and help clients develop their emotional awareness and take actionable steps to achieve their goals.
If you want to learn to tap into your innate intuitive sense in an easy to understand way come and join me.
Pain stories are fascinating and there is so much we can learn from them. Join me as I'm joined by inspirational people who share how their life changed after their painful experience- what they had to surrender to and how their life looks now.
