A number of years later, Stacey found herself in another challenging situation when her father and grandfather got into a tragic car accident.\xa0 This marked the first time she experienced going through the traditional healthcare system.\xa0 In doing so, she noticed some gaps.\xa0 The system didn't seem to take the human into consideration.\xa0 Yes, it healed the body but in addition to that her father was in need of somebody to hear him, hold space for him and help with the emotional side of recuperation.\xa0 That's where her passion for advocating for a more integrative healthcare system (between Western and Alternative medicines) was born.\xa0 In this episode Stacey gives us further insight on this as well as dives deeper into her story of her journey with yoga.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0
