She didn\u2019t come to it on purpose; it was an add-on, so to speak, that touched her so deeply, she had to know more. And through that exploration, she entered a new phase in her life and added a whole new facet to the work she does in healing.\xa0 \xa0 Kristin Ponzi is a Licensed Massage Therapist, with specialization in Myofascial Therapy. While attending a retreat with some of her colleagues, they experienced a private session with a guy who does sound healing using a variety of instruments and meditation. It was one of those supremely profound experiences that literally changes the course of your life.\xa0 \xa0 Kristin shares the story of this experience, the visions and guides she encountered during her meditation, and the journey she\u2019s been on to share that experience with the people she serves in her practice at Essence Body Work in Columbus, OH.\xa0 \xa0 She uses Himalayan Bowls, which create specific sound waves \u2013 vibrational frequencies that influence the brain wave states her clients drop into while working with her. Essentially, her goal is to create deep relaxation and to restore equilibrium in the body. After all, \u201cwhen you are 80% water, if you\u2019re dehydrated, information doesn\u2019t move through your body very well,\u201d she explained to Laura during their conversation.\xa0 \xa0 Their conversation takes a few turns, dipping into meditation, expectation, sound frequency and the vibrational impacts on everything around us, the difference between coaching and mentoring, and our responsibility when raising children! While these topics may seem disparate, the conversation is powerful and flows through them all with ease and connection.\xa0 \xa0 Kristin\u2019s Bio \xa0 Kristin Ponzi is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Sound Therapy Practitioner, and the owner of Essence Body Work.
