S6: Episode 4: Mindful Movement & Breathwork - Cami & Michele, founders, InnerPeace

Autism Mastermind - A podcast by Malinda Dalton-Cook & Vanessa Surprise

On this episode we dive into the world of mindful movements and pranayama breathwork, specifically tailored to benefit moms of neurodiverse kids. Thank you for joining us Cami and Michele!  Michele Rooney, MS, PT, is a physical therapist with over 24 years in professional practice.  She completed a BA in Psychology and Sociology at New York University, and an MS in Physical Therapy at Columbia University.  While working in the school setting during her early career, she also worked as a personal trainer.  Although conventionally trained as a PT, Michele quickly realized that a conventional approach did not fulfill her personal philosophy of holistically optimizing health and function through the integration of mind, body and spirit.  This inspired her to pursue certifications in Hatha Yoga, Yoga for the Special Child, Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki and Infant Massage.  More recently, she has returned to her fascination with psychospiritual approaches to wellness by pursuing certifications as a Self-Sabotage Coach and in Hypnotherapy.  In addition to her clinical specialty in pediatrics (autism/neurodevelopmental disorders and Early Intervention), she has extensive expertise in functional medicine in women’s health (hormonal balancing, peri menopause), and she is a GGS-1 Women’s Coaching Specialist.  She considers herself to be a lifelong learner, and she excels at simplifying challenging and complicated topics. Cami Smith has been a board certified music therapist working with children with neurodiversity for over 20 years and in 2018-2019 was introduced to Pranayama Yoga Breathwork training.  She has been practicing breathwork since then for her own healing journey and worked with friends and family using this modality.  She has seen immense changes in her own healing of her conscious and subconscious mind as well as experienced improved mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness.  So many others have experienced altered lives due to the learning that comes from laying down and breathing for an hour.     facebook.com/rhythmicminds - my business page; getting my website redesigned so it is not up yet.
