Episode 19: Healing Beyond Medicine: Touchology and the Power of Listening with Njideka Olatunde
In this inspiring episode, we welcome the incredible Njideka Olatunde, a holistic healer, educator, and advocate for alternative pain relief and whole-body wellness. Describing herself as an evolving butterfly, Njideka shares her transformative journey from childhood home remedies to pioneering Touchology, a healing approach that bridges the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
Discover how she helps people find pain relief without prescription medicine, emphasizing the importance of listening, human touch, and emotional awareness. Njideka reveals why true healing starts with identifying the core issue, not just treating the symptoms, and how compassion and small acts of kindness can be profoundly healing.
Join us as we explore:
The connection between stress and chronic pain
Why touch is more than physical
The healing power of listening and empathy
How to reconnect with your purpose and passion (“your why”)
The balance between traditional and holistic healing methods
Njideka’s wisdom reminds us that suffering isn’t forever, and healing is possible when we embrace every layer of who we are.
Ways to Engage: Your why is a powerful question. Think back to when you were a child and what made you feel passionate or what you wanted to do with your life before someone told you you couldn’t. Does this align with you now? What changed? Explore your journey to discovering your current why, what you love now, and what you left behind.
