A Mother's Journey to Holistic Health & Healing
Welcome to A Mother’s Journey to Holistic Health and Healing – A holistic wellness podcast for moms who want to nurture their mind, body, and spirit while navigating the challenges of motherhood and modern life.
I’m your host, Marissa Prieto. I am mom of 3 young amazing children, a holistic well-being coach, registered dietitian, energy healing practitioner, and student of herbal medicine.
Through empowering conversations, holistic healing practices, and powerful stories, this podcast helps mothers reclaim their energy, trust their inner wisdom, and create a life rooted in balance, peace, and purpose.
We'll explore topics such as mental and emotional health, spirituality, soul-aligned living, nervous system support, challenges in motherhood, breaking generational cycles, deep healing, and so much more!
Along the way, I’ll share my personal health and healing journey, the strategies that have worked for me as a busy mom, and the powerful stories of other moms who’ve transformed their lives. Because when a mother heals, generations heal.
Imagine a life where you are confidently taking imperfect action tending to your health and well-being mind, body, heart, and soul. A life where you are in tune with your body and honoring it by giving it what it needs without guilt.
This space is for the mother who feels the call to heal, grow, and reconnect with herself on a deeper level — because when you heal, it ripples through your children, your family, and the world.
You’ll leave each episode feeling empowered to show up for yourself – mind, body, and soul.
Together let's take mindful and intentional action towards living healthier, happier, more present, and purposeful lives!
