Soma Wellness
The Soma Wellness Podcast is where science meets the healing intelligence of you. If you’re living with pain, struggling to change patterns that keep repeating, feeling disconnected from your body, or simply know there has to be a better way to feel and live—this show is for you. Hosted by Tabitha MacDonald, Licensed Massage Therapist, Intuitive Coach, and creator of the Soma Rewire System, the Soma Wellness Podcast explores the connection between the body, brain, nervous system, unconscious mind, and superconscious—and how working with all of them can create lasting change. We’ll explore everything from chronic pain, manual therapy, the nervous system, soul healing and the mind-body connection to creating loving relationships, unwavering self-worth, emotional patterns, identity conflict and how to align with the highest expression of health, wealth, love and success for you in this lifetime. You’ll learn how approaches like manual therapy, neuroscience, parts work, hypnosis, NLP, somatic awareness, and superconscious healing can help uncover and change the patterns keeping you stuck. Healing isn’t about endlessly searching for what’s broken and trying to fix it. It begins by defining what you actually want—not what you think will fix the broken parts of your life—and using the infinite power of your own superconscious to identify and remove the barriers preventing you from having it. It’s about understanding what your body, mind, and soul are trying to do for you, bringing them back into coherence, and creating a clear path toward the life you choose.

What Type of Massage Should I Book? How to Get the Treatment You Actually Want
When people call a massage clinic for the first time, one of the first questions they often ask is, “Do you offer deep tissue massage?”
But what does “deep tissue” actually mean—and is it really the treatment you need?
In this episode of the Soma Wellness Podcast, Tabitha breaks down the difference between pressure, technique, ...

Why can you consciously want healing, change or success—and still find yourself doing the exact opposite?
In this episode of the newly evolved Soma Wellness Podcast, Tabitha shares how her work moved beyond love and relationships into a deeper exploration of the body, unconscious patterns and the healing intelligence within us. You’ll learn how the conscious, unconscious and superconscious levels interact,...
The Failure Pattern: When Your Greatest Gift Becomes the Pattern
There's a pattern that almost nobody talks about in the personal growth space — not because it's hidden, but because it's nearly impossible to see from the inside.
Your biggest failure pattern won't feel like a failure pattern. It will feel like your greatest gift.
In this episode, Tabitha shares the three areas of her own life where the same uncons...
The pain that drops you to your knees rarely arrives with a dramatic story. It shows up when you’re doing something laughably normal: opening a shower curtain, putting on socks, standing up from the toilet. That’s not proof your body is fragile. It’s often proof your body has been whispering for a long time and finally found a moment you couldn’t ignore.
We walk through how pain actual...
In this special Mother’s Day episode, we explore the changing landscape of motherhood — and the invisible emotional weight mothers have carried across generations.
From the silent sacrifices of the 1950s… to latchkey parenting, rising divorce rates, war, social media, active shooter drills, influencer culture, pandemic parenting, and the impossible pressure of modern motherhood — this episode...
When your life starts slipping sideways, it is easy to blame your mindset, your trauma, your hormones, your ADHD, or your willpower. I tell a story that changed how I see all of that: I fell, hit my head, told myself I was fine, and kept going until my behavior started telling the truth for me. What followed was months of dizziness, brain fog, avoidance, mood changes, impulsive spending, and a creeping belief that I...
Bullying leaves clues in places most of us never think to look: your posture, your pain patterns, your fear of being seen, and the reflex to manage other people’s moods just to stay safe. We go back to the root of it, what happens inside a chaotic home where addiction, intimidation, and “jokes” that feel cruel teach kids the wrong definition of love. When that’s the training ground, sibling b...
Balance sounds simple until you’re the one holding everything together. Under the Libra full moon, we guide you through a deeply calming meditation designed to reset boundaries, soften people pleasing, and bring your relationships back into alignment without abandoning your own needs.
We start with breathwork and a clear intention, then move into vivid guided imagery: a moonlit garden with two reflectin...
Pain can feel like a life sentence, but it’s also information and your nervous system can learn a new response. We start by reframing pain as a brain-shaped signal influenced by stress, emotion, memory, and your sense of safety. From there, we guide you into a gentle self-hypnosis state designed to help the body step out of survival mode and into regulation, where muscles can unclench and pain perception can s...
If you’ve ever said, “I know what I should do, I just can’t do it,” your nervous system may be stuck in a freeze response.
Your mind can be full of plans while your body refuses to cooperate, and that “I can’t move” feeling is more common than most people admit. We get honest about what it’s like to do all the therapy, all the affirmations, all the manifesting and still...
The world stops, your body lights up, and something in you whispers destiny. We’ve all felt that electric pull, but what if that rush isn’t a soulmate calling you home—it’s a trauma bond beginning to form? We unpack the chemistry behind intense attraction, the psychology of intermittent reinforcement, and the subtle shifts from love bombing to confusion that train your brain to chase relief r...
What if the ceiling on your career, creativity, or relationships isn’t a skill gap—but an unhealed story living in your body? We sit down with Portland therapist Dino Paris, who brings 40 years of trauma work to a deeply human conversation about performance, joy, and the nervous system. Dino started in finance, burned out on meaning, and found his way into counseling where he discovered something simple ...
Your body remembers what your mind couldn’t name. We explore how narcissistic abuse leaves a somatic footprint—chronic pain without clear injury, IBS and gut distress, bone-deep fatigue, and sleep that turns into a nightly replay of threat—and why these patterns persist even after you leave the relationship, workplace, or community that caused the harm. Drawing from clinical experience, trauma text...
Feeling battered by January advice wars and “one perfect plan” promises? Here’s a calmer, truer way to build real health in 2026: trust your intuition, upgrade your identity, and let simple, aligned actions stack into lasting change. Tabitha MacDonald, Intuitive Coach and Bodyworker, opens with a raw look at living through ulcerative proctitis, weight gain, and the coping strategies that once felt ...
Close your eyes, slow your breath, and meet the part of you that already knows. This guided higher self meditation leads you from heavy-handed stress to a feather-light awareness, using simple breath patterns, vivid imagery, and a safe inner container where only supportive guidance can enter. We move step by step—relaxing the body, focusing the mind, and crossing symbolic thresholds—until you arrive at a...
When tradition collides with real life, the holidays can crack open all our stress, grief, and expectations. We set out to change that narrative by choosing a new end result—connection, gratitude, and wonder—and letting those feelings lead how we show up, rather than letting anxiety and perfectionism set the script. Through candid stories of plans derailed and mornings spent alone, we walk a compassionat...
What if generosity isn’t about money, but about how freely we offer time, attention, and presence when it’s least convenient? A late, anxious pull into a hospital parking lot turns into a masterclass on dropping judgment and choosing service—and it sets the stage for a deeper dive into how greed and miserliness quietly run our lives. We trace the subtle difference: greed reaches outward for more, m...
The difference between life purpose and a soul mission can feel subtle until it changes everything. Purpose is the daily practice of becoming more loving and sovereign. A soul mission is the sacred assignment that feels too big, too risky, and somehow exactly right. I share how a string of intuitive nudges—some arriving at the most ordinary moments—pushed me beyond a successful clinic and into the messie...
What if persistent pain is your body remembering what your mind forgot? We sit down with physical therapist and intuitive practitioner Jason Marvin to trace his journey from the high-volume “mill” model to a grounded, whole-person practice where structure, energy, emotion, and spirit work together. Jason shares the health crash that forced him to rethink everything—mysterious weight loss, headaches...
What if the fastest way to restore hope is as simple as a precise touch and the words, “Do you mean here or here?” That moment of validation sits at the center of this conversation with Doug Nelson, founder of Precision Neuromuscular Therapy, as we explore how specificity, feedback, and presence transform stubborn pain into possibility.
We start with Doug’s pivot from a music career to manual therap...
