The Part of Healing We Often Overlook - Heather Roberts
From The Middle Space · 01:28:38
Show by Dr. Stacy Rempel
What if healing begins before the treatment ever starts?In this episode, I sit down with Heather, a medical massage therapist whose journey from opera singer to cancer survivor to healer has shaped the way she understands the human body, pain, and connection.We explore the healing power of human touch, what it means to live in a body that has changed, and why pain is never just physical. From navigating her own experience with cancer and chronic pain to working with critically ill children and their families, Heather shares how safety, presence, and feeling truly seen can change the experience of being cared for.Together, we explore the questions that often get lost in conversations about health: What does it mean to care for someone in pain? How do we honor another person's experience without assuming we understand it? And what becomes possible when we treat the whole person, not just the problem?Because sometimes, healing begins with something simple: being heard, being seen, and knowing you don't have to face it alone.
