Why Body Trauma Affects Your Mind And Spirit - Exclusive Interview With Brianna Anderson Why Body Trauma Affects Your Mind And Spirit - Exclusive Interview With Brianna Anderson Brianna Anderson is a forerunner in Mind, Body & Spirit healing and specializes in helping people resolve body trauma. As a child, she endured 10 major reconstructive hip surgeries. The trauma from these surgeries stayed alive within her body and subsequently had adverse effects on every aspect of herself. Grappling with the devastation of how different she had become, she became determined to free herself from the trauma symptoms and devoted herself to healing and transformation. This led her down a path of studying multiple forms of bodywork, spiritual and energetic healing, psychology, art therapy, breathwork and multiple forms of trauma resolution. She has since devoted herself to helping others heal and transform pain and trauma.

Lewis Powell is a teacher, spiritual and wellness mentor and public speaker from Liverpool, UK. He founded the Kambo Practitioner Alliance and is the director and founder of the community wellness organisation Inner Guru CIC. He also created the online education and training school NEOSH Academy, where he trains practitioners in working with triggers, boundaries, nervous system loops, pattern interruption and awareness-led healing. Lewis has 11+ years of clinical experience guiding clients through deeply held emotional and behavioural patterns, shame cycles, trauma layers, belief systems and parts-led dialogue techniques. His work draws on behavioural science, body-centred healing, plant medicines, and bespoke psychotherapeutic processes designed to make internal change practical, embodied and real. He specialises in turning “knowing you need to change” into actually choosing the unfamiliar next move and staying in the space between triggers and reactions. His writing work focuses on indigenous cultural preservation, psychology of healing, trauma and emotional inertia. Lewis studies BSc Psychology at the University of Liverpool, exploring research pathways in shame, trauma and endocrine psychology, advocating for biological markers to inform more complete mental health outcomes. He has personally delivered over 2,000 Kambo treatments to clients with no hospitalisations and trained hundreds of new practitioners all over the world. He emphasises community, sovereignty, responsibility and deconstructing illusion in the pursuit of healing and self-actualisation. His talks and trainings hold the same focus… the real, sometimes messy, deeply human work of becoming the person you were always meant to be, and living it without performance.

Barb Varcl Smith is a Trauma Recovery Educator, Hypnotherapy Master Trainer and creator of The Ascendance Method—an educational framework that helps people understand how childhood trauma and survival adaptations shape our thoughts, emotions, relationships and lives. Barb's work is rooted in both professional expertise and profound personal experience. Having recovered from Complex PTSD (CPTSD), navigated Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), and lived through several near-death experiences, she came to realise that true healing required more than symptom management. Those experiences inspired a lifelong search to understand how human beings are designed to survive—and, more importantly, how they are designed to heal. Working with adults recovering from childhood trauma, Barb recognised a common pattern: people often spend years trying to change behaviours without understanding why those behaviours developed in the first place. This insight led her to develop The Ascendance Method, a framework that shifts the narrative from "What's wrong with me?" to "How did I adapt to survive?" At the heart of her work is a simple but powerful belief: people are not broken—they adapted to survive. Drawing on trauma-informed practice, nervous system regulation, hypnotherapy and coaching, Barb helps people understand survival adaptations, restore balance between mind, body and spirit, and reclaim their innate human potential. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, her work empowers people to move beyond survival into Ascendance—a life guided by inner strength, self-awareness, intuition, purpose and wisdom. Through her articles, the Way Out of Childhood Trauma podcast, speaking engagements, educational platform and forthcoming book, Barb is leading a new conversation about trauma, resilience and human potential. Her mission reaches beyond individual healing to breaking generational cycles and changing the way the world understands recovery. Break the Cycle. Change the Narrative. Change the World.
