April 16
47 mins

Episode Description

What happens when a decade of deep somatic healing leads you to a diagnosis you never saw coming? 


Today’s episode is raw and vulnerable, as Aimee Takaya shares a life-changing discovery she made: she was born with severe bilateral congenital hip dysplasia. She takes us through the shock, the grief, the unexpected wisdom of her body's compensations, and more! 


This is a story about the limits of somatic work, the grace of acceptance, and the courage to finally get the structural help you've always needed.


Aimee takes us through:

  • Why her severe hip dysplasia went undiagnosed for 37 years

  • How the body creates protective patterns that mask underlying structural issues

  • Why she chose to stop exercising entirely to protect her body

  • How somatics helped her function despite bone-on-bone arthritis

  • Explore the emotional journey from shame and anger to gratitude and advocacy

    And so much more!
