The School of Whispers

This week I'm joined by Will Mccandles, a health coach whose path to healing has taken him from the mountains of Thailand to the jungles of the Amazon. As a patient, student, and practitioner, Will has consistently gone to the source, learning directly from the indigenous teachers and lineage keepers who hold these traditions. Today’s he’s built a successful practice around health coaching, biofeedback, qi gong, Kambo, and more.In this episode we get into his own health crisis and how it shaped the way he now guides others back to their bodies.It was beautiful to listen to Will’s story unfold from being pathologized as a child to becoming someone who really trusts his intuition and isn’t afraid to go all in for his own health and in following his dreams. Highlights: – How an ADHD diagnosis spiraled into being diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and the years on medication that left him feeling lost and disconnected- Coming off his meds with herbs and landing a new diagnosis, bipolar with psychotic features, and what that taught him about the medical system- A tick bite on a California farm that sent his health into a freefall, and the long road through misdiagnosis before finally learning it was Lyme- The wild, multi-country journey he made from Costa Rica to Spain during COVID lockdown just to be with his daughter- What an Ayahuasca ceremony revealed about his body's breakdown, and how that became the foundation for the work he does todayConnect and Work with Will: https://www.advancemywellness.com/ https://www.instagram.com/will.wellness/ Learn more about the School of Whispers: http://www.schoolofwhispers.comIf you’d like to learn more about working with me, click here.
