Women's Empowerment & Personal Development Consulting

Chandler Stroud is the host and founder of The Healing Heroes, a wellness podcast built around exploring different healing paths through honest, expert-led conversation. Instead of handing you one fixed method, she brings you into real dialogue with practitioners across disciplines like astrology, acupuncture, EMDR, and energy healing, so you get a bridge between traditional and contemporary practice built for how you actually want to heal. Along the way, The Healing Heroes has earned multiple Davey Awards, gold recognition across more than one category, for the depth and care behind these conversations. What Chandler wants for you is simple: a space where mind, body, and spirit support feels accessible, educational, and a little more within reach, so you can hold your own life, your own people, and your own healing at the same time.

Dedicated to the art of holistic healing, my journey is centered around the fusion of yoga, Thai massage, and the transformative power of energy and sound healing. With a profound passion for facilitating wellness, I weave together these ancient practices to create a harmonious tapestry of healing experiences. Through the mindful integration of yoga postures, the therapeutic touch of Thai massage, and the resonant frequencies of energy and sound, I aspire to guide individuals on a profound journey of self-discovery and holistic well-being. Fostering a space where both the body and spirit find restoration and balance.

I have been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade—an adventure in holding space that has brought me all over the world. The core and foundation of this work is Human Design—a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. I hold advanced academic degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French as well as certifications from Gallup, Inc in CliftonStrengths Coaching and SSC in Human Design Coaching. In 2021 I obtained a master coach certification from Elementum Coaching Institute. My primary philosophy, in the words of Ram Dass, is that “we are all just walking one another home”. No one is broken or incomplete or half, but we forget that. In some ways, we must forget that for a time here so that we can grow, expand, evolve, and ultimately remember from a new, elevated space of consciousness. I am here to do that myself and to assist others in the process through holistic, multidimensional support.

Lizzie has lived all over the world, with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas where she is living her dream as the founding planter of Jubilee Episcopal Church. She is passionate about evangelism for a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram & TikTok with her 60k followers.

She was ordained in 2020, and as grateful as she is for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5+ years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

Karen began her journey as a trained modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed the course of her life. After the accident, she noticed that simple physical tasks were causing her pain, so she later sought the help of medical professionals to address her migraines, neck, back, and shoulder pain, as well as the loss of grip strength in both hands. Three years of MRIs, x-rays, testing, multiple rounds of PT and OT, as well as prescription medications were of no help as she navigated treatments parenting three young children. It wasn’t until a neurologist diagnosed her with Cervical Myofascial Pain Syndrome that she finally got answers, and prescribed John F. Barnes Myofascial Release therapy with two trained PTs. Karen walked away pain-free just six months later, with a new lease on life. Karen’s desire to help others live pain-free existences, and educate about the benefits of MFR resulted in her getting both her CT and NY PTA/L licenses, as well as her LMT license, and ultimately she became both a student and expert instructor of the John F. Barnes MFR therapy which she’s now been practicing for over twenty five years. Her areas of expertise include: Myofascial Release expert level practioner with a background in spinal & joint mobilization, muscle energy, Mulligan techniques for the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, & sacrum, neurologic & orthopedic strain/counterstrain, cranio sacral therapy, vestibular therapy, Kinesiotaping techniques, PNF, Functional NDT (adult & pediatric), manual lymph drainage, interdisciplinary rehabilitation management of neurological dysfunction, aquatic therapy, and applications of home care as appropriate.
