What posture can reveal about health and emotional patterns with Raya Friesen
Wed Jan 28 2026
In this episode of the Heallist Podcast, we explore the relationship between posture, emotional health, and healing with Raya Friesen, an integrative practitioner with over 20 years of experience in holistic healing. Raya shares how her Lumina Method™ brings together breath work, energy medicine, and physical alignment to support people navigating chronic pain, postural imbalances, and emotional patterns held in the body. The conversation offers a grounded look at how the body may reflect lived experiences over time.
Drawing from real client stories, Raya discusses how emotional patterns can sometimes show up alongside physical conditions such as scoliosis, and how gentle, integrative approaches may support awareness and change. We explore how breath, posture, and presence work together, why pain can be viewed as information rather than something to override, and how healing remains possible across different life stages. The episode also touches on the role of practitioner community and collaboration in creating more sustainable, holistic care.
