In this episode, I have a conversation with physiotherapist Tierney Gunthorpe. We discuss sleep disorders, sleep apnea, sleep bruxism, how to prepare for a good nights sleep, and more.
Tierney Gunthorpe has been a physiotherapist for over 17 years and during this time she always worked in private practice. She obtained her Bachelor of Science In Physical Therapy from Queen's University in 2005 and then her Masters in Clinical Physiotherapy in 2012 from Curtin University, in Perth Australia.
Since she become a physio, she doesn't just focus on your area of pain, she identifies and corrects the root cause. She believes in whole client treatment, giving you an all-around treatment approach that has better results than just treating the symptoms.
And when she started to have her own sleep issues after she stopped nursing her son during the night, she wanted to find out why she was having a sleeping issues and not just take sleeping pills.
She hated the women she was becoming - impatient, cranky, short tempered, tired all the time, inability to do her job well so she knew she had to change.
So after taking several courses in sleep, reading and researching sleep, she became a sleep coach after she fixed her sleeping issues as she realized that there is a huge gap between the health care system in sleep.
Sleep is the foundation of our health. We break down our bodies during the day and repair them at night time.
She cares about her clients and provides an individualized approach to your sleep issues. She takes the time to listen to your story, do a full assessment to completely understand your problem, the root causes, and identify core areas to focus on in order to improve your sleep quality.
There is no greater satisfaction than helping someone waking up rested with a clear mind, feeling good to take on another good day.

Education
Coaching Experience
I began my coaching career in 2006. I started working with high school aged soccer players and haven’t stopped since! I played soccer for Cal Poly’s Div 1 Women’s Soccer Team where I really developed passion for the weight room. I coached Girl’s Soccer at SLO High School for 6 years, in addition to coaching club soccer, and found that I loved helping girls realize their potential on and off the field. I made a career move that ultimately led me to Gymnazo in 2014 and the rest is history!

Education
Coaching Experience
I grew up playing a variety of sports including volleyball, baseball, football and wrestling. As I progressed in my high school career, I developed a strong passion for mentoring and coaching youth athletes. I coached for a local youth wrestling club and youth football program for a few years in Sacramento. When I moved to San Luis Obispo, I coached wrestling at a local high school and headed a local youth wrestling program. I also work with individual athletes to help them reach their full potential through mental and self-discipline. I believe it takes hard work and strong mental toughness to achieve any goal.Check out education with Gymnazo at www.gymnazoedu.com

In this episode, we have a conversation with Jeanie LoVetri, creator of Somatic Voicework™ The LoVetri Method. She is one of the most recognized singing teachers in the world and has taught world wide as an expert in Contemporary Commercial Music. That term, CCM, was created by Ms. LoVetri in 2000 to replace the term “non-classical” and is now in accepted use in academia, research, medical and clinical journals. Somatic Voicework™ The LoVetri Method is a body-based method of vocal training which draws from many disciplines. It is based upon voice science and medicine as well as traditional classical vocal training, complementary modalities such as yoga, movement, dance, acting, and speech training, and various bodywork approaches. Somatic Voicework™ The LoVetri Method is meant to unselfconsciously draw the mind of the singer into the physical process of making sound.

In this episode, I have a conversation with Miriam VanMersbergen PhD about her work and research on vocal congruence, the degree to which someone feels in concert with their own voice.
‘Dr. van Mersbergen research areas include psychological influences in voice production with an emphasis in emotional and cognitive processes. She uses psychometric, behavioral, and psychophysiological methods to investigate influences of affect and cognition on voice production. Some of the goals of her research are to gain a better understanding of typical emotional reaction to vocal errors (i.e., feedback errors) and to assess if those with certain types of voice disorders respond differently to those errors. In addition, she continues to develop clinical measures; specifically she investigates a way to measure voice effort to be employed in voice clinics.’

On this episode, I have a conversation with my friends Mark Martin and Kaila Mullady about the art of Beatbox and their mission and beatbox method.
Champion beatboxers and teaching artists Kaila Mullady (World Champion 2015 & 2018) and Mark Martin (American Beatbox Champion 2016) came together in 2014 to create a method combining their passions for beatboxing, education, communication, and expression. Through years of experience teaching in a variety of different schools and environments, they developed a technique for growth, development, and expression based on what they call the 5 Pillars of Personal Development.
Through self-expression we learn about ourselves, our wants, desires, likes and dislikes. This informs how we learn, and connects what we learn to our experience in a real and engaging way. Through Self-Expression we develop confidence. The more we express ourselves, the easier it is to express ourselves in difficult and pressing situations. Whether speaking up when there is a problem, stepping up to a bully, the first step is connecting to how you express yourself.
2. Confidence Building
We like to say that if you can make funny duck sounds in front of your peers, public speaking suddenly becomes much less frightening. Confidence building is a central aspect of our program, and through self expression we build social capital, which makes it easier to come forward and speak in front of your peers.
3. Emotional Intelligence
By knowing ourselves deeply, we are able to richly interact with the world around us, and understand how to work best with ourselves and others. This understanding helps students understand their own emotions and empathize more effectively with others, streamlining communication as well as reducing conflict. Through familiarizing and labeling our emotions, we develop effective strategies for navigating them rather than suppress them.
4. Dynamic Communication (Tool for Language Therapy)
Communication involves the transmission, receival, and processing of information. Our program uses beatboxing as a tool for speech therapy, both in how we transmit information (the sounds we use, articulation and flow of speech) as well as how we receive it (active listening). In addition to the sounds and words used, we also discuss their meaning, and how to communicate those ideas more effectively. Through these methods, students are able to open up and avoid misunderstandings, helping to resolve conflict and build trust. Since we are engaging these activities through play, we see a marked increase in participation, engagement, and retention.
5. Leadership
More than just making music and sound, we wish to share the tools needed to become good and effective leaders. We believe that it is essential to encourage and develop these skills within our youth so that they can become leaders in their communities, communicating effectively with others in order to work together towards a common goal, or resolve a common conflict. Learning how to become a leader prepares us for the world beyond.
