Your Body Is the Portal to Your Soul: Listening to Its Wisdom with Iris Angellys

Episode #104 - In this enlightening conversation, I’m joined by Iris Angellys, a truly inspiring author, artist, mentor, healer, workshop facilitator, chiropractor, and applied kinesiologist. Iris has spent nearly 30 years helping people cultivate a loving relationship with their bodies, viewing them as allies rather than adversaries.

She shares the wisdom she’s gained from working with over 25,000 patients, emphasizing the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. Iris discusses the importance of listening to our bodies, understanding their signals, and treating them with care and respect.

We’ll also explore practical steps for reclaiming personal purpose and passion, the role of community in our self-discovery journey, and how embracing our true selves can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Iris is the author of Your Body Is the Portal to Your Soul, a book rooted in her own experiences and professional insights, and Passion to Thrive, where she introduces archetypes that guide us through life’s challenges back to our own magnificent selves and the divine feminine.

Currently residing on the North Coast of NSW, Australia, with her husband and her beautiful cat Indigo, Iris is deeply passionate about helping others thrive in their lives and bodies so they can share the unique gift of their soul frequency with the world.
