Sick and Seeking
Sick and Seeking is hosted by Leslie Field who, after a diagnosis in her late teens of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), has been on a 22-year journey of healing and self-discovery.
In this podcast, Leslie invites you to join her for intimate, honest and heartfelt conversations with others who are also on their own healing journeys as they live with and manage the long-term effects of “dis-ease” in the body.
Listen to the stories of courageous people who, in the face of an uncertain medical future, are on a quest to go deeper into their bodies, beyond symptom and diagnosis—or in some cases no diagnosis—to reach a place of intuitive knowing, healing and transformation.
This podcast is, above all, an exploration in healing and examines a variety of modalities and knowledge from conventional medicine to holistic and complementary therapies that bring a spiritual, psychological and mystical perspective to bodily healing in our modern culture.

E9 S2 | Adding Healing to Healthcare: Doctor of Physical Therapy, Gina Calderone Shares How Life Experience Deposits into the Physical Body, and What Your Symptoms are Telling You
On this episode I speak with Doctor of Physical Therapy, Gina Calderone at C Force Studio.
“Because the longer a wound sits in the body, the more it just decays and it causes more problems.” - Gina Calderone
Conversation Highlights:
- Gina’s 20+ year career as a physical therapist and how she came to be known as ‘The Body Detective”
- Noticing the connection of physical pain to people’s emotional pain, adverse childhood experiences and trauma

- Paying attention to what is happening in our lives and listening to that inner voice when symptoms and signals from the body are sent to us
- Carolyn Myss’ work on energy medicine and archetypes and how it influenced Gina’s understanding of illness and pain in the body
- How our life experience and choices can drain or enliven our physical energy
- The unwinding of patterns and stories that Gina unearths until she discovers the core, root issue in people’s bodies which explains where the illness/pain/condition first came from
- Polyvagal theory and how trauma usually tracks along the back line of the physical body
- Gina’s plan to develop and teach physio-energetic anatomy which shares how life experience deposits into the physical body and what symptoms are telling you
Quote:
“And our bodies usually give us clues. The symptoms are the clues. They're the map. They're giving us all the information that we need to know. We just have to learn how to tune in.” - Gina Calderone
“So as a physical therapist, it helps to have certain kinds of modalities like that with craniosacral work, pranic healing, such as I mentioned, and being able to move the energy that way. But the work that I learned in medical intuition and sacred contracts, and energy medicine is helping people understand why they're at where they're at and how they can make those shifts to feel free, improve t
