Meet my remarkable guest, Amanda Kostura!! She is a Licensed Independent Social Worker Supervisor with over 12 years of experience in both direct practice and administrative positions in non-profits and social service agencies. Amanda noticed there were missing elements of compassion, humanity, and healing the root causes of mental health conditions in previous positions. These professional experiences, her own personal challenges, and research on trauma and the stress-disease connection led her to found Carve Your Own Path, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization specializing in a holistic, mind-body approach for healing and optimal wellness. This conversation was so eye opening and really brings the wellness practice, holistic approach, and clinical care together. No one is better than the other and each of us must follow the path of healing that works best for us.
