I sit down in person with Amber Renee Schwartz, a Chicago healing artist and licensed massage therapist with more than 20 years in the field, and one of my closest companions in this work. We trace how a Mormon upbringing, scoliosis, and chronic pain led her from cosmetology school to massage, Reiki, and guided shamanic journeying, and why she believes every ache has an emotional and spiritual root. We get into personifying anxiety and depression and feeding them rather than fighting them, using tarot as a mirror instead of a fortune-telling trick, the trap of spiritual bypassing, and why healing is a spiral dance with no finish line.
