Dr Crystal Jones: When to say Yes and How to Be for a Living

Dr Crystal Jones is working to shift the narratives + paradigms around healthcare, wellness, inclusivity, listening and self-advocacy. Professionally, she has worked in many different modalities including: chiropractic, reiki, yoga, doula work (for both birth + death).

It was really inspiring to me to hear how she’s been able to converge, coalesce and integrate all of these different tools and interests into one coherent voice that has a very positive impact. I found it helpful and simple to hear about the tools she uses to navigate what is and is not for her in her life right now; and this helps her keep showing up in a positive, productive way that also feels GOOD. which… is the goal, yeah?
