Episode notes
What happens when the thing that once defined you… starts to fade?
In this episode of Deep Tissue Talks, manual therapist and somatic healer Doris Martel explores the emotional and physical journey of Yesenia Serratos, a professional dancer whose body began saying stop long before her spirit did.
❤️ This story is not just about dancers. It’s about all of us ❤️ Athletes, performers, parents, and anyone aging or recovering from injury will recognize the moment when the body can no longer do what the mind remembers.
We explore:
• Hamstring and shoulder pain in dancers
• How the body stores emotional stress
• Somatic layers behind chronic pain
• Identity loss when movement fades
• Resilience, reinvention, and healing
• The link between fascia, emotions and memory
Yesenia’s story is a powerful reminder that losing one form of expression can open the door to another and that healing begins when we learn to listen to our body’s truth.
