Today’s guest is Marion McRae, physiotherapist, founder of Movement Solutions, and internationally recognized movement educator based in Western Australia. Marion’s approach goes far beyond traditional rehab—blending neuroscience, fascial dynamics, and postural neurology to create a truly integrative model for healing.

Her work challenges us to see movement through a new lens—one that addresses not only the body, but also the mind, emotions, and even past trauma. From exploring the role of psychedelics in trauma release to unpacking how hyper-vigilance impacts learning, Marion is leading the way in bridging science, safety, and emotional healing in the movement space.

In this episode, Marion and Dr. Emily explore:

• How emotional states, limiting beliefs, and past trauma shape movement patterns
• Why a sense of safety must come first in realignment and rehabilitation
• The role of scars, fascia, and weight distribution in holding memory—and how intentional movement can help release old patterns
• Marion’s hierarchy of rehab: from emotional basics → biomechanics → fascia → sensory systems
• Her vision for the future of rehab and the changes she hopes to inspire in how we think about healing

If you’ve ever wondered how movement, memory, and emotions are deeply intertwined—or how creating safety can unlock new pathways to resilience—this conversation will expand the way you think about the body.
