GP044: Mindfulness and Environmental Justice with Elizabeth Houlding & Susan Czyzo
Manage episode 362352828 series 1382816
Environmental physiotherapy is an emerging practice area. There are physiotherapists all over the world calling for more sustainable physiotherapy practices. Moreover, there is a growing consciousness within physiotherapy globally around the environmental injustices experienced by equity deserving groups. A lot of people, including physiotherapists, may experience stagnation when confronted by the enormity of the climate crisis. This is where mindfulness comes in. Mindfulness can help us process and move through difficult emotions and engage in environmental justice. Today’s guests will help us journey deeper into mindfulness and environmental justice.
Susan Czyzo (she/her) is a Canadian physiotherapist, Pilates instructor and mindfulness teacher. She is passionate about helping adults live life actively and mindfully, so that they can find ease in mind and body, and live meaningful lives. Susan is currently living in Toronto, on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Outside of her virtual and private practice work, Susan loves getting outdoors to hike, paddleboard, surf and run.
Elizabeth Houlding is a physiotherapy resident who graduated from the University of Toronto in 2022 and is now working in school-based pediatric rehabilitation. During her masters degree, Elizabeth co-created and chaired Justice Rehab, a student group whose purpose is to increase awareness and action around systems of oppression in rehabilitation. Her masters thesis investigated creating transformational change to make physiotherapy clinics Queer and Trans inclusive. In her free time, Elizabeth enjoys biking, rollerskating, and climate and labour organizing.
