INTENTION TO HEAL

CHRISTIE JORDAN is the Founding Director of Source Healing, which has been an established holistic and natural health business in Chicago’s River North neighborhood for more than 20 years. Because her patients voted Winnetka as a second location, she opened the Winnetka satellite office in 2016 to serve the community with inspired acupuncture, Eastern herbal medicine, and nutrition for needs ranging from chronic pain, women’s health/fertility, digestive imbalances, immune strengthening, and stressrelated symptoms. Board certified in acupuncture and Eastern herbal medicine, Jordan has been a teacher of body awareness for more than 25 years. Her intention is to guide patients back to their own bodies through acupuncture, herbs, intuitive energy, live and online seminars and courses. She says this deeper connection to the body works as a guide that can activate greater wisdom, inner knowing, intuition, and awareness to how you interact with the world around you.

What does the idea of power mean to you? The idea of “power” to me is a remembrance of what we have lost sense of in our human forms. When we are unconscious, we tend to believe in power over others or power as a force outside of ourselves. When we are conscious and aware, true power is a state of being that is an intact remembrance of self, and it’s not to be determined by external forces like society, money, and people.

How should women support other women? With all our hearts. When we can start seeing other women through the lens of unhealed trauma, generational trauma, which is all stored qi (aka energy) in the body, we can find greater compassion for each other without making excuses for unconscious behavior.

What are you most proud of doing? I know this sounds cliché but being a mom of two beautiful beings and evolving with my husband for more than 25 years. Though it wasn’t in my game plan, the experience has been and continues to be one of my greatest teachers and heart openers.
