We&apos;re back in action with the Watershed Wellness podcast. We&apos;ll be releasing episodes every 2 weeks or so, and continuing on with our focus on highlighting our fantastic practitioners while adding some new content types and creative approaches to healthcare podcasting.We&apos;ve moved our podcast archive over to the Astoria website. You can find the full podcast archive there, as well as here on Buzzsprout.In this episode, we bring Amanda Koennecke, licensed esthetician and WW PDX office maestro back to discuss the finer points of her healthcare approach.

In this episode, Amanda Barp, LMT, RYT and Eric Grey discuss a common theme in both their practices - the foundation of non-judgment that lies at the heart of all great healthcare.

At WW we do our utmost to ensure this doesn&apos;t impact our patients, and in this podcast, we reveal a bit more about our thinking and approach.
