Katherine Hirchak Part-1

In this episode of The Journey Podcast, we sit down with Katherine “Kate” Hirchak to talk about the important wellness and recovery research projects being developed in partnership with Doya Natsu Healing Center and Washington State University. Kate shares how these community-focused studies are exploring holistic approaches to wellness, recovery engagement, and mental health support for Native communities—especially Native young adults. Together, we discuss the vision behind the Zaunt Goot-tant (“Good Courage”) study and the Healing Journey CAM research project, which incorporates complementary and alternative medicine services such as chiropractic care and massage therapy. Join us as we honor the path of Indigenous wellness. We share tools for wholistic healing and growth. Website: DoyaNatsu.org
