Dr Njideka Olatunde: pioneering non-opioid pain relief solutions
In a quest to provide medication-free pain relief, Dr Njideka Olatunde created Reflexology-Touchology: a system which involves listening as a form of touch, identifying the pain-stress connection, offering pain relief and finding suitable integrative healing modalities. She discusses examples of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual pain and each person’s innate ability to use the healing power of touch.
