An Inspiring Journey to Holistic Health With Audra Kai Woodley, Alumna of Quantum University
Audra Kai Woodley, hailing from Philadelphia but now rooted in Alexandria, serves as a prime example of the exceptional accomplishments seen among Quantum University’s alumni. Her unique path toward owning a thriving holistic healthcare practice took shape after years of dedicated STEM education and over three decades as a contractor in support of the US Air Force. After learning about Quantum University’s comprehensive curriculum, Audra was inspired to learn about biofeedback and its holistic benefits for individuals with various illnesses and diseases, such as immune deficiencies.
The Start of Audra’s Journey
Audra’s academic journey began with a scholarship from Lincoln University, the first degree-granting historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). Building on her accomplishments, she pursued a degree in Commerce and Engineering from Drexel University minoring in Physics, followed by a master’s in Information & Telecommunications Systems Management from Capitol Technology University.
Upon research into their course curriculum, Audra’s encounter with Quantum University’s Bachelor to Doctorate of Natural Medicine PhD program sparked a transformative decision to immerse herself in the comprehensive course load to expand her knowledge of holistic science.
Discovering a Path to Holistic Healthcare
Throughout Audra’s 30+ year career supporting the military, she took on pivotal responsibilities as program manager for legacy fighters and bombers like the F22, F-16, B-2, and later the groundbreaking Next Generation Air Dominance Program.
Along the way of her remarkable journey, she found herself grappling with persistent stress, anxiety, and overall overwhelming emotion. While Audra’s career was rewarding, contributing to the protection of the United States’ borders, she came to realize there were personal aspirations she wanted to pursue outside of her demanding career environment. She felt the need to find balance and create space for herself amidst the stress she had experienced. It was a challenging transition, but Audra understood the significance of seeking harmony and personal fulfillment beyond her professional commitments. This realization played a significant role in her transition toward holistic healthcare.
Audra’s introduction to the holistic space began subtly with her beloved dog Sandie, whom she considers her “first and most long-term client.” Witnessing the transformative impact of holistic modalities, such as organic foods, acupuncture treatments, and visits to therapeutic health spas, Audra noticed significant improvements in Sandie’s well-being. This experience sparked Audra’s passion for holistic healing.
While Sandie holds the distinction of “first client”, Audra attributes her motivation to pursue holistic healthcare to her own trauma and enduring challenges she’s faced throughout her life. Seeking to weave together her emotions, destiny, and purpose in life, she discovered solace in yoga and gained insight into living a holistically healthy life.
Ready to go beyond its surface appeal, Audra wholeheartedly embraced yoga in 2015 and immersed herself in its fundamental principles and origins. She obtained a yoga certification, strengthening her commitment to healing and personal growth. Through her own experiences, she discovered the impact yoga can have on one’s life. Now, she aims to share this transformative power with others, guided by her unique journey.
Achieving New Heights With Quantum University
Throughout the years, Audra was told she should consider the pursuit of higher education. However, to take the leap, she needed to be ready and feel it in her heart.
When researching higher education options, the Bachelor to Doctorate in Natural Medicine PhD program at Quantum University immediately caught her attention. It solidified her decision to become part of the program. To date, she’s successfully completed the Quantum Health Coach Curriculum, whereby, Holistic Anatomy and Biofeedback are just two of the courses that have ultimately played a crucial role in shaping her professional growth and startup of her business.
The Beginning of ‘Authentically Holistic’
From its humble beginning in 2019, Audra’s business venture, Authentically Holistic®, defied initial uncertainties and soared to new heights. What began as a philanthropic initiative offering yoga and meditation classes, swiftly transformed into a fully-fledged holistic wellness enterprise, ultimately earning the befitting name “Authentically Holistic.”
When the pandemic hit, a surge in individuals prioritizing their health and overall well-being catalyzed the business’s remarkable growth. Capitalizing on this opportunity, Audra adapted her business model to meet the evolving demand, simultaneously indulging her passion for exploring the depths of holistic wellness.
Power of Biofeedback
In her practice, Audra focuses on biofeedback as a powerful tool for addressing various conditions and ailments. Audra is particularly fascinated by immune deficiencies because these conditions present a unique challenge. Many are unnamed and lack a clear understanding of their root causes. She has a strong curiosity and drive to learn about these conditions, exploring the connections between immune deficiencies, epigenetic factors, and environmental toxicities. She recognizes that this knowledge forms the foundation for future advancements in addressing new strands or threads of immune deficiencies.
In addition to immune deficiencies, Audra also devotes attention to women struggling with fibroids (a prevalent and significant concern). Another focus area is assisting women experiencing hair thinning, who are seeking holistic solutions promoting healthy hair growth. Through the use of biofeedback and other modalities, Audra strives to bring balance to her practice, carefully integrating technology while honoring the holistic nature of her approach. By combining the power of biofeedback with a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s unique circumstances, Audra works toward empowering her clients to achieve optimal well-being.
One of Audra’s most remarkable success stories involves a young woman in her 30s who had been plagued by an unidentified immune deficiency. Audra’s expertise led her to consider the possibility that her geographical location (in close proximity to a steel mill), could be a contributing factor. With Audra’s guidance, the woman embarked on a journey of self-discovery, reevaluated her place of residence, and sought a deeper understanding of her life’s purpose. Through this transformative process, she not only gained insight into her health but also unlocked her potential for personal growth.
Utilizing Cutting-Edge Technology
Audra’s holistic healthcare practice incorporates three core biofeedback technologies: Genius Insight, ZYTO Compass, and Cell Wellbeing s-drive technology. Each technology operates from an energetic perspective, detecting imbalances in the system based on energy level signatures and providing valuable information for potential treatment paths.
The choice of biofeedback technology she uses depends on the unique needs of the individual client. Audra begins with Genius Insight, which offers a comprehensive holistic overview. Through voice analysis, the embedded technology identifies the individual’s energetic imbalances and restores those imbalances through a scan of selected frequencies. For clients seeking instant yet tangible results, Audra employs the Cell Wellbeing and ZYTO Compass devices. Through hair analysis and galvanic skin response (GSR), respectively, these devices provide instant feedback, comfort, and reassurance to clients. The convergence of information from these two devices enhances their credibility and validity in the eyes of the clients.
Audra acknowledges that the combination of ZYTO Compass and Cell Wellbeing technologies brings significant advantages from a practitioner’s perspective. Having two devices providing similar information helps to validate the results and address any lingering doubts or questions the client may have. Strategically, the use of these technologies allows Audra to tailor her approach based on the specific needs of each client.
Audra continues to evolve as a coach. She remains steadfast in her mission to help individuals suffering from immune deficiencies and support women struggling with conditions like fibroids and thinning of the hair. Her holistic approach, combined with the utilization of state-of-the-art biofeedback technologies, has already transformed numerous lives. By empowering her clients to make positive lifestyle changes and nurture their overall well-being, Audra aims to guide them toward their fullest expression fostering physical health, inner confidence, and a vibrant outward manifestation of vitality and joy.
Overcoming Challenges
Audra, like many individuals, faces a significant obstacle in her journey – Education. Not her own, but the education of her clients. She realized that there was a lack of awareness and knowledge, particularly within minority communities, about the benefits of holistic approaches and biofeedback. To address this, Audra invests time and effort in providing comprehensive information to expand awareness with her clients. By doing so, she aims to open minds and introduce them to a world of holistic possibilities. Audra encourages her clients to tap into ancestral knowledge, drawing from common sense principles that are often overlooked or left unexplored.
By blending education into her practice Audra seeks to empower her clients with the knowledge they already possess. She guides them toward reconnecting with their roots, finding synergies, and discovering the information that lies within them.
