Adi Soozin:
Welcome to another episode of 9×90™. Today’s guest is someone whose story is truly unforgettable. Trish Kane is the founder of Healerverse, but before that, in 2014, she survived a harrowing near-death experience. Found unresponsive with a body temperature of just 86°F, she was resuscitated twice, spent nine days in a coma, and survived two strokes. She had to relearn how to walk, talk, and even feed herself.

But instead of just returning to normal life, she emerged transformed—with a calling to heal others.

In 2020, she launched Healerverse, a decentralized SaaS marketplace and ticketing platform that connects spiritual healers and seekers worldwide. Offering tools for practitioners, event hosting, and secure booking systems, Healerverse brings structure and transparency to the $6 trillion global wellness industry. Trish is also a keynote speaker in the decentralized healing tech space and the author of Divine Intervention, which she launched at high-profile events like Miami Swim Week.

Trish Kane:
Thank you so much for having me. And just to be clear—I wasn’t laughing at you earlier! I’m truly happy to be here. This feels like a special conversation. When we met a few months ago, I immediately felt a connection. We’re both creators—we build in silence and then reveal things to the world.

You shared my story beautifully. In 2014, I was in a really dark place. I had no idea what was coming. When I was in that coma, I had a profound out-of-body experience. I floated above myself and saw my own legs—they were blue. But I didn’t realize they were mine at the time.

There were other beings in this space I was in. And when I came back, when I finally woke up, I remember the doctors pulling the breathing tube out and asking, “Do you know where you are?” I managed to say “Hos—” (short for hospital), and they were shocked I could respond at all. I didn’t know what had happened, but I knew the experience I’d just had—meeting a woman who died while I was there—was the most real thing I’ve ever lived through.

Adi Soozin:
That’s surreal. I can’t imagine going through something like that.

Trish Kane:
Yeah. After I woke up, they ran tests and discovered I’d had two bilateral watershed strokes in my frontal cortex. My left eye wouldn’t move side to side, and half my face was drooping. I had to relearn everything—walking, eating, talking.

People ask how long recovery took. Some things took days, others months… and some took years. Five years later, I visited my ophthalmologist. My peripheral vision in my left eye had fully returned—he called it a miracle.

Adi Soozin:
That reminds me of when my sister had brain surgery. I flew back from Italy to be her blood donor if anything went wrong. Afterward, she had to relearn basic math—even answering “what’s 1 + 1” was a challenge at first. It’s incredible how the brain can heal.

Trish Kane:
It really is. Even now, if I’m exhausted, I sometimes slur my words. I’m not sure if that’s residual damage or just part of being a female founder in tech! [laughs]

Since then, I’ve competed in triathlons, marathons, and even Spartan races. I placed in the top 5% globally for Spartan and was invited to compete in Greece. I also earned a master’s degree—even though studying was harder, I made it happen.

If there’s one takeaway from my story, it’s this: there is more out there, and recovery is possible. If I could do all of this in the last 10 years, anyone can do anything.

Adi Soozin:
Wow. I just had Angela Goran on the show—she’s another amazing female founder and a retired pro athlete. You two need to meet! Meanwhile, I’ll be over here not running—I tore all three ligaments in my knee. I’ll cheer you on from the sidelines.

Trish Kane:
[Laughs] For the record, I didn’t train for my first triathlon. I was just super fit from CrossFit and thought, “I swam as a kid and rode my bike around the neighborhood—I got this.” Spoiler alert: I didn’t. The ocean was so choppy, I nearly drowned. But I finished! The Spartan races were more my thing.

Adi Soozin:
That would totally be me. I love that—“I biked around the neighborhood, I’m good.” That’s going to be our new inside joke whenever we’re underqualified but still going for it.

Trish Kane:
Exactly! Blind faith goes a long way.

Adi Soozin:
I had a similar moment when I applied to work with Apple. I didn’t realize managing sales for brands like Porsche, Disney, Target, and Whole Foods was impressive. Or that doubling Apple sales was a big deal. I just thought, “Sure, I can do this.” Sometimes that’s all it takes.

Trish Kane:
And that’s amazing. Anyone who crosses paths with you is blessed.

Adi Soozin:
Right back at you. Now—let’s talk about Healerverse. How did your personal transformation lead to building a decentralized platform for healing?

Trish Kane:
Great question. After my recovery, I was working at Informa in sales—specifically for Taylor & Francis. I sold digital content and databases to universities, the government, and the military. My territory was the southeastern U.S. It was a great job—lots of travel, smart clients—but in 2020, I felt this pull for something more.

Then, I broke my shoulder hiking with my dog. That was the catalyst. Even while injured, I was still trying to work out—but I couldn’t lift my arm. That moment forced me to slow down and really listen to the nudge I’d been feeling: to create something meaningful. That “something” became Healerverse.

---

---

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Then the doctor was like, “Wow, your arm went back together on its own—I’ve never seen that. Usually, people need surgery.” But I was still doing CrossFit, lifting heavy things overhead. I think I forced it back together… but it was excruciating. Then I did this meditation, and I heard: You don’t have to do what you’ve been doing anymore. It’s time for a change. And I knew what that meant.

Adi Soozin: Hold up.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): I realized I needed to stop being so in my masculine—constantly pushing myself physically just to prove I’d recovered from that dark time. I was meant to do something different. Something bigger… for humanity. I didn’t know what yet. So I flipped my house in Delray Beach and moved cross-country to Colorado. I resigned from corporate America and asked myself: What now?

Adi Soozin: Okay…

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Energetically, I knew I had to make space for something new. You can’t just swap one thing for the next—sometimes you have to stop and listen. And then, the idea came. I was trying to find practitioners—Reiki, massage, energy work—but even in Denver, I couldn’t find anyone on Google.

Adi Soozin: Wait, in Colorado you couldn’t find practitioners?

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): No. Nothing. It was so weird. And around that time, a lot of platforms—Meta, YouTube—they weren’t built for this industry. Wellness practitioners were being restricted. So I thought: Why don’t I create a platform that supports them? The entire space is fragmented. There’s no central hub for spiritual healing, holistic work—and back then, biohacking wasn’t even mainstream.

Adi Soozin: Oh my god, yeah. Same with AI—15 years ago it was around, but no one was talking about it. I actually built my software company—a tool that trains junior marketers and outputs strategy—before ChatGPT. It felt revolutionary, and now people just compare it to GPT.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Wow.

Adi Soozin: And with biohacking—I’ve been doing ice baths since college.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): You’re a trendsetter!

Adi Soozin: Not at all—I never bragged about it. My roommates would talk to me while I sat in an ice bath just to pass the time. I was a professional ballerina then, and it was the only way I could walk after rehearsals.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): That’s smart! A good roommate rotation system, too.

Adi Soozin: Totally. I’d sit in a leotard, covered in ice, and they’d just take turns chatting. If you were a principal dancer, you were onstage 70 to 90 minutes per show. But we’d rehearse 8 to 12 hours a day, then perform twice a day. Ice baths weren’t optional—they were survival.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Did you dance on pointe?

Adi Soozin: Yeah. Actually, I did pointe for so long that I’m worse at dancing in flat shoes now.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): I used to walk around my neighborhood in my pointe shoes—I thought I was so cool, walking over speed bumps and everything.

Adi Soozin: Honestly, pointe shoes make pirouettes easier. You can do triples or quads and land them. On flats? You need serious momentum.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Now you see why I can’t wear heels. My feet are too precious.

Adi Soozin: Oh my god, I get that. I’m super picky with heels. People ask why I reject certain shoes, and I’ll be like, “The metatarsal pressure is off.” They don’t expect that from a blonde woman. But foot health is crucial.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Totally.

Adi Soozin: I used to wear those warm-up booties that look like snow boots to the gym, just to protect my feet during leg day. Guys would laugh—until I said, “How many bones are in the human body?” They guessed 104. I said, “There are 52 bones just in your feet. That’s half of your bones. And you’re laughing?”

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): That’s amazing.

Adi Soozin: And 85% of people over age 85 die from a simple slip and fall. Foot health matters.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Yes! I used to have muscles in my feet. Not anymore though.

Adi Soozin: Same. You know vibration plates?

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Yeah—I have one in the closet!

Adi Soozin: Pull it out. Stand on it 10 minutes a day. I had morning pain that felt arthritic, but once I used that regularly, it went away. Muscle supports the joints.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): I’m doing it. Right after this call. I’ll even take calls standing on it.

Adi Soozin: Yep! I do that with my mom—“Hi Mom, love you, I’m talking to you while vibrating.”

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Haha, exactly.

Adi Soozin: So, you’ve woven blockchain into healing. How does decentralization empower practitioners on Healerverse?

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Great question. So, Healerverse isn’t built on blockchain yet, but we’re integrating crypto payments and other Web3 features. I started this before there were many blockchain developers around. That said, it’s still fully focused on content ownership. That’s the big differentiator.

Adi Soozin: Yeah.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): On platforms like Instagram or Facebook, they can deplatform you anytime. That’s your whole business—gone. On Healerverse, we don’t own your content. If we ever had to remove someone for violating policies, we’d give them their content back. It’s a community for finding and supporting practitioners—not controlling them.

Adi Soozin: That’s huge.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): It really is. Meta and YouTube have become a bit more tolerant, but we’re not there yet as an industry. Practitioners deserve their own space.

---

---

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): I basically built a platform so people can find each other more easily—because who you surround yourself with really does shape the conversation. Personally, I like connecting with people who want to have deeper, more enlightened conversations about health. That kind of dialogue isn’t always easy to find. I can translate those conversations across groups, but what we saw at the event we just hosted in Miami is a great example. So many of the attendees were practitioners—many are doctors—and they’re doing incredible work. The question is: how do you find them? Where do you go for trusted events, courses, and vetted practitioners?

Adi Soozin: I totally get that. I have a degree in medicinal biological chemistry, and we’re Jewish—deeply spiritual in our practice. That world is incredibly fragmented. You have people making wild, inaccurate claims, and others doing incredible, high-integrity work. The good ones? You usually find them through word of mouth—it’s like navigating a secret society.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Exactly. A lot of it still feels underground. Even once you find someone, you might outgrow what they offer. In my own journey, I’ve moved past certain modalities or teachers that helped me earlier but no longer fit. That’s part of evolving.

Adi Soozin: 100%. And we all start somewhere. People know the basics like yoga and meditation—but that’s just the surface. There’s so much more. Even I don’t know it all.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Same here. It’s about meeting people where they’re at. Over the weekend, we had breathwork sessions and two different sound healing experiences. My mom came to one of our local events last year with zero idea what she was walking into—and she loved it. That’s the beauty of it. It’s accessible, not “woo woo.”

Adi Soozin: Yes! I was explaining “quantum meditation” to friends the other day. They were like, “Wait, what are you doing?” I told them: I close my eyes and picture myself a few months into the future. Whatever I was stressed about has already resolved—good or bad. Then I come back and give myself advice. It’s like my future self coaching me through the now. That might not be the official name, but the technique has helped me immensely.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): I love that. And it just proves there isn’t one “right” way to meditate.

Adi Soozin: Exactly. A lot of people say, “I hate meditation.” But the problem isn’t meditation—it’s that sitting in silence trying not to think doesn’t work for everyone. There are other techniques. For example, yesterday I had to get a big spot of skin cancer removed from my ribs—it really hurt to breathe. They had to numb the area in about ten different places. I focused on breathwork to get through it.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Wow. That’s amazing.

Adi Soozin: The doctor was surprised I stayed so calm. I told her, “That’s breathwork. And maybe childbirth.” [laughs]

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): That’s legendary. Truly. Breathwork is powerful.

Adi Soozin: Some doulas only use breathwork—no meds. I had all the meds. [laughs] But I have huge respect for that path. Breathwork is a game-changer. So, Healerverse… you verify practitioners and ensure privacy. How do you maintain quality, credibility, and trust?

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Our process is very manual—for now. Practitioners fill out a long, detailed application. We don’t “recommend” them, but we do verify them internally. They submit ID and answer a lot of questions. We check for any red flags online, and ensure they have a real presence. It’s not automated—yet. We might add AI to assist, but the human element will always be part of it.

Adi Soozin: So it’s like getting a verified check on Instagram—but with real weight behind it.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Exactly. It’s a badge of honor. Our verified practitioners can knock on corporate doors. They get access to event invites and other exclusive opportunities we get from partner communities. It’s pretty powerful.

Adi Soozin: That’s brilliant. Because let’s be honest—this work can be expensive. And there are too many people claiming to be experts when they’re not.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Right. And we’ve seen tons of impersonation scams on Instagram and Facebook—people pretending to be a practitioner, taking payments, and then disappearing. Healerverse protects against that.

Adi Soozin: That’s a huge value-add. So tell me—what have been the biggest challenges scaling Healerverse? I know there are probably 15 off the top of your head—but give me just one or two.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Honestly? My own growth as a founder. And the tech—it’s been the biggest learning curve. I’ve had to become super tech-savvy out of necessity. When I started, I had no clue what I was doing. So for any new entrepreneurs out there: it takes longer than you think, it costs more than you expect, and it’s a daily grind. I bootstrapped the first $450,000 and then ran a small regulation crowdfunding round. It’s been a climb, but I’m proud of how far we’ve come.

---

---

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Some days you move forward, some days you go backwards—it’s just part of it. If you’re a startup founder, come to Healerverse. We get it.

Adi Soozin: Yeah.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Honestly, the biggest thing was me. I had to grow, I had to evolve.

Adi Soozin: I know you only have a couple minutes left, so let’s jump to this: You’re now allowing people to license your software. What does that look like?

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Yes! One of the most exciting developments lately is that people can now license our software. The proprietary tech was originally built for practitioners to manage their entire business in one place—but now, event companies have been reaching out. They host multiple events a year and want to use our custom event ticketing platform—it’s like Luma, but built into Healerverse.

Adi Soozin: No way.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Yep! And it includes course hosting, too. I need to show you a demo—it’s really beautiful.

Adi Soozin: Yes, please!

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): When you log in, it looks like a social media platform—think Facebook. You can post on your feed, share things both internally and externally, private message, get notifications, add people as friends, and build out a full profile. And now, people are wanting to license it across other industries—for their own events, communities, and ecosystems.

Adi Soozin: Okay, let’s embed a walkthrough of it on your page on 9×90™—both for end users and companies looking to license it.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Brilliant idea. I love that.

Adi Soozin: That way, people can actually see what Healerverse looks like in action.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Amazing.

Adi Soozin: I know it’s time. Thank you so much for being here today.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): Thank you. You’re amazing.

Adi Soozin: I’ll see you in New York! We’ll see your face in Times Square!

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): I know—it’s wild! I’ll be speaking and MCing at NFT NYC, so they always put our photo up in Times Square. It’s the day after the talk.

Adi Soozin: Oh my god.

Trish Kane (HEALERVERSE): I know! Thank you again. I’ll see you soon. Have a beautiful day, everyone.
