In this enlightening segment of Episode 24 of the Aligned Living Podcast, Gauri Lowe offers a profound reflection on her journey from her upbringing in Cape Town to her forays into medical school and beyond. She candidly shares pivotal moments, from feeling disconnected in her early years to rediscovering a sense of spirituality amidst nature's embrace, ultimately leading her to initially pursue medicine, only to later veer into joining a spiritual community.
Gauri's transformative experience of childbirth propelled her back into the medical field, where she fervently advocates for a physiological approach to birth and women's health, grounded in traditional wisdom and medical expertise. Amidst discussing the challenges within the medical system, Gauri underscores the paramount importance of sovereignty and choice for women in their healthcare decisions.
Continuing their dialogue, Gauri delves into various facets of pregnancy, childbirth, and women's healthcare, underscoring the imperative of trust in the body and the need for personalized care. She elucidates the hurdles faced by women navigating medical interventions during pregnancy and childbirth, championing for more supportive and empowering methodologies. Gauri shines a light on cultural and legal barriers surrounding childbirth, advocating fervently for a holistic approach that empowers women to make informed decisions about their birthing experiences. Emphasizing the concept of "womb wisdom," she encourages women to listen to their bodies and trust their instincts, advocating for a harmonious integration of natural remedies and plant-based therapies into women's healthcare.
Gauri introduces the practice of Yoni steaming as a therapeutic modality for addressing menstrual irregularities, postpartum care, and overall wellness. She expounds on the profound relationship between steaming and nurturing one's body, facilitating both physical and emotional healing. Gauri envisions a future where such practices foster intimacy and healing among women. When prompted about living in alignment, she articulates it as harmonizing with one's purpose while cultivating self-compassion and relishing life's pleasures.
