In this episode I speak with Andrea Terrones: a mother, healer, and educator.
Her work weaves traditional healing practices of her Mexican indigenous lineage and modern science. Her hands-in hands-on bodywork practice is the culmination of years of diverse study including doula training, sexological bodywork, hypnosis, and traditional Mexican midwifery. Andrea is the co-founder of Ma School, a project dedicated to training women in sexual and reproductive health across the womb continuum.
In this episode we talk about:
-From medical school to women's health and postpartum care, we talk about Andrea's journey including going back to her indigenous Mexican roots
-The task of translating the Feminine
-The Feminine emerging in the collective consciousness
-The enormous shift that is pregnancy & postpartum
-Rest as the main medicine in postpartum recovery
-Birth as initiation and a rite of passage
-The unconscious content that can arise during birth
-Honoring the psycho-spiritual aspects of birth and its impact on a mother's health
-Sex and centering your pleasure after birth
-The "Golden Window" of the postpartum time
-Overcoming shame through body literacy
-The Wisdom of the Pelvis & the Pussy
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did :)
