✨The Healing Power of the Goddess ✨

Wow. What a beautiful experience! Today, an intimate group of like-minded women gathered together, completely mesmerised and moved listening to author and academic Dr Joanna Kujawa narrate through her literature on the lineage of the goddess.

Dr Peta and Dr Thea applied this lens to explore how women can use the mysteries and archetypes of the goddess to empower their own lives.

Connection, pleasure, and embodiment with a room full of women remembering…

Where medicine meets the mystical.

Last week this little calf was born on the property Vera Wellness resides. This services as a quiet reminder that life is always renewing itself. While we’re busy rushing through our days, nature is out here starting fresh.

There’s something special about witnessing new life. It reminds us that growth doesn’t have to be loud or fast… sometimes it’s slow, gentle, and exactly on nature’s timing. 🌱

International Women's Day (IWD) as a global movement has been around for over a hundred years, as have many of the issues still impacting women's health.

For long time the dominant story about women's health has been one of pathology. That women's bodies are unpredictable. That their hormones are problems to be managed. That their cycles are inconvenient. That living in a female body is inherently difficult.

Of course there are real conditions that deserve research, attention and compassionate medical care. But, sometimes I wonder if something equally important has been lost along the way.

A sense of reverence for the intelligence of the female body. Women's bodies are not mistakes waiting to be corrected. Women have cyclical, responsive, adaptive systems that evolved to be exquisitely attuned to environment, relationship, nourishment, stress, movement & meaning.

When we only view women's health through the lens of pathology & intervention, we risk disconnecting women from the wisdom of their own physiology. The future cannot be about diagnosing and fixing,

It must also be about helping women:

🌑understand their bodies
🌒regulate their nervous systems
🌕live in environments that support health
🌘 reconnect with their own inner authority

True progress will not come from telling women how broken their bodies are. It will come from helping women come home to the strength, beauty & intelligence that has always been there.

These past few weeks have stirred up a lot in our profession.

The Four Corners investigation made something painfully clear: our system too often rewards surgery over listening. Intervention over understanding.

My heart goes out to the women at the centre of that story. Their courage matters. And every woman living with pelvic pain deserves to feel seen, believed, and supported.

But it's also raised a question I think many practitioners are sitting with right now:
If the current model isn't working, what does a better one look like?

At Vera, we've been asking that question for years.
What we've learned is that lasting change doesn't start with a scalpel. It starts with understanding the nervous system. With education. With safety. And with the practitioner's own regulation.

You can't guide someone toward healing if you're not resourced yourself.

If you've been thinking about this – Dr Thea and I would love to talk to you.

We're hosting a free live Q&A next Thursday, 12 March at 7.30pm AEST about our Transformational Medicine practitioner program.

No pitch. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about a different way to practise.

Last night, Four Corners aired an investigation into unnecessary gynaecological surgery on women with pelvic pain. I was interviewed as one of the expert gynaecologists for the episode.

What these women have been through is devastating, and their courage in coming forward will help change things for others.

This investigation highlighted something I feel strongly about – our system is set up to financially reward surgery over listening, education and holistic care.

Women with pain deserve so much more than that. I hope this is a turning point 🤍

Places still available for our upcoming breathwork workshop next Friday 27th February. Come join Alisa Craig, our Breathwork Therapist and Emotional Healing Specialist, in a safe and supportive space where we come together to reconnect, restore and breathe

Theme: Emotionally Full: Finding Yourself Again

For women feeling irritated, overwhelmed, or just… done.

Do you feel stuck, lost, or “not yourself”- especially during peri or menopause?

The truth is, it’s not just hormones… it’s emotional fullness. Years of carrying everything (and everyone) builds up until you’re exhausted, reactive, or constantly annoyed. In this workshop, you’ll discover why your system feels overloaded, where the emotional build-up came from, and how to start releasing it safely.

Through breathwork and emotional regulation tools, you’ll lighten the load and reconnect with who you truly are underneath it all.

In this powerful 3-hour women’s workshop, breathing together creates a powerful sense of connection and collective healing. To book - see our Events page on the website (link in bio)

Winsome spent years in the medical system for pelvic pain – surgeries, dismissive appointments – including being spoken to through her male partner instead of directly...

When she finally found care that worked, it wasn't just because of the treatment plan. It was because of everything:

The way the space felt when she walked in.
The trauma-informed approach to pelvic exams.
The warmth and relationship built over time.
The follow-up and genuine care.

In this clip from our latest Women of the Well episode, she shares what she wants practitioners to know about creating truly holistic, trauma-informed care from start to finish.

Because women can feel the difference.

Full episode: Winsome's journey from surgery every five years to reclaiming her body – link in bio 🎧

Practitioners: This is what we dive deep into in Transformational Medicine: Alchemising Pain into Power.
