Connecting to our menstrual cycle and ancient medicine -An interview with Dr Danielle Arabena

Dr Danielle Arabena, is a descendant of the Meriam Mer people in
the Torres Strait, a medical doctor, GP specialist, 
educator, respected figure in the medical community and host of
the Indigenous Health MedTalk podcast. 

This episode delves into aboriginal history, ancient medicine,
medical magic and how we no longer recognise the importance of
connecting to our menstrual cycle. We discuss how we can all
benefit from sitting with ourselves properly during our cycle,
learning more about our womb space and the energy it carries,
including pain, trauma, and loss that we may be holding onto.


Through her formal higher education studies, trials and cultural
journeying, Dr Danielle Arabena has arrived into her true
authentic self as a Doctor, Doula, Healer and Indigenous health
educator. Danielle has spent 30 years devoted to studies of all
types, defying odds & bending stereotypes.  Dr Danielle
has a particular interest in holistic women's health,
menstruation, childbirth, lactation and postpartum care.
