Meet the hosts – The personal stories behind Women of the Well

Women of the Well | Holistic Women’s Health and Wellness

In this special episode of Women of the Well, we’re getting personal.
Join hosts Dr Peta Wright, Dr Thea Bowler, and Sam Lindsay-German as they open up about their backgrounds and how they ended up working in holistic women's health.
🎧 Listen now to discover:

🍃 The book that shifted Peta's entire perspective on women’s health – leading her to question everything she’d been taught as a gynaecologist.

🍃 Thea takes us back to her roots, sharing the beautiful story of how her mum’s holistic GP practice influenced her career.

🍃 Sam shares her unconventional path from British Army Officer to holistic women’s counsellor. She talks about how following her intuition – and a few nudges from the universe – led her to the work she’s so passionate about today.

In this episode, Dr Peta and Dr Thea both share their frustrations with the conventional medical system, especially around the use of hormonal treatments like the pill.

They talk about why it’s so important to offer women alternatives that honour their natural cycles and well-being, and how they’ve brought these approaches to their practice at Vera Wellness.

If you’ve ever thought there has to be another way to practise medicine – especially when it comes to women's health – this episode is for you.
