Description

Most women's health care starts by looking for something broken. This one starts by listening.


Women of the Well is a podcast about what medicine looks like when it takes the whole woman seriously – her body, her history, her nervous system and her own knowing.


Hosted by integrative gynaecologists Dr Peta Wright and Dr Thea Bowler with holistic counsellor Sam Lindsay-German, each episode explores a women's health topic from an integrative, nervous system informed perspective, alongside guests including physiotherapists, psychologists, researchers, healers and clinicians who are practising differently.


If you've been told your pain is normal, your tests are fine and there's nothing more to be done, this is a podcast that will make you feel seen and give you somewhere to go next.


If you're a practitioner who senses the standard approach isn't serving your patients, you'll find the thinking here that underpins how we work at Vera Wellness – and the training we run for clinicians who want to work this way too.


This podcast is for information and educational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.


Topics we cover:


  • Pelvic pain and endometriosis,
  • Nervous system health and trauma informed care,
  • Perimenopause and menopause,
  • PMDD and premenstrual health,
  • Fertility and reproductive health,
  • Pregnancy, childbirth and matrescence,
  • Hormonal and gut health,
  • Mental health and self development,
  • Somatic therapy and embodiment,
  • Sexuality,
  • Spirituality and intuition


Recorded and produced by the team at Vera Wellness – verawellness.com.au.

Want to ask a question or suggest a topic? Send us a text here In August, Vera Wellness turned five. So we’re doing something a little different this time. Dr Thea Bowler turns the microphone on Dr Peta Wright to ask how Vera began, what it’s become, and where it’s going next. Before Vera, Peta was a busy gynaecologist and fertility specialist with a toddler. She was working from early morning until late at night, and she was burning out. She was also starting to see the lin...
Want to ask a question or suggest a topic? Send us a text here This weekend, the world dresses up as witches for Halloween. Here in Australia, it’s also Beltane, the spring fire festival in the Southern Hemisphere wheel of the year. So it felt like the perfect time to ask: what comes up for you when you hear the word witch? For centuries, it was used to silence women: the healers, the midwives, the wise women, and anyone who lived by the moon and her own knowing. Even now, m...
Want to ask a question or suggest a topic? Send us a text here A note before you listen: this episode talks about harm in the medical system and touches on childhood trauma and abuse. Please take care of yourself as you listen. When did you last check in with your own body before you checked in with someone else’s opinion of it? In this episode, Dr Peta Wright, Dr Thea Bowler and Sam Lindsay-German talk honestly about women, medicine and power. It’s not an anti-medicine conversation bec...
Want to ask a question or suggest a topic? Send us a text here In our last episode, Peta and Thea talked about Vera's practitioner training, and why no one should have to do this work alone. This week, we're introducing you to one of the women who reminds us of that every day. Lauren Williams has been a midwife for most of her life. She'll tell you it's part of the thread of who she is. She's worked in birth suite, led research that changed how a large hospital cares for women in early labour...
Want to ask a question or suggest a topic? Send us a text here A quick note: this is a conversation about our practitioner training, so we're talking clinician to clinician at times. But if you're living with pelvic pain, we hope it's a comfort to hear that there are practitioners out there learning to slow down, listen and work this way. If you've ever sat across from a woman in pain, done everything you were trained to do, and still gone home feeling it wasn't enough, we know that feeling w...
