Ihotu Ali is an integrative medicine practitioner, researcher, doctor in training, and cultural womb healer.
Fascinated by the connections between western and traditional medicine, she studied Afro-indigenous and global cultural practices for childbirth, ancestral and womb healing, alongside formal medical training in chiropractic care, neurological benefits of touch, and the neuroscience of spirituality and meditation.
In this episode we talk about the benefits of bodywork before and after birth, how to bring in cultural practices to support birth and postpartum, and why it's important to work with what we have from our own lineage rather than appropriating other cultural practices.
