Menopause is a sacred, complex transition and I want to share my journey and reflections with you…
Dear Ladies, a Letter from My Heart
A Pattern in My Life
I have noticed a pattern in my life. I have witnessed so many times how my style is to feel passionate about something. (In the last 20 years this has been largely women's health.) I navigate it to threads—I research it, question it, double question it, critique it, sometimes test it, or apply it in my work. I copy it, even tutor it—or get tutored on it—from kind of every angle, mostly scientifically.
I want to understand how it works. I want to visualize how it works. I want to evaluate it according to my criteria for health which includes do no harm, not having to take other meds for side effects, basic safety concerns, and what happens if nothing is done.
Most importantly—and I feel in the same manner—I want to understand the natural, phytochemical, nutritional, and alternative modes of understanding and approaching this diagnosis.
The Feeling of Still Searching
Once I have untangled this in its utmost, I stand back—largely unimpressed, unsatisfied, and with the feeling like I am still searching and that this answer or package or largely the approach has left me wanting.
I recognize this feeling from the first time I dropped out of medical school at 19 and joined a Vedic ashram searching for spiritual truths and the highest source of healing.
My Journey Through Medicine and Healing
After completing my community service and internship, I apprenticed with my homebirth midwife to learn the art of sacred birthkeeping, questioning the model we had learned and trained in.
In my private consulting work, I remember in 2018 I was let go from a lovely holistic practice because I was not “enough” of a general practitioner, and had a passion for women’s health—which, in his words, was too much of a niche. This pushed me deeper into healing circles, red tents, and self-care, deeply connecting with the womb and rediscovering womb wisdom.
Again, diving back into corporate medicine in 2024—prescribing, labs, and pharma networks—I honed my skills in a high-paced, better-paid setting.
I delved deeper into my business, updating courses and devouring information about menopause, bioidenticals, hormones, symptoms, and training.
Questioning and Alignment
And once again I started questioning—the rationale, safety, different women, health patterns, and myself—using bioidenticals, not using them, reflecting.
It’s like a little thread you scratch that unravels, revealing something deeper. That thread demanded attention, but the feeling I got was alignment.
My work forces me to be genuine, reflective, and in integrity with life and love.
Medicine’s Role in Our Journey
I have a sharp eye for medicine’s role in women’s journeys—often disconnecting us from who we are and making us dependent on external systems. But I also deeply respect where medicine serves. I believe in a dual, integrative approach because we are all unique.
The greatest gift a healing practitioner can share is guiding women to lead their own healing—to make their own choices and be active participants.
My Truth About Menopause
So here I am today—hearing the sacredness in stopping, listening to menopause’s messages, shifting through who I want to be now and for the rest of my life.
I feel a sigh of relief. I feel safe and held. I can work from a space of deep trust and connection.
I do NOT want to take anything just to feel different, keep up, or look different.
This is my sacred truth.
Sacred Connection and Service
I am learning to use botanicals, bioidenticals, and supplements to support my truth and service. But my work comes from the strength of my inner connection with my Divine Self.
So I come back to sacred connection, the pause, the resetting, and deep honoring of myself.
An Invitation to You
These are my words now. They will not be the same for everyone, and I welcome you to find your own place aligned with your healing.
My work is to serve women, not decide for them.
I offer deep consultation around your symptoms, with approaches and pathways you make your own, supported by me through follow-up to feel into where and how you want to be in life right now.
Shed blame, dependence, excuses, and deepen into our love work—re-meeting ourselves—in JOY.
If you are navigating menopause or any health concern at any stage of life and want to explore your path with support, I invite you to connect with me.
Together, we will create your unique journey of healing and empowerment.
With love and respect,
Dr Gauri Lowe
