Ep 43 Sophie Messager –The Beat of your Own Drum
Sophie Messager bridges worlds that rarely meet. A former reproductive physiologist with a PhD, she traded her microscope for a medicine drum after experiencing the transformative power of an empowered birth. Her decade-long journey as a doula, birth educator, and author of Why Postnatal Recovery Matters deepened her exploration of the rhythms surrounding women's transitions.
Now a holistic life transition mentor, Sophie guides women through significant life thresholds—from birth to perimenopause and beyond. Her unique combination of scientific expertise and spiritual insight allows her to serve as a compassionate space holder for those seeking to harmonise their analytical and intuitive selves.
Her new book The Beat of Your Own Drum: the history, science and contemporary use of drumming as a path for women’s wisdom, health and transformation is published by Womancraft Publishing and available everywhere now.
