Ally is sitting down with Dr. Stephanie Colantonio this week, a board-certified physician and herbalist who integrates conventional medicine, plant medicine, and mindfulness in her holistic reproductive health practice. Dr. Colantonio shares her journey of transitioning from conventional pediatrics to holistic healing, including her exploration of traditional Chinese medicine and plant medicine.
Ally and Dr. Steph dive into so many beautiful places surrounding holistic healing, reproductive health, shame and grief, self-care practices, plant medicine, rage and collective pain, embracing the primal and messy, healing through simple acts, defining the divine and more. They explore the importance of honoring menstrual cycles and Dr. Colantonio shares her insights into herbal recommendations for menstruation and the role of self-care practices in her life. She also shares her experiences of navigating shame, grief, and backlash in the field of reproductive health. This is such a beautiful conversation and we know you will be inspired to learn more about Dr. Steph’s offerings which you can find here.
