Christiane Northrup, MD, obstetrician/gynecologist, is an empowering, internationally known visionary in women’s health and wellness. As a practicing physician for over twenty years and former assistant clinical professor of ob/gyn at Maine Medical Center, Dr. Christiane Northrup is a leading proponent of medicine and healing that acknowledge the unity of the mind and body, as well as the powerful role of the human spirit in creating health.
Christiane Northrup's pioneering work has shown that conditions such as PMS, endometriosis, breast symptoms, and uterine conditions are the language through which women’s bodies speak of wounding they have experienced in a culture which has been unsupportive to women and to those values we call "womanly.” Christiane Northrup's years of clinical experience have taught her that life-threatening, chronic, or acute illness is often a catalyst for significant inner growth and change. The lessons learned from the thousands of women with whom she has worked over the years have taught her that we needn’t wait for illness to make health-enhancing adjustments in our lives. Regardless of one’s starting point, vibrant improvements can occur on all levels of a woman’s life and health when she learns how to respect and care for herself.
Dr. Christiane Northrup knows that the only way to change the system is for women and men to reclaim their inner wisdom, learn to trust “what they know in their bones,” and become active participants in their own healthcare, ideally before problems arise. The intent of her work is to help women (and the men who love them) learn how to create health daily in their lives by understanding that their bodies are largely a barometer of the quality of their thoughts, relationships, diet, and environment. Once people learn that their bodies are a manifestation of their thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, they are in a position to change their lives from the inside out. They become empowered to change the way they see themselves and can gradually shift their focus from disease to health, regardless of starting point.
Dr. Christiane Northrup books include her latest book "Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Creating a Legacy of Physical and Emotional Health".
