Episode 29 Integrating Magic & Medicine With Dr Danielle Arabena

There is magic and medicine in story telling and my guest today is one of the best at all three of those things.

Dr Danielle Arabena is an Indigenous doctor, healer, witch, and a doula. She is a shamanic healer, a holistic pelvic care practitioner, and an all round witty and wonderful witchy woman.

She is a keeper of the crossroads between magic and medicine, and how these things can coexist. For any science or health practitioner who is wu-wu curious, comes from a diverse cultural background, or is simply feeling they hide to their spirituality and culture, Danielle is your go to.

She has stood on a stage at medical conferences speaking about astral travel and no one set her on fire or tried to drown her.

Danielle is a kindred spirit in that she, like me, has earned degrees in part to prove a point. To have people take us and our healing gifts seriously. It’s not been an easy ride by any means, but Danielle has found ways to heal in a way that feels authentic and aligned.

Danielle and I talk about birth as a sacred practice and her ability to feel the energy between the two worlds. We talk about trauma in the context of the erasure of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, and ways in which we can make space for Indigenous families to feel safe and supported.

You are more powerful than you know. If birth workers and the people they serve remember that they are powerful, then we will change the world.
