198: Womb Awakening w/ Usha Anandi The Reclamation Project

Julianne has been in the divine feminine, womb awakening, somatic, and sexuality space for about two years now, so she was really excited to welcome Usha Anandi to the podcast, who has been studying these topics for so long.
 
Usha is the founder of the women’s health platform Womben Wellness, which offers accessible education that alchemizes science and the sacred to thousands of women all over the world. She is known for her offerings that invite inquiry and use of intuition to support students in cultivating expansion in the subtle energy bodies. She has guided hundreds of students into spaces of stillness and transformation through trainings and intensives internationally in Costa Rica, Mexico, India, Canada, and the United States.
 
Usha combines her knowledge and practice of the ancient Eastern energetic teachings with her apprenticeship of indigenous Zapotec midwifery and curanderisma with her maestra Doña Maria Carmen. She draws upon her education as a holistic nutritionist, childbirth educator, full-spectrum doula, folk herbalist, and yoga teacher to create profoundly comprehensive teachings offered in a clear, accessible, and compassionate way.

“In womb awakening, we’re tapping into all of our maternal ancestors, and we’re doing that work not only for us, but for them. The deeper our ability is to hold ourselves in discomfort and pain, the bigger well we carve for embodiment, empowerment, and sensuality.”
 
“This human journey can be crazy, and the womb teaches us how to hold ourselves with more kindness along our way.”
