2.The Cervix: From Hysterectomy and a Trapped Period to Healing Through Self Discovery + Deep Listening ~ Lora Groves

Send us a text

Lora found herself with a trapped menses after a LEEP procedure following abnormal pap smear results. Feeling stuck and without many options, she opted for a hysterectomy.

She was in a difficult and abusive marriage at the time with four children; and while strapped for resources she found her way to a TCM practitioner who would help her in trade.

In the intro, I dig into the GNM roots of cervical issues, which align perfectly with Lora's experience. She also shares how opening an old box of love letters revealed parts hidden within her, both difficult and beautiful, and how her healing journey deepened with self discovery.

In this case, Lora found healing both through allopathic procedures and alternative methods, with an underlying themes of letting go, stepping in, and listening.
