Gowri Motha
Born in Sri Lanka and raised in South India Gowri with her mother (called Jeyarani) and her doctor father, she was immersed in conventional medicine and what we would now term “complementary” therapies from a very early age. When she initially trained as a doctor she believed that conventional medicine was the way forward in obstetrics. However, while working as an obstetrician in London, she found that, in reality, obstetrics was a form of crisis management – of dealing with the mother’s problems once she was in labour. She saw women struggling to give birth, unable to deal with the demands of labour, in shock and unhappy with their birthing experience. As a doctor she helped these women, as much as she could, but she thought that there must be another way - a way of mentally and physically preparing a mother for labour, so that these crises did not happen and they could give birth in a manageable, natural and nurturing way. Having been an Obstetrician in a conventional medical setting at a teaching Hospital in London for 12 years she then began investigating the alternative therapies that had been part of her life so long ago. She became an expert in these therapies and by mixing the best of the conventional, with the best of the alternative, she created “The Jeyarani Way” Gentle Birth Method.
Dr Motha inspires confidence and has had such success in helping women, to have the wonderful births that they had hoped for, because she has exceptional talent and is able to span the divide between conventional and alternative medicine.
- Being an experienced medical doctor her clients are confident in her medical knowledge.
- Being an expert in the complementary therapies that are part of the programme, her clients know that they are getting the best of treatments, at the right times throughout their pregnancy.
Mothers know that Gowri, and her personally trained team, will use the best of the West and the best of the East in order to help them have a wonderful healthy pregnancy and birth, which then results in a calm baby.
