Excited to share my chat with Sophie Messager, who bridges worlds that rarely meet; a former reproductive physiologist with a PhD, she traded her microscope for a medicine drum after experiencing the transformative power of an empowered birth. 

With plenty of examples, Sophie shares about the fascinating science behind drumming, and its transformative, healing resonance not just on our physical, mental and emotional health, but also during child birth. 

She reminds us of the connection between the drum beat and the heart beat and describes the role women carried as drummers in ancient times - and why it was so important for patriarchy to disconnect us from this role. 

Sophie also talks about her brilliant new book that invites women to reclaim their rhythmic heritage and harness the healing power of percussion for personal and collective transformation: The Beat of Your Own Drum: the history, science and contemporary use of drumming as a path for women’s wisdom, health, and transformation

Enjoy!
