The Jeyarani Way'
Gentle Birth Method was founded by Dr Gowri Motha in 1987 in London.
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.
