Women's ways of knowing and body-knowledge in our culture have been overwhelmed by science and medicine. These disciplines seek to explain our bodies and the universe in objective and mechanical terms that can be measured and quantified. Science reduces observations to the most basic increments to increase understanding of how our physical bodies work.

While this method has obvious value, there are additional ways to explain our bodies and their processes that are less measurable or quantified, but that increase our understanding. Quantum physics has shown us that all things exist in relationship to one another and that there is really no true objectivity. Even a sub-atomic particle reacts to being observed and behaves in response to being "stared at." The simple act of observing through a microscope causes the particle to react self-consciously. Observation changes its behavior.

Women’s health care should reflect our physiology – rhythmic, cyclic, non-linear, intuitive and relationship-based. The practitioner must be willing to collaborate, educate, and support, working together with a woman to bring about the most optimal outcome. Our bodies should be free to unfold, according to our own timing, rather than being forced into a timetable created by an impatient outsider.
