She is a world renowned author, pioneer and visionary illuminating women all over the world to flourish with her health expertise and wisdom. She has more than 4.4 million books in print, in 24 languages. She has also hosted seven highly successful public-television specials, beginning in 1998. Her latest is based on the newly revised edition of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and first aired nationwide in June 2010.

She has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the Today Show, NBC Nightly News, The View, Rachael Ray, Good Morning America, 20/20, and The Dr. Oz Show. I especially admired her on a health documentary called “Hungry for Change”. It is truly an honor and a dream alike to have been given a chance to speak with such a beautiful soul, Dr. Christiane Northrup, today on Soulspeak.

Who is Dr. Christiane Northrup?
Dr. Christiane Northrup is a brand new version of herself. All or parts of me from my birth to age 4 went into hiding…

I am an OB Gyn, a visionary, a pioneer in wholeness and health.

I have created a new language of women’s health… I’m at a brand new beginning. I am a dancer, a goddess, a joyful being in addition to being a healer and doctor. My sense of childlike wonder and joy are very important to me now. But they are solidly routed in the reality of being at the bedside of women in the very throes of everything from death and pain to birth and joy. I know the human experience in all its glory, all its sorrows. I choose to dance anyway because doing so is part of the healing of the entire planet.

Is this something you saw yourself doing, even as a child?
No, absolutely not. I never thought I’d be a doctor.

I was drawn to the harp, to nature divas and ballerinas. It was an extraordinary foundation for me- very unlike the way medicine is taught and practiced– as though it’s separate from nature and energy and spirit.

You work a lot with women. Tell me about your experience with men and their own healing.
The beauty of my experience with men is being able to understand the depth of their love and devotion. To see that the woundedness of women adversely affects the wholeness of men. That they will die for a devotion, for an idea…. The thing that keeps them going is to serve the goddess.

By being who I am and helping the women in men’s lives, I am helping to heal men.

Men want to be heroes, We as women can help uplift them and make them heroes.

It is time we know how powerful a woman is in a man’s life. If she stays steady to her own divinity, sexuality, a man can be elevated to his full stature, by a woman who believes in him.

We have a whole planet that is raped and wounded. The only way out is a path that includes delight and pleasure- as well as being “wiling” to release the pain.

People ask each other “How are you fighting violence?” I’m not going to fight it, because what you fight gets bigger. You have to surrender to the joy and pleasure but first you have to grieve for what you have lost, grieve for what hasn’t been because at the end of it is, in the words of Buddhist nun Pema Chodron– A BIG BLUE SKY. All these near death experiences let us know the truth about who we really are. It is our nature to be childlike and joyful.

What have you learned from yourself lately?
I’ve learned that the beloved that I’ve been seeking outside is within me. All my grief and sorrow is a failure to connect with the divine in me. I am whole and complete. I have the ability to create heaven on earth.

I also learned that I love Argentine Tango. I surrender to that. I’ve learned to dance my own dance and simply let go of the what the mind tells me. Our mind is a bad neighborhood. I learned that God comes through us as us. It took me 45 years to know this.

I’ve also learned that we choose families that challenge us to see how God comes through us.

Tell me about “Hungry for Change”. What do you love most about this movie?
The filmmakers are an adorable and beautiful couple from Australia. What I love most about this movie is that it talks about the spiritual nature of the diet. That self love is the solution to the pain you have been carrying all your life. The fact that everyone in the movie had been either very ill or morbidly obese and lived to talk about it from a place of true healing.

Jon Gabriel, he was very inspiring to me. When he talked about being 400 pounds and losing all that excess weight. It was amazing. He reminds me of Archangel Gabriel. He really is an angel. People like Jon, it’s like they come here and take on these physical bodies and put on all that weight and then they realize that this is what they came here to do… heal, and transform their lives… And when someone like that transforms it’s just wonderful.

Any regrets?
My one regret is that I wish I had known about orgasmic pleasurable birth when I was giving birth to my children. I would still have walked out of the hospital the same day like I did with both births. I might even have had home births. I have no other regrets.

What is LOVE?
Love for me is a feeling in my chest and in my heart that makes my entire body uplifted and tingly. Right between weeping, and laughing. It is the substance that binds the universe together and it does not require anything. Love is unconditional.

Your ONE MESSAGE to the world.
You have the power of creation itself within your heart. You can trust your dreams. You can trust your desires. You can trust what you are naturally drawn to. Don’t let anyone let you think differently because they will try. For every test you survive you will get stronger. You are stronger.
