Meet
Dr. Ihotu Ali
Doctor.
Bodyworker.
Birth worker.
Hi there!
I’m Dr. Ihotu (“ee-ho-too” means love) — I’m a chiropractor, bodyworker, birth doula and healthcare researcher who’s walked alongside families and individuals through pregnancies, births, and chronic pain journeys for the last 15 years.
Inspired by traditional healing practiced by my family, I developed a unique approach to integrative medicine that blends clinical science and research with various chiropractic techniques, Maya Abdominal and Craniosacral Therapy, Yoga and Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupressure, and more…
San Diego, we’re here.
I’m building Oshun Center’s West Coast clinical home — and I’d love to connect. Whether you’re looking for care, or you’re a chiropractor, midwife, doula, pelvic-health provider, or another integrative practitioner, I’d be glad to know you.
NOW ESTABLISHING OUR SAN DIEGO HOME

The meaning of Oshun.
Oshun (“oh-SHOON”) is an African spirit of the sweet waters. There are sweet-water spirits in every culture. We welcome yours here.
