Healing from within.
Natural feminine cycles (from the menstrual cycle to pregnancy and the menopausal transition) are powerful biological and psychospiritual processes intelligently embedded in our deepest nature — yet, these cycles have been distorted, medicalized, chemically suppressed, and forced into unnatural rhythms alongside the domestication and restraint of the instinctive feminine nature.
Feminine cycles are inherently life-affirming initiatory processes. This intelligent and creative feminine alchemy, which forms the fulcrum around which every woman’s life naturally unfolds, has been painfully misunderstood, discounted, and pathologized in modern western culture.
Modern medicine too often seeks to label the challenges we experience in women’s bodies as “disorders” or “syndromes” (for example, PMDD, PMS, endometriosis). But the truth is that modern medicine generally does not understand the uterus, let alone most of what it labels as feminine disorders (fact: what is taken as fact is largely unsubstantiated theory). And the deeper truth is that these experiences are part of a larger process unfolding in the body as one continuous feedback loop that is woven through all the layers of one’s being. Diagnoses, although potentially validating our experience, can be incredibly limiting and a barrier to healing at the root cause. What modern medicine considers disorders are messages from the body as it seeks to adapt to the circumstances presented by the way we live our lives. And those messages, coming only from within in us, carry precisely the information we need to heal. Root cause healing and true resolution doesn’t occur through medication or surgery - it occurs when we have resolved the underlying energetic holding patterns in the body and in our lives.
Modern medicine is also fixated on the purely physical and continues to view the body in separate parts or systems rather than as one cohesive feedback loop. No part of the body can be separated from any other - everything is connected down to a cellular level and beyond, just as your body cannot be separated from your life and all that influences it (including your thought and behavioral patterns, your relationships, your environment, and the culture in which you live).
By recognizing, respecting, and honoring the natural ebb and flow of our cyclicality throughout our lives, we can learn to work with nature rather than against it. When we embrace and attune to the changing nature of our bodies, rather than making it wrong or in need of fixing, we can actually openly receive its messages and intentionally reattune the nervous system to a healthy state that invites healing, resilience, and empowerment. Understanding menstrual and menopausal processes as healing allies opens the door to transformation.
I offer a grounded, trauma-informed approach to healing the menstrual body that honors the deep intelligence of your cycle, the stories held in your tissues, and your capacity to reclaim ease and connection. I support you to re-discover the innate intelligence of your body and its ability to self-heal. Perceived weaknesses are reframed as essential resources for your well-being and healing. Psycho-emotionally, untapped resources are identified that allow you to repair incomplete developmental steps and trauma recorded in your nervous system. Biologically, you are guided to resolve energetic blockages and imbalances that manifest in the form of physical symptoms.
This work helps you to access the inherent rightness and wholeness of your being.

A Sangha of Cyclical Beings: re-inhabiting the power and potency of our bodies' wild rhythms and cyclical wisdom.
“The Holy Feminine is that which restores us to the innerness of all things, to the sense that all things are full of life, Holy, that we are no longer on the outside looking at the world as a set of objects, but inside this whole living, breathing presence called Life. In such a moment we can have meaning and place, a ‘holding’ within the cosmos. And we become vessels through which the future can speak to us, asking us to unfold and evolve for the sake of us all. It is participatory consciousness.”
