The Call for Awareness

Feeling stomach aches, experiencing migraines, or enduring emotional highs and lows during menstruation shouldn’t be considered ‘normal’. Yet, many women, including myself, have navigated through these discomforts without the right clear guidance or education about our menstrual cycles.

Here is what I’ve come to discover after years of healing my cycle and helping hundreds of women achieve the same…

Recognizing Lesser-Known Symptoms

Beyond the typical symptoms, there are subtler signs of PMS that are often overlooked. 

These include: 

• Anxiety
• Lack of focus
• Decreased performance at work
• Insomnia
• Irritability
• Restlessness
• Reduced libido
• Physical and emotional exhaustion

While they may seem relatively minor, they signify imbalances within the body that impact overall well-being.

Nurturing the Body

To address these symptoms and restore balance, dietary tweaks can be immensely beneficial during the premenstrual phase. 

Incorporating superfoods such as adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha or Maca, along with female-specific herbs like Contryhel, Meadow Clover, Yarrow, and Angelica, can provide the nourishment and support your body craves. 

As well, opting for warm ;autumn foods; during the luteal phase further nurtures the body and prepares ‘her’ for menstruation.

Reconnecting with Body Wisdom

Embracing a holistic approach to menstrual health involves listening to the body’s cues and responding with care and understanding. 

By reconnecting with our bodies and honoring her wisdom, we pave the way for greater harmony, joy, and vitality in our lives, extending beyond the realm of intimate wellness.

On that note…

I believe every woman deserves a full education about her menstrual cycle. 

You have a sacred right to know how your body works, AND to be connected to it.

Having a deep connection to the energy of my womb has gifted me so much pleasure, abundance, fulfillment and joy – and I am not an exception. Hundreds of women have experienced the same miracles and profound shifts in their lives, all through embracing their feminine essence and learning how to listen to their body’s wisdom.
