menstrual cycle work is an emerging field and can look like many things depending on who you work with.

Some professionals who work with the menstrual cycle go through the lens of fitness routines in sync with your cycle, others through nutrition, and still others through the medical model, approaching period pain with birth control, pain killers or medical intervention.

All of these different approaches serve a unique purpose for particular needs, the important thing is you find the practitioner working in the way that feels good for you.

And for many menstruators, a combination of different approaches is the best.

While I do cover basic practices such as how to use your menstrual cycle for safe sex or pregnancy planning, what foods or movement your body needs at different points of the cycle, and more, overall, the Moon Cycle Sanctuary approach is a bit different.

I work with you and your menstrual cycle holistically, meaning I work with your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs all together, and explore with you, overtime, how all these different parts of you may be interacting to create unwanted symptoms, be it painful periods, emotional swings, distracting cravings, and so on, that are showing up cyclically.

I then guide you in understanding how your symptoms are messages of imbalance that you can work with to create change in your life. I can’t guarantee our work together will fully resolve your symptoms. This is something that unfolds organically overtime. But I can work with your whole system to help you find what works for you now. So you are still living your fullest and most aligned life, within what is possible in this moment.

In this way, our work together is not focused ON fixing “what is wrong with you,” but instead looks at what is not working for you, and how you can make a shift to create a life that is closer to meeting your needs.

I will help you learn to interpret symptoms and external irritants not as things that are a binary good or bad, but simply as information that something is not in alignment with you, at each moment in your cycle. And the beautiful thing is, once you learn to understand, track and interpret your menstrual cycle, it becomes the perfect monthly feedback loop for how in alignment with yourself you are.

The other beautiful thing is, when we start to focus on shifting to meet your unique needs at each moment in the cycle, many of the unwanted painful or unpleasant symptoms simply vanish or significantly diminish on their own.

At the end of the day, my work with you is about building deeper awareness, understanding and attunement. It is about you and for you.

And it is designed to not only help you find relief from unwanted symptoms, but to empower you to live your most authentic, aligned, healthy and vibrant life. In rhythm with the natural cycles of our world.

The menstrual cycle is sacred because it reflects the rhythms of life and death, ebb and flow, up and down. This is the reality of life. And aligning with it as your fullest self, instead of fighting it, is the most powerful thing you can do.

Many menstruators who are highly sensitive, artists and creatives, deeply curious beings, or feel the call to connect more deeply with the earth and its natural rhythms from a place of belonging and reciprocity chose to work with me and their cycle. After initial symptoms or issues resolve, many continue working with their cycle for long periods of time, as it metaphorically contains messages applicable to a life devoted to learning, growth and expansion.

This work is best for menstruators who are interested in engaging deeply with themselves. It doesn’t require perfection or exact tracking every day, but you do need a certain desire to engage and pay attention.

As they say, you get out what you put in.

This is work that will remain with you as a deep source of knowledge, power and agency for your lifetime.
