Holistic Menstrual Cycle Consulting

Menstrual cycle education, coaching and community for adults, couples and teens

depth oriented, research based, nervous system informed, multicultral perspective

your menstrual cycle isn’t just a hormonal rhythm – It’s a system for emotional, mental, physical and spiritual insight and healing.

When we experience challenges with the cycle, it is often an indicator that something is out of balance or something is needing integration. While sometimes this is the hormones themselves, often times there are other physical, mental, emotional and spiritual pieces of life that have strayed from alignment.

My work focuses on building your awareness and understanding of your cycle, when you are in and out of your own personal pillar of balance, and how to navigate back to restore health, vitality and empowerment.

Common reasons people work with me:

  • Coming off (or planning to) hormonal birth control

  • Dealing with PMS, PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS and chronic pain

  • Struggling with emotional regulation, period pain, migraines, overwhelm

  • Feeling exhausted, depleted, stressed, and disconnected from themselves and their bodies

  • In a relationship and feel your relationship with your cycle is impacting your ability to connect with your partner

  • Want to practice safe sex/family planning without hormones

  • Want to optimize health through cycle syncing

  • Feel a deep calling to reconnect with your inner wisdom and power

And more. My approach is grounded, relational, and combines the latest research, in attunement with your individual needs and unique circumstances.

    If you are interested in this offering for your teen, you gather the group, and I provide the service. I work with groups of 4-10 teens at a time, minimum 11 years of age, max age 16. This is a wonderful offering for a tight knit group of friends to enter menstruation together with awareness and empowerment. Depending on the season and your preference, I offer weekend workshops or 1-month weekly meet up immersions.

    • Initiate the new menstruators into their cycle journey with the heart felt wisdoms, reflections and insights you wish you had received.

    • Create a sense of strength, pride and empowerment in understanding in living in harmony with our cycling bodies, so the next generation can begin their menstruation journey in alignment and authenticity

    This is a beautiful opportunity to find your own healing and empowerment by sending your child into their cycling years with power and intention and for your newly menstruating child to feel a sense of pride and community.

    Please inquire directly for details and rates.

So if the cycle is so impactful, why do we know so little about it?

The shaming and erasure of the menstrual cycle dates back to the beginning of patriarchal and dualistic societies and dominant modern religions. Prior to this, many ancient cultures (pre-3000 BCE) viewed ‘earth as mother’ and revered the cycle as an essential and sacred element of life, and many indigenous cultures and non-western lineages revere the power of the menstrual cycle and honor the different phases in cultural practices. While we have made great advancements on understanding the cycle and supporting the cyclical body in recent years, most modern-day menstruators remain disconnected and unaware of their cycle, and left with the painful repercussions this has on their daily lives.

So, what does this mean for you and your menstrual cycle? Or for those growing up now with cycles?

While there is still a lot we are learning about the cycle, luckily, we now have much of the information needed to understand the cycle and how it is our greatest tool for regaining inner healing, balance, empowerment and alignment.

The menstrual cycle acts as a highlighter of our current state of health, showing us when we are in or out of balance: mind, body, heart or spirit. And so people’s journeys with their cycles are highly personal and a reflection of their own unique story and experiences, as well as broader cultural archetypes.

Some people seek cycle awareness as a tool for personal empowerment around family planning and safe and healthy sex, others use it as a tool for healing and relief from painful physical, mental, emotional or spiritual symptoms (for which the cycle is perfectly aligned as the nature of healing is cyclical), others use it as a guide for optimizing health, creativity and productivity, and still more see it as a way of reclaiming our connection with the natural world, as the way we treat our bodies often reflects our relationship with the world around us.

Whereever you are in your journey, holistic menstrual cycle awareness can support you

Testimonials

  • Has your relationship with your cycle changed?

    “It's changed drastically! Before this class, for years I had taken birth control pills and skipped the placebo week so I never got my period. I also would've taken nearly anything to just get rid of my period entirely and forever. It was a thorn in my side and nothing else. Now, I wouldn't change a thing! I mean there are parts of my cycle that I don't love still but I appreciate so much that I have it and can learn how to track it and get to know myself and my body better than ever”

    -Audrey, Session 3

  • What surprised you most in this process?

    “that all the feelings I've had for so many years aren't because I'm "crazy," they're because of my hormones and cycle!”

  • Has your relationship with your cycle changed ?

    “As a person who has endometriosis, IBS, and other chronic pain conditions, it isn't entirely realistic to expect to ever have a completely positive relationship with my cycle in the traditional sense. What I have gained is actually much more important than merely being content with my cycle. What I have gained is a thorough understanding of my cycle and all of the ways it impacts my life…. I largely attribute the change in the severity of my chronic pain to what I have learned in this course. Over the last couple months I have had less severe pain and fewer chronic pain days than I've had in a very long time. There are numerous other significant changes, but for me this is the one that stands out the most and is more than I could have ever imagined gaining from an online course.”

    -Alyssa, Session 1

  • What surprised you most?

    “I was surprised to find out how unaware and unconscientious I was about my body”

  • Has your relationship with your cycle changed?

    “Definitely. i think about it a lot and am just more aware of how it could possibly be affecting my moods. whereas before I would be like "i don't know why i suddenly feel this way", now I'm like "well, I probably just ovulated so my estrogen might be lower and in this part of the cycle people are generally less extroverted". It helps me understand what's going on in my life/body more.”

    -Anonymous, Session 2

  • Do you have any general feedback?

    “I had such a lovely timing being in community and having a place that felt open and welcoming to discuss things going on in my life and then relating that to where I was at in my cycle.”

  • Has your relationship with your cycle changed?

    “I now look at my cycle as a useful tool for self-check ins, motivation, understanding, and forgiveness”

ABout Me

Hi my name is Rae ~ I am a holistic menstrual cycle educator and coach with over 15 years of in-depth research into the menstrual cycle and its impact on emotional, physical, and psychological wellbeing. I bring an integrative lens to this work, combining my background in neuroscience (B.A., Kenyon College), clinical training in somatic psychology (M.A. candidate, CIIS), and hands-on experience in therapeutic, educational, and land-based settings.

My professional path includes years of work in wilderness therapy, outdoor education, and sustainable agriculture, along with leadership and director roles in community-based programs. I also have a deep foundation in rites of passage work — both formal and lived — which informs my understanding of transformation, healing, and initiation. My work is grounded in a historical and multicultural lens, honoring both the ancient traditions, the systemic erasures that have shaped our collective relationship to menstruation and the body, and the reality of the modern world we live in today.

For the past three years, I have facilitated group workshops and one-on-one coaching focused on using the menstrual cycle as a powerful framework for self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth. My approach bridges science, somatics, and cyclical wisdom, offering a grounded and deeply informed path for those seeking to reconnect with the intelligence of their bodies and live in greater alignment with their natural rhythms.
