Holistic Menstrual Cycle coaching

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

Healing, connecting, empowering

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 needs integration. While sometimes this is the hormones themselves, most often our symptoms are indicators of 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. I work best with people who want to connect with their cycle (or partner’s cycle) as an ally and guide and are seeking to actively engage with their life in an intentional and purpose driven way.

Why Choose menstrual Cycle Immersion Work

The menstrual cycle is a powerful tool for self-awareness, resilience, and embodied leadership. When we learn to understand it with honesty and depth, it becomes a lifelong source of clarity, grounding, and personal power.

In working with me you will learn to:

  • Understand your body deeply — beyond the surface-level education most of us received.

  • Navigate emotional and energetic shifts with resilience — instead of being blindsided by them.

  • Find real relief from pain and symptoms — by learning how to listen to what your body is asking for and respond with care.

  • Build healthy rhythms — in rest, nourishment, work, and stress management.

  • Use natural cycle awareness — for family planning, birth control, and deeper alignment with your fertility.

  • Strengthen your relationships — by communicating needs clearly and fostering empathy through cycle awareness.

  • Speak up for your needs — developing a deeper understanding of your needs and language for advocacy and self-respect.

  • Experience the cycle as a path of spiritual awakening — a monthly opportunity to connect with meaning, intuition, and inner guidance.

  • Increase your capacity — to navigate complex challenges with nuance, resilience, and self-trust in an ever-changing world.

  • Transform shame into empowerment — carrying a foundation of worth into every area of life.

Your cycle was never the problem, it’s the portal.

My approach is grounded, relational, body positive, pleasure embracing, welcoming of all identities, and combines the latest research with deep attunement to your individual needs and unique circumstances.

    In it we will:

    • Practice awareness and regulation tools that will support you and your newly menstruating child moving forward

    • 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

  • Full moon in a starry night sky.

    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

  • Full moon in the night sky with visible craters and a few stars surrounding it.

    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!”

  • Full moon against dark night sky.

    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

  • Full moon shining brightly in a cloudy night sky with wisps of clouds around it.

    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

  • Full moon with a silhouette of tree branches in the foreground against a dark night sky.

    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.”

  • Full orange moon rising behind dark silhouetted trees against a dark night sky.

    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.
