What is menstrual cycle coaching?
Work with me
Hello and welcome:) My name is Rae (she/her) ~ I’m a menstrual cycle educator and coach. My curriculum and approach is highly integrative and intersectional.
My background
Informing my work is the weaving together of scientific research on the hormones and cycle, neuroscience, psychology, and somatic psychotherapy, including a highly trauma informed perspective, critical examination of culture and history and how societal narratives show up in our bodies every day, ecological + earth based knowledge, mindfulness and Buddhist perspectives, wilderness rites of passage, reclaiming of the erotic, and more.
I have a BA in Neuroscience, am currently completing an MA in Somatic Psychotherapy, have 10+ years working in experiential education, curriculum design and wilderness guiding, and 10+ years researching and working with the menstrual cycle.
I am also a musician, dancer, tender of the land, and former Waldorf student (aka earth child from the start).
Who I work with
I currently work with adult menstruators (age 18+, sliding scale).
This work is for you if you have a menstrual cycle (all genders and identities welcome). Whether you are struggling with cyclical symptoms (such as PMS or PMDD) or wanting to develop a deeper understanding and connection to your body and cycle, this space is for you.
I work best with individuals who are eager to learn and explore, long to feel a greater sense of connection and reciprocity with themselves and the world around them, want to attune to their deepest selves and lead from within, who value relationship, connection and reciprocity, who long to move slower, feel more deeply, and find more space in this fast moving world of ours.
Common Reasons People work with me:
You feel like your menstrual cycle is an emotional rollercoaster you are being taken on every month, leaving you feeling like you’re always catching up (but not…)
You struggle with emotional regulation and grounding at particular points of your cycle
You feel fatigued or experience significant pain prior to and during your period
You feel your relationships and ability to navigate work and other elements of life are impacted by your cyclical experience
You feel disconnected from yourself, your purpose, and your body and want to be more deeply attuned and embodied
You feel a longing to reconnect with cyclical ways of being, to honor your body’s rhythms
You want to understand your cycle more deeply and have a more conscious relationship with your whole self, body, mind, heart and spirit
You value learning to lead from within while staying connected and in relationship with the world around you
You believe being in healthy relationship with your own body is the first step to building healthy, respect based and reciprocal relationship with all other beings and the natural world
You want to feel connected to something greater than yourself from a grounded point of view: your body and the rhythms it shares with the other cycling bodies, our ancestors, and the natural seasons and life and death cycles of our world
My Approach
I have been trained by the Berkeley Hall of Science and Outward Bound in designing curriculum based on how people actually learn.
For this reason, our work together will be highly experiential, relational, attuned to you and integrative. You can expect a mixture of: educational material (always brief and palatable), personal exploration through writing, art, movement, nature, and other modalities, guidance in personal tracking and mindfulness tools as well as frameworks to interpret and understand your newfound knowledge, and more.
In our work together I will invite you to find greater empowerment, connection, curiosity, purpose, belonging and vitality through softening, opening, holding, connecting, listening, tending, giving and receiving.

I work with individuals 1:1 and also have group offerings.

I use a trust-based sliding scale framework that recognizes we each hold different levels of financial access and systemic privilege. Please read the tiers below and choose the rate that feels most honest for your current situation.
Sustainer Rate
The high end of the sliding scale. Choose this rate if you have financial stability and access to resources that allow you to comfortably meet your needs.
You might:Have steady income, savings, or generational support
Own property or have investments
Travel or purchase non-essentials with ease
Want to support others’ access to this work
This rate helps keep the practice sustainable and allows me to offer reduced-cost spots to others.
Standard Rate
The middle of the sliding scale. Choose this rate if you are covering your needs but with limited flexibility.
You might:Have steady or moderate income, but little savings
Carry some debt or face financial trade-offs
Afford basic needs and small extras, but not without effort/planning
Benefit from paying a fair rate while still honoring your budget
This is the true cost of the service and reflects the baseline needed to sustain the work.
Supported Rate
Choose this rate if you are experiencing financial hardship or systemic barriers to wealth or stability.
You might:Have difficulty meeting basic needs (rent, food, bills)
Be unemployed, underemployed, or in a major life transition
Have significant debt or no financial safety net
Rely on this reduced rate to access support
This tier is made possible by those paying at higher levels.
