Spring 2025 Menstrual Cycle Foundations course

Menstrual Cycle Foundations, Spring 2025

BEgins May 5th

Navigating the ups and downs of your cycle—on top of the ups and downs of life—can be a lot, but with the proper information, tools and community, it has the potential to completely transform, and transform your life.

This course is designed to give you the kind of empowerment that recognizes the cycling body as an essential resource and deep root of wisdom, not a problem to be solved.

  • This 8-week live course gives you the menstrual cycle education you never received—but always needed.

    You'll learn:

    • The biological foundations of your cycle

    • How to track for contraception or conception

    • How to reduce PMS and period pain

    • How to align your movement, nutrition, and creativity with your cycle

    • And how to build an honest, supportive relationship with your own body

    But most of all—you’ll reclaim your rhythm as a guide.
    You’ll come home to your body, in a way that makes space for clarity, self-trust, and connection.

  • This class is open to anyone currently menstruating, age 18+, regardless of gender identity or birth control status.

    You don’t need to have a “perfect” cycle—or even be off birth control—to benefit from this space.

    We keep class sizes small (8–10 students) to support a sense of intimacy, connection, and shared learning.

When we support each other to learn and change, we become part of the collective shift that makes space for everyone, menstruators and not, to embrace their unique power, instead of living in stigma, silence, or pain.

This is more than gaining a few facts about hormones or tracking.
This is a shift—toward more self-love, deeper community, and inner leadership.

For a closer look at what the course includes—or how to work together one-on-one— see the full breakdown below.

One-on-One Cycle Mentorship

I'm currently accepting new one-on-one clients who are ready to explore their menstrual cycle as a path to deeper health, clarity, and embodiment.

Together, we’ll work at the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels to bring you back into alignment with your natural rhythm.

The Menstrual Cycle Foundations Course

This 8-week live course is designed to ground you in the essential information, tools, and community needed to reconnect with the natural wisdom of your cycle—and learn to use it as a guide for healing and growth.

Whether you’re experiencing period pain, mood swings, hormonal confusion, or seeking a deeper connection to yourself, this course gives you the foundation to shift out of reaction and recovery—and into clarity, rhythm, and self-trust.

Classes meet via Zoom for 90 minutes each week. Group size is intentionally small (8–10 students) to allow for connection, support, and meaningful conversation.

What You’ll Learn, Week by Week

Week 1 — Your Cycle Story

Uncover and reshape the beliefs, messages, and experiences you’ve carried about your menstrual cycle. Begin the journey by rewriting your story through a lens of curiosity and empowerment.

Week 2 — Mindfulness & Tracking

Build a sustainable daily practice of listening to your body’s subtle cues. Learn how to track not just for information, but for deeper insight, clarity, and care.

Week 3 — Biological Foundations

Understand how your body actually works. Learn what to listen to, what to ignore, and how to navigate symptoms with greater confidence.

Week 4 — The Archetypal Cycle, Part I

Explore how hormones shape your energy, focus, mood, appetite, creativity, and even your relationships—often more than you realize.

Week 5 — The Archetypal Cycle, Part II

Go deeper into the four phases and archetypes of the cycle, including practical tools for aligning with each one in daily life.

Week 6 — Special Topic (Voted by You)

A collaborative deep dive. Past sessions have included:

  • Menstrual Cycle & Nutrition

  • Cycle-Based Exercise

  • Pleasure & Sexuality

  • The Cycle & Creativity

  • Mental Health

  • Shadow Work
    ...and more.

Week 7 — The Menstrual Cycle as a Vital Sign

Your cycle is not just a nuisance or a burden—it’s a vital sign. Learn how to use it as a tool for emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

Week 8 — The Next Right Thing

Integrate what you’ve learned and apply it to your real life. Whether you’re tracking for birth control, managing chronic symptoms, or seeking deeper embodiment, this final class helps you anchor the work and carry it forward.

What Makes This Different

This course isn’t just about information. It’s about transformation—personal and collective — however that looks for you.

The menstrual cycle is a path to self-awareness and inner leadership. By learning to track it mindfully and honestly, you will learn to harness it as the gift it is to bring you continuously further into personal alignment, health, and connection.

Cycle work is unique to each individual, but when menstruators collectively reclaim their cycles as powerful, intelligent, and worthy of reverence—we all benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Past Participants Are Saying:

“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

~

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

~

“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

~

“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.”

~

“I was surprised to find out how unaware I actually was about my own body.”

What

Can’t make the Foundations course or want to dive deeper into your menstrual cycle?

Work with me one-on-one to:

  • Clarify your intentions and goals.

  • Are you struggling with PMS symptoms? Do you feel like you’re on a rollercoaster every month of catch up and recovery? Are you coming off hormonal birth control and want to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms with intention? Are you looking to understand your cycle for birth control, family planning or fitness and health optimization? Or learn to tap into your cycle’s natural energy flow to tap into your own creativity and vitality? Whatever your menstrual cycle goals, we will clarify a few key intentions to focus on during our 4 sessions and make a plan to get you moving towards where you want to go.

  • Customized education and tracking tools + coaching

  • Once we have established your intentions for our sessions, I will design a customized education and coaching plan for you to implement over the next few months to help you develop the relationship with yourself and cycle you want.

  • The next right thing

  • At the end of our 4 sessions, I will design a customized set of ways to move forward that will keep you aligned in your cycle work and moving towards your goals.

How

One on one sessions are available in packages of four, 1-hour sessions. Typically, sessions are scheduled every 2 weeks over 2 months, but the schedule can be adapted to your needs. Live sessions (in person or via zoom) include personalized education and coaching on topics relevant to your personal cycle goals. They also include weekly email check ins, reminders and assignments/prompts.

Price is sliding scale 280-360$/package (4 sessions). Any amount given over 340$ will be added to the scholarship fund to make this work more accessible to others. Thank you for your generosity and support.

Why

Your menstrual cycle affects you at every level, every day, whether you are aware of it or not. From your ability to focus to desire to go out and socialize, to the way you experience pain and pleasure, your hunger and craving levels, sexual desire, calories your body is burning, and so much more. These are essential pieces of information you need to understand your body and self and improve your overall health, well-being, and relationship to yourself.

Mindful menstrual cycle education takes it one step further. In our sessions we will go beyond the ways science has shown the cycle to affect menstruators to examine how you can use your menstrual cycle as a tool to understand the underlying causes of your symptoms and how to use the wisdom of your own body and cycle to work to resolve them.

Some part of you already knows that there is something deep in you that is ready to be more aligned, empowered and connected in your life.

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 the course?

    “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 in the course?

    “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”
