A self-guided online course offering a holistic perspective on all things menstrual cycle wellness from science and hormones to energy management and creativity. Join us on this path as we learn to feel more in flow with our bodies and in our lives.


Have you struggled in some way with your menstrual cycle and are now looking for answers? For so long, women have put up with intense pain or emotional suffering around their cycle every month. I am here to tell you this is not normal and that there is another way! This course will offer you two things. First it will offer a clear and practical path to reducing any kind of difficulty around the menstrual cycle, including physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual challenges. Second, it will offer you a new approach to relating to your menstrual cycle. Your cycle can in fact be a superpower - something that supports you in your everyday life rather than be a burden. I will show you how! 



“I want you to know that it is pleasure, not pain, that is your birthright.”

Testimonials:

"Absolutely loved this course"

by Emer, Ireland

I absolutely loved this course and got so much from it. I originally did it to learn about menstrual cycle awareness due to an endometriosis diagnosis late last year. I have already seen an improvement with my periods with the help of Lisa through cycle tracking and changes to my diet. However on top of that, I learned so much about myself and how I relate to the world. I feel more positive about my life moving forward. I really enjoyed learning about other women's experiences on the course which further enriched my own. I now have the confidence to practice menstrual cycle awareness myself moving forward which makes the experience of being a woman way more rewarding.

"A Blessing in my life"

Jessica, USA

Lisa has been a blessing in my life. She is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable women I have met who was the perfect fit for what I needed when I met her. As they say, when the student is ready, the teacher appears.

"This course was fantastic"

Kim, Ireland

The course was fantastic. By completing this course it reminded me of the importance of self-care/allowing myself time to explore /learn more about myself and my journey as a woman. I now allow myself to go slower and be kinder during the tender/vulnerable times of my cycle. Thank you, Lisa.
