What is Menstruality?
Menstruality* is the missing piece of the puzzle for women’s health. It will take you from chaos to calm and have profound effects on reducing PMS and PMDD symptoms, period pain and other menstrual health challenges, as well as a life-long, life-changing impact on everything from self confidence, relationships, work-life balance, to creativity, achieving goals and living the life you desire and deserve.
It allows you to reclaim your experience a woman - for yourself and for all women. By learning about the psycho-spiritual energies of the menstrual cycle and working closely with them, we can achieve a new harmonious relationship with our cycles and ourselves as women.
During the sessions we will look at all aspects of your current symptoms, along with your wider health and lifestyle. You will be asked to track your cycle daily while we are working together and bring your tracking diary to each session for analysis. I will advise and share tools that can help to provide symptom relief while also teaching you the foundations of Menstruality as your own personal self-care system.
We will also explore the three Maps of Menstruality, revisit your first period known as Menarche, look at the deeper psycho-spiritual meaning behind our menstrual cycles and explore how we can prepare for Peri, Menopause and Post-Menopause with this knowledge. The teachings will initiate you into your full authority and dignity. You’ll be able to better pace your energy, calm your nervous system and achieve a deep sense of belonging to Life itself.
Menstruality is both a pragmatic and everyday, while also transforming the way that you see and experience life as a whole.
* The term Menstruality came into being to describe the female life process in 2004 when New Zealand psychotherapist, Jane Catherine Severn, wrote an article Menstruality: the great feminine gestalt in the Gestalt Journal of Australia and New Zealand. She was concerned with the fact that we did not have a word to describe what she calls the 4 M’s—menarche, menstruation, menopause and the mature years. And without a word, the full power of this process could be easily ignored or dismissed. To remedy this she proposed the word Menstruality. To learn more about the wonderful Menstruality work of Jane Catherine's visit her website. You can also see a 2023 Insta Live discussion we had with Jane Catherine here.
