My mission at Body Sense is to break down the taboo around menstruation and to reframe it as an essential compass, guiding us to better mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and sexual health.

What is Menstrual Cycle Awareness?
Menstrual Cycle Awareness is a practice of embodied cyclical living. It is a means to know yourself more deeply and to work with the natural rhythms of your body instead of pushing against them as you move through the cycles of your life, both large and small.
What brings you here?
Do you feel disconnected
from yourself or your body?
Do you feel burnt out,
exhausted, or discouraged
from all the striving?
Do you have PMS, or other menstrual cycle symptoms that you don’t know how to heal?
Are you frustrated by the way our culture frames menstruation?
Do you feel like you’re at the mercy of seemingly random changes in mood, energy, appetite, libido, motivation, creativity, or self-image?
You are not alone. You belong here.
Come explore the multifaceted experience of your menstrual cycle as a guide to your healing!

Your menstrual cycle is…
A compass for your life
We live in a culture obsessed with productivity, positivity, and progress. It is a linear, patriarchal society where the natural ebb and flow of the menstrual cycle is shamed and pathologized. The menstrual cycle provides a cyclical framework to guide your life, leaving room for activity and rest, light and dark emotions, growth and decay, inhale and exhale. In short, it gives us a framework through which to experience and understand the innate polarity of life, the real human experience.
A barometer for your overall health
Symptoms that show up in your menstrual cycle can be signs of underlying imbalances in your system as a whole. Our cycles tell us when we are out of balance, giving us opportunities to heal and restore our wellbeing.
Menstrual Cycle Awareness is for anyone who has a menstrual cycle, regardless of their gender.
The ways we experience our cycles are so unique to each of us. For some people, their cycles are a profound expression of their feminine energy, and are closely linked to their gender identity. For others, their cycles aren’t connected to their gender identity, and can in fact conflict with their gender.
I want to welcome anyone with a menstrual cycle to join me in this work.
Whatever your relationship with your cycle, it can only benefit from more awareness.
Let’s dive in to find your own unique connection to your cyclical internal world. Let’s turn the lights up on your own experience and find ways to care for yourself in a manner that aligns with your cyclical experience, welcoming all gender expressions within the world of cycle awareness.
MCA is not just for women. It’s for everyone with a menstrual cycle!
When you come into alignment with your cyclical self, your life will open up in ways you never imagined possible:

Feel embodied in all of the phases of your cycle, not just the ones where you feel strong and capable.
