WISDOM CYCLES
~ Uncovering your body’s inherent wisdom
“Sometimes you come across a class that you wish you’d known about your whole life. You realise what a difference it would have made if you’d had the information sooner. This is one such class. I may be coming towards the end of my cycles but in the 6 weeks of classes Natalie’s wise and gentle teaching style has taught me so much about what I can do each month to ensure these last years put as much future health ‘in the bank’ as possible. I know many young girls and older women who could benefit from Natalie’s insights and I will be recommending this class to all of them.”

Our bodies are exquisitely complex, and yet the ways in which we can support them are surprisingly simple.
This 6-week online course is designed to de-mystify your menstrual cycle whilst at the same time highlighting its immense wisdom and power as a guiding force.
Over the six classes, wisdom from both Eastern and Western medicine is woven together, with simple yet powerful practices and lifestyle tweaks, to equip you with all you need to move towards hormonal balance and more easeful periods.
You will discover the hidden gems that your menstrual cycle holds for you (even if it is painful or full of uncomfortable symptoms) and learn how to tap into its wisdom to enhance all areas of your life and health.
Please join me for this course to:
•Deepen your understanding of your pelvic anatomy and physiology, and discover how to care for your pelvic organs so that you can move towards optimal health.
•Explore how other organ systems of the body influence and impact the smooth flow of your menstrual cycle, and how to create harmony.
• Learn to decipher the often confusing messages from your body during your menstrual cycle, and how to address uncomfortable symptoms.
• Understand key causes of hormonal imbalance that lead to challenging conditions such as PMS, PCOS, Endometriosis and Fibroids, and learn how to regain balance through the foods you eat and self-nourishment techniques.
• Gain the tools to track your cycle and pinpoint your most fertile window each month, which is beneficial for both when trying to conceive and for contraception.
• Learn a deeply nourishing abdominal self-massage sequence to support optimal health and well-being, along with many other self-care practices, which you can do from the comfort of your own home.
