Hello beautiful soul,

I am Anna.

I am a guide, educator and holistic practitioner helping you to move from a place of discomfort and disconnection to a place of wholeness, self-trust and power so that you can show up in the world fully and authentically.

My own journey of connection with my body has been a long one and involved trying out various things that supported me in understanding myself better. For a long time, I felt out of place, disconnected from my body and not able to understand my own emotions. My body's responses were often related to not feeling safe enough with who I was. I felt tension and contraction in my body - probably originating from a lot of self-judgement as well as a feeling of inaccuracy. I often questioned myself. For a long time, that made my relationship with myself very critical and affected my relationship with others and my decision making. There was a lot of frustration, anxiety and worry until I realised that the answers to my problems lie within me. It was not about changing who I was , it was about diving deeper to understand the depths of my essence, to develop more trust in my uniqueness, to find more self-compassion and appreciation for myself. Over the years I studied and practiced holistic approaches such as art therapy, journalling, yoga, embodied practices as well as studying trauma approaches. The power of mind-body connection is huge and my realisation has been that by learning to look within, we can heal our wounds and affect our inner world and also the outer world. It's an inside out job. Always. The body has a story to tell us. If we listen, we will bring our body to ease and can tune in with its needs to provide nourishment, comfort and a loving space that is conducive to thriving and growth.

My vision is a peaceful world full of individuals who cultivate authentic and compassionate relationships with themselves and others, feeling supported by one another and with a sense of wholeness from within, feeling at home in their body and trusting its wisdom.

I am excited to be here to share with you what might support you on your unique journey.

“Everything you need to know is within you. Listen. Feel. Trust the body’s wisdom.”

Who is Body Alchemy Program for?

Body Alchemy Program...
I don't have much time. How much time will be required in between our sessions?

If you are trying to conceive, you can absolutely take this coaching program. It will support you in your fertility journey by creating space for more mindfulness, self-care, kindness and self-compassion in your life. This program will help you create a more sustainable way of living that will supports your fertility. However, it does not focus specifically on fertility nor can it guarantee that you will get pregnant upon its completion.
How do I know if I should commit to 3 or 6 month of coaching program?

Depending on your needs and your goals, you might benefit from 3 or 6 month coaching program. Before you commit, we will have a call to discuss your needs and where you are at. This call will help us establish which program duration will work for you best. You can schedule a connection call with me to discuss your needs here.
Where do the Individual Body Alchemy Sessions take place?

This program takes place Online via Zoom. All of the online sessions are set up in a way to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can show up as you are.
Will we do a lot of yoga during the sessions?

We will use yoga ( meditation, breathwork and yoga asana - yoga poses) as a tool to help you connect with your breath, body and mind. Yoga is not the only tool we will use but will play a big part of this coaching program. The focus of this coaching program is on becoming more aware and more connected to yourself, learning practical tools that can support you in your daily life so that you can live a more balanced and fulfilling life. If your interest is in learning yoga techniques in more depth, please check out my Private Yoga Sessions.
How much support will I get in between the sessions?

In between the sessions, we will do weekly check-ins via WhatsApp message or audio. The check-ins are intended to provide additional support to you if needed. This is a space for you to voice your thoughts and feelings on anything that is going on for you. You will be invited to ask for additional support if needed.
What is the discovery call?

dhjdshfjsd
Can I have additional sessions after the 3 or 6 months?

Yes! If you feel that you would like to continue with the sessions, you can book a single session or a package of 2 or 4 sessions. We can discuss this when your program is nearing the end.
What is Hormone Yoga?

Hormone Yoga Therapy was designed Dinah Rodriguez, a Yoga Teacher and Dr. of Psychology from Brazil. She has done a lot of research on the effect of certain yoga practices on the endocrine system. From these studies she developed a set of specific exercises to reactivate hormone production and recommended them to be practiced from the age of 35 to prevent and reduce menopausal symptoms. In women younger than 35, Hormone Yoga helps to improve fertility and to remove symptoms of PMS. Over time the practice has also shown to be beneficial for most other hormonal imbalances, like Thyroid Dysfunctions, Diabetes Type 1 & 2 or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. You can read more about Hormone Yoga here including contraindications for the practice.
How much time will be required in between our sessions?

This work depends on you and on how committed you are to yourself. Apart from our live gatherings, I would recommend setting aside at least 30 minutes per day to yourself, to have space to cultivate presence within which is where this work begins. This is your journey and it is totally up to you how much time you want to invest in yourself.
When can I expect changes in how I feel, in my life?

That depends on you. If you decide to invest time in this work, you will definitely notice changes in the relationship with yourself, your body, your cycle and this will start showing up in how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally. Some things might trigger unpleasant feelings, which does NOT mean that you are not moving forward in your healing journey. Often, before we can feel good, we need to visit some of the darker places of ourselves and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. This is part of the process and you will be supported as you move through it. This programme is 12 weeks and roughly 100 days which is the number of days that it takes for the egg to mature. This means that at the end of the programme, if you have made changes to your life, you might be able to notice changes in your hormonal balance. Again, this all depends on you and is very individual. The invitation here is to be patient and to apply little changes 1% at a time so you can slowly move in the direction of wholeness, power and self-trust.
Who is Feminine Hormone Alchemy programme for?

Feminine Hormone Alchemy is for women who are experiencing hormonal imbalance, menstrual challenges as well as any physical or mental discomfort or pain that is affecting any area of their life. This programme is for you if you seek to discover a sense of wholeness from within, develop more self-trust, more confidence in your body and in yourself in order to support your path of healing and restoring your hormonal balance naturally. This programme supports your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. It is also an invitation to live more fully and more authentically. It aims to help you in feeling in charge of your wellbeing and your life. Feminine Hormone Alchemy is for any woman who feels curious about her cycle or her nervous system and wants to learn more about herself through new tools. It is also for any woman who seeks to develop a habit of showing up for herself, be kinder and more compassionate towards herself amidst the challenges of life. This programme supports you in restoring and maintaining inner balance. If any of this sounds appealing to you and you feel drawn to this programme, - you can make the booking here
What is Compassionate Inquiry?

Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté over several decades while working with both patients and retreat participants. This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction. I use this approach in our work helping you to create a connection between your mind and body so that you can support your hormonal balance.
What is Menstrual Cycle Awareness?

Menstrual Cycle Awareness is a mindfulness tool, which helps you to be in tune with where you are in your cycle (which day, which phase/season) and how you feel physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. As you observe yourself through the different phases of the cycle for a number of months, you get to know your natural rhythms, fluctuations of your hormones and how all of this affects how you relate to yourself, others and the world around you. Overtime, you can use this awareness to feel more empowered in your personal and professional life. The term Menstrual Cycle Awareness was created by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, the authors of The Wild Power and founders of the Red School. You can read more about Menstrual Cycle Awareness here
Should I attend all the sessions live? Will there be recordings available afterwards?

I would encourage you (if possible) to attend all the sessions live. When we attend live sessions, we are more engaged with the process of learning and experiencing ourselves. However, if for some reason you cannot attend the live session, there will be a recording available for you afterwards, which you can watch at the time that works for you. All the recordings will be stored in one place and you can refer to them whenever you need.
Where does Feminine Hormone Alchemy take place?

Feminine Hormone Alchemy takes place Online via GoogleMeets. All of the online sessions are set up in a way to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can show up as you are.
Is this programme for me if I am pregnant?

Some aspects of this programme will not be relevant to you if you are pregnant. The hormone yoga practice is not suitable for pregnant women. Some content we cover is related to menstrual cycle which won't be relevant to you in this moment but might be a good preparation for when your cycle has returned. If you are interested in aspects of this programme, you could still join and we could discuss the possibility of offering you pregnancy yoga sessions instead of hormone yoga. I am a qualified pregnancy yoga teacher and can support you on your journey to birth and welcoming a new life to this world. If you want to discuss this, you can book a Free Connection Call to discuss the details further.
How much support do I get in between the sessions?

We will meet for our learning circle, roughly every two weeks. We will have a weekly hormone yoga class and also some space to process in a group. In between our meetings, you will have time to integrate what we covered in the different sessions and perhaps practice new ways of showing up for yourself, in the world. Each participant can also book a 1:1 coaching session with me where we can address your individual needs. If there is any extra support needed. you can reach out and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
I am trying to conceive. Is this course for me?

If you are trying to conceive, you can absolutely take part in this course. It will support you in your fertility journey by creating space for more mindfulness, self-care, kindness and self-compassion in your life. This course will help you create a more sustainable way of living that will supports your fertility.
I am on the pill. Is this course for me?

If you are on the pill, you are welcome to take part in this course. You will not experience the cyclical patterns of your cycle as most hormonal contraception eliminates ovulation so the natural hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle do not occur. However, you can still benefit from the course by learning about how your nervous system affects your hormonal health and the importance of looking at our wellbeing holistically to support the body, mind and spirit. You might also choose to create some form of cyclicality by staying in tune with the moon cycle.
How much 1:1 support will I get?

As part of the course, you will get 1 private coaching/check-in session (60 mins). This session can be used as a general check-in half way through the course or as a coaching session to support you further in your process of living more in rhythm with your cycle and with yourself. If you need extra 1:1 support, you can let me know and we will discuss the available options.
How much time do I need to commit to this course?

The weekly Monday session will be 2.5 hours long ( including a break half way through). Outside of the live group sessions, it is up to you how much time you invest in the applying the knowledge/skills to your life. I would recommend at least 1.5-2 hour per week for your cycle charting, exercises, journaling and diving into some additional materials that will be shared with you. You are welcome to invest more time depending on your availability and your needs.
I have irregular periods. Is this course for me?

Yes - absolutely. This course is designed for anyone with a period. Whether your period is regular or irregular, you will be able to benefit from this course.

Yes,. There are many reasons you might not have your period : pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, amenorrhea, no physical womb, eating disorders etc. This programme is about taking a holistic look at your wellbeing to support the body, mind and spirit. If you don't have a cycle, you will be invited to work with the lunar cycle and seasons instead.
I don’t know anything about the menstrual cycle. Can I join?

Yes - absolutely! This programme is suitable for anyone who doesn't know anything about the menstrual cycle, has some knowledge or knows quite a lot about the science of it but would like to get a more holistic view of it. This programme will not only explore the science behind the menstrual cycle but will also explore how practising mindfulness, self-awareness, nervous system tracking and various yogic/body-mind practices impacts our overall wellbeing.
What is included in the course fee?

What is Hormone Yoga?

Hormone Yoga Therapy was designed Dinah Rodriguez, a Yoga Teacher and Dr. of Psychology from Brazil. She has done a lot of research on the effect of certain yoga practices on the endocrine system. From these studies she developed a set of specific exercises to reactivate hormone production and recommended them to be practiced from the age of 35 to prevent and reduce menopausal symptoms. In women younger than 35, Hormone Yoga helps to improve fertility and to remove symptoms of PMS. Over time the practice has also shown to be beneficial for most other hormonal imbalances, like Thyroid Dysfunctions, Diabetes Type 1 & 2 or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. You can read more about Hormone Yoga here including contraindications for the practice.
How much time will be required in between our sessions?

This work depends on you and on how committed you are to yourself. Apart from our live gatherings, I would recommend setting aside at least 30 minutes per day to yourself, to have space to cultivate presence within which is where this work begins. This is your journey and it is totally up to you how much time you want to invest in yourself.
When can I expect changes in how I feel, in my life?

That depends on you. If you decide to invest time in this work, you will definitely notice changes in the relationship with yourself, your body, your cycle and this will start showing up in how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally. Some things might trigger unpleasant feelings, which does NOT mean that you are not moving forward in your healing journey. Often, before we can feel good, we need to visit some of the darker places of ourselves and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. This is part of the process and you will be supported as you move through it. This programme is 12 weeks and roughly 100 days which is the number of days that it takes for the egg to mature. This means that at the end of the programme, if you have made changes to your life, you might be able to notice changes in your hormonal balance. Again, this all depends on you and is very individual. The invitation here is to be patient and to apply little changes 1% at a time so you can slowly move in the direction of wholeness, power and self-trust.

What is Compassionate Inquiry?

Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté over several decades while working with both patients and retreat participants. This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction. I use this approach in our work helping you to create a connection between your mind and body so that you can support your hormonal balance.
What is Menstrual Cycle Awareness?

Menstrual Cycle Awareness is a mindfulness tool, which helps you to be in tune with where you are in your cycle (which day, which phase/season) and how you feel physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. As you observe yourself through the different phases of the cycle for a number of months, you get to know your natural rhythms, fluctuations of your hormones and how all of this affects how you relate to yourself, others and the world around you. Overtime, you can use this awareness to feel more empowered in your personal and professional life. The term Menstrual Cycle Awareness was created by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, the authors of The Wild Power and founders of the Red School. You can read more about Menstrual Cycle Awareness here

Who is Body Alchemy Program for?

Body Alchemy Program...
I don't have much time. How much time will be required in between our sessions?

If you are trying to conceive, you can absolutely take this coaching program. It will support you in your fertility journey by creating space for more mindfulness, self-care, kindness and self-compassion in your life. This program will help you create a more sustainable way of living that will supports your fertility. However, it does not focus specifically on fertility nor can it guarantee that you will get pregnant upon its completion.
How do I know if I should commit to 3 or 6 month of coaching program?

Depending on your needs and your goals, you might benefit from 3 or 6 month coaching program. Before you commit, we will have a call to discuss your needs and where you are at. This call will help us establish which program duration will work for you best. You can schedule a connection call with me to discuss your needs here.
Where do the Individual Body Alchemy Sessions take place?

This program takes place Online via Zoom. All of the online sessions are set up in a way to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can show up as you are.
Will we do a lot of yoga during the sessions?

We will use yoga ( meditation, breathwork and yoga asana - yoga poses) as a tool to help you connect with your breath, body and mind. Yoga is not the only tool we will use but will play a big part of this coaching program. The focus of this coaching program is on becoming more aware and more connected to yourself, learning practical tools that can support you in your daily life so that you can live a more balanced and fulfilling life. If your interest is in learning yoga techniques in more depth, please check out my Private Yoga Sessions.

This is a space for you to voice your thoughts and feelings on anything that is going on for you. You will be invited to ask for additional support if needed.
What is the discovery call?

dhjdshfjsd
Can I have additional sessions after the 3 or 6 months?

Yes! If you feel that you would like to continue with the sessions, you can book a single session or a package of 2 or 4 sessions. We can discuss this when your program is nearing the end.
What is Hormone Yoga?

Hormone Yoga Therapy was designed Dinah Rodriguez, a Yoga Teacher and Dr. of Psychology from Brazil. She has done a lot of research on the effect of certain yoga practices on the endocrine system. From these studies she developed a set of specific exercises to reactivate hormone production and recommended them to be practiced from the age of 35 to prevent and reduce menopausal symptoms. In women younger than 35, Hormone Yoga helps to improve fertility and to remove symptoms of PMS. Over time the practice has also shown to be beneficial for most other hormonal imbalances, like Thyroid Dysfunctions, Diabetes Type 1 & 2 or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. You can read more about Hormone Yoga here including contraindications for the practice.
How much time will be required in between our sessions?

This work depends on you and on how committed you are to yourself. Apart from our live gatherings, I would recommend setting aside at least 30 minutes per day to yourself, to have space to cultivate presence within which is where this work begins. This is your journey and it is totally up to you how much time you want to invest in yourself.
When can I expect changes in how I feel, in my life?

That depends on you. If you decide to invest time in this work, you will definitely notice changes in the relationship with yourself, your body, your cycle and this will start showing up in how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally. Some things might trigger unpleasant feelings, which does NOT mean that you are not moving forward in your healing journey. Often, before we can feel good, we need to visit some of the darker places of ourselves and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. This is part of the process and you will be supported as you move through it. This programme is 12 weeks and roughly 100 days which is the number of days that it takes for the egg to mature. This means that at the end of the programme, if you have made changes to your life, you might be able to notice changes in your hormonal balance. Again, this all depends on you and is very individual. The invitation here is to be patient and to apply little changes 1% at a time so you can slowly move in the direction of wholeness, power and self-trust.
Who is Feminine Hormone Alchemy programme for?

Feminine Hormone Alchemy is for women who are experiencing hormonal imbalance, menstrual challenges as well as any physical or mental discomfort or pain that is affecting any area of their life.

It aims to help you in feeling in charge of your wellbeing and your life. Feminine Hormone Alchemy is for any woman who feels curious about her cycle or her nervous system and wants to learn more about herself through new tools. It is also for any woman who seeks to develop a habit of showing up for herself, be kinder and more compassionate towards herself amidst the challenges of life. This programme supports you in restoring and maintaining inner balance. If any of this sounds appealing to you and you feel drawn to this programme, - you can make the booking here
What is Compassionate Inquiry?

Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté over several decades while working with both patients and retreat participants. This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction. I use this approach in our work helping you to create a connection between your mind and body so that you can support your hormonal balance.
What is Menstrual Cycle Awareness?

Menstrual Cycle Awareness is a mindfulness tool, which helps you to be in tune with where you are in your cycle (which day, which phase/season) and how you feel physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. As you observe yourself through the different phases of the cycle for a number of months, you get to know your natural rhythms, fluctuations of your hormones and how all of this affects how you relate to yourself, others and the world around you. Overtime, you can use this awareness to feel more empowered in your personal and professional life. The term Menstrual Cycle Awareness was created by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, the authors of The Wild Power and founders of the Red School. You can read more about Menstrual Cycle Awareness here
Should I attend all the sessions live? Will there be recordings available afterwards?

I would encourage you (if possible) to attend all the sessions live. When we attend live sessions, we are more engaged with the process of learning and experiencing ourselves. However, if for some reason you cannot attend the live session, there will be a recording available for you afterwards, which you can watch at the time that works for you. All the recordings will be stored in one place and you can refer to them whenever you need.
Where does Feminine Hormone Alchemy take place?

Feminine Hormone Alchemy takes place Online via GoogleMeets. All of the online sessions are set up in a way to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can show up as you are.
Is this programme for me if I am pregnant?

Some aspects of this programme will not be relevant to you if you are pregnant. The hormone yoga practice is not suitable for pregnant women. Some content we cover is related to menstrual cycle which won't be relevant to you in this moment but might be a good preparation for when your cycle has returned. If you are interested in aspects of this programme, you could still join and we could discuss the possibility of offering you pregnancy yoga sessions instead of hormone yoga. I am a qualified pregnancy yoga teacher and can support you on your journey to birth and welcoming a new life to this world. If you want to discuss this, you can book a Free Connection Call to discuss the details further.
How much support do I get in between the sessions?

We will meet for our learning circle, roughly every two weeks. We will have a weekly hormone yoga class and also some space to process in a group. In between our meetings, you will have time to integrate what we covered in the different sessions and perhaps practice new ways of showing up for yourself, in the world. Each participant can also book a 1:1 coaching session with me where we can address your individual needs. If there is any extra support needed. you can reach out and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
I am trying to conceive. Is this course for me?

If you are trying to conceive, you can absolutely take part in this course. It will support you in your fertility journey by creating space for more mindfulness, self-care, kindness and self-compassion in your life. This course will help you create a more sustainable way of living that will supports your fertility.
I am on the pill. Is this course for me?

If you are on the pill, you are welcome to take part in this course. You will not experience the cyclical patterns of your cycle as most hormonal contraception eliminates ovulation so the natural hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle do not occur. However, you can still benefit from the course by learning about how your nervous system affects your hormonal health and the importance of looking at our wellbeing holistically to support the body, mind and spirit. You might also choose to create some form of cyclicality by staying in tune with the moon cycle.
How much 1:1 support will I get?

As part of the course, you will get 1 private coaching/check-in session (60 mins). This session can be used as a general check-in half way through the course or as a coaching session to support you further in your process of living more in rhythm with your cycle and with yourself. If you need extra 1:1 support, you can let me know and we will discuss the available options.
How much time do I need to commit to this course?

The weekly Monday session will be 2.5 hours long ( including a break half way through). Outside of the live group sessions, it is up to you how much time you invest in the applying the knowledge/skills to your life. I would recommend at least 1.5-2 hour per week for your cycle charting, exercises, journaling and diving into some additional materials that will be shared with you. You are welcome to invest more time depending on your availability and your needs.

Yes - absolutely. This course is designed for anyone with a period. Whether your period is regular or irregular, you will be able to benefit from this course.

What is included in the course fee?

Some aspects of this programme will not be relevant to you if you are pregnant. The hormone yoga practice is not suitable for pregnant women.

This program will help you create a more sustainable way of living that will supports your fertility.

How do I know if I should commit to 3 or 6 month of coaching program?

Depending on your needs and your goals, you might benefit from 3 or 6 month coaching program. Before you commit, we will have a call to discuss your needs and where you are at. This call will help us establish which program duration will work for you best. You can schedule a connection call with me to discuss your needs here.
Where do the Individual Body Alchemy Sessions take place?

This program takes place Online via Zoom. All of the online sessions are set up in a way to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can show up as you are.
Will we do a lot of yoga during the sessions?

We will use yoga ( meditation, breathwork and yoga asana - yoga poses) as a tool to help you connect with your breath, body and mind. Yoga is not the only tool we will use but will play a big part of this coaching program. The focus of this coaching program is on becoming more aware and more connected to yourself, learning practical tools that can support you in your daily life so that you can live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

dhjdshfjsd
Can I have additional sessions after the 3 or 6 months?

Yes! If you feel that you would like to continue with the sessions, you can book a single session or a package of 2 or 4 sessions. We can discuss this when your program is nearing the end.
What is Hormone Yoga?

Hormone Yoga Therapy was designed Dinah Rodriguez, a Yoga Teacher and Dr. of Psychology from Brazil. She has done a lot of research on the effect of certain yoga practices on the endocrine system. From these studies she developed a set of specific exercises to reactivate hormone production and recommended them to be practiced from the age of 35 to prevent and reduce menopausal symptoms. In women younger than 35, Hormone Yoga helps to improve fertility and to remove symptoms of PMS. Over time the practice has also shown to be beneficial for most other hormonal imbalances, like Thyroid Dysfunctions, Diabetes Type 1 & 2 or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. You can read more about Hormone Yoga here including contraindications for the practice.
How much time will be required in between our sessions?

This work depends on you and on how committed you are to yourself. Apart from our live gatherings, I would recommend setting aside at least 30 minutes per day to yourself, to have space to cultivate presence within which is where this work begins. This is your journey and it is totally up to you how much time you want to invest in yourself.
When can I expect changes in how I feel, in my life?

That depends on you. If you decide to invest time in this work, you will definitely notice changes in the relationship with yourself, your body, your cycle and this will start showing up in how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally. Some things might trigger unpleasant feelings, which does NOT mean that you are not moving forward in your healing journey. Often, before we can feel good, we need to visit some of the darker places of ourselves and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. This is part of the process and you will be supported as you move through it. This programme is 12 weeks and roughly 100 days which is the number of days that it takes for the egg to mature. This means that at the end of the programme, if you have made changes to your life, you might be able to notice changes in your hormonal balance. Again, this all depends on you and is very individual. The invitation here is to be patient and to apply little changes 1% at a time so you can slowly move in the direction of wholeness, power and self-trust.
Who is Feminine Hormone Alchemy programme for?

Feminine Hormone Alchemy is for women who are experiencing hormonal imbalance, menstrual challenges as well as any physical or mental discomfort or pain that is affecting any area of their life.

It aims to help you in feeling in charge of your wellbeing and your life. Feminine Hormone Alchemy is for any woman who feels curious about her cycle or her nervous system and wants to learn more about herself through new tools. It is also for any woman who seeks to develop a habit of showing up for herself, be kinder and more compassionate towards herself amidst the challenges of life. This programme supports you in restoring and maintaining inner balance. If any of this sounds appealing to you and you feel drawn to this programme, - you can make the booking here
What is Compassionate Inquiry?

Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté over several decades while working with both patients and retreat participants. This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction. I use this approach in our work helping you to create a connection between your mind and body so that you can support your hormonal balance.
What is Menstrual Cycle Awareness?

Menstrual Cycle Awareness is a mindfulness tool, which helps you to be in tune with where you are in your cycle (which day, which phase/season) and how you feel physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. As you observe yourself through the different phases of the cycle for a number of months, you get to know your natural rhythms, fluctuations of your hormones and how all of this affects how you relate to yourself, others and the world around you. Overtime, you can use this awareness to feel more empowered in your personal and professional life. The term Menstrual Cycle Awareness was created by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, the authors of The Wild Power and founders of the Red School. You can read more about Menstrual Cycle Awareness here
