About This Course
Your Struggles, Solved
Your menstrual cycle isn't just something to endure—it's a sophisticated compass for navigating life. Understanding its rhythms can transform your relationship with your body and unlock hidden potential.
You're likely facing:
- Viewing Your Period as a Burden - You see your cycle as something to tolerate rather than a powerful tool for self-awareness and empowerment.
- Struggling with PMS and Pain - Monthly symptoms disrupt your life because you lack effective strategies to manage and reduce their impact.
- Disconnection From Your Body - You're living out of sync with your natural rhythms, causing unnecessary stress and energy depletion.
This course teaches you to map your cycle's "inner seasons," helping you understand how hormonal changes affect your energy, mood, and productivity. You'll learn practical tracking techniques and nervous system regulation methods that can reduce symptoms over time. By aligning your lifestyle with your cycle, you'll discover how to work with—not against—your body's natural wisdom.

Her methodology uniquely combines myofascial release, Pilates, and trauma-informed techniques with nervous system regulation.

This personal struggle became her catalyst for discovery—revealing that menstrual cycles aren't just biological processes but sophisticated compasses for navigating life. Her journey from corporate success to menstrual wellness advocate wasn't just a career change; it was a complete paradigm shift that transformed her relationship with her body and led her to develop techniques that have since helped countless others.
Lisa's approach centers on meeting you exactly where you are in your menstrual journey, whether you're struggling with painful periods or simply wanting to harness your cycle as a tool for greater well-being. She creates a judgment-free space where practical techniques blend with compassionate guidance, empowering you to stop fighting your cycle and start flowing with its natural wisdom, ultimately transforming what feels like a monthly burden into your greatest superpower.
Course FAQ
Not at all! Lisa designed this course for all levels of cycle awareness—whether you're just starting to pay attention to your period or you've been tracking for years. The content builds progressively, beginning with foundational knowledge before diving into more nuanced techniques. You'll receive clear guidance and practical tools regardless of your starting point.
Many students notice increased awareness and small improvements within their first cycle after applying the nervous system regulation techniques. The more significant benefits—like reduced pain and mood fluctuations—typically develop over 2-3 cycles as you implement the lifestyle alignment strategies consistently. Remember that this is about creating sustainable change, not quick fixes—your body will respond at its own perfect pace.
Absolutely! Irregularity actually makes cycle mapping even more valuable as a tool for understanding your body. Lisa specifically addresses how to adapt the tracking methods for irregular cycles, helping you identify patterns even when your period isn't predictable. The nervous system techniques are beneficial regardless of cycle regularity, and many students find that consistent practice gradually brings more stability to their cycles.
This course is designed with practical implementation in mind. You'll learn simple daily tracking methods that take just minutes, and Lisa provides templates for planning your month according to your cycle phases. Many students find that cycle-aligned living actually creates more time and energy by helping you work with your body's natural rhythms instead of fighting against them. The course includes specific sections on adapting these practices for various lifestyles and commitments.
While free resources offer general information, this course provides a comprehensive, personalized approach to cycle awareness. Lisa's expertise combines traditional wisdom with modern research, offering unique nervous system regulation techniques you won't find elsewhere. You'll receive guided practices, customizable tracking tools, and a systematic method for creating your individualized cycle map—transforming theoretical knowledge into embodied wisdom that actually changes your experience.
Sharing your cycle awareness with partners can significantly enhance your relationships, though it's completely optional. The course includes a specific module on communicating about your cycle with others, with scripts and strategies for helping partners understand your changing needs and energies. Many students report that their partners appreciate this knowledge and that it creates more harmony and mutual understanding in their relationships.
Definitely! The cycle awareness and nervous system techniques are especially valuable during perimenopause when hormonal shifts can become more pronounced. Lisa addresses the perimenopausal transition specifically, providing adaptations for tracking and managing symptoms during this phase. Many perimenopausal students find that these tools help them navigate this transition with greater ease and self-compassion.
