The menstrual cycle
From puberty to menopause, your menstrual cycle plays a significant role in your life. But it’s so much more than just a once-a-month bleed. Your menstrual cycle influences your whole being and body. In understanding your menstrual cycle it unlocks a map to your wellbeing!
Periods tell you a lot about your health
Regular menstrual cycles reflect normal functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis (H-P-O axis), a vital sign of women and menstruators general health.
When you have a period, it indicates your body has reached its basic level of health for that month. That's right, periods are a barometer for a healthy functioning endocrine system AKA your hormones.
Fluctuating hormones throughout the different phases of your cycle, impact changes in your mood, body temperature, metabolism, energy, libido, fertility and immune system.
Every aspect of your menstrual cycle from regularity, volume & colour of blood, ovulation, basal body temperatures, PMS, and cramping are providing you with valuable feedback and information about your reproductive, menstrual and gynae health.
Tracking your periods can help you identify abnormal menstrual patterns and any potential health concerns.
So, tune in, track it, and leverage your inner wisdom.

The moon & your menstrual cycle
All around us the wisdom of the earth is expressed. Women's bodies and menstrual cycles are intimately connected to the seasons, lunar cycle and tides.
When we take the time to pause, we can hear the whispers of our body. Observation, stillness and reflection provide a path for us to move from outwardly to inward and vice versa.
The phases of the moon guide our spirit and intuitive wisdom, connecting us to the energetic realms. Each month, we have the opportunity to feel the pull and power of the moon. Creating our own inner tides with cycles of fullness and emptiness. When we understand the rhythm and cycles of the natural world we open our soul and body to its powerful monthly transformations, intuitive wisdom, and we move through the ebbs and flow of life with grace.
The wisdom of your menstrual cycle has been passed down generation from generation from woman to woman. Each and every month your period is an invitation to come home- home to yourself, home to your womb, home to your body.
The Woom Room
